Weekly film
The Man who Squeezes man's muscles: The search for Purple Aki is a short documentary made by Benjiman Zand and was made in 2016 in September and is about the urban legend of Purple Aki and if it is true or not.
The film is single camera film with a voice of god narration and is a investigative documentary. so it poses a question and solves it and tries to solve it. It uses long shots of people walking along the side walk, waiting at the bus stop and walking through train tunnels. The long shot with the voice of god narration constructs this creepy and tense atmosphere. Almost like this urban legend is watching us.
It uses people's interviews to reconstruct events which have occurred with innocent individuals and the sinister Purple Aki. It was first a headliner for the Daily Mail, no surprise there, and it started to gain popularity from there.
"Muscle Obsessed Pervert".
TA lot of the shorts and scenes are taken at night contributing to the creepy atmosphere. With the people interviewed there a certain enigma about it maybe the filmmaker is trying to confuse the audience. It ends without a definitive answer and with text appearing in the shot saying "we tried to contact Akinwale Arobieke He did not want to speak". The text faded out of the shot. The use of the text appearing and disappearing is almost phantom like and contributes further to the enigmatic nature of the Film. n
