THE GOD MUST BE CRAZY
While i saw this movie, Only one idea was strike me out. That is about culture.
Most of time on movie, they mentioned between bush man’s life and our modern culture. Most of time bush man’s life is living with nature and clean.
so, they couldn’t have a chance to get either some technical life. in the movie,
when airplane is cross over the bush man’s town, Pilot throw away one bottle of coke. and one of the bush man took the bottle and start making more useful to them. which means, they start begin to using more technical tools for them. But, as times ago, they starts looking that tools every time and arguing each other. it is examples of how takers doing it. when takers got a power and wealth, most of time they fighting or arguing each other. because, they always thinks themselves. Now, as we can notice, bush man’s life didn’t use those of tools and one of the bush man thought this tool is not great tools for them, and he thinks that tool must far away from their society. So, the time’s ago, he leaves their town for throw away a Coke bottle. while he trip he saw lots of things. Animals, environment. nature etc. But, most huge thing was different society. His experiences of new society is starts with hunting animals in National Park. He hunts a something to eat, but one little kid saw that and the kid says like bush man did wrong and called cops. but, the bush man still didn’t understand why they keep saying bush man did wrong on it and the cops arrested him into jail. But the bush man still couldn’t understand why he did wrong. This is when the bush man entered the Takers’ world. He saw all kind of civilized things such as cars, guns…etc. Even though he entered the Takers world, he still lives like a Leaver. as we can see the most sadness? parts when bush man and scientist and his friends are saying good bye to each other, He gave a money to bush man but he still don’t know how to use that. but he leaves with money but while he walking back to his town, he throw money. because, he had a hard experiences on that. that’s why he still lives like a leavers.
While i watch this movie, most of time i felt some explain from “Ishmael” about the culture and Takers, Levers' life. Takers as people often referred to as "civilized." Particularly, the culture born in an Agricultural Revolution that began about 10,000 years ago in the Near East; the culture of Ishmael's pupil. Leavers as people of all other cultures; sometimes referred to as "primitive." and A story as an interrelation between the gods, man, and the Earth, with a beginning, middle, and end.
Ishmael goes on to point out that by living in the hands of the gods, man is subject to the conditions under which evolution takes place. Australopithecus became Homo by living in the hands of the gods-- Man became man by living in the hands of the gods-- "by living the way the bush men of Africa live; by living the way the Krenakarore of Brazil live... Not the way the Chicagoans live, not the way Londoners live." "In the hands of the gods is where evolution happens." According to the Takers' story, creation came to an end with man. "In order to make their story come true, the Takers have to put an end to creation itself-- and they're doing a damn good job of it”
Mother culture teaches that, before the revolution, human life was devoid of meaning,was stupid, empty and worthless. pre-Revolutionary life was ugly.(From ch.11). and the book says the Leavers would, Throughout history, the only way the Takers have found to tear them away from that life is by brute force, by wholesale slaughter. In most cases, they found it easiest just to exterminate them.
So, this is what i found some connections while i watch the movie.
