Ca Twiste a Popenguine is directed by Moussa Sene Absa. The film was directed in Senegal in 1993. The genre in the film is comedy. The main characters in the movie are just locals from Senegal where the movie was filmed. The major character is Baac whom the story is told by. In addition, the Ins and Kings are main groups in the film. The film takes place weeks before Christmas in a small seaside town in Senegal in 1964. The entire movie is based around the teenagers where they go to school, work, and try to put together a party. During the school the teens are forbidden to talk in Wolof (their main language) because in this era French is what is being taught and forced. Baac is the main story teller of the film where he takes love letters and runs other errands for the older teens. During the film the Ins whom have the ladies want to throw a surprise party, but have no record player. In the end when everything is going good they get into trouble by the older tradition that still follow the old African culture. The message Moussa Sene Absa is trying to push is the coming of age. The point of the story is to show the coming-of-age through the use of the teenagers in the village. For instance, the story shows two different African cultures through the old generation who follow the traditional and the young teens that follow the new era. He wants to show how the future is in the teens hands. In addition, why beat someone for being different for that is why we have diversity and what keeps the world unique. I would recommend this film for someone interested in Senegal or the non-western point of view. However, I would not recommend it if you do not like captions because the entire movie is in captions.
