life is rosy

So this movie was pretty awesome.  I actually really enjoyed it.  Basically a guy who plays music in a village and moves to Kinshasa, Zaire's capital, and works a series of odd jobs paid by his employer whom I can only discern as a "big wig" in the area.  He meets a girl named Kabibi and pretty much falls in love with her.  However, his boss whom might I add has some outrageous fashion statements to be made throughout the film, claims Kabibi as his second wife.  (Apparently his first wife was barren and his family was going to disown him) ((To which I ask, this guys like 45 at least, seriously?))

So there's the conflict basically this guy goes around doing things for this Kabibi with his bosses money, the boss finds out etc...  Kabibi isn't really into boss man either she obviously has feelings for this guy that's bending over backwards for her and getting into some seriously hot water.  By the way this guys name is Kourou.

So this film reminds me of the rap game in America a little bit.  Mostly because its about music and going from a village (da streets) to the capital city (da top?).  And the various struggles that ensue. 

Have I mentioned there's a kabob selling, jacked, little person in this movie... seriously awesome. Oh and he sings.. need I say more?

Anyways, if we look at Hip-hop/rap artists in America it's all about the rep.  That is how hard they are, or how hood they are.  Don't get me wrong there do exist individuals who don't prescribe to this phenotype however, the industry on the whole is kinda just money and ho's; as it were.  So when I saw this film showing how music comes from the little village where he breaks his musical instrument getting into the back of an overcrowded truck.  To the hustle and bustle of the city where no one knows his name he still wants to play music and sing.  But he doesn't have any rep.  people don't know him and he's got to get his face out there so to speak. 

Pretty awesome film all around.  Would watch again.
