Is Nollywood a person? I really hope that one day we'll start producing films to include our local langages. Local languages musn't be spoken throught the movie but it should be spoken where needed. For instance, if you're gonna shoot a movie that involves an office, it will be ok to use english while the actor in the office, sicne that's the language that's usually spoken in offices. But when the character in the movie goes home and wants to buy something from mama Nkechi, the person should switch to pidgin English because it's most unlikely that people communicate with their local retailer in Queens English. If the person goes to the village, then Igbo or whichever language that's spoken in the village should be spoken. I find it annoying that out Nollywood people will make villagers to speak English when that's not the reality of things. I hope we'll learn to get things right. 7 Likes |

afam4eva: True and it's one of the reasons why I like The Figurine and rate it very high. It gives the movie a realistic feel and brings it closer home for the viewer. Here's an excerpt from my review of The Figurine last year https://www.nairaland.com/628119/what-last-movie-watched-part/41

@semid4lyfe You were spot on. I think that's one of the few things i like about figurine too even though i keep complaining that it wasn't really entertaining. It's unlike the Yoruba movies where people speak Yoruba to their boss in the office, speak it to their lecturer and to everybody they come across. I don't think that's right. |

Standing5: Film Titles to expect: Fisher Love,The River and The Village, My dear Canoe, The Marine world, Coming to BomadiSounds nice really,just like Coming to America. I hope they show environmental degradation, long term effect of Gas Flaring on Humans,Plants and Animals, effects of exposure to radioactive materials due to oil exploitation, poverty and hunger in the midst of wealth,local chiefs corrupt tendencies etc in the Ijaw films, otherwise, the whole project would have lost its meaning. |

Re: Nollywood To Start Producing Ijaw Films by klax(m): 11:23am On Sep 12, 2012 |
Well I seem dont get what this thread meant because is Nollywood a person or a film industry I guess the moderator should get a better heading for this thread. And by the way I dont see anything wrong if such movie can be produce I belief every tribe has the right to be proud of thier own dialect at least this is one of the thing i'm so proud of about the Yoruba actors acting films in thier dialect despite i'm not Yoruba I love their film and i'm so proud of them to be honest. Let Ijaw goes on produce their own film and let other tribes join and give us something a bit different to be honnest all these Nollywood films are turning to craps and very boring because all are same line of story in different making. Our culture and dialect are our pride, our identity and our legacy. God bless. |
Re: Nollywood To Start Producing Ijaw Films by wandeay: 11:26am On Sep 12, 2012 |
They said the movies will be produced in ijaw language, so expect something like; Egberi Mene Sekrime Jonah, Pelekrime Patiencee, Otuagha Otuoke Niger Delta Creek, etc |
