I use to sneak out of school to watch movies at the cinema - Mike Bamiloye

Evangelist Mike Bamiloye has recounted how he use to sneak out of school to watch Chinese movies at the cinema.

The Christian moviemaker stated this in a post about how children are shaped by the movie they watch.

Revealing how engrossed he was in the movies he use to sneak out to watch, Mike Bamiloye stated that it got to a point whereby what he watched began to manifest in his actions.

He wrote: "CHILDREN SHAPED BY MOVIES THEY WATCH When I was in Form One and Two in secondary school, I was influenced by my friends to be sneaking out of school after morning registration. We would attend the first lesson and sneaked out of the class, crawled out of under the wire-fence and hurried off to Rainbow Cinema, Idi-Oro, Mushin, in the rowdy part of Lagos City. Every day, between 10 am and 12 pm was Chinese films at that time. Then, we would sneak back into the school and mingle with the students during the long-break time.

I was so much engrossed in this that I knew so many of the names of the Chinese fighters. Consequently, therefore, my character was adversely affected. I was easily irritated. One afternoon, in the school, after coming back from the film show, I picked up a quarrel with a boy and instantly, I began to kick my legs and fling my arms in a Kung-Fu fighting display before a large number of the students. I wanted to fight. I wanted to experiment all that I had been watching in the Chinese films. I was in Form Two (JSS II) at that time. CHILDREN ARE SHAPED AND FORMED BY THE MOVIES THEY WATCH".
