Response to Tsotsi Focusing on Sound and Music


In Tsotsi, I found music being played against the norm. Like the music would be fast when the scene is a slow pace. Or the music could be a lot of beat and makes the scene too complex and overwhelming. A scene I could think of would be when Tsotsi and his group of friend stabbed a man in the subway just to steal his money. The music being played just didn't match what was going on. Another example of this would be after this scene they were at a bar frustrated with what just happened on the subway. The music was kind of like a samba. It just doesn't make sense for that kind of music being played with all the frustration and tension going on.
