Movie ReviewsA tale of friendship and more chicoer2003 | Fresno, CA United States | 10/21/2005 (4 out of 5 stars) "Wooden Box is a tale of friendship between children of different South African social classes. It's reminicent of a Brazilian slum movie, but with aspects of the ills of society (racism) A good unknown cast of young actors helps the movie." Simple film on the choices we take and the life it leads Rizzo | Denver, CO | 01/10/2009 (4 out of 5 stars) "The Wooden Camera is about the path two young teens take as a result of finding a camera and a gun. Best friends, Madiba and Sipho live in Cape Town South Africa and find the items on a dead body thrown from a train. Madiba finds the wooden camera and Sipho takes the gun. They advance into their own worlds, capturing film on video and a life of crime. Madiba is befriended by a white young rebellious teen, Estelle, who lives a world apart from the slums the boys came from. Estelle has a racist father, but she remains rebellious to that idea.
The role that the racist father exhibits seems like it just didn't fit in the film. With so little mentioned, it didn't seem important to the film. It was just too cut and dried without any development to the role pertinent to the storyline. You get a good idea of the wealthy versus the poor and the images are powerful. The film is not exactly challenging, rather more predictable, and has won a few awards. .....Rizzo " |
