Water (Cultural/Spiritual Perspective)
The widows believe that this is normal and expected once their husband dies. They are expected to accept that they are no use to the world or their culture/religion anymore. Even though they are forced into this lifestyle, they still believe in their God. They still believe in some higher power that forgives and loves them more than anyone else. I think that is what is keeping the women sane. They still have hope that their lives will get better. When Chuyia entered into the women's lives, she reminded them that they do not have to accept this lifestyle and neither does she. She brings hope to some of the women and igniting their power that they forgot they had.
Sound and Music in Tsotsi
In the beginning of this movie, David and his friends were at a club/bar and two of them were arguing with each other. While all of this is going on, there is loud fun music blasting in this commotion. When David got done beating up one of his friends, the music finally stopped and the focus was on them. I found it interesting that the music stopped when it did. The music was usually upbeat and some music were slower. The music fit in with different scenes very well.

The Road Home (Symbolism)
The Road Home was a really good movie. It some parts of the movie, it reminds me of some American movies, but most of the movie had a fresh style to it. It wasn't your typical cheesy love story, it actually had many symbols of the movie to connect with the characters. It wasn't about material things, sex or money, it was truly about love.
Usually in an American movie, the two main characters that are fall are "in love" have sex before they feel a real deep connection. Which is ridiculous! Snapping back to reality, I loved that this movie captured what true love is and what it stands for.
