Anikulapo

The movie storyline was good and the cinematography was cool I must say I enjoyed the movie.

From the beginning I was the edge of the till the finish. Bravo to the Nigerian movie industry they are really trying this time and threats every project as if it's the best to come.

Thank you for anukulapo!!

Seeing people and life in Nigeria is massive an all black and all African idea its not a bad movie just that it has a lack of magic and the story is rather simple once you warm over the charm and genuine African elements it leaves a lot of space in direction and acting, story even detail of life. I feel it nearly had me, but it became a bit difficult to sustain interest around the time he porked the servant - good try and good start but I fear it did not make use of all it could have, and may have ben hampered by politics and greed off screen.. lets put this down as a good effort and possible space for more.

Anikulapo tells the story of a young man (Saro) who let the intoxication of power sway him away from reasoning and to his doom. After fate gave him a second chance at life,he ruins it by letting greed get the most of him.

Here are some of the lessons learned; 1. Imposter syndrome will lead to greed which will eventually lead to death.

2. Anybody that cheats with you will definitely cheat on you.

3. Hell hath no fury as a lady scorned.

4. Don't bite the fingers that fed you.

5. Karma is real. It might take time but it will surely come for a big hug.

6. Kunle Afolayan has earned his crown.

Anikulapo is a very beautiful, well produced movie. The visuals are great. The production value is very rich, the acting in the movie is very good. The scores and soundtracks, and the very rich display of the Yoruba culture are top notch and one of the best things about the movie. My only issues with the movie is with the story. Although the story is decent, not a bad story but the story is not intriguing enough. The story needed to be as beautiful and captivating as the production value. The story needed more mystery and magic for a fantasy movie. Overall, this is a very produced and directed movie. I hope it gets a sequel or two to complete the story, because it shouldn't end there. I believe the sequel would give the story of Saro and Arolake, the better ending they deserve.

I love the story, the cultural representation and the actors. Kunle outdid himself with this film. While i am Igbo, a different ethnicity to the Yoruba portrayed in this movie, I was not lost one bit and almost every scene was relatable as a person. The Settings looked authentic even though i have nothing to compare it to. But it just feels original.

The sex scene too was ok, not to erotic but enough to announce that Nollywood is ready for adding nude and sex scenes to movies to increase its standards. A daring move considering how reserved a lot Nigerian folks are.

Overall its an wonderful movie to see.
