Nigerian movie industry has grown immensely over the years.
But to say the least, even with all the growth, there are only a few movies
that are void of stupid mistakes and errors. Mistakes that could have easily
been avoided.
Most of my friends (at least Icons) know that I am a
Nollywood activist. For a few days, I shall be analyzing a few Nollywood movies
with some of these mistakes that our dear filmmakers could have easily avoided.
In the movie Phone Swap, a rich dude mistakenly 'swaps
phones' with an ordinary tailor (she calls herself a fashion designer). The
dude has a BB Bold 5 and the babe, a BB Bold 1. Naturally, if they swap phones,
is the guy not supposed to have the Bold 1 and the girl, the Bold 5? Well to
answer that, they did have the two phones for a few scenes but after that, the
guy starts to use a BB Curve 2 but the girl still uses a Bold 5. Still as the
girl uses the Bold 5, the guy starts to use a Bold 4. Later again, they go back
to the Bold 4 and Curve 2. Lastly, the babe is seen with the same Bold 1 that
was supposed to be 'swapped'... Abeg, how possible are all these things???
Kunle Afolayan... Haba...
I still saw another movie with the same mistake, though not
so visible. This one is called Blackberry Babes (BBB). This came out when
Blackberry was the rave of the moment. It tells the story of a group of girls
who think owning a Blackberry is a do or die affair and they try in every way
possible to get it. One of the girls, Nicole (Sugar Asoegwu) steals a BB Tour
from her cousin, just to attain the necessary BB status. Her cousin comes to
campus, disgraces her and collects the phone (see wetin BB don cause?). Anyway,
it is quite notable that this BB Tour has a blue pouch. After the phone has
been taken away from her, Damisa (Oge Okoye) her friend, is kind enough to give
her a BB Curve 2 with a red pouch (Better Step up Abi?). Later on we find her
using a Bold 2 with the same red pouch. Can somebody please explain to me how a
Curve 2 turned to a Bold 2? Again, we see Damisa with a BB Bold 2 and Nicole
calls it a Bold 3. Does the director think we don't the difference between a
Bold 2 and a Bold 3?
Maybe they think that all of us don't have sense o, so they
can just play on our intelligence abi???
Just so you know filmmakers, people like us have our eyes on
you. I will bring you more analysis in "Which Way Nollywood???"(2).
Lol Onofu but blackberry na blackberry na
