A large number of people opt for watching foreign movies instead of domestic films. In my opinion, this is mainly because foreign movie producers make their films more attractive comparing to local ones. In order to improve the current state of local film production quality and, therefore, attractiveness, the authorities should certainly implement specific measures, including financial support.
There is little room for doubt that foreign movie producers, by aiming to gain as much profit as possible from a picture, endeavour to create movies which will be attractive not only for the local public but for all people throughout the world. In other words, globally-known film companies, such as Warner Bros, Columbia Pictures, or Disney Pictures, recruit world-famous actors, screenwriters, producers, and directors in order to produce a high-quality product which would certainly influence public to spend their money to watch it. Furthermore, many people, especially young people, consider movie stars and famous sportspeople as role models. As a result, most youngsters crave to watch movies where one of their role models acts, regardless of the dull screenplay of a movie.
The main advantage for supporting local film producers and implementing encouraging incentives is that popular movies could become an additional source of income for a country. Firstly, by producing internationally-acclaimed movies, local film-making companies would gain higher profit and, along with them, enlarge countries’ overall income. These companies’ success will help not only countries thrive but also people learn new skills and obtain useful experience, by creating more workplaces for locals. Secondly, by engaging the attention of foreigners, local movies would become providers of fresh investments to a country from abroad. Hence, most Westerners would be encouraged to visit a country to broaden their outlook, for instance, after watching a movie representing a significant country’s historical event.
In conclusion, by promoting local filmmakers financially or through implementing encouraging initiatives the authorities would not only enhance the current state of local film industry but also uphold a country economically.
