Breath of life.
The movie I want to share with you all is a very interesting ànd inspirational movie. A Production of Amazon MGM Studios, released on the 15th of November 2023, this movie will keep you glued to your screen.
The movie starrs actors Wale Ojo and Chimezie Imo as the main protagonist while Sam Dede served as the major antagonist.
The movie is titled Breath of life, a catchy phrase that leaves one wondering about what it entails.
Snippet of the movie
The movie began as a narration of Timi's life by Elijah who was now Timi Johnson's adopted son. Apparently, he wanted to share with all who cared to listen, about his adoptive father's accolades and achievements from his youth.
He also narrated how he came to know Timi Johnson and served as his "house manager" or should I say "house boy". He was obviously the only one who could tolerate the aggressive and insolent nature of Timi Johnson but he received backlash from his master when he was caught trying to revive the church.. something that was an absolute taboo to Mr Timi. You can't blame Timi Johnson unless you have passed through his kindo of loss. Right before his eyes, his family was burnt alive and he was helpless to save them. "He held a grudge against God".
To sweeten the plot, he fell in love with a beautiful damsel whose father was hell-bent on demolishing the church to build a hotel... something that Elijah did not want because he felt called to ministry.
Did faith prevail against the antics of greed and indifference? This is for you to find out.
My review
I liked the fact that the movie intended to awe it's viewers by exaggerating certain points. For instance, they claimed Timi could hold his breath under water for 57min g and 18secs.. really??
Also the infusion of both British and Nigeria scenes gave the movie a homey ambience. The play of words also served as a comic relief and it wasn't forced which is a breath of fresh air from the usuals.
The move from a recluse to rediscovery by Timi Johnson was quite touching, coupled with his enormous sacrifice to Elijah made the movie endearing.
This is a movie about loss, grief, anger, faith and purpose. An ideal watch for the weekend.
