Material (2012)
When was the first time you experienced something for the first time
Guys, sorry to say – You might have produced the movie but its owned by us South African's, you know that feeling: its like when we hosted the Soccer World Cup, when we won the Rugby World Cups and when the Proteas recently batted those caps black in NZ. Its a good feeling, a proud one.
I think, ask anyone who has watched the movie, describe their emotions and feelings and their response would somewhat be the same as mine.
About 7 years ago HSBC ran an advert that concluded: When was the last time you did something for the first time? Or in this case experienced something for the first time ?
For me, I watched the movie MATERIAL – I now believe we can produce premium movies and that we are blessed with actors that are so talented – for example nobody else could play Cassim other than Riaad, just like Green Goblin played by Willem Dafoe, Spiderman. And of course for the first time, a story had been told of an Indian community that was not slapstick.
