Foreign films such as the Hollywood blockbusters are released all over the world and are enjoyed more
than the locally produced films. This essay shall look into the reasons of this phenomenon and also discuss
whether the government should provide financial aid to support the local film industry.
The popularity of Hollywood films and foreign films in general can be attributed to the fact that they use
the most modern technology. For instance, the amazing visual effects and acoustics of the Hollywood
movie Avatar won global audiences. What is more, these films are produced by big companies that have
the money and the means to generate huge publicity for them. Today, we all know that marketing is what
decides the fate of a product - be it a film, a book or a gadget. So it is not surprising that these films tend to
do well overseas. ln contrast, the locally produced films are usually produced by small production houses
and on top of that they often have familiar storylines that may not interest some people. That probably
explains why most people watch foreign films more than locally produced ones.
Another significant reason for watching foreign films is that people are curious to know about foreign
lifestyles and culture. Today, we do not belong to a big planet Earth; we belong to a small global village. So,
people are exposed to different cultures and watching foreign movies satiates their curiosity of knowing
about them. Recently, lwatched a Japanese movie, 'okurobito' which means 'Departures' from which I
learnt how the Japanese do the last rituals when a person dies. This movie fascinated me a lot and I came
to know about Japanese traditions. Some people also watch Hollywood movies to learn English, which has
become a global language and watching English movies is a good way to learn English.
I firmly believe that the government should invest in the local film industry. To begin with, films are the
carrier of a country's culture. Supporting the local film industry will enable to spread its culture and this
seems an essential approach to help a country be more powerful in the world. Secondly, the boom of this
industry would, to a large extent, produce an increasing number of job positions and consequently, the
unemployment rate in this country might substantially decrease, which will contribute to its economy.
Recently, our Bollywood movies such as 'Dabang' and 1ab Tak Hai Jaan' have done business worth crores
and this has definitely boosted our economy.
Summing up, people watch foreign movies because of their better technology and to satisfy their curiosity
of foreign culture. The government should definitely promote local film industry for spreading our culture
and for boosting the economy.
