This is a beautiful start and yes there’s a lot of improvement from a technical point of view but Nze, this is gooooood. Ya ga zie!
Let me camp here for now
I really enjoyed this project and feel very proud.
2hr 33min well spent…
FIRST AND FOREMOST: Ifedi Michael (Anayo) truly deserved the spot on right side of the movie poster. He was the "wow factor" that kept me at the edge of my seat with his mischievous ways.
KEY HIGHLIGHTS
2:23 – 3:50 Anayo stealing foods meant for the gods.
26:32 – 29:16 Anayo handling a confrontation from his girlfriend's husband in the presence of his wife and standing his ground.
33:26 – 34:45 Anayo insisting that the forest should be sold, if that is what would bring about development to the community.
1:51:48 – 1:53:41 Anayo's attempt at transitioning from a hedonistic riff-raff to a responsible Ozo title Chief was epic.
2:05:32 – 2:07:22 Anayo started treating his customers right and even worked for free in order to compensate for loss time.
2:10:28 – 2:11:10 Anayo stopped stealing the foods meant for the gods.
2:13:43 – 2:16:22 His bravery for asking Eze Etigbo about how he got the info from the gods to sell off the forest.
2:27:46 2:29:30 Anayo confronting Eze Etigbo in the shrine and demonstrating that he also could commune with the gods.
2:21:12 – 2:23:58 Anayo's wife couldn't believe how Anayo had turned a new leaf. She also supported his ambition to get the Ozo title, if that would make him to continue in his new peaceful and respectful way.
OTHER HIGHLIGHTS:
1:58:58 That soft kiss between Mike and Echedime was much needed after all the back and forth frustration from both families.
2:16:31 – 2:19:26 Both mother-inlaws slugging it out in a war of words.
2:32:50 Echedime truly deserved the spotlight in this movie. She held unto her ancestral tradition, from beginning till the end.
WHAT I'VE LEARNED:
– A headless family breeds confusion and anarchy.
– Embracing the "new way" doesn't mean foresaking one's ancestral heritage. It means knowing how to adapt to the changes in human civilization whilst remaining true to one's ancestral heritage.
P.S: It's amazing that a primary cast of 14 people could produce such an engaging 2hr 33min movie.
Kudos, Eze Ikolomuo!
I observed something crutical in this movie – Echidime's role as the caretaker of her ancestral heritage even when all seemed to have fallen apart and her father's belief started wavering due to depression from the loss of his son.
It is quite unfortunte today that igbo young ladies in Lagos who ought to be the Echidimes of our time are mostly spending countless hours dancing away their lives on TikTok and engaging in other social media frivolities.
The supportive role of women in safeguarding our ancestral heritage has been greatly damaged, from years pf colonial and religious indoctrinations.
Most igbo married women are now fanatics church attenders while others are living carefree.
There is still hope though, as there are a few Echidimes who are still holding unto their ancestral heritage in Lagos even in the midst of the cultural madness that we are steeped in at the moment.
Please, is pig meat a taboo meat in igbo land
