đŹI originally intended to just post with a caption of at most âThis is highly recommendedâ.
Or how do you begin to put into words a carefully thought out story borne out of Nigeriaâs movie industry, without spoiling it for those yet to watch?
đżBreath of Life is a feel good movie that tells the story of life and its purpose through a former Reverend, Mr Timi, as narrated by his house manager, Elijah. We get to see how a religious man could have it all in one minute, and get to live with the consequences of his decision the next. Itâs a story like no other.
đIn its first few minutes, I had to pause briefly to be sure I had the correct movie playing.
The narration was impressive, you can tell that everyone who worked on and in this movie did so with clarity and intentionality. It reminded me of the thought that went into the 2022 Nollywood movie, 4-4-44 (also on prime video and which you should watch, if you havenât by the way).
From the initial futuristic scene to Mr Timi, his little daughterâs carefreeness, location, to the onscreen chemistry. Iâm not a pro movie critic, but this is a movie loverâs delight to watch.
The thought process that went into Mr Timiâs story and the unconventional way they tied this to Faith already made the story a good one. Then they made sure everyoneâs acting and delivery was a 1000% âŠâșïž.
I could spend the entire day talking about how good this movie is. Itâs like the writer/director, BB Sasore, built on his other movie, God Calling and swore to make this one even better. I hope and pray he gets his moneyâs worth off it.
Weldone to the cast and crew and to @primevideonaija for giving us such a beautiful story.
đ€Ignorable, but still⊠What I did not understand is why the scene of Chief Amarchree being in the church did not come before that of Elijah meeting him in his home. Because Elijahâs expression when he met the Chief in his home was that of someone whoâd already seen him before, and their brief exchange of words would confirm that.
đđŸIt really doesnât matter anyway, it still is a beautiful story and an even more impeccable delivery.
