The wonderful ways of Bruley.

We get to see the wonderful ways of Bruley, an Ivory Coast man who sees the light, (so to speak), and becomes Cheik Nadro, one who does not forget. The gentle and hypnotic style of the film both compliments and reflects the humanity of Nadro. With people like him I feel there is hope for humankind and that there may be a cure for the ignorance that plagues this world. All Nadro is doing is creating one universal language and religion to bring us together through his works of art. Wow, far out man! I'll be into that.
