Lazy Suzan

 The short film Lazy Susan made me feel happy, surprised, and amused. It had a fun and silly way of telling a story without using many words. Right from the beginning, I was interested because the two sisters in the film were so different from each other. One sister, Susan, was extremely lazy,  she barely moved at all. The other sister, Annie, was super active always spinning, jumping, and working very hard in the family’s Chinese restaurant. This made me laugh and want to see what would happen next. The story was short but very clever. It shows a family working hard to keep their restaurant running. While one sister works all the time, the other seems like she’s just relaxing and not helping. But something surprising happens—Susan comes up with a genius idea that changes everything. Without giving too much away, her invention is both funny and smart. The film teaches us that sometimes the person who looks like they’re doing nothing might be the one who has the best idea. The ...

  Film Review:  Light My Fire  by BOBB NAME : Solomon Nyamekye  BFAMP28029 Light My Fire  by BOBB is a captivating blend of raw emotion, social commentary, and artistic storytelling that explores the journey of self-discovery and resilience in a world marked by adversity.

" Light My Fire": A Smoldering Masterpiece of Restrained Fury and Tender Truth DIRECTOR: BOBB BARITO  In the often noisy landscape of short films, Bobb Barito’s "Light My Fire" arrives like a controlled burn, quiet, intense, and leaving an indelible mark long after its brief runtime. This isn't just a story told; it's a raw nerve exposed, a profound exploration of paternal rage, fragile love, and the monumental courage required for true compassion. We meet Miles on a Fourth of July simmering with more than Southern heat. News of his daughter's hurt ignites a primal fury within him. Barito masterfully steers the narrative away from predictable vengeance, instead plunging us into the suffocating internal landscape of a man whose protective instinct has curdled into dangerous anger. The film’s brilliance lies in its central, gut-wrenching question: Is this blaze of rage truly protecting his daughter, or is it consuming the very love he seeks to defend? Bari...

FILM REVIEW OF ''LIGHT MY FIRE'' BY BOBB BARITO

 FILM ANALYSIS BY: AWUKU DANIEL BFAMPP28006 FILM TITLE: LIGHT MY FIRE DIRECTOR: BOBB BARITO This is a short, intense movie about what happens when a man tries to act like a tough hero but real life doesn’t work that way. It shows how a man’s idea of being strong and manly can turn messy and even dangerous when things don’t go his way.  The director, Bobb Barito, did a great job telling the story without making it  obvious.The story’s main fight happens halfway through the film not at the end like in most movies. This means we spend more time seeing what happens after the violence. The dad, who acts out of anger to protect his daughter, ends up not knowing how to comfort her afterwards. That’s the sad truth the movie leaves us with, he can fight, but he doesn’t know how to be there for her emotionally.  In my view , all the characters were well developed and played a good role, the action of Clerk's Dad took me by surprise because i didn't expect the beatings that cam...

Dzolo Kpuita (Review on the movie Nursery Rhymes)

Nursery Rhymes – A Quiet Short Film That Hits You Right in the Heart Sometimes, the most powerful stories come in the smallest packages. Nursery Rhymes, a short film directed by Tom Noakes, doesn’t use much dialogue, action, or even music — but it still leaves you with a lump in your throat. What begins as something strange quickly unfolds into something meaningful: a moment of calm in the middle of chaos, told through the soft singing of a nursery rhyme. The film opens on what seems like nonsense — a naked man standing near a roadside crash, softly singing. No one explains who he is or why he’s there. But as the camera slowly reveals more, we understand: he’s singing to a small child who has just survived a terrifying accident. His job isn’t to rescue anyone. It’s to be present, to be calm, and most importantly, to bring emotional safety to a child in shock. There’s something hauntingly beautiful about the way this film is shot. The cinematography doesn’t try to impress — it just watc...

Light my Fire (film Review)

NATHANIEL ANTIYE QUAYE BFAMP28037 FILM ANALYSIS (LIGHT MY FIRE) Directed by: Boob Barito Produced by: Yacht Club Country: USA At the end of the movie, I felt bad seeing Clerk’s father beating him and allowing his girlfriend’s father slap him too. Although the story was short, I was engaged from the beginning of the story and will summarize the story as a story conveying a message of how parents should instill discipline when their children involve in a wrong act. The central message of the film talks about how parent’s should discipline their children when they involve themselves in bad acts. While watching the film, I experienced a surprise when Clerk’s father told the father of Clerk’s girlfriend to slap Clerk on his face. The Characters in my opinion were developed and acted very real by delivering strong performances. Clerk’s father stood out positively for me whiles her mother stood out negatively for me. The relationship between Clerk’s father and the and his girlfriend’s father ...

https://youtu.be/b79R839YfZg?si=SS8MeFnW7ELDCr_S When Emotions Explode Like Fireworks Light My Fire is a short Southern drama that burns slow, but deep. It tells a powerful story in just a few minutes one filled with emotion, silence, and the kind of tension that sticks with you. At the heart of it is a father, a daughter, and a night that could change everything. From the first scene, you know something is wrong. A father is searching for his daughter’s boyfriend, and you can feel the storm inside him anger, fear, and heartbreak all mixed together. The film doesn’t rush. It lets the tension build slowly, like a match waiting to be lit. Even though the story is short, it pulls you in. You don’t need to know every detail to feel the weight of what’s happening. What matters is the emotion and this film delivers it in a very real, raw way. The performances are quiet but strong. The actor playing the father gives a deep, emotional performance that doesn’t need big speeches. His face, his v...
