Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

OllieSuave-007 I remembered renting this movie from our local video store with my mom when I was a little kid and when I first watched it with my parents, I laughed so hard I've found myself rolling on the ground, prompting my mom to tell me to contain myself.In this South African film, things start off interesting when an African bushman named Xi (N!xau) in the Kalahari desert discovers a discarded Coke bottle, which fell from the sky, thinking it was from the Gods. It was interesting to see how these primitive people utilize their new modern find as Xi takes it back to his village, where they use it for many tasks. The intrigue starts when the villagers begin fighting over it, prompting Xi to set off on a journey with the bottle to find an appropriate place to dispose of it. Along the way, he bumps into traveling school teacher Kate Thompson (Sandra Prinsloo) and bumbling biologist Marius Weyers (Andrew Steyn), and stumbles upon a plot by a despotic revolutionary.The three leading actors gave off a lot of physical comedy, from Xi's surprised and confused expressions as he spots and try to learn how to utilize new modern things like driving a car, to the awkward chemistry between Kate Thompson and Marius Weyers. Them getting themselves entangled in the revolutionary plot became a good guy vs. bad guy subplot and provided a lot of exciting adventure and action that will sure captivate an audience.Jamie Uys did a great job in writing and directing this movie. He carefully assimilated the primitive village with the modern world, and what resulted is non-stop fun, laughter and entertainment.Grade A

ammar-rehmani The movie showcases the innocence of a Bushman in a selfish (modern world) add slapstick to it, both elements of comedy are done in a innocent way. One of the best foreign comedy movie I have seen. The stories have a beautiful connection among them. I particularly enjoyed the part of Bushman tribe and kept thinking how the director managed to shoot them while maintaining their natural essence. The second element I loved was the slapstick comedy, I cannot remember last time I saw slapstick done in such a funny way. There were parts when I burst into laughter.The dialogues really added a flavor to the movie, even though they were dubbed, except a few. And finally the characters. The Bushman might take the limelight but for me the scientist was the funniest of them all. Enjoy this apparently simply but extremely well thought out comedy.

Bezenby Years ago I caught this film on cable television, and watched about twenty minutes of it before switching off. I thought it was the biggest pile of rubbish that I'd ever seen, what with speeded up Keystone Cops slapstick in just about every scene, and a guy in a Rhino suit pretending to be the real thing. Add to that the documentary style narrative and you have, for me at the time, one of the worst films ever. But I've watched it just now and must say I was well wrong. I must have been in a bad mood or something, because the Gods Must Be Crazy is wonderful.A pilot flying over Botswana throws and empty coke bottle out of his window, and it ends up landing in a village of bushmen. Not knowing what it is, their leader, played by a real Bushman called N!Xau, finds many uses for it before it's usefullness inspires jealousy and envy. Now seeing it as an Evil Thing, he tries throwing it back to the Gods, whereupon of course gravity takes hold and it bounces off of his son's head. N!Xau then decides to head off to the edge of the world and throw it away.Meanwhile a Communist leader attempts a coup but fails, and the authorities chase him and his men into Botswana.Also meanwhile a South African gentleman and his mechanic are asked to pick up a white woman who wants to teach people in a nearby village. The things is, this guy (Mr Stane, I think his name was) gets very nervous in the company of women, and his jeep, dubbed the anti-Christ by the mechanic, doesn't help matters.All these elements come together, of course. N!Xau is arrested for killing a goat (he has no concept of ownership) and is only helped out by Mr Stane and the mechanic (who can speak N!Xau's language). While out in the wilderness working away, they spot, using a telescope, that the teacher and her pupils have been kidnapped by the Communist leader, who hopes he can make it out of the country while using them as hostages. Here, N!Xau knowledge of stalking comes into play.This movie is very odd, but also very entertaining and sometimes touching. You've got to envy N!Xau's simple life, and the bemused look on his face at the idiotic things people in the developed world do is a wonder to behold. So is his language, a series of clicks mixed with spoken words. You get used to the speeded up sequences (Keystone cops rocket launcher attack?) and it becomes clear that there is some genuine humour behind all the slapstick. The scene at the end when N!Xau throws the bottle away in silent contemplation is a cracker (yes - he does find the end of the world, sort of). He must be the least neurotic film character I've ever seen.Highly daft and slightly cheesy, with great cinematography (which was probably missing all those years before DVD), you come away from this film feeling a lot better, which doesn't happen often.

Nimisha EP This is one hell of a movie!!It's a place where humor meets innocence. I remember watching this move 10 years back and it left a mark in me.The movie has two sequels to it, but the one that has done it all is this part! It captures the journey of Xi(N!xau), to dispose the 'evil thing' (a coke bottle) that accidentally falls 'from the sky', in a remote village in Africa. What one expects with this kind of a plot is how Xi tackles the real world outside him.For this movie , the amusing element is how well he adapts to it.Xi's journey intertwines with the journey of many other interesting characters and creates a laughter roll. Do not dismiss the movie as soulless, because it is full of it. And N!xau is a star!
