yesterday a a movie and be hard to rate . the cinematography be excellent and deserve a positive . the story be gritty and real and do not compromise . but the translation of the story to the screen through the actor do not match the camera work . a a person who be bear and raise in central africa and i appreciate the authenticity of the film look and the honest depiction of daily life for the zulu . but this and the camera work be not enough to recommend the average viewer should see this film . it take an appreciation of true cinema and not just a love of movie to see the purpose and strength of yesterday . unlike the 1980 film the god must be crazy and which be a comic look at one african culture encounter modern technology and yesterday have no intention of appeal to any crossover audience . the movie simply be not fit for the common western mind and i doubt it be intend for the western mind . the scene be long and slow and the editing be not pace for a 60mph plus instant gratification world . the dialog be not cleaver or witty and it be real . movie about health crisis do not make the best entertainment and this movie be not entertainment and it be education . this movie be best view by those who know and appreciate and love the way of life and the culture in sub sarah africa . if you lack a broad enough world view to understand other culture and especially african culture and should skip this film . do not waste you time with it . go see talladega night or larry the cable guy instead for your cross culture view . i give it a 4 for most who might want to see the movie but have no accurate understanding of african culture . for the viewer with an appreciation for film about the human experience anywhere in the world and i would give it a 7 .
