Finally watched Amazon's "Gangs of Lagos" and I was impressed with its authentic acting and engaging plot.
The sound design, photography, sound engineering, and score all added to the overall positive experience. They effectively conveyed the energy and atmosphere of Lagos,(a place I have never been before) - immersing us in the world of Oba (Tobi Bakre) and his companions as they traversed the gritty city streets.
The film's portrayal of Nigerian culture is truly captivating. It authentically showcases various aspects such as the cuisine, music, clothing, and fashion, which I thoroughly enjoyed experiencing.
Although the chemistry between the three main characters could have been improved, "Gangs of Lagos" successfully captures the essence of corruption, political violence, and the struggles of life in the ghetto. This film marks a significant milestone for Nollywood, and other African nations would benefit from watching and learning from its successes.
