After two or three days of shooting, John kept on saying, "Pull

"That's why we all got into the creative world, because we want to do stuff, and we want people in large numbers to enjoy it.

“It became very fashionable there in the 1950s; we destroyed New York, the Capitol in Washington, and the Golden Gate Bridge. Eventually I wanted to get away from the ‘monster on the loose’ picture.”

Perhaps the reason Tsotsi was noticed by spread-thin festivalgoers in the first place was that it was touted from the start as being “this year’s City of God,” although in reality, this comparison is lazy and not entirely apt.
