preserve our african pride

i thank God for nollywood. pls i would like you to tell them that we are africans and not americans. it looks so vulgar and out of place when you see them doing french kisses and fondling women's breast on screen. i think we should be copying the professionalism in script writing, editing, and casting from hollywood and not the dirty things about them. its really appalling since these days some story lines dont make any sense and you just see them kissing. we africans dont do that in public so they should stop potraying us in white culture. i live in England and many whites admire the sanctity of africans so why do we want to lose it trying to become hollywood where there are no moral values. the best we can be is a counterfiet, so why dont we professionalise in being ourselves?
i believe they can portray sex scenes and we will understand without them going too far. i must tell you that this extremism is the reason why marriages dont last in hollywood and even actors like will smith these days avoids any extremes except with his wife in movies just to keep his home safe. they hardly have settled homes these days in nollywood too. i hope we remember mr. and mrs. smith who ended up in real life breaking the guy's marriage.
pls let them be in the fore front of preserving our culture and decency through moderation and not destroying it . I really love lancelot imasuen but was disgusted in one recent movie i saw and it was just about indirectly showing us they have stepped forward now since they now do kisses and foreplay in films. i think that was a step forward in the wrong direction.
Cheers
