@@aframaco9491 I get that but I'm not from Nigeria. I love white people for one thing, they are united unlike African people. We should have our own African Entertainment industry that incorporates all Africans. We should tell our own unique stories embracing each other.
It’s rather unfortunate we glorify Hollywood as a bed of roses but the pipeline entails a lot more than what are portrayed in front of the cameras. How about this: take out the ‘wood’ from the movie industries. I don’t think we understand the Hollywood in the first place.
See. When people say those who tell our stories wrong are "ignorant" I find it annoying. They are not ignorant. They have an agenda to keep showing Africa as beneath them. Like we say in Nigeria, we all know what we are doing. I hope Genevieve Nnaji starts churning out the stories they didn't allow her to tell.
How do you create Hollywood without basic infrastructure? Our people live in a different reality. We don't have electricity, running water, motorable roads, solid film schools, acting schools, or film studios. The style of storytelling in both industries is different. The standards in Hollywood are the best, so entry is difficult. Besides, there is a lot of money at stake. It's good that she is trying to approach her storytelling from an original perspective, but these guys here will not take unmitigated risks. They do the same with their own films. Hollywood is a business at the end of the day. Most filmmakers have to go through the same process of negotiating with the studios to stay true to the vision of their project.
Mmmmh, better to exclude that "we" that narration of yours is what hollywood have of Africa which is actually not true! In comparison how many households do not have running water or electricitu in your country?!
She wants to tell her story authentically. That's what she said. You crawl before walking. Y'all always gotta point to something anti-us... Do your part! You throw away what you tear down. You shun those who always find faults with you. Think about that. Build. Build. Build. Pride/patriotism goes long ways. Dangote will still be gun down in USA/West. Ask yourself, why is it so... ENOUGH!
Well said. And to be honest, her movie is mediocre. She had a good storyline, but the execution (not the acting) was poor. For instance, the business model she displayed on PowerPoint. They should have consulted real business executives to give them one. Look at Greys Anatomy for instance, the medical diagnosis and treatments actually made sense
@Ladymoses - Why are you comparing Lionheart with Greys Anatomy?? Is Lionheart Transport company not a local transport company in the south east... Abi you want them to be unrealistic?
Girl, wake up. Even well established, TALENTED, African-American actors and actresses arent given their dues, what or who made you think you would?🤷🏾♀
That is the biggest issues with Hollywood, I am a script writer, give your script to a producer, they would CHANGES MOST of the wording to make it to suit their idea, so, actual, the Script is no longer yours.
@@isabellezionchipochaishe7103 you spoke my mind, and there were rumours the movie was considering nomination for oscars ( best foreign movie ), good thing it was not selected. Genny star power, just gave the movie a name.
The mere fact the you call your industry Nollywood can only make you a commodity. Being copy cats, flooding the film industry with subpar films and expecting to be treated with the at most respect is naive to say the least.
Copy cats of what? Do you watch original African movies or do you intentionally look out for the fakes, and then want to castigate the entire industry for it?
@@ladytamara1503Not copycats in the movies, but in the names. It would have been more authentic if we did not name our Industry nollywood. I love how iroko TV gave themselves that name. I will also like to see us nigerians grow our own award shows too, if Grammy gives us awards good, but let us not be crazy about Grammy.
@@ladytamara1503He is right the Word "Wood" was copied. We Could have just called Our industry Wazobia Nation. We didn't even feel the urge to be creative.
I think in the first place, people do not understand the name Hollywood. It’s about time movie industries stopped adapting the ‘wood’ to their industries.
To be honest, the movie was mediocre. I kept covering my face in shame and struggled to watch to the end. The actors tried, she had a good storyline but was poorly developed
Let me get this straight, you went to Hollywood from Nigeria to change it's existing culture... lol. Who gave you that idea in the first place? Just curious.
