24 Things We've Learnt From Nollywood by Gamine(f): 4:54pm On Oct 16, 2007 |
1. Every problem you have is spiritual. 2. In every romance movie, someone must die. 3. It is possible to hit a person without actually touching them! 4. Anyone who gets hit by a car dies immediately. 5. Poisoned food always tastes better. 6. The best way to make money is by visiting a 'Babalawo' / joining a cult / sleeping with rich men. 7. One of a pair of twins (identical or not) is born evil. 8. There is never an end to your suffering, except death! 9. With a pastor , all things are possible. 10. A movie can be titled anything, such as: *The boy is mine, * Face me, I face you *Two rats, *Spanner, *Calculator, *Igala, *Ijele, *Igodo, *Igudu * Shigidi 11. A movie has not been made if at least one actor/actress has not- 'shelled', twisted his/her lips to speak wrong phonetics'. 12. You are in love, you want to take your girl out, the best place you take her to is, * Mr. Biggs/Tantalizers : where you'll most probably see an ex , while feeding each other. * The beach : where it is imperative that you ride a donkey and carry her playfully. * Or the best : take her to buy some new ugly clothes. 13. An Igbo movie has been made if , * You visit a 'Babalawo' * A fleet of cars is shown off at regular intervals for a total of half of the movie time. * Kanayo 'O' Kanayo is in the movie. Pete Udochie is also there too! * To get rich it is mandatory you join a cult 14. Gun shots and knock-outs sound the same! 15. Sometimes the title has absolutely nothing to do with the movie and other times, once you read the title and see the poster you know it all!!! (Also the soundtrack gives you a headache because it just narrates the whole story repeatedly - so much for suspense and intrigue !) 16. A love story has not been produced if it does not have one or two of the following actresses: * Stella Damascus * Stephanie Okereke * Genevieve Nnaji * Omotola Jalade * Rita Dominic 17. The police are extremely 'efficient' unlike their counterparts in real life. 18. An actress can wear the same hairdo for more than a year and even in longer flashbacks. 19. It is permissible to wear very dark shades at night! 20. When you are shot in the chest, it really doesn't matter; your head will be bandaged! Same for your legs! 21. When advertising a movie, you really should shout because, people are deaf? 22. When you are extremely poor, you will still be able to afford- very good furniture, T.V., but you won't be able to send your kids to school . 23. Most especially in Yoruba movies, your gateman must be inefficient and comical. He MUST dress like a freak, be rude to all your visitors and never mind his business. 24. the bad guy always dies or gets caught by none other than the police- LOL!!!!! |

Wow, Gamine. I'd say you ripped the thoughts out of my mouth if it didn't sound like a cliche. It was pleasurable to read and also largely true. I've since stopped bothering with them movies, it's now just a matter of stumble upon for me to watch 15 minutes of any nollywood movie. At least the soaps have hope. But me? A collosal fan of Hollywood! |

After all these, u'll still hear some liars saying nollywood is the third best in the world. |
Re: 24 Things We've Learnt From Nollywood by vescucci(m): 11:08am On Oct 30, 2007 |
They should specify that it's the third best in terms of quantity. Sheer bulk of rubbish, but the rubbish is selling! A pity! |

You forgot to add that the soundtrack, sorry music in the film tells you the story of the film. |

Nollywood taught how to write and shoot a movie all in one day (Its called "Write as u shoot") How else would they have come up with all the brilliant rubbish been produced |
Re: 24 Things We've Learnt From Nollywood by Seun(m): 4:33pm On Nov 23, 2007 |
Filmmaking is not easy. Producing even what you call "rubbish" takes a lot of skill and dedication. I don't blame Nigerians; it's because you're getting pirated VCDs $100m Hollywood movies for peanuts. |
