N'wood Vs Bollywood: Which Is Close To Hollywood In Technical N Creative Quality by Nobody: 6:21pm On May 11, 2008 |
All this shoddy trash we call films what are they in creative content and technical production. Lets mirror this showbiz wasteland called Nollywood against Hollywood |

Because the answer is obvious, right? Visually (cinematography. set design) Bollywood is very close to Hollywood. |

The reason Bollywood is so successful: they generate so much money from their movies locally. |

Why now, this kind trickery is not good oooh! Your topic got me all riled up for nothing. I thought you were asking a legit question. JJYOU: Tee hee hee!! |
Re: N'wood Vs Bollywood: Which Is Close To Hollywood In Technical N Creative Quality by SisiJinx: 6:11pm On Jan 14, 2009 |
Just to be clear, I think Nollywood is better. I like how the stories never make sense and how the actors always seem to be acting off the cuff. . . it leaves room for creativity and boy do they get creative. I like how they allow anyone to act, I imagine they just go to a market place and say "We dey do movie for yonder ooh, who wan act? Oya follow. . . wait, wait first you get your own shirt and trouser? Good! Good! Oya come na you go be lead actor" I like the painstaking effort they put in their special effects, I suspect grinding chalk for white hair (for old age) and charcoal for the face (For scary face) is not an easy task. I saw Benjamin Button a few weeks ago and I almost died laughing at the shoddy work they did in aging and younging Brad Pitt. . . Honestly, what was that??!!! I like how they don't bother to edit the mistakes, this fantastic effect ensures that the audience knows they are watching a movie. All that Movie transporting you to another world crapola is overrated jare. I like how we can hear people in the background talking and yelling at one another. . . because it makes us know the characters we see on TV are real not cartoon even though their acting is cartoonish at best. I like how the sound track is always blasting away despite the fact that the actors are talking. Because of this, I have learnt to spin the (volume) dial. . . I am this close to coming out with my own Remix Hit. Look out!! In Short, I like Nollywood because it teaches. . . Yeah, It teaches how NOT to ever, ever, even if your life depends on it ever make movies. Thank you Nollywood! More grease to your collective elbows. |

Re: N'wood Vs Bollywood: Which Is Close To Hollywood In Technical N Creative Quality by lucabrasi(m): 9:18pm On Jan 14, 2009 |

Re: N'wood Vs Bollywood: Which Is Close To Hollywood In Technical N Creative Quality by SisiJinx: 10:47pm On Jan 14, 2009 |

Re: N'wood Vs Bollywood: Which Is Close To Hollywood In Technical N Creative Quality by JJYOU: 10:14am On Jan 15, 2009 |
Sisi Jinx:thank you my dear. i trust you to always bail me out. i cant remember the title of one they showed 2 different expensive family homes. one had a scene of someone sleeping on the same bed with same blanket after they have shown 10yrs later. the other had same furniture same flowers and wall calendar after 10yrs. to crown it up yesternight they couldnt bother covering pillows showing the name of a hotel on okpanam road, asaba. imagine being asked why nigerian hotels write names on pillows because of nollywood. it is good they make you laugh but my fear is they are giving our country a very bad name. |
Re: N'wood Vs Bollywood: Which Is Close To Hollywood In Technical N Creative Quality by lucabrasi(m): 2:10pm On Jan 15, 2009 |
and you r 100% absolutely sure she is 19yrs old or you assumed she looked like a 19yrs old, just an observation as nollywood movies dont state the age of their artiste unless you personally know the "teenage girl"involved |
Re: N'wood Vs Bollywood: Which Is Close To Hollywood In Technical N Creative Quality by vescucci(m): 2:30pm On Jan 15, 2009 |
Haba! I came here full of venom and couldn't find anybody to spit it at. When Sisi says up, just hear down. You'll get used to it. |

Is it not better to create your own style or be original than 2 copy someone. When will u people stop dis useless comparison between hollywood & nollywood just 2 ridicule the latter. Who does not know that all those effects they use in hollywood are fake but u still enjoy and believe them. Besides is America and India not far advanced in technology and in their economy than Nigeria and Africa in general. So what are all dis baseless arguements abt. It is either u choose 2 watch nollywood or hollywood. Afterall no one will put a gun 2 your head to watch what u detest. I like all the industries cos they're all unique in their own ways but I'll choose nollywood over both hollywood and bollywood combined. Don't hollywood also glorify indiscriminate sex,nudity and violence etc which has contributed immensely 2 all these social vices in the society. |

@Sisi kill and Vesc, i miss u guys o'. Sisi, you no go kill me, that your "i love Nollywood" post was classic, keep it coming. @dolly9, abeg abeg, listen to yourself for a minute. If you did that occasionally you'd know better. dolly9: Hollywood effects are fake? i bet you still wet your pants when you watch some of the killer stuff they've done, you know why? Cos u were convinced. It looked real didn't it? I saw a hit and run accident in a nollywood movie the other day, long story short, my appendix burst. haba now, you sef know say them no try. India far advanced? Do you know India is still considered a third world country? What the hell are we 9th world? Did kunle Afolayan shoot figurine in India? Hollywood glorify violence? Wow, i guess all the cultism, armed robbery, hired killings, ritual killings, etc that i've been seeing in Nollywood movies are all Hollywood imports right? Nobody is saying "don't watch nollywood" but haba, you sef know say we get far far faaaaar to go, so don't hate on people that say it. Blame the people doing it. Shikena. |

I've seen some Nigerian films that are even better than Indian films in terms of storyline. Indian films just have good picture and technical quality but their films are still very much lacking in terms of storyline. Not all Hollywood movies are superb. I've seen some Hollywood films that has little or no visual effects but are good in terms of storyline. |
Re: N'wood Vs Bollywood: Which Is Close To Hollywood In Technical N Creative Quality by vescucci(m): 3:25pm On May 03, 2010 |
Dolly9 rhymes with. . . . . if I say F, you say O, another man say L, omo na you sabi. My guy Thirdborn has already stole my thunder. Fake effects. I nearly burst a gut on that one. Maybe I should see this Figurine thing. I've not seen Jenifa yet either. I'm a hopeless hater |
