These are the qualities we see in Mulan

This was one of my best dialogue in Mulan.

These are the qualities we see in a good wife

When a wife serves her husband, she must be silent, she must be invisible she must be...

Is something wrong.

No madam matchmaker, thank you.

It's ideal for the tea pot should remain in the center of the table.

But I think the teapot should remain the place it is.

Move the teapot girl!

And the action began.

Though this is a superwoman movie, the whole 20yards of feminism material was first animated in 1998 based on the Chinese folklore, "The Ballad of Mulan". The live-action adaptation cannot be more relevant in the 2020. I like that the lead character Hua choose to use her CHI in the good way.

The antagonist Xian Lang played by Gong Li is your typical 'hell has no fury like a woman scorned' feminist. Anything goes so long the woman is taken seriously. No moral codes, our struggles of self esteems.

Hua Mulan, a female replaces her father under disguise to fight in the war against the northern invaders. She who was dishonored after my legendary opening dialogue, was titled Loyal Brave Truth and Devotion to family.

A girl became a soldier

A soldier became a leader

And a leader became a Legend.

What better musical ending could Disney concoct, not one but three feminine sounds. It was that feminist stan.

This is not a movie summary, angry I don't appreciate spoiler alerts myself. And I am not your typical movie critic because this review is according to my movie taste slash preferences and just enough hype to advise your next movie. I am not a preacher of spoiler alert lipsrsealed , thank you.

What we once believed Chapter Two

Starting well and finishing strong, that is the story of the campus fellowship excos; the perfect story but this story am about to tell you is imperfect. I have known Brother Seun ever since my predegree days. In short, everyone knows Brother Seun, the evangelism coordinator. So let’s quickly run through his personality profile. Loveable? Check, vibrant? Check, dedicated? Check, outspoken? Check, heaven trembling and demon chaser? Check, handsome? If I hear; but whatever he lacked at that department, he made up for in suave. However, he is not my favourite kind of person reason being he was egoistic and showy. If he had stopped at that perhaps it would have been manageable but he had a weakness, sisters. As a friend would say, ‘ministry for the sisters.’ He would stop at nothing to catch the attention of sisters in the fellowship. Now don’t misconstrue me; he was not in any immoral act or anything with them, he just lives for female attention. To anyone else, it might seem just ordina...

Nneka The Pretty Serpent, part two?

Viewers Digression: Paranormal movie. I do not know what I was thinking buying a ticket to see movie, normally I don't do paranormal. Paranormal are movies on metaphysics, metaphysics= spirits and magic. As a good Christian girl, I'm sorry it doesn't seat well with me. So from title, snake girl is a giveaway, seeing Nneka, red flag but the hype on social media was tempting. First the movie flier I saw had a village setting or was that my imagination, ooh now I know, the 30years ago backtrack. I'm a sucker for movies set in the 90s and backwards. There is something original about those movies, that a playwright can recreate those scene, actually wins for effort. No one spends that much on costume and stage to release rubbish. On rubbish, Nneka storyline just suck. If there is a parts 2, No am not watching! The movie started with lot of promise, but in between the serial killing, the writer lost it. For acting, all crew were perfect to the T. Especially Ada played by Bimb...

What we once believed Chapter Three

Sister Dorcas is another such vibrant sister in the fellowship. She is my level mate and I guess she did pre-degree like me but I don’t notice her until when we were freshers. And trust me; I was always sitting on the noticing pew, the back benchers. You get to see who comes and go, who has the hottest heels or who is wearing the oxygen trousers. For those who don’t know what the oxygen trousers is, well Fashion Police 101, those over-zealous brothers who wear oversize everything; trousers, oversize, shirt or coat, oversize even the shoes, it has to be ancient in design. Obviously, the wide trousers let in air and the overall effect makes them look like astronauts in space suit. Well, astronauts need oxygen in space. Even when Tiwa, my friend and I started noticing Dorcas, she is snobbish and does not hang around after service. After the benediction of every service, she picks up her bag, bones face and goes home. Well it is not like we were going to make friends with her or even...
