Why did they ban you? Because of the accusation? If so, then I think you need to post those evidences there to clean up your muddied image/misconception about you and by so doing prevent future occurence.

Like seriously. I'm surprised no one raised an eyebrow at the physical violence inflicted.
It's a damn shame reading the support of physical violence from some people on this thread over 200# eggs. Guaranteed that the lady was wrong, but to slap a grown woman over 4 eggs? It's preposterous. I'd have been mad over her action of disrespect and wastefulness, but I'd never have slapped her. If I can't stomach her act, I'll end the relationship. If people can't manage their anger over things like this, they have no business being in a relationship. I've said it over and over, if you can't stomach the bad attitude of your lover, quit the relationship. Relationship is not by force.

This is how physical abuse starts. It's these little signs that people ignore which grows into an undefeatable monster. A lot of people need anger management in Nigeria.

He Slapped his girlfriend just because she wasted food out of anger!

What will have happened if it were something bigger than food?

Or if they were actually married?

So he would continue to assault her under the guise of correcting her mistakes like an apprentice under his tutelage.

She is not his daughter that needs correction, she is an adult, so if she has a terrible attitude, i believe he should have just ended the relationship.

I don't support the physical assault of anyone

This is how most abusive relationships start. The man or woman doing the abusing will continue to make excuses for their actions.
Best comment on this thread.

There's no diff, a creator is capable of creating fully human characters(cartoon characters dat feel fully human) nd cartoons have bin used numerous types to elicit emotion effectively. Its all about creating a world dat u can fully relate to as a human being nd den u myt evn forget u're watching an animation.

As a case in point, d animation grave of the fireflies has been hailed as one of d sadest movies ever(yh, including live action movies)
I haven't watched the animation, but in all my years of watching animations, none comes close to the emotions displayed by humans and not cartoon characters.

False. Watch grave of the fireflies, an anime movie. Animation or life action does not affect the message a movie tries to portray, unless you're the type dat blivs animation are for kids only nd cannot effectively portray adult themes. If u're lyk dat pls indicate
I'm not. I'm not a kid and I watch animations. Old men with grandchildren do watch animations. But the fact is, while the message is not affected in animations, you can't compare the emotions from a human, the outpouring of tears, sadness and anguish that'd be displayed by a human to that of a cartoon character. There must be a difference.

I really don't care about the other parameters, darling. That's why I gave it my highest rating ever
Angelina Jolie would've pulled off a masterpiece if he didn't portray the message in an animatiom form. Animating it took off majority of the pains and sympathy it would elicited from viewers.

For better understanding of what I mean, watch the various animations about the crucifixion of Christ, then watch The Passion of Christ by Mel Gibson. The difference in both portryals is wider than the development between America and Nigeria. Animation is the worst genre to portray stories like that. Everything would seem fake.

You really are a philistine. I am shocked! shocked

I did not look at the quality of the production. In fact, I didn't even notice the graphics. It is the message that had me locked down. It is very deep and the way it was gradually unveiled is nothing short of pure genius. Especially the ending! Lord, it brought tears to my eyes cry

The folktale is Pervana's way of coping with the harsh reality of her society. Don't forget she is a child.

Why do you think it was nominated for an Oscar? If they did not share my POV it would never have even made the cut.

My rating still stands. 10/10, baby! cheesy
The message it was portraying was an expository one, exposing the harsh reality that women are going through in Taliban dominated areas. I praised the storyline and acknowledged the message made me give it a 6/10. But judging it in other parameters, it falls short of the level of Coco.

The animation never had much hype, it's an old movie (last year), it's Ishi that made us watch it.

5/10. Mtchew. angry

Listen, guys, never watch a movie based on hype cuz you're bound to be pretty underwhelmed. Lower your expectations and maybe, you might actually enjoy the whole thing.
LMAO. 5/10 is the best rating for the movie. I added extra 1 point to it because I empathised with what ladies in those real life situations were going through. The animation is childish and doesn't hold a candle to Coco at any level.

I never watched that movie based on Ishi's hype because when it came out last year, the reviews I read weren't encouraging so I refused downloading. I just decided to watch after Ishi rated it a 10 without expecting to be wowed. I deleted the movie right from my phone after watching, it never made it to my laptop for future rewatching. grin grin

Philistine angry
LOL. Like Olu4lyf already explained, I'd have given that movie a 5/10 if not for the fact that it's passing a message about the sufferings women are passing through in the war-torn, Taliban-ruled towns. If not for that touching message, the animation is bang average. The CGI is average, like those Christmas stories shown on our TV stations. For example, their fingers were in pointed forms, compared to Coco who beat it to the award, Coco was well-written, the musical score were on point, the CGI and everything was top notch.

I found The Breadwinner kinda childish with the folktale the lady was telling her brother. The main message it's passing is insightful and touching, though.

I have been keenly observing from the side on this, but reluctant to say something because I had similar arguments with different people online and offline.
Haven't said that, just want to remind you that the man couldn't even secure a regular job because he was a convicted felon (and he never cared to tell the wife who have always been the backbone of their family)...Also, let's not forget that he also didn't inform Taraji about running into the Ex, who happens to be the new Boss of the Coy. If Taraji knew about the meetings, lunch and dinner breaks with the Ex, don't think she would have reacted the way she did when the pulse matter came up.
As far as I'm concerned, effective communication is the key but he failed to understand it.
Truer words have never been written.

