FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: 01 OCTOBER 2022

Emanate Films takes its latest release film Kedibone to the map as it tackles issues of poverty, blessers, alcohol abuse, betrayal, and sacrifice.

There is always a lot that happens behind closed doors of poor girls and boys who come from disadvantaged families and to big cities in the name of going to the university to study for a better future. Most of them get hocked very easily into drug & alcohol abuse, blessers, soft life and many more. Witten by Zaba Hlatshwayo, directed by Thomas Gumede, Kedibone stars Natasha Thahane, Wright Ngubeni, Tessa Twala, Kenneth Nkosi, Busisiwe Ntshali, Thomi Mgqolo, Thabo Malema, Matil Mohapeloa, Melvin Eheli, and Unathi Guma.

The narrative feature of the film explores and gives us a clearer picture of what happens behind the closed doors of what happens to the lives of most university students who come from poverty backgrounds and suddenly have it all and becomes the ‘it’ girls. It might not always be the same case with every girl, but it’s most likely that most if not all of them are invested in blessers and living the life of pleasing either in looks, sex or being submissive to them, including alcohol and drug abuse.

Kedibone played by bright and brilliant actress Natasha Thahane goes from her not financially advantaged home along with her friend to go and study acting in the loud and gold city of Johannesburg after her loving boyfriend sacrificed everything, he had to take her to school to study acting. Things then change when she meets the rich father of one of her school mates who happened to turn out as a blesser. We see Kedibone being flashed with expensive gifted and money so that she may stay beautiful and accompany him to clubs. She then is so invested in her new flashy life that she forgets her only true friend she came with from home. With testing how good life is with money, she then craves for more and blindly gets herself into being a ‘man pleaser’ for the internet as well as being raped and falling pregnant. With nowhere else to go, she comes to the realization that her new life is not of any good to her and decides to cut all those who hooked her to it off.  

Kedibone is not only making a name for itself on Netflix, but as well as at the international film market. Kedibone was a nominee for the Best African Actress - Natasha Thahane on the Septimius Awards 2022. As if that was all, it also scored the Best Film Award again at the Septimius Awards 2022 in Amsterdam. This award came in handy for the film, cast and the award receiver Mahlangu because “this award has also opened up collaboration opportunities for him with Dutch film creatives and is currently working on a project that will cross both African and the Netherlands' borders”, Mahlangu says.

Kedibone shows us what is not to be seen as it is in a form of exposing what young South Africans come across in their journeys of trying to build a better future for them and their families. We get the message that the writer and producer are bringing to the table of how old rich man take advantage of the beauty and purity of university girls by giving them money and gifts with the case of getting something back from them which is in most cases sex. The film comes in handy in the aspect of being informative, relatable, relevant as well as eye-opening.

Kedibone will be shown on all cinemas nationwide from 1st November.

Rational: This is a film about a young girl who dreams to be of a young actor one day, but her dreams are all ‘forgotten” as soon as she enters into the University. She gets introduced into the life of flashy and expensive life and forgets the sacrifices that her boyfriend made for her in order to get to the university as she betrays him by getting pregnant and sleeping with different men for money.

The poster above shows the release date of the film on Netflix, the cast members as well as the producer. The poster shows three pictures as a form of a pattern on how Kedibone was introduced to the flashy lifestyle, which is through money and the company that she had when she got to the university.

 BILLBOARD:

Rational: The billboard explains what happens in the film in one picture because she is living the flashing city girl life forgetting the sacrifices that her boyfriend made for her. She starts hanging out with bad company when she gets to the university forgetting her boyfriend that had good intentions of marrying her. Because of the bad company that she spends most of her time with, she is being introduced to clubbing, drinking and smoking, which were things she never did before she got to the university.

DVD COVER: (Cover of what viewers will see when they go to Netflix before they watch the film)

 Rational:  This cover looks like the one that will show when one clicks on Netflix to watch it. Before they press play, they will first read the advert above. The reason for choosing that picture is because it is one of the scenes in the film where Kedibone is being blinded with the nice cars and lots of money that her blesser blesses her with, forgetting her mission of being in the university.

