Katera of the Punishment Island: A Review and Analysis. (African Folk Tales Reimagined) - Part 1

Today I'll be reviewing Katera of the punishment island, an original Netflix short created by director Loukman Ali in a series of 6 African short films that I will also be reviewing in the future. Overall I really loved this film. I love what it stood for and what it represents, and despite its flaws, I think it is a great work. This is my first video of this kind so I hope you all enjoy!

Hope y'all enjoyed the video! It's my very first time doing something like this, so if some bits were a little off apologies, but I am always improving and I think this was a step in the right direction! I really liked this film, and I hope I wasn't overly critical trying to appeal to my usual brand of content. Anyways, don't forget to like and subscribe if you enjoyed it.

Funfact: The villain is actually the hero's father. Micheal Wawuyo Snr and Micheal Wawuyo Jnr.

Thank you! It was a joy reviewing your film and I hope I didn't come off too harsh because I really loved it. Definitely plan to do more on your work it's amazing 🙏🏽🔥

[@LoukmanAli]

@@BrookD.Artist I love the feedback, it was meant to be a feature so a lot of the things you said I was like “I told them so” I love it man, @black zoro 😂😂 I love one piece

[@BrookD.Artist]

@@LoukmanAli Ah I gotchu! as an artist who sometimes works with other visions I get that. Also that's so dope I didnt know you liked one piece too, my whole name and PFP is a one piece reference! 😂

[@phileonline5951]

[@iamphayvoured]

Amazing review! I’m new to your channel, but I love your attention to detail. Please review the rest of the short films in the series. I would love to see your videos on them

[@BrookD.Artist]

Thank you! I really appreciate that and I will be resuming the series in due time. I've just gotten a little busy but I appreciate the love a lot 🙏🏽

[@no.1spidey-fan182]

This is GOOD content man, the edits are hilarious💀. I haven't seen anyone covering these. I just became aware of Loukman today which probably is why this vid is in my recommends😂

[@BrookD.Artist]

Aye that's dope man! I'm glad to jear you enjoyed it and yup I didn't see any coverage of these so I was like lemme go review this dope ass series so people can learn about it.

[@edwinbwebs]

There is a full movie that explains all of it but the episodes on netflix were cut into short films on request ...that's why u don't get all of the information

[@BrookD.Artist]

Ah I didn't know that but that makes perfect sense! Thanks for your comment

[@the7thseven873]

Interesting. That director has a lot of potential. I can’t wait for the future of African films. No doubt they will become greater and finally something that can be set on par with the greats.

[@BrookD.Artist]

Missed this comment but yeah ! I already think African films are doing great from what I can see but I cant wait to see them get the flowers they truly deserve as the medium evolves and more African people get the ability to produce

[@the7thseven873]

@@Mapangupwe Oh That’s Awesome! I wasn’t aware of that! Thanks for pointing that out✨✨✨ Apologies for my lack of knowledge.

[@holishads5635]

Man, where have you been all along 😃 this was so interesting

[@BrookD.Artist]

Procrastinating haha, but really thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Working on the next one now

[@LyricsHavenTv]

This review is beautiful. And funny at the same time. Great job. I love Katera of the punishment Island from all the folktales. 🥰💪🏾

[@BrookD.Artist]

[@akramkamya7067]

[@BrookD.Artist]

Thank you so much for the love 🙏❤ Glad you enjoyed!

[@agumemark]

Hah . This was great to watch. I only realized some or most of the things after watching this review .

[@BrookD.Artist]

Thank you so much! And yeah honestly I didn't notice most things until the 2nd or 3rd watch. But still highly enjoyable and a great film!

[@agumemark]

@@BrookD.Artist do you know any channels , similar to yours but specifically for actors and acting criticism . I feel like I d learn a lot from a talk like yours . Something fun ,factual , not boring , and yet educational

[@BrookD.Artist]

@agumemarktrizzy6138 If I'm being honest I do not but I'm sure it's out their somewhere. I kinda chose to make videos like this because I didn't see many like it. So for acting criticism? I'm unfortunately not aware of any that exist

[@HakimZziwa]

I repect the fact that you took the time to appreciate African films and look forward to more reviews 👌🏾

[@BrookD.Artist]

Of course! Thank you very much for your comment and I should have a new video out soon

[@eaqua56]

The biggest thing I wondered is why they were speaking English; it just didn’t make sense.

[@BrookD.Artist]

That's a good one. Honestly I think it's just supposed to be for eurocentric and American audiences to have an easier time

[@LoukmanAli]

If you live in Africa you’ll know why

[@tracykababiito]

You’re effortlessly hilarious , thank you for sharing your thoughts on the Film 🖤

[@BrookD.Artist]

Wow thank you so much! You were amazing as well I can't wait to see you in more films :)

[@josephinepaula6643]

In the movie 300 we don't ask were the Persian king came from he just appeared with his army we liked him because he was cool. That's all we can't explain everything in the movie

[@sulaimanMk]

Wow

[@BrookD.Artist]

Yes very wow

[@farshaxan]

Loved the review, much appreciated! I guess you're also a One Piece fan :D

[@BrookD.Artist]

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it and yes! My profile and name are one piece references actually lol

[@sulaimanMk]

[@ngongpaul399]
