Saturday….
A day of darker descent than yesterday, Saturday started of slowly but gently, like a lovers nibble on the ear good morning. Those jaws turned quickly to hyenas as I was forced to laugh at myself and the way the universe always has a bigger plan.
I'd plann'd to complete my video submission for the www.mobstar.co.za competition long ago. So there I am, and it’s a quarter-to-five and I'm still editing the second clip, and I'm meant to be in the projector's booth from 6-10 and the competition closes tonight, and I've got to throw my coin in t roll round the wishing well at least once. A blur of cuts, voice-takes, sending failed, and whoops of delight, as the bum made it to the seat for Bunny Chow.
Essentially the tale of three stand-up comedians that leave lovers and enemies behind to travel to a performance at Oppikoppi. A road trip with funny characters, hilarious events and a well-known bunch of actors, this movie clearly suffers from the cut-n-past mistakes of drawing in too much culture, and not exposing enough of what is there. The storyline was loosely setup for a quick string draw, but the directors lost their grip and frayed ends of a half-baked storyline appeared. [For the random character picked up by the three; insert Jon Depp's Hunter S character with the stranger they pick up at the beginning of Fear & Loathing.] Of all the situations the team could have faced and addressed in the little town scene, the one chosen shows the level of scripting involved. Something serious could have been developed through a conversation later in the movie referencing or commenting on it, tho it did serve to push the unlikedness of some characters, and the general theme of betrayal and deception. Sure, overall, the movie was funny, the Old Boy reference was enjoyed and the camera work, angles and tones were great!, wet it turn'd out to be a soggy chow.
Sunday..funday..and every1 was having fun sumwere else. Quiet nights at Kwacinema , Shooting Ghosts looked like Screening 2ghosts. The behind the scenes look at the shooting of a movie delved heavily into the production landscape, showing the real edginess that some shots take. The section of Ghosts with a submerged vehicle really was a near-death experience for the filming crew and actors, as the shots revealed broken sets.
Mahaleo was an inspirational tale of four musicians who play in a band, and how their daily lives intertwine. Social commentary and a great deal of culture was slipped through the content.
And that was how the KwaDiff007 rolled end credits, title sequence, cut.
