| Tsotsi, the book, I couldn’t finish. It’s not that the story was boring, or the characters unsympathetic. It’s just I found the writing to be laborious and not engaging to me. However, the movie, is a better. Tsotsi, means “thug” in the South African town Tsotsi lives in. In the book he doesn’t remember his real name. The same is true in the movie, though if you didn’t read the book, you may not know it. He is a lost boy becoming a man. He is cruel, wound tight like copper in a dynamo and violence comes easy as breathing. When he discovers he kidnapped a child when stealing a car, his life, despite himself, begins to soften. Violence is still easy for him, but it becomes a means to an end more than himself. He needs to feed the child which has become a link to his own childhood memories and evolution into a thug. The child becomes the catalyst to his return to humanity and decency which his, and our world, lacks. |
