The Gods Must Be Crazy


The Gods Must Be Crazy is a 1980 film, written and directed by Jamie Uys. The film consists of three separate stories, but my favorite part is about Bushman.Bushmen relatives live in the Kalahari Desert. They are happy because the gods have provided plenty of everything, and no one in the tribe has unfulfilled wants. They live together in peace without gins, money even calendar. One day, a glass Coke bottle is thrown out of an airplane and falls to earth unbroken. Initially, this strange artifact seems to be another boon from the gods. At first, they find many uses for it, but there is only one bottle for all. And they soon find themselves experiencing things they never had before: jealousy, anger, hatred, even violence.What do you think about this glass Coke? Which symbol is it?
