Humans are laughing at themselves

The fast-forward part is full of laughs. When the film depicts the life of primitive tribes, it looks serious, making me mistakenly think it is a BBC documentary, but the picture cuts to the crazy life of modern civilized people, and suddenly it is a joke. It looks like, haha, it turned out to be a comedy... In the eyes of primitive people, modern people are gods, but what are gods doing? Stressful work life, driving a car to put a letter at the door, smashing countless bananas in a fierce battle between the government and terrorists, no matter where there is always someone deserting, pushy playboy, doctor's funny confession... Modern people are more and more evolved The more bizarre, the primitive people have the simplest thinking. They are hungry to hunt, willing to share with others, always smiling and optimistic, easy to satisfy, but we modern people with rich species frown for more desires all day long... God is funny and crazy, maybe humans are laughing at themselves!

    I remember that when I was a child, the school organized it to watch it. Now I look back and look at the pictures. It seems very bad now, but for a movie in the early 1980s, you can think about so many problems, but it is extremely precious.

    Very good film, I love it! Laugh from start to finish. But after I laughed I was ashamed. Human beings have lost their innocence due to civilization.

The Gods Must Be Crazy quotes

  • Steyn: I don't want to talk about it. She thinks I'm a lunatic and I don't blame her. You know, she asked me what do I do. And I say I collect manure. I don't tell her I analyze it for my doctoral thesis. I bet you she thinks I shovel the stuff.

  • Jack Hind: Was it rough?

    Kate Thompson: I'd rather not talk about it.

    Jack Hind: That rough.
