The Gods Must Be Crazy

The Gods Must Be Crazy Trailer

From Wikipedia ..


Xi and his tribe of Bushmen relatives are "living well off the land" in the Kalahari Desert. They are happy because the gods have provided plenty of everything, and no one in the tribe has unfulfilled wants. One day, a glass bottle is thrown out of an airplane and falls to earth unbroken. Initially, this strange artifact seems to be another "present" from the gods — Xi's people find many uses for it. But unlike anything that they have had before, there is only one glass bottle to go around. This exposes the tribe to a hitherto unknown phenomenon, property, and they soon find themselves experiencing things they never had before: jealousy, envy, anger, hatred, and even violence.

Since it has caused the tribe unhappiness on two occasions, Xi decides that the glass bottle is an evil thing and must be thrown off of the edge of the world. He sets out alone on his quest and encounters Western civilization for the first time. The film presents an interpretation of civilization as viewed through Xi's perceptions.

The Gods Must Be Crazy

Amazingly funny movie.  The audience where I saw this film laughed harder than any I have ever seen since.  The social commentary is very insightful - and who knew Land Rovers could climb trees?

The follow-up, "The Gods Must Be Crazy II", ain't half bad.  I loved the scene where the pilot gets tethered to a tree and must fly helplessly in a circle until he runs out of rope.  It was very like watching Wile E. Coyote working inexorably toward catastrophic failure.

I recommend them both to any members who have never seen them.

For me, everything that Family Guy's Seth MacFarlane does is hilarious. And to boot he's a tremendous singer of great old Amercian songs -- here's a clip from his concert...Seth MacFarlane - The Sadder But Wiser Girl
