The God's Must Be Crazy

I feel this is a perfect example of perspective in film. Some people would say that the bushman is an uncivilized person. The movie even states that fact. Who is to say who is civilized or not? From the stand point of the technologically advanced the bushman would be uncivilized, but from where he comes from he is completely normal. I believe that it is the perspective that creates the idea of being uncivilized in this film. The writers and director rely very much on this idea. I believe that the idea of a “civilized world” was created by a “civilized world”. The bushman had no since of civilization. The coke bottle was the first artifact of civilization he had ever scene. As far as he knows the “civilization” that he found is a bad thing that only brings him and his family trouble. Some could say that complication from civilization is what causes trouble in the world. Maybe we should be more like the bushman, and should depended more on family, friendship, and those relationships. Maybe then we will reach a different type of “civilization”. And it will be a type with kindness, love, and joy.
