Many people prefer to watch foreign films than locally produced films. Why could this be? Should governments give more financial support to local film industries?

It is true that foreign movies are more popular in many countries than domestically produced movies. There could be several reasons why

this

is the case, and I believe that the authority should promote local

film

-making by subsidizing the industry. There are significant factors why many people would rather watch foreign films than films produced in their own countries.

First

and foremost, the established

film

industries of many certain countries have huge budgets for

quality

scripts, special effects, and scenes in spectacular locations. Hollywood blockbusters,

such

as “Avatar”, are examples of

such

productions, which include extremely gorgeous footage. It is apparent that their global appeal is undeniable. Another reason why these big-budget films are highly successful is that they often involve the most famous actors and the most accomplished producers and directors. An interesting plot

also

plays an important role. Admittedly, the poor

quality

, low-budget filmmaking in many countries suffers in comparison.

In addition

xenophilia

Xenophilia

may give rise to the situation. In some developing countries, individuals tend to favour foreign goods over local ones, which comes from the belief that the former is higher in terms of

quality

. In my view, governments should support local

film

industries financially for primary reasons. In order to compete with big-budget productions from overseas, these people need money to pay for filming crews, famous actors and a host of other costs related to producing high-

quality

films. To be specific, it is essential for governments

to cut

taxes in local

film

industries. If governments did help with these costs, they would have several benefits

those,

as an increase in employment in the

industry, income from

film

sales, and perhaps even a rise in moviegoer numbers.

In addition

, there may be talented amateur

film-makers

who only need to be given the opportunity to prove themselves, exchange and gain experience from high-

quality

film

industries. In conclusion, I believe that investment from the authority could not only help to raise the

quality

of local

film

-making but

also

allow them to compete with foreign productions. The government should reduce taxes, which is likely to be a long-term solution to

this

.
