Gold Statue Full Movie Download

Iam so guilty of the same thing: wondering but not following up. I said to myself at least 50 times that I needed to find out about that statue and never did in all those years in Rome. OTOH, I did get up-close-and-personal with the Virgin Mary statue over on Monte Mario. Wonderful place for an urban hike.

Gold Statue is a 2019 Nigerian comedy adventure drama film produced, written and directed by veteran filmmaker Tade Ogidan.[1] The film stars Gabriel Afolayan and Kunle Remi in the main lead roles.[2] The film was released on 17 May 2019 and received extremely positive reviews from critics.[3] It was also nominated for the Africa Movie Academy Award for Best Nigerian Film for the year 2019. The film also received few awards at film festivals.[4]

Two young men, Wale (Gabriel Afolayan) and Chike (Kunle Remi) in search of a treasure of "Gold Statue" which is believed to have been a deity inherited by their generation. They witness and go through a series of unimaginable unprecedented unexpected ordeal when attempting to locate where the supposed Gold Statue is located. Eventually, they get the statue and become rich.[5]

The veteran filmmaker Tade Ogidan who is also noticeabley the CEO of OGD Pictures made a comeback into the film industry after a gap of eight years through this project.[6] The director himself revealed that the Gold Statue was reborn after 28 years as he insisted that the script for the film was written by him already in 1991 itself.[7] However he couldn't bankroll this project immediately at that time due to financial difficulties.[8] The film project also marked the first onscreen appearance for veteran actors Richard Mofe Damijo and Sola Sobowale together as couples after 21 years.[9][10]

The university engaged ADTEK Engineers Inc., a structural engineering firm located in Frederick, Maryland, and Big Hook Crane and Rigging, a Union Bridge, Maryland company that provides hoisting and rigging services, to work on the project. Big Hook, which performs the annual lift for the May crowning of Mary, executed the lift and secured the statue to a trailer for transport and storage in advance of restoration.

Originally commissioned in 1964 from the noted Italian sculptor Marcello Tommasi, the sculpture was cast from a full-size plaster model in Pietresanta, Italy, and was transported to Baltimore by boat and then to Emmitsburg by truck. At the time of the dedication of the Pangborn Memorial Campanile on May 1, 1964, the statue was believed to be the largest ever imported to the United States in a single piece. The De Ranieri Studios of Detroit supervised the work in Italy and in the U.S. The Pangborn Foundation and its chairman, Thomas W. Pangborn, Hagerstown, Maryland, industrialist and philanthropist, donated the statue.

In 1957 an entire Monastery in Thailand was being relocated by a group of monks. One day they were moving a giant clay Buddha when one of the monks noticed a large crack in the clay. On closer investigation he saw there was a golden light emanating from the crack. The monk used a hammer and a chisel to chip away at the clay exterior until he revealed that the statue was in fact, made of solid gold.

The secret to finding our Golden Buddha, our higher purpose, lies not in the future, but in our past. Something occurs in our life (usually a loss or tragedy of some sort) and we start chipping away at the clay to rediscover those things we were once passionate about.

We reconnect with why we first went into our profession or that job we really, really loved. We recall the times when we were in flow and time stood still. We chip away at our clay with a therapist or a trusted advisor.

They are started with a higher purpose to improve humanity and not damage the planet, however over time the clay appears in the form of poor management, flawed systems, board pressure and shareholder demands. The most vital role for leadership is to unearth that higher purpose again and make it both the glue and the guiding North Star of the company.

The Forgotten City is mainly a chill detective game about exploring a lush roman metropolis, solving puzzles by talking to people and manipulating a cleverly constructed time-loop. But there's one quest in the game that's possibly the most disturbing thing I've experienced all year. Titled 'The Gilding', it sees you explore a labyrinthine palace while gradually unravelling a nightmarish tale of tragedy, torture, and toxic love.