This is beautiful but let's not forget her mental issues. Her behavior at last was as a result of the workings of her mind. If she was 100% OK I bet she wld have behaved differently.
The pain and jealousy of watching another lady who cheated with her ex-husband in the past, reap all the efforts of her sacrifices and labour pushed her to that mental state. Thinking of how her ex will be making love to the new wife instead of her, watching her ex buy the yacht he promised her for his new wife drove her insane. Some pills are very bitter to swallow, especially when you're at the cusp of reaping massively only to realise you blew it at the last minute. It's painful.

There was pressure on her from her sisters, they think the guy has defrauded her, and because they were ladies, insecurities followed.

The lady's narrative seems over the top.

But the guy is to be blamed too for not trying to get a good job.

I keep saying it, if Tyler Perry didn't give the movie a happy ending for the guy, the divorce would have paid off for the lady.

And if not that there were because of family interference, she would have stick with the guy.
The happy ending and the way the plot all went down, was what ruined the movie and proved to me once again that Tyler is still an amateur director.

I don't blame her for jumping ship. It's just too bad she did when she chose to. Do you know what it means slaving away, working two jobs, burning away your entire inheritance and even putting the family heirloom (her mother's house) up for mortgage just to support her husband's dream? 18 years is not 18 months. The man didn't even make attempt to get a job and support her but lived off her like a leach for that time period

The woman tried abeg. How many women can sacrifice that?? Circumstances worked against her, but she has anger and hidden mental issues and at the end that's what did her in.
I was totally dumbstrucked by that guy's assertions. Mehn!!

They got married remember? It's not like she was forced into it. Apparently he knew what he was doing, he also sacrificed his own life too. And he did got a job, he was working before the life changing call came in, not forgetting all the insults from the girl's sisters...all these he endured.

To me, the lesson learnt should be - total support, loyalty & commitment to your spouse regardless of what outsiders say, the moment she started listening to what people say, she lost it. By the way, the so called "toy" later became a goldmine. tongue
Easy for you to type because you haven't been in that shoe before. I bet you, the moment a lady you bought a car for with your inheritance cheats on you, that would be the end of that relationship. You won't ever take her back talk more of training her still, losing your family home, losing ALL your inheritance because of her while she refuses to get a job but rather choose to stay at home working a project that wasn't looking like a success for over 10 years. Very easy for you to type but you won't endure half of what that lady endured.
TV/Movies › Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by Beorn:

Part of the cause of her bitterness is she spent 18 years of her life working her butt off while he tinkered away at his 'toy'. His experiments cost her lot and she spent her inheritance on him. What stopped him from getting at least a part time job during that time? His dependence on her increased her self of entitlement when finally hit it big
Well said. The man's foolishness helped ruined her. If only he found a job while working on his project, Taraji wouldn't have lost her house or find an excuse to divorce him. He frustrated Taraji so much that she's quick to believe her sisters' story that her ex cheated on her again.

Did you noticed that while she gives him money for the project, she had completely judged him in heart that he was a con man?? That he married her JUST for the money?
You're missing something vital in the movie - she judged him RETROSPECTIVELY during her narration to the psychiatrist not when she's still a starry-eyed teenager in love.

BTW, what do you call a man that came in the pretense of love, told a teenage Taraji all the lovely things to get her to fall for him, made her buy him a car only to lie shamelessly to her face and sleep with another girl? We're not talking about a toy car, we are talking of a real COSTLY car. How would you feel if a lady told you she loves you and made you buy her a car and then cheats on you, I swear you might lose it and do something drastic. Over the years I've read on the social media about men and women whining over little money they spent on an opposite gender and later felt cheated, talk more of a car.

Despite all these, Taraji forgave him, supported him against her siblings' wishes, trained him in school, watched as her money left by her mom went down the drain while the man was toiling and wasting valuable time on a project that has failed more times than the crooks we called leaders. The man failed to get a job, what he'd have done while waiting for his big break. Taraji lost her family home because of the man's stupidity of not getting a job to support her. How many humans would support a man/woman like Taraji did? I can't do half of the thing Taraji did for a GIRLFRIEND, only for a wife.

It's all these sacrifices and losses that the man considered when he got her back the house and settled her with a good amount of millions. He knew she lost a lot because of him. Taraji tried a lot and I don't blame her for leaving the man. Nobody knows tomorrow and I don't blame her for not knowing her ex-husband would hit it big shortly after the divorce. Every human has a limit. She's tried and seeing the purse of the lady he cheated on her with was the last straw that broke the camel's back. I feel for her, but she's wrong for her actions after the ex-husband settled her. She'd have moved on despite her hurt after realising the repercussions of her impatience and wrong judgement. What she'd have done was maybe ask for the ex to add more money for her citing her sacrifices, I'm sure her ex would've agreed to that because he's a good man. After that, she'd moved on and live with her regrets.

If she had shown support for him with the battery research from the beginning, she wouldn't have been in any anguish and bitterness. It was the lack of support that was secretly and gradually biting her deep inside.
This led her to taking decisions based clouded by emotions.
How? Taraji showed excess support even to the extent of losing her mother's house.

Please I'd like your analysis on that Acrimony movie. Which one of them is at fault? Or is it both of them?
Emotions and empathy aside, the lady was at fault.
