    Anikulapo Movie Review

    No Nollywood movie tops Brotherhood for now, but ANIKULAPO holds its head high among the best of 2022 so far.

    There is a lot to be impressed about, especially if I am to consider the richness of culture displayed in the story, soundtrack, costumes and the set.

    Even beyond that, the movie left me thinking about how flawed we all are, and how we are quick to judge other people for their flaws without considering how we (and the society) may have contributed to those flaws.

    My point is fully expressed in the characters of Saro and Arolake.

    Saro may be judged for his actions in the movie, but remember that he is a broken man sold into slavery very early in life as repayment of debt owed by his parents.

    He tried to gather his life together by moving into a new town and he somehow found himself in the arms of a sugar mummy who further messed up with his feelings.

    If you also consider how his romance with Arolake started, you may not be surprised that he ended up treating her that way.

    The young man was on his way home when he was ambushed by a woman who pushed him to the floor and had sex with him. Flip that scene around, and there would be mayhem unleashed by a particular gender.

    But then, Saro enjoyed the whirlwind romance until they were caught and continued to be with Arolake out of gratitude until his Yoruba Demon DNA was activated. 😂

    His ultimate undoing was his foolishness.

    No man in his right mind should turn on a woman who has been there for him after he lost everything.

    But Saro lost his mind after getting too comfortable. That’s a lesson for the rest of us.

    Arolake might have herself to blame for leaving the palace in Oyo to run away with Saro, but we should not forget that she was also forcefully married off as a child against her will. She had no choice and no love for the King.

    Furthermore, she was thrown in the midst of two other palace wives who hated her, tried to kill her once and would keep trying.

    Laslas, na the Akala bird I blame for everything sha.

    Why was it so careless to have left such a power behind for two broken people?

    We suppose find that bird, kill am take do barbecue or peppersoup for Beau-harri. 🙄
