PRIDE is about a pastor, Pastor Johnson Albert (Ayo Ajewole). Pastor Johnson is a man that God uses very well for person’s healing and deliverances. But as time goes on pastor Johnson starts to believe that God’s anointing on him was more than the other pastors in the church. Because of his pride Johnson gets suspended in the church but he resigns instead and sets up a new church. Pastor Johnson later got so full of himself that he had no members in his church five years after setting up the church. He then decides to make people accept Jesus by force and then make them compulsory members of his church. While trying to do this, he encounters thug. Together with three more thugs, Pastor Johnson was beaten to death because of the “accept JESUS by force Agenda” he had.
REVIEW
Pride is a very interesting film. It is a Gospel comedy and even though it is a gospel comedy, the message it is suppose to pass across are dominant in the film. However, it is evident that the film PRIDE is of low budget.
The characters in the film are not properly costumed. Their acting was a good one even though they could have done a lot more in some seen. The characters in this film are young but this did not disturb the production of the film. The one good thing that I loved about this film is that the characters, though not perfect in their acting could still pass across the message very clearly.
Furthermore, there are some things I will strongly advise to take important. First, the makeup of the characters was not good. In this film, the makeup artiste did not do a very good job. The characters during the course of a shot sweat very much. The makeup artiste was supposed to do something about that but did not. This situation occurred in several other scenes in the film.
The film is a very interesting film and the acting was good but nevertheless, there can still be a lot more improvement in the acting, costuming and makeup of the cast because it is very important in the success of a film.
