Half of a Yellow Sun Official Theatrical Trailer (2014) - Thandie Newton Movie HD

[@kristina_lynn]

I just finished the book and the actor for Odenigbo was EXACTLY how I pictured him in my head. Cant wait to watch this

[@sophiedegenhardt5044]

I finished it yesterday and think that he's way too good-looking for Odenigbo😅 Same goes for Kainene in my opinion

[@josephbenobasa]

I'm so glad to finally see this movie made, I read the book when I was in high school. I feel like such a proud Nigerian now

[@godwinikedigwe8219]

Proud of the identity that the white man gave you?

[@tobilobaokorodudu9594]

@@godwinikedigwe8219 no I’m proud of my national identity as a Nigerian along with the many Nigerians of Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa and other descent whose fight led to our collective freedom from unjust British domination

I'm happy to see actual Nigerian actors in this movie.

She is. I am talking about Chiwetel Ejiofor, Genevieve Nnaji and the many other Nigerian artists in here.

You know a film is going to be powerful when it gives you goosebumps from just the trailer

[@AngelMazibuko]

I just finished reading the book and I came on KZbin to watch reviews and the see the author talk about the book only to find out there's a movie! I'm so excited to watch it!!!

[@sharlenedoran2178]

finally a movie about the Nigerian civil war its an event that has been over looked for years

[@Femi925]

I just finished this awesome awesome book. Can't wait to see the movie.

[@wellingtonmbombi273]

Ugwu is a bit disappointing for me, he looks a lot older than implied in the book.

[@maggie3969]

Just finshed the book and I gotta say Im most disappointed in Kainene's appearance- why can't they just cast women who arent beautiful? Part of her character, part of her role in the story is her being the 'unattractive' twin which creates the comparison between her and Olanna. not all women are gorgeous and thats ok!!! worth is not dependant on beauty!!! Kainene's bold leadership skills are in part based on her not being able to rely on her beauty like Olanna. She may not be beautiful but that led to other skills

[@jayorn]

This film can mean alot to some people

[@lindaongola1630]

I'd like to know what happened to Kainene. For closure.

[@KR-uu5qo]

My heart broke when she didn't return at the end of the book...so I agree with you. Something tells me she was alive and came back...not just because she's my favourite character in the book and I desperately want her to live, but because I know that a person like her will not give up so easily without a fight, as she is someone who will scorn at death you know. That's why I think she comes back. Anyhow, the novel was beautifully written even though the author left the story with a pitiless cliffhanger. That's what makes the book special I guess.

[@writinghealth]

@@KR-uu5qo Thank you, I have felt so much like Kainene in this part of my life.

I've been to Lagos twice and the two visits rank amongst my favourite trips. I loved this book and enjoyed the film

[@emmanuelafoncho2896]

I can't seem to get over how emotional I felt reading this book. It's such a beautiful, compelling and heart-wrenching book. As I read, I could feel tradged looming but won't have imagined Kainene

[@thatgurlt99]

pity it's main actors are American. I hate that they don't cast African actors to play the main roles.we tell our own stories better ,we have a different kind of understanding of our culture and our being. great write nonetheless!

[@NaijaLyricsTranslations]

+natasha manzungu the main actor is British Nigerian. His parents are ethnic Igbo but he was born in the UK. I do wish they would have cast all the main actors to have been Nigerian though.

[@kelechiejiofor6999]

+rockii101 Most of the actors are born British, but they have African parents

[@Ayan-qb1zl]

but Olana and Kaneine are as beautiful as they were described love this!!

[@richild3967]

Kainaine was supposed to be taller and darker and plain. And Olana should be curvy.

why am i just finding out about this?

[@gautamsirohi9258]

Onyeche Onobu yes they are

[@SuperHarl007]

Have you read the book?

[@gshooting]

Onyeche Onobu Go watch interviews from the 1960s about the Nigerian civil war then come back to me. Do you really expect people educated in England to sound like the semi-literates that are now in Power?

[@SuperHarl007]

Spot on

[@ladaffodilion]

I do not think the actors are picked corrected. The leading male actor should have been older and more reserved whereas the leading female actor should have been younger and sexually attractive.

[@smendes2004]

looks are not everything... Why should the leading male actor be older? Odenigbo was not much older than Olanna and he was not reserved for sure! And the concept of being "sexually attractive" is a very subjective one.

[@susygomez1899]

Gosh who doesn’t think Thandine is sexually attractive? She’s everything.

I might not know that much about Nigeria, but I sure as hell know a lot about films, this one looks mediocre at best- as my comments indicated my opinion on the film the adaptation of the incidents that took place look very poor, and that it would be rated a lot higher than it should be.

[@ryanlaskey7962]

+Rafael Arandas I stayed in Lagos for four months two years ago and I'm a young, white, gay male. Nigerians are without a doubt the friendliest, loving and most humorous people I've ever come across. The only thing I'd say is unsafe for Americans is the fact that Americans don't laugh at themselves which Nigerians do A LOT.

[@fedup4190]

In the main cities such as Lagos and Abuja, but you definitely have to know what you're doing and where you're going like many other places

[@smendes2004]

This question of yours depicts American arrogance. The US is probable more dangerous to a Nigerian than the other way around.
