Yeah, I chanced upon a Ghanaian movie or series (not sure what it was) on tv with an ending exactly like that! I was so disgusted I turned the tv off! Hindsight, I think I should have written to the producer!
Hi Selali, yes, I wanted her to slap him back too. But maybe she should simple have left him then. Anything but apologising. If I remember rightly, she was asking him about his philandering!
That means she is guilty and can see that the man was really really hurt but he shouldnt ave reacted that fast...i wish they ended it with a kiss...lol

ReplyDeleteI'm left thinking, 'What did she ask?'
ReplyDeleteA more satisfying ending might have been, 'She lands a well aimed kick to his shins'. You can clock that up to intrinsic feministic inclinations.
Thanks, Adaeze, I tend to think in a compacted way.
ReplyDeleteKayna, must be the same if the assaulted woman was Nana Ama Brown's character.

ReplyDeleteYou better write that protest letter now!

ReplyDeleteOk, anon. Something tells me, however, that what made her respond that way was not guilt but dependence (emotional or financial) on the abusive man!
