"Gods must be crazy"

Way back in 1980, I read the review of a South African film “The Gods must be crazy”. It’s plot seemed novel. An empty coke bottle is thrown out of a low flying aircraft and lands among the bush men in the Kalahari desert of Africa and creates problems for the simple innocent people and so the pratagonist tries to return the coke bottle to God. ---------- Unfortunately there was no way of seeing the film as those were the days of the ugly apartheid policies of the South African government and the almost the whole world had cut off relations with S.A.---------- Well, over 30 years later, I saw this film on one of the Tv channels yesterday. It starts off like a documentary for the first few minutes and then very gradually and quite seamlessly, the plot starts unfolding. It is bit of a slap-stick action comedy with a very serious message – the simple tribals are happy as they have no possessions and have adapted themselves to the nature. On the other hand the modern civilized western man is unhappy as he has tried to change nature to his liking.---------- Don't miss the last scene of the movie where the pretty heroine of the film smiles for the first time and one gets to notice her lovely green eyes.
