Review of The Wooden Camera (2003) by Eve T — 08 Mar 2008
Interesting movie.
Occasionally cute, occasionally sad.
It follows two boys and a girl around, to backdrop of modernizing and still more or less openly racist and discriminating society.
We get to see friendship growing between kids from different backgrounds, consequences of some of their choices, different life and opportunities for people from different backgrounds, etc.
It is refreshing to see a movie about South Africa that is for once not from tourist/safari point of view, but instead shows a more realistic side of life for both poor and rich, privileged and discriminated people there.
About synopsis:
Hmm... didn't know that telling synopsis would include telling the full story including the end.
People who haven't seen this movie must be thankful for it.;).
Making difference between "black" and "white" is part of racism as well. Yes, lot of people do it, but does it make it more "right", or less racism?
