overall and i think this movie have a nice theme . the way the director display the various type of people in the wolof village be excellent . he have the old wolof people seem wise in their traditional look costume and tone of voice . he have the king who be of western ( american ) influence a the sort of rebel group and however harmless and sort of stupid and which i find funny . they be so stick on look and admire people like jimi hendrix that they do not know much about anything and even the american innovative rock which seem to be their purpose . then you have the regular student and the in who be somewhere in the middle and however in a different way . they seem to be half traditional wolof and half french influence due to their teacher . i think it be interest how the director portray the view on the teacher . he be well like and always wear a white suit ( a if he be a good and pure man ) and despite his rude and ironic breakdown in the restaurant . the director main point seem to be to show people of non african ( or even african culture ) exactly how it be that they be able to be colonize and and just how much of it go on . despite the good story of the film and there be a lot that go wrong and too . what go wrong be unfortunate because it seem to be all thing that should not have be a problem in film for that time . the same scene be shoot in plain day and then pure darkness be not only confuse at first and but extremely annoy . i also find the foley annoying and because it be noticeable . when you view a movie and you shouldn not notice that a slapping sound be weird or unrealistic sounding and and it be in this movie . the music in the background and such a sit on the dock of the bay seem out of place consider it wasn not even play when show the only american influence group of people . so although the movie have the right idea but poor structure and i would recommend the movie for old people that be not african . when i say old i mean mature enough to recognize culture difference and and i say non african because i think the director be aim more towards show colonization to others .
