Power and Perception of Africa in the film Yeelen

African Power and Recognition in the Movie Yeelen Light is life, death, regeneration, good and evil, because the sun is the giver of life and sometimes the recipient. In the movie Yeelen (1987), it is natural that the title has the most important theme of the movie. Yeelen 's English means brightness. Everywhere in the movie the image of light emerges from the most obvious word, the sun, to other more abstract forms like eggs. These photometric images emphasize the point of the movie about existence, justice, and the essence of the life cycle.

The real turning point of African cinema is Yam Daabo (The Choice) in 1987, which Yeelen (brightness) of Marie Suleiman Cisse, on the one hand, and Idrissa Ouedraogo of Burkina Faso, chose as a critic on the other. It is one. Indeed, Yeelen was the first African black movie to participate in the Cannes Film Festival, and that film played its full role. The first voyage around his power by his protagonist reflects the African film of the festival world, in particular the Cannes Film Festival. The next step was Tabataba of Raymond Rajaonarivelo (Madagascar of 1988) and Yaba of Idrissa Ouedraogo (Burkina Faso of 1988), both of which appeared in two weeks of coaching. Then Tilaï (1990) was re-elected in official competition by abundant Ouedraogo

There is always an implicit ideological precondition for African movies. This particular view is often confirmed by "idealism" in Africa and then reflected in the discussion of African filmmakers. This ideological view is based on Western assumptions or African holistic views. In essence, the idealistic rhetoric of African films is a response to the attitude of patronage to those in Africa, which has emerged in the history of African colonial period. In this regard, even a combination of idealism and pedagogy found in African films requires review of the aesthetic and practical story of African film stories.

Almost all elements of this patronizing attitude toward African / African people seem to resonate with African-American African / African perceptions. The only difference is that, in their opinion, everyone in Africa is a member of the royal family. For a country with the most advanced science and technology in the world, Wakanda chose the bloody battle of rituals as a means of raising the throne of the government. And I will scoff at the technical result. God forbids Africa to do any form of modern progress without brutal traces of staying behind its tail like a monkey!
