ENTERTAINMENTBasketmouth slams filmmakers for failing to showcase Nigeria’s culture in movies
Renowned comedian and filmmaker Bright Okpocha, aka Basketmouth, has accused some colleagues of neglecting to showcase Nigeria’s rich cultural legacy in their cinematic productions.
The movie star claimed that most of the epic movies released recently neglect the country’s culture.
Basketmouth stated in an interview with Hip TV that filmmakers missed opportunities to showcase Nigeria’s culture positively.
He commented, “I am convinced that we still have a chance to make things right. Nevertheless, the majority of filmmakers wasted the opportunity to showcase our culture, producing films that were more akin to stage plays than epic cinematic experiences.”
While watching most of the epic movies, I was disappointed.
You guys blew a great opportunity but let’s hope we still have another chance to seize it.
I’m sorry, only very few movies have impressed me so far. I believe that we can do more.”
