Please dont call it Gollywood, sounds almost like Gullible
I got into blogging because of this particular subject
Ghana People come on, for Christ sake.
The other day I was thinking nollywood is a name rip off of hollywood
But I was thinking that because I forgot about bollywood. so nollywood is a rip off of a rip off.
Then I was thinking gollywood is a rip off, of a rip off, of a rip off ,but then I realised I've forgotten about tollywood.
I hear there's banglawood or something , and many that I dont care to know
Why the hell do people think the have to add wood to any madeup silly name to represent their movie industry .
Hollywood ,has a whole history behind it, please read on Google
Hollywood is a town on it's own that just happened to turn into the movie making capital due to certain economic and natural factors.
Read about how Hobart & Gigi came up with the name and why is it what it is now.
CineKrom is Great ,why ?
1. it has the word Cine which is Cinema in it
2. it has krom which translated means town in a widely spoken language in Ghana.
And this is great because we can build a whole city around it just like hollywood, purposely for this kind of thing and it's brilliant. it doesn't matter if Phamous People coined that name for a show, it can still represent a bigger thing and it will work more in their favour because history will refer to them as the guys who came up with the name and Cinekrom will be filled with famous people, so hey.
"Jesus Christ"
Imagine 100 years from now our children asks , "so why do we call it gollywood ""well the nigerians were calling it nollywood".
Maybe I'm mistaken, I am a singer myself and I learn from and take a lot from the people I've learned from and use it creatively in my own music but not in a manner that smells rip off.
I'm very happy there are ghananians like you and I thank God you are angry.I'm an aspiring film maker myself , currently I make DVD Covers for miracle films here in UKhave a look at my Facebook Profile (justhot@hotmail.co.uk)(Osei Tutu) and look at some of my work esp. Ghana films stuffif there's anything that you will suggest please , it will help me a lot as this year I'm moving back to Ghana .
LOL
once I was watching this nigerian movie.at the end they wrote.
NOLLYWOOD, shaking the very foundations of HOLLYWOOD
I just finished watching Camerons Avatar and wondering if Nigeria can do that in the next 100 years.
And if they can what will HOLLYWOOD be doing then.
This movie making is not only about Great cameras and computers and guys eager to make money.
These people think farWatch Star Trek and listen to the dialogue.Movies are meant to entertain , YES, they are also meant to Shape
But that's just me ,if there's something I've learnt is everybody is different, and we should let all be and you should always be yourself as long as yourself is great and doesn't harm anyone else including yourself.
Secondly though I design these covers for these movies I hardly watch them as I get angry right from pressing play, so i think I'm in no position to judge, and some of them are really good too, I mean they cant all be bad and Agya Koo and Nana Ama , they are great .
But I know the kind of Movies I'm gonna make.
God Help me.
