Subtitled in English, the film is not really different from what it projects on stage.
An award – winning film producer, Kelani accepted some of the observations and criticisms to help him come out with a better production later. There is no more hankering by a local teacher who felt more grammar and good dressing could weaken a woman to submission total submission.Īlso in the area of voice projection and the props and locations used to shoot the film a lot have to be reappraised by this ace film producer. Now the king uses his veto position and power to overwhelm the jewel. So, it was apt to truly assess the content of Sidi Ilujinle within the context of the story itself and its potential to pitch a local beauty in her proper place to face the rigours of local suitors. Amongst the scholars present were film teachers, playwrights, critics and reviewers. Even though the film has not passed its final test, it is something to be reworked. For this, Kelani was advised to look into it. Yes, she is a good actress, fully flexible and equipped on set, yet she is not spellbound in all sense of beauty. She is not, in fact, attractive enough to fit that role. It was obvious the lady used as Sidi is not as physically enchanting as she is supposed to be in the story. A lot of scholars picked hole with a few scenes therein. However, upon discovering that Sidi was no longer a virgin, he saw the opportunity of marrying her without paying her bride-price.A sensational film, yet a lot of criticisms followed it. His rejection, he says, is based on his Western beliefs that women should not be bought or sold. Lakunle claims that he is in love with Sidi –the village belle–and wants to marry her, but objects to paying the traditional bride-price. It was Lakunle who prompted Baroka's servants to form "The Palace Worker's Union" to secure a day-off each week. But is Lakunle stupid as he is made out to be? He loathes Bale Baroka, whom he regards as a corrupt ruler, bent on resisting modernity to protect his abusive ruler. The villagers, children even, regard him as a fool and a laughing stock. His smattering contains loosely combined verses and phrases from Western literature and the Bible. He old-style English suit, a size or two too small, and his twenty-three-inches trousers, makes him look ridiculous. He attempts at emulating Western culture, oftentimes appear clumsy, awkward, and laughable. He is a young man of nearly 23 years old, and advocates Western culture, which he is bent on spreading throughout the village to replace its supposedly backward traditions and customs. Lakunle is the school teacher of the village of Ilujinle, who is portrayed as representing Western culture values.
