God Calling

As He is my witness, I was guided to view this awesome movie yesterday. Even though I was looking for a movie for distraction, I was compelled to watch this extraordinarily crafted movie yesterday. It fell in line perfectly with the personal spiritual search I've been on lately. During the time I watched, answer after answer to so many questions came to me. I'm still astounded.

Watch this, please, with an open mind.

Truly, I went into the movie not really expecting much but I was pleasantly surprise. There are some scenes i am yet to recover from. Beautiful piece of work, stuff that classics are made of. I am really going to see it again!

I knew about this movie in 2018 but didn't watch it. I somehow stumbled upon it few days ago from 22 Dec, 2020 and started glued to it. It was a 2hours movie that I rather shouldn't call entertainment but a moment of empowerment. If I was having doubts, my conviction got better... I was able to connect with the movie because obviously, I have experienced a touch of God before.

I say "yes" again to God's call.

There are some movies you know are going to be great just from watching the trailers and this was the case with God Calling.

So many layers included that placed God Calling above and beyond the typical faith-based stories seen in the past.

The fact that the screenplay touched on drug use from a rich woman's perspective (i.e. Sade) was quite unique! Then, we had the inter-ethnic relationship which ignited father-son tensions, and the theme of depression was treated with so much depth, we were amazed as this is ground-breaking in Nollywood😃

Impressive lessons learnt. The emotional and powerful lines delivered touched our souls, brilliant...

A big shout out to Diana Egwuatu, Seun Ajayi n Karibi Fubara!

Teeny weeny issues included the audio which wasn't quite perfected; some scene sequences were incomplete and the cinematography could have been better refined.

Nonetheless, these can be overlooked!

The lack of detail was odd in the movie. Like when the guitar is delivered in a small longer box but the box is much smaller than the guitar and how are they using the state of Virginia license plates in Lagos, Nigeria? Sades comes to the house after being in water but her clothes look completely dry. She cries mascara tears constantly,,,after just waking up, after swimming under water...you name it. She had to be constantly applying mascara. This movie is not for anyone with an eye for detail. It will drive you crazy. There is a lot of over-acting in this movie, as well. I wanted to like it, but didn't.
