The viniger in Blind Obsession
By Nwosu Kingsley
A 13-character story, almost there. This prettily defines Blind Obsession, a movie produced by Remi Jes, written by Emem Isong, and produced by Vivian Kjike and Irene Aje. Dwelling on love, the story dives into a psychiatric issue.
Despite exquisite locations as cute as the efforts of the make-up artist, certain options in the directing and the story-line seem insulting to sense of common knowledge and reason.
We see Patrick (Bob Manuel Udokwu) in love with Annabel (Monalisa Chinda), an amnesiac patient, under his hospital’s care Udokwu is all passion. But as for Chinda, she blazes in the character of Annabel, fronting exalt looks and manners of one slightly deranged. Annabel and Patrick manages to evoke empathy from the viewer when Damien (Ejike Asiegbu) suddenly appears to pick up Annabel, his wife. Without reluctance, you share Patrick’s pains as he tries to live without. Annabel.
Back at her home with Damien, Annabel is still amnesial. Why doesn’t Damien let her see a psychiatrist? How did she end up at Dr. Patrick’s clinic? These are tactically explained. Patrick and Annabel are sad. Damien becomes a problem to the lovers, fans of such love affair an the writer especially.
A passionate old woman, ignorant of the task of eliminating an obstacle gradually and logically would dream and wish that God should fire his cannon at anyone standing between the lovers and their unbridled emotions. You may laugh at her, but it comes to pass, and passed by Fred Amata the director, the executive producers,and the marketers who market this movie.
Blind Obsession is not a poor production despite Ejike Asiengbu’s inability to get into character.
