Dreamer (2005). 7/10.


A feel-good family movie that teaches family bond and values, patience and perseverance.

At losprince & abduleez1, you see, any movie hinting "female empowerment, what the men can do, the female folks can do better" message, is very much hyped & sells like wild fire.

I don't know about other tribes, but as for the Igbos, you not having a male heir is akin to you not having a kid at all. Most Igbo men no matter how educated, reverence male kids to their female counterparts.

So Genevieve tries to counter that notion & mentality. She projects the females as strong, ambitious go getters like their male counterparts, and that all they need is the exposure & opportunity. Invariably, the moral of the story is that females are as important as their male counterparts.

Trust me, if the movie had been done in our 100% indigenous language, it would have been very much recognized by the Oscars, not saying it's going to win though.
I would say the female empowerment push was done in a brilliant way, it was subtle and wasn't shoved to the viewers face. In the family, Ada is the first child and went along with her father to the business from a very young age while the brother apparently was the mother's sidekick and choose a career in music, you can also note the father's disappointment with the son all through the movie, so it stands to reason that he groomed Ada for that role.

If she had used mostly Igbo for the film, then the Oscars being ever so woke might have patted her on the thighs with a nomination. But winning will be very far from it.

1917 (2019; Hollywood)

With very few cast, this pictures brilliantly delivered its message loud and clear. Both messengers were superb in their acting and the war ravaged places settings were fantastic. No wonder the movie got love at the awards.

9.5/10

Using Igbo all through isn't a problem.

The issue was not featuring indigenous language mostly in the film.

The requirements was featuring Indigenous languages more than 50% in a film over English.

The comedy was too forced for me, especially AY, it got cringe at times...the pacing was trash and the story was another cliché Nollywood story, I don't see the growth bruh..
