I guess the older generation were more far-right, concerning sex and nudity, than the new generation. Even though they enjoyed it and loved it, they hated talking about it. They still hate it. It might look like hypocrisy, but context has told me it's more of a 'mental barrier' kind of problem. They acted based on what was passed on to them in their closed world. Haha...
I like to think that, today, our world is open; cultures are blending, and the typical modern Nollywood buff is very liberal and comfortable discussing sex and nudity; and that's why we're witnessing their rise in our features-- filmmakers are capitalising. But as this article rightly addresses, there has to be a balance.
Kudos to the responders. Their perspectives were very insightful. Loved the varying views they conveyed on the same titles. And that's one of the things that, more so, make sex and nude scenes tricky devices in film making. One key thing though is, if you must do it, you must do it right.
It's true, there's been a shift in how sex and nudity are viewed in Nollywood. Today, discussions are more open, leading to more liberal filmmaking. Balance is key, and doing it right is crucial. Glad you enjoyed the article and found the perspectives insightful!
I've absolutely enjoyed this. Very timely also.
