As we all know the Nigeria movie industry has lots problems, starting from the scripts to the acting, the directing, the actions and the worse of it all is the editing. These days one story is repeated in the same way, same actions and sometimes the same characters. This problem does not just lies on the movie crew but also to the fans.
The colonies who brought film making into existence only add a part two to a story when the part one was good and fans keep asking for more of it, but in Nollywood it is never like, part two is a continuation from the part one. It will even be better if the story ends in part two, sometime it gets to five and six. (When it is not a series movie). I am not writing to criticize the hard work they are putting together to keep the industry going but trying to let them we are never going to hit to the top of the word film industry if we continue with so many wacked productions.
I am here to talk to the fans, not the film crew. A movie ends with the good guy dyeing or loosing; “the film nor just end well”. The Hollywood who came into existence eighty one years before the Nollywood, many times the Hollywood tells us that the good guys looses. We all know of some popular stories like Romeo and Juliet, King Arthur, Spatakus, and many more I can’t mention, which the bad guys won and the good guys loosed.
And it is also in Nollywood that the fans want to see one action or actress plays one particular character. Patient Ozokwor should always be the bed mother-in-law, wicked step-mother or witch. Olu Jacob always wears the crown (king). Jim Iyke can never fall in love. Tonto Dikeh the queen of prostitute. Osita Iheme & Chinedu Ikedieze (Aki and Paw-Paw) you already know story. Not until you watch Hollywood movies like The Mummy 3 ‘tomb of the dragon empire’ staring Jet Lie and Amazing spider man 2 staring Jamie Foxx you can’t just tell who the bad guy.
I thought of it, and I came to realize that the fans are also the cause of this things. Let’s imagine Olu Jacob becomes the right hand man servant to Ime Bishop Umoh (Okon). Or Osita Iheme and Chinedu Ikedieze are the super hero instead of the trouble makers. That is when you see the fans making comments like “the film nor just tough” (it wasn’t interesting). Why will Olu Jacob be the servant instead of king?
Let’s sometimes allow the Nollywood movie crew change things and see how it will go.