REVIEW: TALES OF THE DAUNTLESS DIVERGENT.

After watching the film Divergent (2014), all i could say is "wow, when is Divergent 2 being released."

Honestly speaking, I would rate the film a ten out of ten because of how the film was presented to me, how every actor fell into place, and the whole layout of the film. The film that is being reviewed is Divergent (2014). This is a remarkably interesting yet fun film to watch because it just keeps the viewers glued to their screens. The purpose of this review is to give the world my personal experience, judgement, and opinion about the film. The thesis that I would develop for this film is that Divergent is an interesting film that makes the viewers still have the urge for more. This is because this was how I felt after I watched the film. I went ahead and googled if there was no part two to the film. My main point is that everything that happens in the film just falls into place, and at the end of the film, one is left still envying for more.

FILM’S ORIGION AND MAJOR ACTORS:

So Divergent (2014) is a film directed by Neil Burger and was released on 21st March 2014 in the United States of America. Its screenwriters are Vanessa Taylor and Evan Daughtery. Divergent (2014) did not just come about like most films, but it is based on a 2011 novel by Veronica Roth. Divergent (2014) is a film with the sci-fiction and action genres, and it is 2hrs 19m long, and truth be told, the is really worth so much time because of how it portrays every little piece to the viewers very well. The film's major actors are Shailene Woodley (Tris), Theo James (Four), Zoe Kravitz (Christina), Jai Courtney (Eric), Kate Winslen (Jeanine), and Miles Teller (Peter). This are the film's major actors, and their roles really complete the film and add value to it because without the other person's role, the other person's duty and role in the film would be useless. The film's parental guidance is PG13, which i think really makes sense because the film has many violence scenes, and children are already exposed to guns, killings, and violence by the time they reach the age of thirteen. This is a film with two more expanded franchises namely The Divergent Series: Insurgent (2015), as well as The Divergent Series: Allegiant (2016).

SYNOPSIS:

The story of Divergent (2014) takes place in the post-apocalyptic city of Chicago where people were divided into diverse groups, five groups in counting called factions based on their personality. These factions were grouped right after the war to maintain peace in the city of Chicago. As a person residing in Chicago at that time, when you are of age, the age of 21, you were expected to go under a series of tests so as to determine he faction or group you fall into based up on your personality. The leaders of the city wants one to choose exactly the group that the test points them into, but one is also advised to choose a faction of their own choice. Punch line is, once you chose, there is no going back, and when you back out of your faction, you become factionless and are thrown into the streets.

In this film, everyone has a role to play in the society, and that is how the peace is maintained. In the film, we get to meet Tris who is one of the main characters in the film. As she goes through the series of tests, she discovers that she falls into all of the five factions, and she is thus called a divergent because of that. She is called a divergent because she develops in different directions because she fits in more than one faction. The whole controlling and leading system of the city of Chicago is threated by people like Tris (divergents) because according to them, divergents threaten their whole system and motive of keeping the peace and they are extremely rare.

When the choosing ceremony comes, she is supposed to choose as her personality if she is courageous, smart, self-less, honest, or good at farming. She surprisingly chose the faction of being brave and courageous known as dauntless. This is a faction that produces the protectors and the solders of the city. Although she has always envied and imagined herself as being a member of the dauntless faction from a small age growing up, she ended up choosing that faction regardless of her test results.

CINEMATOGRAPHY:

One thing about this film is that it has great lighting. A close-up shot was used to shoot the scene where Tris was Zip-lining from the night capturing the flag game they were playing to the dauntless premises. When she was on the zipline, she was excited as it felt like she was flying. We could tell by her smile while riding down the line. This close up camera shot was also used in this scene because she was afraid, she was going to die at the end of the line as it was not stopping. This was for us to focus on her so that we may feel what she was feeling. This close up shot was used so as to create tension because every audience watching that film thought she was going not die a very painful death.

