The Gods Must Be Crazy is a 1980 comedy film written, produced, edited and directed by Jamie Uys. An international co-production of South Africa and Botswana, it is the first film in The Gods Must Be Crazy series. Set in Southern Africa, the film stars Namibian San farmer Nxau Toma as Xi, a hunter-gatherer of the Kalahari Desert whose tribe discovers a glass Coca-Cola bottle dropped from an aeroplane, and believe it to be a gift from their gods. When Xi sets out to return the bottle to the gods, his journey becomes intertwined with that of a biologist (Marius Weyers), a newly hired village school teacher (Sandra Prinsloo), and a band of guerrilla terrorists.

Both New York Times critic Vincent Canby and author Josef Gugler called the film "patronizing" towards the San people.[28][8] Canby wrote that the San in the film "are seen to be frightfully quaint if not downright cute", and compared the film's narrator's statement that the San "must be the most contented people in the world" to "exactly the sort of thing that Mussolini might have said when he got those trains running on time".[28] Gugler considered both the film's narrator and the character of Mpudi condescending, writing that "even if Mpudi feels for the San people, he is just as patronizing as the narrator: 'They are the sweetest little buggers'".[8] In response to accusations of patronization, Uys said that "I don't think the film is patronizing. When the Bushman is with us in the city, I do patronize him, because he's stupid. But in the desert, he patronizes me, because I'm stupid and he's brilliant".[3]

Gugler wrote that the guerrillas in the film are depicted as "bad Africans [...] dangerous and destructive all right, but they are also indolent and inept. In the end, even Kate Thompson gets to disarm one of them. Their leader, Sam Boga, articulates what the film is showing us about African guerrillas: 'Why do I have to work with amateurs?' He, in turn, serves to confirm the apartheid credo that Africans would be happy with the White dispensation were it not for foreigners fomenting discontent and making trouble".[8] Gugler goes on to state that Uys "[perpetuates] the myths of apartheid: an ordered world with Whites on top, a world where Africans are content but for the interference of outsiders".[8]

This introduction then crosses over to a satirical description of civilized man, who has named certain days on which to do certain tasks at certain times. He sends his children away to learn how to survive in this man-created society, while struggling to make enough money and living totally outside nature. Often, the result of civilization is that people become quite mad. A reporter from Johannesburg, Kate Thompson, played by Sandra Prinsloo, decides to quit her career and teach at a school in Botswana after her co-worker asks her, "Does the noise in my head bother you?" The star of the movie, Xi, discovers a Coca Cola bottle, which he believes has been dropped by the gods. At first, the bottle is useful to Xi and his family, but soon one bottle is not enough and fighting erupts, bringing much shame upon them. At the campfire, Xi expresses that the gods must have made a mistake. He undertakes to venture to the end of the earth the following morning, in order to explain to the gods that the Coca Cola bottle has only brought pain and malice to his family. 2351a5e196
