African people didn’t believe technology and education. African bushmen who were living in deserts, accidentally found a bottle that was from a plane that was going to somewhere who they suddenly threw out it. Africans didn’t know what the bottle was and they didn’t even know what was the way of using it. They thought the bottle was really interesting, so they started playing with it. For example, one of them took the bottle and threw it up on the air. While the bottle came it back down, it hit a kid's head and he probably died. They also saw rubbers who had guns that killed people and rubbed money from grocery stores, and petrol from gas stations, and their kids from them . Rubbers killed people because they needed food, and money. they didn’t know the right way of using gun,and also what something was wrong or right. Their government wanted people to have education. They sent a white woman to teach the children, but thieves rubbed their kids because they needed food.When Africans saw what the rubbers were doing, they decided to stay their simple life and wanted to stay like before. They thought that technology was something wrong. They believed that there wasn't going to be a comfortable and simple life with technology. Finally, They didn't want money, and also they threw the bottle that they had found in to the sea because they didn’t want technology and education.
In my opinion, this movie was one of the greatest movie that I've ever seen in my whole life. Even though technology, education, and environment makes the Africans life style easier, they didn't want to have the easy life style.
In conclusion, they didn’t believe education and technology because they knew that if people get education and technology, it can change people’s life style. However, they believed that technology is not good for their life and it would get their happiness and comfortable away from them. Therefore, they decided to stay like that, and they prefered their simple life to the new life.
