Tsotsi is a South African film about a young boy who must learn to overcome the hardships of his past to become a better person. Although he is a very dark individual, he shows a certain innocence that the audience can connect with. After unintentionally committing a crime that stresses his morals beyond their breaking point, we find Tsotsi having to go through a period of self reflection and doubt while he decides on what to do next.I enjoyed this film, although it is certainly dark and depressing. The main character's upbringing is just an example of the type of living condition that many children in this area are experiencing, starkly contrasting the rich homeowners in the suburbs of Johannesburg. This movie shows that no matter where one is in their life, regardless of the things they have done, they still have the chance to do better. Although it may not make up for past actions, it can be liberating and fulfilling to know that you can change your ways and become a decent human being.
