When a movie like AVATAR comes out with a budget of $500 million, and the average "Nollywood" movie has a budget of $30,000, how can they compete?! Abeg! |

Actually it is hollywood that can not compete with us. Indeed we are producing good quality with much less money. hollywood is using alot of money to produce a lot of nonsense. To sell their unfit production they add a lot of sexual content and a lot of violence contributing in the creation of a society of pyschopaths. hollywood is also sponsored by the US military which has been using it to produce brain washing propaganda since WW2. Israel is over present in Hollywood and uses it to controle america and american politics. |

Got a shocking revelation that made me eat my previous statement on this post. BCuZiMBlaCk:Apparently, African-Americans and even liberal americans watch nigerian movies, as hard as that was for me to believe, cos i'm an advocate of "most (not all, but a huge lot) of nigerian movies are crap", some Americans watch our crap. lol |

The threads article is about the Nollywood vs. Black Hollywood not Nollywood vs. Hollywood. The Black Hollywood & Hollywood industry are different Whats Black Hollywood? or are you refering to African-American movies or movies acted by African American actresses/actors? because theirs no industry called black hollywood, may be theirs a group of association called Black Hollywood but thiers no legally recognised industry called black Hollywood, because legally Black Hollywood is the name of an record Album |

baby-boy: well the african american movie industry is called Black Hollywood, to describe their movies, actors, directors, and etc |

baby-boy: true but movies made by and portraying african american culture is called that; the word doesn't legally exist but it is used to refer to movies made by the black american demographic. Tyler Perry is considered Black hollywood for example |

Tyler Perry is considered Black hollywood for example What potrays African American culture in the movies below Big momma's house For Colored Girls Why Did I Get Married Too? Abduction Things Fall Apart Gun Caught in the Crossfire |
Re: Is Nollywood Rivaling Black Hollywood? by anonymous6(f): 12:38pm On Dec 02, 2011 |
baby-boy: for colored girls, big momma's house, why did I get married too; are based on african american culture & are black Hollywood movies, especially "for Colored girls" that was based on a african american play. For Colored Girls "Structurally, For Colored Girls is a series of 20 poems, collectively called a "choreopoem." Shange's poetry expresses the many struggles and obstacles that African-American women face throughout their live" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/For_Colored_Girls_Who_Have_Considered_Suicide_When_the_Rainbow_Is_Enuf Abduction is not even a black Hollywood movie or based on african american culture, the only african american presence is the director. When I say Black hollywood, I mean Tyler Perry movies for example where the director, cast, and etc are black and the plot centers around black american culture. I never seen the other three movies but I read a little on "Caught in the Crossfire", and it seems like a gangster movie to me.
