Vince, just gettin off track a lil bit, do you really think juju movies are not that captivating? How about juju with drama combined together, like Ti oluwa ni ile and others? I think they are classic!
Depends on how it is used in the plot.You see this is what juju does to a story if it is not used properly and is allowed to be too dominant,it kills it.Why?Because it renders the main xter/s passive or at worst dormant,and when the main xters of a story is rendered passive the story dies.
In scripting,to create a very intriguing and captivating plot you have to keep your main xter/s active,fighting to reach whatever goals they set for themselves by using their own wits,willpower and courage to overcome whatever obstacles that are lying between them and their goal.
All we viewers do is now to watch step by step,scene for scene,sequence fro sequence how they overcome all these obstacles.This is where the intrigue comes from.We want to see how they actively achieve their goals.
But when juju is used to achieve a goal in an instant without the xters ever having to lift a finger to do anything,what do you as a viewer have left to watch?Nada!What follows is nothing but sheer boredom.Think about that.
Why do you think hollywood movies are so great to watch?
