Tsotsi

Tsotsi means thug and that is the life that he is living. After shooting a woman who tries to stop him from stealing her car he finds out she was desperately trying to protect her baby, who is in the back seat. Tsotsi's life has led him to contain a lot of anger and he doesn't know right from wrong. He is uneducated and lives in a town ship. As he attempts to look after the child this all changes. This is all done marvelously. There is no overnight transformation that would appear unrealistic. Even when he tries to do the right thing he is still incredibly flawed in how he does it. Overall this movie is a piece of excellence in film making and the personal journey of its character.
