South African Movie Industry Vs Nollywood

South Africa has risen its flag very high in terms of movie industry.Two times in a row the SA movies nominated for an Oscar and this year we have just  done it.and to say the truth our movies are far much beta  compare to naija.

obong,you can'nt just admit the truth u have seen many post giving applause to our movies any way, we all have different ideas,did u c the latest for Leon Schuster (Mama Jack) its hilarious any way thats ur opinion and if somebody deserve  credit s/he must given that credit.

I'm South African and having viewed a couple of Nigeria movies(if I can call them that) my conclusion was that the industry despite the hype needed a lot of support from government if it was really to be successful.

In South Africa, people have been making movies forever but it's only in the last five years that the industry has really taken, and this was after several conferences and assistance from the private sector who recognised the economic potential of growing film industry.

On average about four/five South African movies are made every year as opposed to the thousands made in Nigeria. Movies are like a business, you write a business plan, you approach potential investors, draw up a budget and hopefully after a year you movie will be made. For instance Tsotsi took well over three years to make from scripting to it's final post production.

When people are not making movies they're kept busy with television, commercial and documentary productions which happen throughout the year.

We still can't take the praise from movie like igodo (English movie),Hostages,agogo iwo thunderbold saworoide.Despite the lack of regulation and inadequate  policies nigerian have movie have risen above the troubled water to make quality movies
it is the nigerian spirit to rise despite all ods

 WHEN YOU GO OUT TO MAKE A MOVIE YOU HAVE TO PLAN IT ALLOUT TO AVOID SCREW UPS.I MEAN I GET THIS CREEPS WHEN I WATCH SOME NOLLYWOOD STUFF.
EVER SEEN 'CARCASS", THERE WAS THIS APPALLING SCENE IN THAT WOODS WHERE A GUY GOT HIT ON HIS BALLS BY A FEMALE HE WAS ABOUT TO ASSAULT AND WATCH HIS MOVE WHEN HE IS ABOUT TO FALL IN PAIN-THIS GUY HELD HIS CROTCH LOOKED AT THE GROUND BEHIND HIM BEFORE CREASHING DOWN IN PAINS. WONDERFUL. AND YOU GUYS ARE OKAY WITH SUCH Z-CLASS ACTING. Hmmph.

Just one simple statement to the organisers of this so-called The African Movie Academy Awards, {www.ama-awards.com}

If TSOTSI does not win the award for the best film in africa category. It is then that my claims will be further established that AMAA is nothing but a piece of yearly TV comedy cocktail show, designed to bring the stardom-headfilled Nigerian actors and actresses to come show off their cheap wardrobe contents.

And by the way, maybe you don't know, tsotsi is a $5million budget south african film that won the best foreign language category in the most prestigous movie spectacle-the oscars!

if it can win at the oscars, i bet it would be a thing of priviledge to your show, for you to have it win your awards or don't you think?

the only saving grace you have is to change the name from The African Movie Academy Awards (AMAA) to The Nigerian Movie Academy Awards (NMAA). So we can know it is a full-fledged "OWAMBE" party.

I will just cross my fingers till 26th april, and when what i suspect happens, i would proceed further to spreading this throughout the media! because you people can't continue to fool us, why??? why??? but why??? the same mistakes of our leaders!!!

And by the way, i'm NIGERIAN, not south african.Infact my name is GBENGA!

i dare you organisers to repond to this mail! I already suspect that you would chicken out and not respond. Anyway, i don't need your response.

what, you think a mass produced peugot 504 is better than a limited edition porsche 911? 

Who created this thread ,Just another topic for complaining about Nigeria. Not that there is anything wrong in that, to move forward you've got to know your problems, but was this thread created so we could know what our problems are and where nollywood stands or to highlight how bad the industry is. Don't reply to my post (It may be contoversial or depicted as Idiotic, but I think it's the truth, remember don't reply to my post)
