    Nollywood directors please, you have to stop

    directors or whomever his/her job it is, need to stop stretching their flashbacks. We suddenly havent gone amnestic to remember what happened just mins ago in part one for them to show the whole thing AGAIN in the name of flashing back our memory thats why i love Izu Ojukwu. just give us hint of it and dash out. it shudnt take more than 10secs if its something we have seen before because trust me, we know exactly what happened 15mins ago!!!! it will be nice to be creative with it by showing us flashbacks of what we havent seen to avoid boring us out. its really fraustrating and tiring to watch. I am sorry but i have to call one director out on this. This is only because i had just seen this movie (i actually bought it becos he is the director) but i was disappointed by how his guns in the movie shot as well as his long flashback scenes that we just saw already in prt one of teh movie! I am talkin about the one and only Osita Okoli who directed "A kiss from Rose". i mean, its a 2004 movie but i am just watchin it. Thankfully, i already seen his movie "Sweet tomorrow" which i love so much! he did an amazing job directing that movie and i will continue to support him as far as he doesnt repeat same mistakes!! other directors please take note cos he is not the only one.

    I believe everyone on this board that have watched at least 10 Nigerian movies would have live through that experience.

    Why are you hating?

    Your comments are drenched in haterade?

    Where's your own film so you can show us how to do flashbacks?
