CineTV Contest: Fame And Fury (The Hidden Gem).
Sometimes, I feel people miss a lot because of a few things they are yet to find out about just like Fame and fury. Fame and fury is a Nigerian based movie produced by the A3 productions and staring big actors like Bimbo Ademoye, Etim Effiong and other big casts. I only wish the world could watch this great masterpiece.
Right now, Fame and fury remains my favorite hidden gem movie.
What do I love about the movie?
I love everything. The cast, storyline, suspense and even the theme of the movie. Fame and fury is about a young lady and actress known as Daberechi. She’s really beautiful that any guy would want to have her as his girlfriend.
She’s a girlfriend of Deolu, a big Nigerian business mogul but Deolu doesn’t want his girlfriend to be an actress. He doesn’t want the online lifestyle for her. He gifts her cars, wigs, jewelries and everything a woman could ever wish for but Daberechi wants to follow her career path. In the end, they broke up because they weren’t getting things right.
After a short time, Daberechi met Paul. An aspiring actor who only gets little gigs but the two became intimate and fell in love. Through Daberechi, Paul started getting more jobs. Paul couldn’t afford his lifestyle and began to take money from Daberechi. He goes as far as hitting her whenever she asks for her money or confronts him. He took her jobs and did a lot of evil things behind her.
Eventually, he was filmed while hitting Daberechi and that became the end of his career because he was arrested and jailed.
Imagine this great piece. Why won’t I love the storyline? I also love it because it resonates with the things happening in our society. Yeah, there may be so many people in her shoes thinking of where to fall into when they are facing problems like that. I love this hidden gem movie because it isn’t just a movie but a way to help you brainstorm and think that if it was you, what would you do?
The part of the movie which I find interesting was when Paul started becoming a beast. He came into Daberechi’s life like a saint but suddenly, he became someome different from who she knew. I liked that part because I was able to reasonate with it. That’s life. When people get what they want from you, they begin to misbehave.
Only a few people act right after they get what they want from you.
A scene that pops into my mind?
The scene where Paul met Daberechi. He was startled. He was so happy to meet a star. He cared for her and respected her so much and then the scene where he raised his hands to hit her.
It’s just like from that to this. It was awkward and these two scens pops into my mind all the time.
Peformance that left an impression?
These three characters are not the only characters in the movie but they all did a good job. Bimbo Ademoye, Etim Effiong and Uzor Arukwe. They all were the perfect people to play that role. I think the director did so well by casting them in that movie. Great job!

Why do I think this movie is great?
I know movies deal with real life issues but this is very different. This movie leaves a question for everyone asking what they all will do if they are in the shoes of Daberechi. If it was you, what would you do?
Rating this movie, I’d give it a 9/10.
It’s a masterpiece!
Thanks so much
You're welcome
When it comes to acting, Bimbo never misses. I've seen films of the other male characters in the film, but you can be guaranteed that the film will shine because of Bimbo's presence alone. Nicely done.
Yeah
We can never deny the fact that she’s a good actress
The moment I saw the banner I already knew love was involved and was waiting to see heartbreak, unfair treatment etc.🙂 I'm glad I wasn't disappointed. Someone walking in as a saint and turning gradually to a beast🤔🤔Love stories or romance can be quite dicey even in reality.. Nice post well done 👍👍
