Hi everyone! Hope you are all doing good today. See, that you are able to pick your phone or system to surf the net at this time is a great gift and privilege form God. I say this with a deep sense of understanding of what i am talking about and deep sense of gratitude for health and life. I fall sick during the course of last week and it wasn't a good experience. I just thank the Lord for being here right now.
Ok, so i watched a couple of movies on iroko tv while on my sick bed and i watched this one that totally blew my mind. The movie is titled Sinking Sands.
See, from the story to the production, to the acting, costume and every little detail of the movie, is on point. Watching it, i mistook it for an African American movie;well, maybe because the lead actor is Jimmy Jean-Louis, the guy from Monique's Phat Girls and the clarity of the pictures and subtle acting, but after watching it, i checked and found out that the movie was directed by a young Ghanian film maker named Leila Djansi and aside Jimmy Jean-Loius, every other actor is African.
The movie is the tragic story of an orphan girl, who married a man that loved her so much up till two weeks of their wedding when an accident occurs in the kitchen leaving the husband burnt and scared. He soon changes from the good, loving man that he was to an abusive, brutal and unforgiving man who wallows in self pity and finds pleasure in beating and sexually abusing his wife. Pabi, his wife, initially ditched her dream of becoming a school principal to stay and try make him happy and make her marriage work, but she soon finds out that her husband will never change and if she continues staying, he would killing her, so she leaves him to find herself and live again.
Its a very good(though sad) story with lots of lessons and i think every one should watch it. Plus if Africa keeps churning out movies like this, trust me we are headed for the Grammy...You can watch the movie on www.irokotv.com and tell me what you think, okay.
Well, that's what i wanted to share with you today. So, as you go out there to make the best of the week, don't forget to always thank God for life and health. Take care.
