Tsotsi

.

I chose this camera shot from the film Tsotsi to represent emotion through sound. During this part of the film the baby becomes irritable and upset. The poor child is covered in ants and filth. Tsotsi scrambles to comfort the child by playing party music known as Kwaito. Frustrated and uncomfortable, Tsosti tries to sooth the child this way. The loud music is very alarming and definitely not the way you would want to comfort a child. He grows more frustrated when the child doesn't respond to his strategy. This scene is interesting because it conveys this troubled young mans sense of attempting compassion. It's thought provoking to consider  Tsosti's childhood and how he was neglected. In an estranged sense he seems to be caring for the child because of his poor childhood.
