jennylove7575: I still stood my grounds that the name "Nollywood" made the nigeria movie industry look mediocre and exposed to underrating. That name should be changed to NIGERIA CINEMA. For once we should be proud of what we have. All this unnecessary borrowed foreign names wannabe we are fond of copying, ain't good for business. The name Nollywood made the movie industry look third class, over the top, unserious, lack of confidence in our product and a child's play. Nigeria movie industry need support to grow, its an obvious fact. But they should start by using their head to work. Too many illiterates with goofy talents are dwelling in the industry. The "me first" tradition in the industry ain't helping matters either... sycamore: it has been scientifically* proven the Nollywood Movies reduce your IQ^BEST 2 COMMENTS SO FAR InvertedHammer: /As usual your comments are not only hilariously on point but out of this world.

dabossman:Cheap mentality? Is that the term used for a fellow who simply ask to get good movies produced in his/her country at a desent prize? My point is...the industry is seen as crappy cos the number of crappy movies is so much dat it supersedes the good movies for a 90-10 ratio.If not for anything there should be a balance. Its more annoying that the so called good movies of nowadays tries too hard to convey african messenge from a western point of view.What happened to the good old village type movies showcasing our culture like the Igodos and the Ijeles? |

londoner:I understand ur point but i think u don't understand mine.I never said movies should be given to the public for free.There are a lot of cheap nollywood movies out there,for example, when i walk into a video store, what i see most are cheap crappy NW movies,Meanwhile the good movies are scarce.Now my point is,how can u regard a movie industry when the good movies are always scarce? |

Well, they are not scarce.....they are just more secure and harder to pirate. That is why you don't see them for 100 naira in your local store and to me, that's a good thing. If people want to watch the better movies, why not pool resources and pitch in for the better ones and watch them with friends that would like to watch? Start a video club and you will be able to watch all the movies you want, without breaking the law to do it. Then everyone is happy and no one is cheated. |

londoner:I have a question for u bro...Do u agree with me that numbers of crappy NW movie are way more numbers of NW good movies? If yes,i think its safe to say that NW is messed up.If NO,then i guess u wanna live in denial which IMO is not good for the good of the industry.We need to task these people to make good movies.More good movies should be made,we don't lack anything to hinder us from making it happen. |

I'm a sister by the way. In ALL movie industries, crappy movies outweigh the good ones. I will also add that I am seeing a marked distinction and a new sprouting in Nollywood away from the old. Consisting of increasingly better scripts , coupled with better (and new) acting talent, directing and visual/audio. I'm very happy that the industry is turning a corner and have the patience to let change take shape in the time it needs to. You can't really task anyone to do anything, especially when you are not prepared to pay for their hard work. 1 Like |

Djicemob: Who rents a NW movie for #1000? Those crappy movies don't exceed #100 to rent. Yes, and when you pack 10 of that to watch in a week, or one every day of the week, how much does that add up to? 3,000-4,000? How is that different from me going to watch a movie every other weekend at Silverbird? The standard process for blockbuster movies in the US is to first go to the cinemas. Most movies don't become available on DVD until about 3-6 months after the cinema release. And a recent movie DVD costs about $15 (N2,400). Good movies are not readily available in the neighbourhood because of the activities of pirates. Most good producers would rather give their movies to IrokoTV, IbakaTV, Dobox and so on after cinema screenings in Nigeria, UK and Us so they can at least recoup their investment. They have families to feed too you know. 1 Like |

Djicemob: Cheap mentality? Is that the term used for a fellow who simply ask to get good movies produced in his/her country at a desent prize? I apologize for the jibe. I meant no offence to your person. But you should know that pricing is a factor of production cost. You can't spend so much on a movie and then sell it at a price that will not ensure some measure of profit. As I also stated earlier, there is a ready market for those crappy movies and that is a fact. That is why some Hollywood producers will continue to produce them. The grassroot folks are lapping it up. And you will never stopping seeing such. Those of us who want better quality will have to settle for the very few good ones available or continue to enjoy our Hollywood movies. Finally, the Igodos and Ijeles are period pieces. You can't expect all Nollywood movies to depict us as raffia skirt wearing, bare-chested people. Shouldn't some movies depict our present day, highly westernized lifestyle. No one is saying Nollywood is there yet; far from it, the industry is still scratching the surface, but there are signs that there will be improvement 1 Like |

Djicemob: I think the answer is not far fetched. the most garbage movie industry in the world. Filled with sh.it and more sh.it. My problem is mostly wif the fact dat they don't even no the meaning of the art of cinema. How many of them even go to film schools or school of performing arts? Directors and actors alike. One bloody banker would wake up one day and say dat he wants to enter the entertainment industry then start churning out RUBBISH in the name of movies. F.uck dem |

Djicemob: So u mean a poor man doesn't have the right to a good movie too? why must a movie be made in my country and i have to go the cinema before i can see it How do you think Americans see the "movies made in their own country" - by going to the cinemas paying a small amount per person or buying pirated copies and staying home to watch |
Re: Is Nollywood A Worthy Movie-industry? by anonimi: 8:46pm On Sep 01, 2014 |
Djicemob: All i'm saying is NW needs to improve.I don't know but there should be some kinda board regulating the industry to save us from those thrash we see everywhere.More like a central regulatory board to receive every movie on completion for assessment,and if its not up to standard shouldn't be allowed release.Even if we make ten movies for the whole year and they are good,no problem. It seems you are too LAZY to use your purchasing POWER to influence the production of good movies that you want as clearly explained to you already. Why is anyone forcing you or some other person to watch what you yourself have described as crappy films No regulatory board should control what standard of movies are allowed to go out or not. Their business is to ensure movies are APPROPRIATELY CLASSIFIED for viewing age and ban those that are completely outrageous. The MARKET made up of sundry consumers like you will determine (over time) what quality/standard DOMINATES in the industry. P.S: If they do not bring the good movies to show in cinemas in your base- (Abuja?), then you can travel over a weekend to where they have them showing in cinemas.

tonyayo1: O.P, one word for you; you are still into 'old NW movies,' or maybe you've not heard about new NW? If your answer is no, bros you still dey very far... We all know that NW churns out 99% of crappy movies, but we produce 1% of good ones and they are under the new NW production. I haven't seen upto 10 new NW movies, why? 'Cause there are no cinemas in Aba, and that hurts. So let me kinda prove you wrong base on the movies (new NW) I've seen, it's nothing personal o, and I must add: please please biko stop watching those old NW movies, it's unhealthy to watch them. So... Ok I get it. |

I maintain though that there are movies with good stories, which never gained as much fame as some of these crappy films. We need many things, which include the word 'help' in the NMI! |
