Slide2

Main Actions Throughout the Film

Throughout the film, Die App is a very laid back guy, he seems to do a lot of the easy tasks like distracting and keeping watch while Butcher and Tsotsi commit the crimes. He opens the bottles of beer with his teeth for the boys but doesn’t drink them. He seems to be a bit of a kiss-ass, but it seems as though he likes the way everything is.

Old Overalls which he only wears over one shoulder

Wears a white Bucket hat

Props Associated with Die App

Marijuana

in the second to last scene, symbolises that he is taking a moment to calm down. Throughout the movie you only saw Die App smoking with friends, where at the end he is just by himself, the fact that he is smoking it by himself may symbolise that he is left to stand alone and he is about to make the decision to leave Tsotsi’s gang.

Personality Traits

Cheeky-

“*laughs* 4 and 5 is 9, not 11”

Always eating

Doesn’t seem bothered by anything

More of a follower, than a gang member

Quite playful and childish in a way

Slide6

Conflict

Internal- Throughout the film it becomes obvious that Die App is struggling to decide whether he wants to stay as a part of Tsotsi’s group and kill innocent people and risk getting hurt himself or to branch off and go with

Fela

or on his own.

Slide7

Changes Throughout The Film

At the start of the film, Die App is a follower and 100% committed to being a part of Tsotsi’s gang, though doesn’t do any of the killing or hurting. After Tsotsi hurts Boston, Die App is still committed to Tsotsi and even when he sees a drawing of him in the newspaper he denies that it is him but, after Butcher is killed Die App becomes scared and wonders if it will be him that will get hurt next so he decides it is time to leave Tsotsi and stay with

Quotes

“4 and 5 is 9, not 11”

- When butcher adds the dice wrong, Boston corrects him and Die App laughs at him and says this.

“Tsotsi, what are we doing tonight?”

“Hey man, did you smell that? Smells like shit”

- When he is at Tsotsi’s house and Tsotsi is hiding the baby but tells him that he is sick, Die App says this.

“It over, brother. It’s done and finished”

- After Tsotsi

kills butcher he has had enough and wonders if he will be the next one to get hurt, so he decides it is time to leave Tsotsi.

Slide10

Relationships

Relationship with Tsotsi- Known him for a very long time and have always been together. The relationship changes over the course of the film as Die App realises that he could risk his life by being a part of Tsotsi’s gang.

Relationship with Butcher- Die App seems to be more of a follower with Butcher, as Butcher is portrayed as quite violent and unpredictable so it may be that Die App is scared of Butcher.

Slide11

Function/ Importance in the Narrative Structure

Die App is sort of a contrast to Butcher and Boston. As Butcher is violent, Boston is highly educated and Die App is happy, cheerful and brainless. Die App is a significant character during the film as he goes through an obvious change/growth and is featured quite a lot. He seem to be directed by Tsotsi throughout the film until the end.

Slide12

Themes Reflected by Die App

The theme of loyalty is quite evident in relation to Die App throughout the film as he is very loyal to Tsotsi and his gang, even though he may not agree entirely with what he is doing. He is a brother and they have always been together and this must be quite important to him and so he is loyal to

T

sotsi until he believes he may die because of it.
