South African movies, especially Afrikaans movies are sooooooooo bad
Because of all the censorship which I had terminally
longposted about, there was no competition or even great interaction between artists and filmmakers in SA, thus movies didn't have anything to compare to or learn from
Blacks and whites make extremely low grade and narratively poor movies during the 1980s period, it's just not a comparison how shockingly bad movies from that time was.
Additionally there was one corruption undercoverd in the apartheid era, where one of the scandals of the decade was that the minister of culture and arts?

In late 2000s I had an Ethiopian friend from college and he used to bring me to this Ugandan dudes house and the guy would always be playing these awful low budget movies and music videos from Uganda. My ethiopian friend who was obsessed with acting like he was better than Africans since he was a rich kid there would make fun of them for 20min straight. Good times.

they could've made a much better adaptation of Disgrace than the one they ultimately released. The book is so much better

Chappie was kind of average. Good film, not bad but just not as good as district 9. Still better than Elysium.
