6.5 points. The film was highly rated, but I didn’t catch a cold when I saw it. It's nothing more than taking the simple and honest African indigenous people to start the dish. It's fine if you are really good at it. The problem is that once the scene is shifted from the indigenous people to the line of male and female pigs, the whole film will immediately become a third-rate comedy movie. Regardless of the lens, performance, or music, there is no bright spot. Maybe it was because the original creativity was too shocking at the time to have such an evaluation~

I don't think this movie is funny...
Narrator: They must be the most contented people in the world. They have no crime, no punishment, no violence, no laws, no police, judges, rulers or bosses. They believe that the gods put only good and useful things on the earth for them to use.
Narrator: Only 600 miles to the south, there's a vast city. And here you find civilized man. Civilized man refused to adapt himself to his environment; instead, he adapted his environment to suit him. So he built cities, roads, vehicles, machinery, and he put up power lines to run his labour-saving devices. But somehow he didn't know where to stop. The more he improved his surroundings to make life easier, the more complicated he made it. So now his children are sentenced to 10-15 years of school, just to learn how to survive in this complex and hazardous habitat they were born into. And civilized man, who refused to adapt to his surroundings, now finds he has to adapt and re-adapt every hour of the day to his self-created environment. For instance, if it's Monday and 7:30 comes up, you have to dis-adapt from your domestic surroundings and re-adapt yourself to an entirely different environment. 8:00 means everybody has to look busy... 10:30 says you can stop looking busy for 15 minutes. And then you have to look busy again... And so your day is chopped into pieces, and in each segment of time you adapt to a new set circumstances.
Narrator: [Kate looks for a place to have her lunch] My I share a table?
Kate Thompson: No wonder some people go off the rails a bit...
Young woman with noise in her head: Does the noise in my head bother you?
Young woman with noise in her head: No...
Kate Thompson: [Later, Kate finds Pete] Pete, Have you still got that story about the teacher shortage in Botswana?
Pete: Yeah, you gonna use it?
Kate Thompson: No. Maybe they can use me.
Narrator: But in the Kalahari, it's always Tuesday, or Thursday if you like, or Sunday. No clocks or calendars tell you to do this or that.