Like most bad things in life, The Gilding starts with a greedy man trying to get his hands on something that doesn't belong to him. That man is named Desius, an avaricious roman merchant who views the mythical King Midas as an aspirational figure. Found at his market-stall, Desius wants to 'retrieve' a magical bow from the nearby shrine of Diana, arrows fired from which will transform whatever they strike into gold. The only problem is stealing anything in The Forgotten City breaks the Golden Rule, destroying the entire settlement and forcing you to flee into a portal that transports you back to the start of the day.

But Desius has a plan. If he can find another bow, any bow, all he needs to do is wrap it in gold leaf and swap it for the real deal. Then, technically, he wouldn't be stealing the bow, he'd be replacing it. By 'he', Desius of course means 'you'. Find him a bow and help him switch it for the one in Diana's shrine, and he'll split the dividends with you 50/50.

I won't bother going over how you acquire this replacement bow, as like most quests in The Forgotten City it involves convoluted time-travel shenanigans. Ultimately, you get one, and go to the shrine to swap it. The second you do, however, a trap activates, locking you inside the shrine. Not to worry, Desius says, just slide the bow under the door and he promises that he'll release you. Swear on my mother, guv. Honest as Jupiter made me.

Naturally, your character tells Desius to swivel on it, and searches for another way out of the shrine. After a little ad-hoc shrine remodelling, you descend through a network of underground tunnels that eventually emerge into an enormous palace complex filled with golden statues.

Now, this isn't unusual by The Forgotten City's standards. There are more golden statues in the city than there are living people. But the statues in the palace are different for two reasons. First, they appear horribly emaciated, and second, they immediately start trying to murder you.

The only way you can stop the statues is by shooting them with the bow, which covers them in an additional layer of gold and kills them. But here's where things get weird. Well, weirder than a bunch of skeletal C-3PO cosplayers trying to scratch your eyes out already is. When you kill the statues, they thank you for it.

It quickly becomes apparent that the statues are literally begging for death, attacking you specifically so that you have no choice but to defend yourself. There's something deeply troubling about encountering an 'enemy' that wants you to kill them. It creates a cognitive dissonance, putting your reason and empathy at odds with your fight and flight response.

Admittedly, it's not an uncommon horror trope, even within games. In System Shock 2, the Hybrids would wail "I'm sorry" at you before swinging a pipe at your head. But it's effective here, partly because the statues look so creepy, scuttling toward you with their arms outstretched, but also because you simply don't expect it from a game that's otherwise about wandering around a nice wee town chatting with locals.

But the Gilding is only getting started. Moving further into the palace, you come across notes written by a woman named Naevia, charting her discovery of the palace and the story behind the statues. These, it turns out, were inhabitants of the city previously cursed for breaking the Golden Rule, damned to spend an eternity encased in gold. According to her notes, Naevia has dedicated herself to trying to cure the tormented souls of their curse.

A noble endeavour, but Naevia's intentions soon take a cruel turn. As you approach the palace's inner sanctum, you begin to see evidence of Naevia's 'treatments'. Bloodstains splashed on the ground, restraining equipment smeared in gold and crimson ichor. The deeper you go, the more graphic the scenes. The last few corridors resemble a gilded abattoir, with bodies strewn liberally about and walls coated in gore.

Naevia has been trying to free the statues by stripping their golden shell to get to the person underneath. But they are effectively one and the same, meaning that she's been flaying her patients alive. The statues running around the palace are the disfigured 'survivors' of her treatment, driven to mental collapse by the pain Naevia has inflicted on them. Worse, the traumatic nature of her treatments, combined with their ineffectiveness, has driven Naevia into a state of delusion where she can no longer see the damage she is inflicting.

At the heart of the palace, we discover the true reason behind Naevia's efforts. In a large atrium lies the 'statue' of a woman named Galatea, strapped to a table and half-flayed. Galatea is Naevia's lover, and all the pain Naevia has caused has been part of an effort to free Galatea from her curse.

The quest can end in several ways, although there's no easy solution. The best you can do is re-cover Galatea in gold, ending her pain, while Naevia promises to cease her experiments. Alternatively, you can kill Naevia outright, but this will break the Golden Rule. In any case either choice is only temporary, as the next time you go through the time-loop, the whole day will reset, and Naevia and all the statues will be trapped once more in their cycle of violence and grief.
