    This man makes my childhood memorable. Why is he still poor and not even living in at least a concrete house? 😢

    Wow so Sad to see him like this, he’s still living in good health God takes care of his own. He deserves better pay for his role in that Movie The gods must be crazy.

    It is sad to see that much of Africa is still so poor. This movie made my childhood in Vietnam very happy. We were equally poor in the 90s, but now Vietnam is developing so fast and we no longer see real poverty. We export a lot, we have jobs and a better life for everyone, but Africa seems to be the same in the 90s.
