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

Foreign

movies

such

as Hollywood big IPs have achieved greater success than local independent films in terms of popularity. Several of the reasons could lead to

this

consequence which

government

should take responsibility for. Both factors and ways of saving local

film

industries will be discussed in the following essay. The thriving of foreign

movies

primarily resulted from two reasons.

First

, due to the big-budget for luxury casts and magnificent sceneries, big-budget foreign

movies

were usually cast by famous actors and actresses, and the beautiful CGI are attractive to the audiences, so it could easily win global box office.

Second

, the business of Hollywood

movies

has been operating for over 50 years, which means thousands of experienced professionals keep devoting themselves to

this

industry, they know how to cater to the audience by applying fantastic special effects and brilliant ideas. On contrary, independent filmmakers might suffer from a shortage of budget, and lack of experience in work, it is hard to achieve commercial success.

Government

should take action to help local

film

industries by subsidizing the

film

industry. On one hand, setting up foundations and providing financial support to talented industry professionals who participate in independent filmmaking.

Moreover

, the

government

should help local filmmaking to reduce expenses in facility and equipment rentals and taxes. At

last

, promoting the domestic

film

to the public should be accounted as regular work for the

government

. To sum up, despite the fact that Hollywood blockbusters are currently dominating the market, we should still expect prosperity in independent

film

industries if with the help from governments.
