Just as it is with products that are imported from European, Asian countries and the USA are always highly rated in comparison to those that are produced in Nigeria even if they may have same quality and may even be cheaper - the Nollywood movies are always thought of as inferior when compared to Hollywood movies and we find all kinds of name to kill the brand like there's no story line, It's predictable from the beginning of the movie, but we forget that the budget on Hollywood movies may be as high as 150,000,000 USD which is because they are funded by various banks, companies and investors. What would have happened if the Nigeria movie industry could have even less than 20% of the kind of sponsorship they receive - It would have been revolutionary considering what they achieve with the little they have currently.
SCENES THAT ALSO SHOW THAT HOLLYWOOD MOVIES ARE PREDICTABLE
This lock down period have made me watch many Hollywood movies and i noticed similarities in movies, scenes, plot and predicted some scenes which always are repeated.
1. The American cop suddenly becomes more informed and lethal about a case which they've been pursing for a while without any progress or success mostly when they've been suspended and asked to go home or on forced vacation for some weeks, months, indefinitely suspended or even fired and are called back or asked to rejoin the force after they must have burst or cracked a big crime syndicate, cartel or drug lord with lots of applause and celebration
2. Most Music or dance group always have one person in the group that dances better or sings better but will leave the group close to a very important competition with no hope in sight the group will still push to partake in the competition only for the star boy or girl to appear from no where at the last minute and welcomed back by the group which in most cases become the cynosure of all eyes and wins the competition for the group with a lot of celebration.
3. During combat scenes the protagonist or actor as we like to call it in trying to rescue is family member(s) that have been held captive, wife or girl friend, the protagonist would've beaten everyone and killed the enemies who are now on the floor seemingly dead only for him or her to be shot or the person(s) he rescued because the person was yet to die and in most cases that's when several bullets will be riddled on the villain or boss that now dies and surrenders.
4. Most times any family member that the Protagonist visit when being searched after by the villain(boss) end up dying which then suddenly spurs the Protagonist to action as he becomes more prepared to win the next battle scene
5. The girl friend to the protagonist will only realize that she can't do without him and she's in love with him when he is about to leave for another country and in most cases that's when she will run under heavy rain fall to meet him in the airport or take a cab to stop him from leaving
6. There's always exist a wicked bully to a freshman in high school who after many beating will become friends because he fought back or was able to win the heart of the students for being too intelligent or making a striking discovery.
7. Bullets in the Gun most of time finishes when the people left are the protagonist(actor) and the Villain(boss) so that they can have the long awaited fisticuffs and combat each other to the death
