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?

Most people are more likely to watch foreign films than local films. There could be several reasons why this is the case. I believe that governments ought to promote local filmmaking by subsiding the industry.

There are various reasons why people tend to watch foreign movies than local movies. Foreign films might have a big budget so they could shoot attractive scenes with spectacular background and special effects as well such as Avatar, Iron Man, as well as Batman. Furthermore, with these films invested a large amount of money, they were starred famous actors, actresses, and made by the most accomplished producers. The poor quality, low-budget filmmaking in many countries suffers in comparison.

In my opinion, governments definitely should subside to support local film industries. First, there are many talented amateur producers who need to be given an opportunity to prove themselves. To complete with big- budget filmmaking in developed countries, these people need money to pay for crews, actors and a host of other cost related to producing high-quality films. If governments help them to cover these costs, they would see an increase in employment in the industry income from film sales. Second, thanks to the development of the film industry, people all over the world might know more and be curious about these countries, which lead to a rise in tourists numbers. As a typical example of this is that Korea has seen an increase in tourism related to the “ Autumn in my heart” film, which was partly funded by government subsidies.

In conclusion, because local films lack money, they can not make a name themselves to compete with foreign films. I strongly believe that increased financial support could help to raise the quality of locally produced films.