CHARACTERISATION:

We see Tris growing and transforming from this little self-less person to a beautiful bold, strong, brace young woman. We see her being discouraged by the ones close to her, but their discouragements just make her stronger and braver. We see that she is brave because of how she responds to threats around her and people trying to bully her. We see that she is strong because in my own opinion, she always stood up for her friends even if it was going to land her into trouble. We see her standing up for her friends and being brave enough to talk her mind out when she does not feel comfortable. The characterization of the film happens to align with the character of every actor in the film. With the character of Tris, we see her appearance while she was still at her faction from birth looking selfless by the way she dressed and spoke as she dressed in dresses and spoke calmly, but as soon as she joins dauntless, her character changes. She is not afraid to fight, and her way of dressing changes as she also gets a tattoo. She really becomes a star in this film, and she deserves the glory to what the film has turned out to be.

As she grows in her new space, we see her growing feelings for her trainer Four. As Four being a trainer, one could see the moment that they laid their eyes on them that he is some handsome brave human being. Apart from Tris, we can see from Four's dressing that he is just fearless. The way he speaks resembles leadership qualities, and we see this because although he is not fully part of leadership, he is a trainer. His thinking shows us that he is smart and brave Because of that, we also see Tris falling for him. From his character in the film, we could see that he is a person who cares for people when he chooses to because he cared for Tris although she did not owe him anything. We see Tris trusting Four with the deepest secret that she is Divergent.

These two characters just fall in love in a very natural way. You can just see from the way they look at each other at the film in different scenes that there is love growing. From the way they fight for each other physically and emotionally, we see two being one. Another character whose character is interesting is Jeanine. We see by the way she dresses that she is in control. She is always in formal clothing and has boarding guards around her to help her with anything. The way she talks resembles a leader as she is calm but stands on her word and believes in her word. Although she is a character who is in and out of our screens, when she shows, everyone can see by the way she dresses, speaks, thinks, and how she orders people around her to do things for her that she is a leader.

PLOT:

With what has been explained above, we see that film has an interesting yet amazing plot. We see that Tris proving a point to the world especially her founders that one can be brave and selfless at the same time as we saw her portraying these two characteristics in the film. Although she is settling in Dauntless and working her way up, she uncovers a looming war between these factions are designed to keep the peace maintained that threats her family as people she loves the most. The story uncovers itself in a way that makes so much sense step by step. As one is watching the film, you can never get lost because every scene is being unfolded with understanding.

FILM THEMES: 

Divergent (2014) is a film with the themes of identity, family, and threat. We see Tris struggling to find her identity, where she fits in, and who she really is. We see her stressing because she does not know where she belons. She loves her family and does not hesitate to fight for them as when war strikes, the first people she thinks of is her family than herself. The theme of threat is also very visible in the film because every day Tris wakes up in the morning, her life becomes in danger as she is divergent and considered as a threat. If anyone knew her status, she is dead. The three themes sum up the divergent (2014) film because everything revolves between the three themes, and the lives of all the characters on scene work around the three themes. As we are watching the film, these are the three things that stand out and keep repeating, and thus hey are the themes of the films.

RECOMMENDATIONS:

I would definitely recommend this film to teenagers and people who enjoy action films. Teenagers would enjoy this film because they are at a age where they start dating, and truth be told, Tris and Four had a really beautiful love story to tell. They fell in love in such a beautiful and natural way that there are no ways teenagers would not enjoy such a film. Divergent (2014) is an action film, as it states in its genre. The killings, shootings and violence would be recommended for people who enjoy action films because we see lots of violence happening in this film. 

CONCLUSION:

This film is really worth watching because there is just a sense of still wanting more when you watch it. It is fun, interesting, and exciting to watch because the characters know their place in the film. Trivial things like the music used in the film make the film stand out from other films. Compared to other films like The Hunger Games (2012) is that both films are science fiction films, they both originated from novels before they became films, and they are both film series films. We see lots of similarities with the two films, but one thing about Divergent (2014) is that this film comes with enough to bring all that interest on its own. I can actually conclude that this film is a “natural” on its own.
