In a form similar to a documentary, primitive people and busy urban people are linked together one day. Little do they know that modern people who master language, know shame, and advanced are also evolved from the most primitive and do not understand anything. Looking at it now, their world is simple. A simple drinking bottle is enough to arouse the interest of the majority of ethnic groups. They can use it to do various things and bring a lot of joy. At the same time, it also produces possession, selfishness, etc. Demonic signs, a powerful mission forced him to embark on a journey to lose the bottle. And here, in the human world, because of interests, some wars have been triggered, and the two types of people who met, despite the language barrier, the initial human kindness still exists, so, instead of changing each other, it is more about respect. After watching this movie, if you were asked to choose a life, would you choose simple and backward, or convenient and hurried? At the end of the play, the expert on elephants gave the primitive man what he deserved. The next second, the primitive man continued to embark on his journey to get rid of the bottle, and by the way scattered the banknotes in the wind, like this Yeah, he's just so cool.

The selfishness and greed that people have was not there in a long, long time ago, but suddenly many, many "bottles" fell from the sky.

The Gods Must Be Crazy quotes

  • Narrator: The one characteristic which really makes the Bushmen different from all the other races on earth is that they have no sense of ownership at all. Where they live, there's really nothing you CAN own: only trees and grass and animals. In fact, these Bushmen have never seen a stone or a rock in their lives. The hardest things they know are wood and bone. They live in a gentle world, where nothing is as hard as rock, steel or concrete.

  • Narrator: Lately, strange new things sometimes appeared in the sky: noisy birds that flew without flapping their wings.
