Tsotsi - review:

'Tsotsi' is about a teenage, gangster criminal known as Tsotsi (Presley Chweneyagae). His violent gang nature and associations come into play when he gets into a fight with Boston, a fellow gang member (Mothusi Magano). His intentions are clear and fights with Boston, then runs off into the night. when seizing the chance to steal a automobile and shooting the driver. He realizes the driver's baby is within the back. He takes the baby back to his house in an isolated territorial division, where he is safe to keep the baby in safe hands, simply outside city. The baby sort of has made things worse as the story progresses, as he is values the child more, so being more protective, hence more violent in respect of rough areas that they live in.

Music used in the film helped really suture the audience, especially during fight scenes, or after or before. Storyline wise, realism of the plot was something that some of the audience could really relate to, and the director (Gavin Hood) definitely has reached out to people emotionally, and that is what makes the film so significant and remarkable. Each character showed struggles and what they have and don't have, examples such as scenes with homeless children in front of a background of skyscrapers and Time Square-like lights with BMWs and Mercedes cars bring to attention the cruelty and the unfairness of everyday life for the poor. It really shows how the roots of gang life can occur in a person, showing that it is not a choice, but a reason to survive. 

Cinematography wise, locations have been chosen to be very authentic, ultimately adding to the realism of the film and supports its connection with the audience. The color corrections used also help emphasize the emotions created, colors are very yellowish, but they look genuine, just like in real life.
