Ghallywood/Ghollywood and Kumawood are the two main movie industries
in Ghana at the moment. One cannot disprove the fact that producers
within these two industries are doing well. In the course of time, some
experienced producers churn out movies that are well structured and
interesting to watch. At other times, some of these movies are just as
bad as garbage.
There seems to be a clear-cut distinction between these two movie
industries. While Ghollywood pays much attention to love, Kumawood on
the other hand focuses mainly on comedy. It becomes mundane when a
particular approach is used over and over again without employing new
techniques.
Ghollywood is Synonymous With ‘Love’
A critical observation of Ghollywood movies will draw ones attention
to nothing but love. Over countless movies that I have watched from this
industry all focus on love, or better still romance. Romantic movies
often place emphasis on passion, emotion, and the affection two lovers
(mainly the main characters) display to each other. Just like in our
everyday love life that one goes through dating, courtship, and marries
in the end, so it is with love movies.
Take time and watch most Ghollywood movies for yourself. Almost, if
not all, fall into the category of romance. The ever one-way of telling
such stories in movies is increasing rapidly. If a person does not fight
another person because the first has snatched the lover, then it’s
probably going to be a family opposing the marriage of two lovers.
Without doubt, Ghollywood film-makers have proven to be love experts.
Take them to that field, and they will surely beat you to that.
Kumawood and Its Obsession for Comedy
Let’s direct our attention to the ‘almighty’ Kumawood. How can you
possibly watch a Kumawood movie and not laugh? The titles of the movies
themselves can make you laugh your heart out. One movie title in itself
is a complete sentence, if not a paragraph.
Pioneers of the Akan-speaking movies like Agya Koo are people who
started their careers as comedians. The act of creating humour was
however utilized in their movies. This course has repetitively gone up
till this day. With the introduction of some acts like Kwaku Manu and
Lil Win, production of comic movies has increased tremendously.(…)
