With the rapid increase of globalization, it has become increasingly common for many nations to import foreign movies, instead of producing local ones. While some may argue that this trend is largely positive, I side with those who believe countries should prioritize local film productions.
Proponents of film imports cite various reasons to support their stance. One common argument is that local people would have more varied film choices, if the government accepts film imports to the country. Population can not only watch locally produced movies, which is often considered as boring, but they can also enjoy some internationally-known films like avatar. They also say that films often characterize the culture, history, and traditions of the country they are produced in. When they are brought to other nations, locals have the ability to learn them thereby helping them broaden their horizons.
I, however, support the view that the imported films are highly likely to bring about some corrosive effects to the local film production. Firstly, these movies can creep into the market and gradually overtake it and in a long enough timeframe, outcompete local film production. All of which eventually lead to partially loss of film making culture, as it is a special source of the local history that tells the future generations about today. For example, my home country, Uzbekistan, where the government once imported many international films that badly affected local film making and still it only produces a limited number movies that are of bad quality.
In conclusion, although some people may argue that film making is a positive measure, I have a negative view of this trend believing that it can have several insidious impacts on the local film making industry.
Estimated score is 7.5 ~ 8.0
