Nollywood actress Ruth Kadiri has delivered a clear message to film critics, expressing her indifference towards their assessments.
Through a video shared on her Instagram page, the renowned actress addressed the criticism she has been receiving regarding the predictability of her movies.
Kadiri made an astute observation, highlighting that even Hollywood and other foreign films often follow predictable plotlines, yet they continue to captivate audiences worldwide.
The talented actress firmly believed that the key lies in how a story is narrated, rather than in its predictability.
She responded to those who labeled her movies as predictable, stating that their attempts to assist her were futile and rather unwise.
Kadiri drew a parallel between foreign films and her own, emphasizing that despite being able to anticipate the ending of a foreign movie, viewers remain engaged until the credits roll.
In her view, the problem arises when filmmakers endeavor to complicate stories unnecessarily, neglecting the fact that life itself is often predictable.
Kadiri urged writers to refrain from trying too hard to impress audiences, asserting that the manner in which a story is conveyed holds greater significance than its predictability.
The caption accompanying the video on Ruth Kadiri’s Instagram read, “Film critics tend to go above and beyond. However, I am not one to be swayed by your analyses. This is my perspective.”
