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 are indeed more well-known in many nations than domestically produced
films
. There could be diverse reasons for this
, and governments should promote local filmmaking by subsiding the industry.
There are various reasons why many audiences find overseas motion pictures more enjoyable than films
produced in their own countries. Firstly
, the established film
industries in certain countries have huge budgets for action, special effects, and shooting scenes in spectacular locations. Hollywood blockbusters like "Avatar" or James Bond films
are examples of such
productions, and their global appeal is undeniable. Another reason these big-budget films
are so successful is that they often star the most famous actors and actresses, and the most accomplished producers and directors make them. The poor quality, low-budget filmmaking in many countries suffers in comparison.
Governments should support local film
industries financially. In every country, there may be talented amateur film
producers who need to be allowed to prove their talent. However
, to compete with big-budget productions from overseas, these people need money to pay for film
crews, actors, and other costs related to producing high-quality movies. If governments did help with these costs, they would see an increase in employment in the film
industry, income from film
sales, and perhaps even a rise in tourist numbers. New Zealand, for example
, has seen an increase in the number of international travellers who visit views related to the "Lord of the Rings" movie series, which government funds partly funded.
To sum up
, everything that has been stated so far, increased financial support could help to raise the quality of locally made films
and allow them to compete with the foreign productions that currently dominate the market.Submitted by Mads
