Cine-Eye : Motion Picture...A Master's Game !











LIFE is a people's game, but two inimitable players turn it into a master's game. It is a showcasing of character on reel, but these intellectual heavyweights inhabit the centre of a small ring of followers, without wearing the obvious boxer's gloves. Instead, they put on the subtle thinker's cap, in a populous country called, Nigeria. And where two historic rivers meet, two iconic human beings also meet, but the country's heritage remains at high stakes from start to finish, whilst wisdom seeks for a place to hold in all human hearts.

In the end, the hands of vanity could not sustain a hold on the spiritual pillars with which God has secured the high roofing sheets of creative effort, and crass mundanity that is severely peppered by an inordinate profiteering motive suddenly drops on its human knees, in reverence to the immutable universal laws of artistry. But the minds of the people watching can still be helped, to recapture a decent moral ground, as well as hold a remembrance of the sacred moments of dictionary ease, quietly unfolding at the pace of reel, between the principal actors whose conversations readily take the shape of superior ART.

If the viewing crowd would think that Hollywood once took the Shakespearean man out of the literary woods, and that Nollywood once brought the Achebean woman back into her dramatic whims; perhaps the actors' guilds across the Atlantic Ocean should re-think, "Tinsel Town", as well as the, "Oscar Awards" with a generous wink — they should jettison the global mis-education, re-train the cosmic work ethic, and re-think a World Festival of ART.

Dickson Oroegbu once trained his eyes toward his fellow players in the acting profession, in Nollywood. But without much ado, this is a 21st Century review of, "The Mayors".

Nollywood should keep its heavyweights, but think about a re-make of, "The Mayors". It can take back the simple step it took on videotape, and turn it into a double strut on the cutting-edge of Film. This is a rebranding of the Klieg, but its honorees do not want to hide their faces from the Hollywood Light, including some veterans in the old template. Millennials are thinking, with Steve Jobs iPads, but their penultimate muse is Adam Smith's  economies of Scale, in regard to the Film Industry.

THE WORLD still rests its frame of immensity, upon spiritual pillars, and the small hands of Man must hold onto these tall pillars. There's one however, amongst these suspenders, that bears the infallible name of creative arts, from which arose a tidy gem, "The Mayors". But the artist is called to use his refined mind to direct his working hands. For example, one man in Nigeria, decided on such a sizzling platform, within the Cinematic ART; Dickson Oroegbu.

IF YOU WANT to have a field to play, use your mindset to navigate the flux of the world. Man is always in motion; if he's not moving, the Earth on which he dwells is constantly moving him — but he must keep this Relativity in sharp focus, and the unveiling Motion Pictures, to balance the Mind. Adam Smith suggested such a division of labour, long suffering years ago, to organize the Workforce, but at the same time, enlarge qualitative Production. So that if a man must think from a given position at work, without a hitch; let him also cash in on the motions of his mind, in this case, on the reel; and leave the remote control in the benevolent Hand of God. From hence, came, the Wealth of Nations.
