Never lose hope

This movie was born before I was born. I didn't meet it until today.

It always makes me cry. Sometimes I shed tears with laughter, and sometimes I shed tears when moved.

Many people have profoundly analyzed "God Is Crazy" from the perspectives of anthropology and sociology. Some people say that the director was not so profound when he made this film, and he did not expect to cause an international sensation. It happened to be praised by future generations. to.

But after I got to know Youyis, I believed in his original intention.

Uis was born on May 30, 1921 in a small town called Boksburg in eastern South Africa. He has filmed 24 films in his life, including screenwriter, director, and producer. For some of the films, he even took care of photography and editing. Due to various international restrictions on South Africa, this talented director is not well-known internationally. I also found out about him after watching "God Is Crazy". In 1974, he also made a film that won the Golden Globe Award for the best documentary, called "Animals Are Beautiful People", the Chinese translation is "Cute Animals", and I prefer to translate it as "Beautiful People" ".

Mr. Youyis’ style is always so natural and fresh. He is very good at communicating with the natural world. I think only people who love and respect life can express the loveliness of the world in such a real way.

"God Is Crazy" is one of the best movies. Not being rigid or pretentious, even a groundhog can't help but make people love it.

Also to be praised is the soul figure of the film-Li Su. You Yisi spent three months in the African savannah to find the native actor. Before that, Li Su had only seen three white men. It cannot be said that Li Su acted Ji live, it should be said that Li Su acted his true self.

This is a simple, well-meaning movie. It never makes life lose hope.

Sadly, Mr. Ewes passed away in 1996, and Li Su also followed him in 2003 in his beloved home, a primitive village.

I think that God must be reluctant to bear them and wants to keep them by his side.

Lament and bless.

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.
