Xingye is old, and Lisu does not know where

This kind of comedy is very "Escape from a Tiger's Mouth". Although I feel a little stupid now, it is cute and ridiculous.
Li Su's simplicity makes him seem out of place in modern civilization, full of laughter. I first saw this African native who was dubbed by Stephen Chow and Wu Mengda in "African Monk". At that time, I felt that he was a god-like existence. This unmodified image of Hibiscus from Shimizu is absolutely unique in the history of world cinema. He is an alternative comedy star, but he can't be repeated. It is said that after a few plays, he got tired of it and returned to the primitive tribe of life.
The two lines seem to be incompatible, but in the end they are cleverly combined. This narrative method is actually very anti-Hollywood. If it could be a little more subtle, it would be nice to combine that coke bottle with the male or female protagonist, or the rebel leader who threw the bottle, so that the previous plot of Lisu is at least less detached. There are also some plots in Lisu that can be combined with the male and female protagonists, so it looks more holistic.
Xing Ye is old, and Li Su doesn't know where it is. That kind of pure comedy that makes people laugh from beginning to end is as rare as a beautiful woman.

    The style of Jackie Chan’s early movies is super similar to this...

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.
