Movie Review: Aníkúlápó
Omg let him stay dead, why do they keep resurrecting him?
A Funny Review
First of all, the audacity of men! They’re literally the same in all centuries omg. The audacity of the Queen too… why not stay with the sugar daddy that loves you instead of running after/with a greedy lover? I mean that’s a better decision to me than following Saro who can’t keep his stuff in his pants (like I should just knock his head)
P.S Yoruba culture is so beautiful!
I studied and loved history so much in school and watching this movie made me smile a lot, I felt I was in that era with them (No, not really because if I was there with them, I’d have mistakenly poisoned everyone’s food starting with Saro) I loved it so much though.
Ahhh… Saro did not get the treatment I wanted, they should have first beaten him up and then seize that thing from his hand, broken it on his head, and then ask him to chew it.
Personally, if I was there, I would have slapped Queen Arolake for giving a man that much power because you don’t do that girl… these men will cheat on you if you do that!
Let me be serious…
The King that cannot talk? Why? Is his mouth smelling? Is he trying to be a special king or what? My friend open your mouth and speak. Has he maybe tried one day to speak to the public and check if he will really die? Is he shy? He is an ungrateful King, although I don’t like Saro but he has done a lot for his kingdom by resurrecting his people, just one time he fails, and he is crying. No wonder he can’t talk.
My favorite has to be the old woman that was brought back from the dead… She has lived so long and needs to rest so why are you bringing her back? So the white slaves can take her? Don’t be an ungrateful person.
I commend Bimbo Adeoye and Kunle Remi. These roles must have been so hard to portray, I felt bad for them every time they ate without washing their hands or drink water from a dirty river, or walk on dry grass. But did they really drink that water? Eeeww run them that cheque.
The 17th Century must have been such a tough era to live in. Imagine not having rice to eat on Sunday. Oh, they lived in such a primitive way.
Just so you know, there’s a probability that we all lived during that time and may have been reborn…
All in all, this movie has one lesson, one simple lesson… which is STAY WICKED LADIES!
Do you know what irks me? if she had used that gourd to raise the dead instead of him, she would have been tagged a witch. The world is so unfair to women.
On a more serious note, I enjoyed watching Aníkúlápó and I hope the movie, the cast, and Kunle Afolayan get the flower they deserve. He spent 6yrs working on this and it came out as a masterpiece. Greediness leads you to destruction irrespective of how nice as a human you are. If you lack contentment, you’re just in one way calling death to yourself. Saro was a greedy man and I have no idea why that bird woke him up but I need him to stay dead!
Queen Arolake's story is very typical of what women go through today, especially African women. They sacrifice a lot to keep a man and their household up all because of love but men are never satisfied. They would cheat with anything just to satisfy their horny side.
Also not to be partial but both Saro and Arolake were greedy and that’s why they both got tragic endings. It doesn’t hurt to stay faithful. If you can’t, just stay single like Awarun and cheat with no attachment.
Be a woman like Awarun, run when you see a man that screams danger. Don’t be a woman like Queen Arolake that sees danger, invites it to her bed, caresses it, loves it, and allows it to step on her. You’re too much of a Queen to do that.
P.s I saw Kunle Remi's ass… why?
