Hello hovers ,how was our day? Well decided to watch a movie 🍿 🍿 today and relax and be taken care offf. Lolzzzz
So I decided to see the movie "BITTER PILL" a Nollywood movie produced by emem Using , starring Belinda effah (shade), kachinnochiri (mide), pere(akpan), Nancy isime(fumi)
Mode is a caring and loving husband to his wife fumi, who he met as his patient that was raped and shot and also in the process now had some complications with her wombs but he still fell in love with her and married her but fumi his wife on the other hand does not really care about the marriage her reason understandably being that she. Lost intere in life after the rape ,also having in mind that she barely has chances of having kids ,this made her not to see the live her husband keeps showering on her, she only agreed to marry her husband, after reaching term with him that she will only marry him in the condition that the husband will be her younger sister (shade) benefactor. That he has to see her through school until she is independent, mide agreed to her term, and told her that she will fall in love with him in the process, (hopefully so he taught), her husband still showed her love, admist her ingratitude, selfish and unappreciated attitude, she felt she is better of dead and even blame her doctor (husband) for saving her life and not. Allowing her to die, she made him have no say in her life or in the home anything whatsoever, and mide was calm and understanding, believing that more love is going to help in her healing process but to no avail. Meanwhile fumi love her kid sister so much, her love for her kid sister can make her sacrifice anything for her, she even gave shade one of her kidneys, dat how much she loved her sister, infact her only reason of existence is her sister not even her husband (at this. Point I felt for her husband though, such an unreciprocated love).
Shade is fumi younger sister, who on the other hand has always wanted fumi marriage to work out, she has even tried talking fumi into having pleasurable sex with her husband (Kamasutra gist lolss) but fumi as usual has always been adamant, all her desire was for her rapist to be killed by her, fumi allowed herself to be consumed by her hurt( which is understandable though, as a woman I can't even imagine being raped, God forbid) she has rejected therapy, because she felt they don't understand her pain.
So shade went for nysc and met a God fearing, loving tall (ghen ghen lolzzz) handsome, cute tantalizing,lolzz,. Christian brother in the lord by name akpan , who she fell in love with, oh he was that perfect man of her dreams, thet got engaged, shade spoke to her sister fumi about akpan and she invited them over to Lagos, on her birthday, so they both came to Lagos, on getting to the house they met mide( fumi husband) he welcome them and told them fumi will join them shortly, so while the introduction was going on fumi joined them and guess what , lol and behold she identified akpan (shade fiance) as the guy who raped her and shot her five years ago and also who is the reason for her childless predicament. She went all loose at him but her sis and her husband took control of the situation.
Caught in emotions, here shade begging her sister to forgive the only man she ever loved and let them move on and live in peace bit fumi refused, all she wanted was justice and revenge, fumi asked her husband who was the doctor that handled her case to testify for her in court, he refused and her sister too refused to testify and these are the only peo who can testify that she was raped five years ago.
The disrespect of fumi towards her husband mide became so unbearable that he had to leave the house despite loving her so much and all his sacrifices for her. Mide even supported fumi in asking his own mother out of thier home when she came making trouble with fumi on her inability to conceive, despite all his love toward fumi, fumi still allowed her past becloud her sense of reasoning and feelings, so he left promising not to come back unless she was ready to take him as husband not a toy boy , Hoping that she will realize her mistake before the divorce process starts this lingered for three months.
Akpan on the other hand for an instruction from God to pray for fumi to conceive , which he did, although when he told shade about it, she seen uninterested and told him that the prayers was not necessary and too late because mide and fumi was getting divorced nevertheless, he still prayed as instructed by the holy spirit, meanwhile shade asked him (akpan) to return back to his base calabar, and let them give time to all that is happening.
Luckily it was at this point that fumi came to realize that she has really been unappreciative of her beloved husband, she kept hoping he would come back , three months passed he did not come, so she looked for him and they made peace and in less that a month she was confirmed 2 weeks pregnant (who says God don't answer prayers).
Fumi had to invite akpanto Lagos, and she told him that she has forgiven him and won't be coming after him but she pleaded with akpan and shade not to continue thier relationship for her sake, that they should love someone else because anytime that she will see them together, be it wedding, child dedication etc, that she will be made to remember what happened, and that her sister is her only family she has and won't like to be away from her sister life because of something she has no control over, wellllll, painful as it is shade and akpan saw reasons with fumi and made peace with the fact that they can't marry but just be friends ( sometimes love is proofed through some hard sacrifice too), although for me I felt that was the best decision and least sacrifice shade can do for her sister who gave her her kidney and a chance to life, fumi inturn apologised and made peace with mum in law,
The movie I can describe as tragic-relief, has a lot of lesson in it, which includes (1) the past can come calling at anytime, so be careful with what you do today (2) learn to cherish what you have presently before you loose it, fumi was lucky not to loose her husband but someone else might not be that lucky (3) the power of prayer can't be over emphasised, God is still in the business of listening to us and granting our heart desires, though it tarries it shall come to pass, God is only waiting for you to say that word, (4) always keep faith aliv
These and many more are the lessons I learned from this movie, kudo to the producers it was a nice script, you can share the lesson you learnt too on the comments session and kindly vote and like,
