CRAZY PEOPLE.
CRAZY PEOPLE, is a comic
thriller that features a host of popular actors, ranging from Ramsey Noah,
Chigurl, Shola Shobowale, Desmond Elliot and a host of others. Written, Produce
and Directed by Moses Inwang, Crazy People is a skillfully directed stunner
that will leave you questioning the mind of the writer.
Crazy People is a tale
of a schizophrenia who is cajoled into believing he is a popular Nollywood
actor and will stop at nothing to reclaim his rightful position.
As with Alter Ego, Moses
Inwang delivers yet another mind boggling flick. The plot of this movie is
fresh and new. A play out of the mind of a schizophrenia is a tale that has
never been told by any Nollywood movie, in that sense, I would commend the
writer for his creativity however, this play out was not one that was very
welcomed by the viewers at the cinema.
From the get go, we were
totally abandoned to our confusions and questions and when we finally realized
that none of us had the answer to each other’s questions, we reluctantly waited
for the explanation to unfold.
One annoying confusion I
had was why no other person but the viewers could see the Ramsey Noah’s
imposter, who clearly was Ramsey Noah. In my opinion, if the writer wanted to
play that much ‘Sherlock Holmes’ with our minds, he could have shown the real
character’s reflection whenever he walked past a mirror or any other reflector.
But what do I know?
Second issue I had with
this movie was the activities that played out at the meeting point of the real
and fake Ramsey Noah. We had gone through enough pain that it was total cruelty
to have us seat back and re-watch all the scenes where the fake Ramsey featured
in from the eyes of his co-actors. Nah! We didn’t need that; our mind could have
figured that one out.
And finally, when
Chigurl revealed the reason behind her intent: That she was trying to get
Desmond Elliot’s attention, how? The bone of contention was Ramsey Noah, so how
then was she trying to get Desmond’s attention? I mean, how did she know that
Desmond will be there that day? Was she part of the writers of the script? Or
was she privy to some information that no one else in the movie had? Again, in
my opinion, the movie should have just ended at the point where the two Ramseys
met, period.
Now that I have
expressed my dissatisfactions with this movie, let’s discuss the ups.
Crazy People made one
thing evident: the cinematography department of Nollywood movies always made sure
to out-do their predecessors and Crazy People is presently carrying the baton.
I was excited and extremely impressed as I saw the beauty that each scene held.
Remarkable! Crispy clean shots, impressive camera angles, lightings to
perfection, no hint of shadows at all; In fact, the cinematography of this
movie surely scored them 2 points out of my 5! The entire DOP crew needs to be
treated for this!
The soundtrack was
another aspect that thrilled me. It was an enjoyable compilation of sweet
Nigerian music that would have you bopping your head up and down as each scene
unfolds.
Now the Characters:
I would like to
specially applaud the actors for a flawless interpretation of their roles, not
once did they give up any suspicion until the end of the movie.
First, let’s talk
Chigurl. She held the baton really tight man. The lady was so consumed by her
role that one would think it was her real life. She made us understand that she
was a good actor who can play the silly ass igbotic accented fat lady or a
serious, 110 IQ writer in a remarkable way. I was impressed to say the least.
Ramsey Noah, my guy. I liked
the part where he dissed his role in My Wife & I, oh that was hilarious. He
was pure Ramsey Noah: aggressive, determined and extremely believable.
All other characters did
just fine and successfully delivered a good movie. In summary, Crazy people, is
one movie you should watch with an open mind and have no intention of
prediction. On a scale of zero to five, this baby girl gives this movie a THREE AND A HALF, because it takes more
than just the storyline to rate a good movie and the freshness of the writer’s
creativity is worth applauding.
I recommend this movie
to you if you are open to new ideas and are willing to spend some time at the
cinema, just bear in mind the title of the film ‘Crazy People’ with this, you
will certainly not be thrown off guard.
Go, see the movie, have
