We
have wonderfully talented dancers in the Nigerian youth, yet the best a
director came up with, was with Ramsey Nouah and Rita Dominic… two people with,
perhaps no history of dance whatsoever! The movie was senseless! I could go on
and on about this thing, then again, will they listen? Won’t they go ahead and
lift the story line of a Bollywood movie and do a sorry remake of it? We have
access to the best media technology as it advances, yet some directors prefer
to record on VHS cassettes ignoring the advanced options… I want to be an actress… I want so badly to be one! But most times
I cringe when I see how stars interpret their roles… It almost looks like they
don’t have a clue what the character is about. That gives me a headache!
People
have jeered at me to stop criticizing Nollywood and feature in my own movie so
they can see how I’d fare, but that on its own is an entirely different ball
game. I don’t want to act as someone’s younger sister or daughter of a single
parent or all that crap. Puuh-lease! I am young and edgy and upbeat and I love ‘Twilight’.
I guess I just told you the kind of script I am looking out for; I love ‘A walk
to Remember’, movies that will pull families to the cinemas with hankies and
tissues and so much love to go around. I was so moved by that President
Goodluck Jonathan contributed a huge sum of money into the movie industry and
honestly as much as I want a wad for myself. I pray doors will be opened these
directors and producers and for them to find sponsors and make Nollywood
serious competition for Hollywood. This will step up their game and MS Word
will correct nollywood to Nollywood and we’ll all live happily ever after. THE END!... Or is it the other way round? LoL!
