Gods Must be crazy part 1 (1980). The funniest film in the 20th century.



Gods must be crazy is one of the funniest comedy films I have ever watched. It is a classic film; made in the 1980s. Yet, it has a very unique style and I have never seen anything like it, other than the 2nd part of this film. (Gods must be crazy 2).
The film is narrated around a native African man, who goes on a journey to find the edge of the world. Everything begins with a glass bottle that was thrown out of an Airplane. A native bushman found it and bring it to his clan. They believe that it is a gift from God as it was dropped down from the sky. Everything changes when this bottle causes damages to the unity of their clan. People began to quarrel over the bottle. The village elders conclude that this bottle is not a gift from God but a curse. They believe that they have to get rid of it by throwing it off the edge of the world. A man set foot on a journey to fulfill that decision. He is also the one who found this bottle. On the way to the edge of the world, the tribe man comes across many interesting characters including animals and people.
Even though this is a comedy with a simple storyline, it also delivers us a very important message. We believe that we have evolved, but in reality, we have made our lives more miserable during the process. Even a bottle can create a series of problems and make things complicated. So, think about everything we collect during our lifetime and imagine the influence of everything we use to comfort our day to day lives. Are you happy with your life? Aren't we all in a race? Who dares to escape? We have only a short time to live. So, make sure it has happily spent. 
Well! Watch this film and laugh your life out. Afterward, analyze your life and make the necessary adjustments to make it happier.
