FILM REVIEW ANALYSIS ON LIGHT MY FIRE

Most short films carry lots of messages. They leave you in suspense for a while. That is exactly what happened in Light My Fire a short film by Bobb Barito. Initially, I felt tensed and intrigued. It engaged me from the beginning because an angry man stormed out of his house gets into his car and drives off . He tries trespassing a private property to hit a boy called Clark with a bat he found on the ground for what he did to his daughter.  For revenge to reign, the man calls his son out for the father of the girl to hit him back. The actions of the characters were very realistic and they did deliver strong performances. The girl actually stands out because she got mad at her dad even though he went out to seek revenge on her behalf. The relationship between the father and daughter were compelling. The cinematography was beautiful and striking. The shot of the girl in the bathtub stands out. The lighting was natural and colours were bright. The use of angles in communicating the mindset of the character. The dialogue that went on did not clash with the music in the background.The soundtrack also enhanced mood and storytelling because the music matched the mood. It did leave a lasting impression. I personally would recommend this film to everyone because it speaks about the love our parents have for us and also revenge actually mends nothing. The film has a lasting impact because it teaches a lot and it is very interesting. Stephanie Armah Korkor - BFAMPP28025

" 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...

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...
