You know, I stumbled on this movie again last week and I can't just help but to give it a watch. I've watched it before, but seeing it again I can't help but to give a second watch, that is to tell you now interesting and good of a movie it is. It is titled Seven Doors.
Now, Seven Doors is about a man who was asked to come become a king in his hometown; he was told their family is next in line to become king. He didn't want the position, I guess because he already knows that there's a lot attached to being the king. Also, he already likes the lovely, peaceful, and calm life he's living with his family in town, so he didn't want to become a king. But then, after some persuasion and all, even the wife at a time had to as well just persuade him to, so he agreed to become the king. Little did he know that it would be the start of a bigger problem than he envisioned.
He went to the village together with his family, and all the preparation began. He was made king, and shortly after strange things began to happen in the kingdom. They made inquiries about it, asking the gods of the town and all of that, and they got to know that all the deaths and suffering and all that is happening in the kingdom were as a result of some wrongs and atrocities being committed by his ancestors. But then, there's a solution: the solution is that he, as the king, must open what they call seven doors.
And honestly, it wasn't easy having to go through all of it. It is a very mystical, traditional, and different kind of movie. He did go ahead with it, and upon starting, things began to take place in the palace too, and you know he's on a mission in the world of the spirit to open the seven doors, so he didn't know about it. I didn't expect to see all that later unfolded in that movie, believe me. At first I thought it was a Christian movie; it was later I got to know it wasn't, and when I finally decided to give it a watch, I was able to understand why everyone kept recommending it and hyping it that much too.
Femi Adebayo acted as the king, King Adedunjoye. And I can tell you he delivered. I mean, he didn't just play the role; he killed the role. I know how good and versatile of an actor that he is. His wife in that movie too, who happened to be an Igbo woman, did really well too. I love how they combined such things, and when she eventually became queen, she tried her best to learn their traditions, language, customs, and all. And I really love their relationship.
I made mention of something mystical earlier, and it is one of the things that I love about the movie. I love the mystery, I love the show of powers, I love how they kept contending, I love all that happened when he was doing his best to open the seven doors, I love how suspenseful it was, I love how that it showed without rush what happened in the past and what the seven doors actually mean. It shows clearly how the mistakes and wrongs of a last generation can affect the other. Adedunjoye didn't just inherit the throne; he inherited problems alongside it.
I must also make mention of Esusu. I love the kind of energy he brought; I love the kind of presence he brought in, an uncomfortable one at that. You will have to watch this movie to understand.
And talk of the costumes, lightening, palace settings, village settings, the traditional practices, the graphics, the make ups and all, it was top-notch. They really did their best to make it a very good movie. I'm sure a lot of money went in, the storyline was good, the actors did well, and every penny, I believe, was worth it. Even though I had issues with some scenes, as they dragged longer than necessary. But you know, the mystery it contains still kept me glued.
Seven Doors is worth giving a watch.
