You're one tribalistic bastard and a retar[b]d[/b] joined together.
Look at your post. If you really wanted a good response, why the use of the "so called nollywood films.(mofo can't even spell nollywood)
Drag your sorry assz to the tribalism section!
Congo!

Both are useless but i'll pick the English films anyday. The Yoruba producers have to do something about their cameras and subtitles. It sucks.

Btw, i can see some tribalism in the air.

That's the reason nollywood film will never win the oscars award. its poor budget,low quality can never compete with the best..nollywood is the second largest film industry in the world..they have nothing to show for it..south africa , egypt film av won oscars for their efforts...so wat are we talking about

Nobody remembers those oscar winners though from Egypt(which is not a black african country) and south africa which is controlled by white south africans; wasn't the movie from south africa made from a white south african. You are right budget, quality and etc is a problem for Nollywood however being slowly being combated and Bollywood had the same beginning as well and progressed, but the ones being known when it comes to Africa are not the winners of Oscars from the Arab country of Egypt(which doesn't count) or south africa. Apparently Nollywood has something to show for since they have been interviewed by the New york times and CNN multiple times, including documentaries. So it depends on the way you look at it. The bitter truth is the Oscars will never put Africa out there for Black africans or Africans on the map, they may acknowledge a movie from a person from a arab nation in Africa or south africa(that represents themselves not Africa) but they don't represent Sub-Saharan Africa like Nollywood does. The Oscars is not the savor for Black africans and will never be, it helps to win a oscar though but doesn't represent a demographic.

Some Yoruba actors can construct a good sentence in english but who cares. It's Yoruba movies for Yoruba audience and nobody wants to know if they can speak any other language. But i still beleive Yoruba movies have a long way to go.

Nollywood is now crap, often showcasing ignorance as the order of the day. They've simply ran out of ideas, always focusing on kingship movies. Lead roles are now played by a prince or princess. No more reality in the movies. Just tired of same storyline with different titles. Most of these movies are always concluded in another movie with different title.

Even in the rooms, you'd see these bunch still adorned in their full royal regalia. When last have you seen a princess or prince being escorted on the street with vikings as the bodyguards.

It is called Nollywood (Nigerian Movies) and not Igbowood. Perhaps they should also act movies based on different culture and not just the igbo culture.

Now I prefer Yoruba ones, to the English films. Most of the Nollywood stars don't act anymore and too many parts for one simple story.

They are both hideous

Yoruba

*The story-line seems unrealistic (e.g. you draw up written contract and gbam!!! you awarded a $150m contract)
*Romance is always between a grand-dad or senior citizen and student
*someone always snatch another person's partner by the lure of money or voodoo
*People shout when they speak
*Poor sound editing
*Poor production


English

*Poor story-line
*Poor acting
*copied story-line
*poor directing
*Boring sound editing

You are right to some extent...yoruba film is more of african setting.so voodoo is part of our culture in africa...

I would say yoruba because they are creative with their storylines and titles but on the other hand thinking of the movie "Jenifa" makes me lean towards the English but the thoughts "Blackberry babes" well f*ck them both
