Since their inception in the late 1800s, American movies have exerted overwhelming impacts on the cinema business worldwide. Given the numerous cultural and economic advantages of strengthening the film business, I am of the adamant stance that nations should strive to bolster the industry as USA has done over the past century.
One of the fruits countries reap from well-established film industries is the expansion of the knowledge pertaining to a country’s values and traditions among the international society. This is evidenced by the momentous rise in the number of Indian consulates and cultural centers worldwide since Bollywood flourished in the early 1950s. In addition, possessing such cinematic presence across the globe spreads local languages to the international arena, providing influence to countries.
Moreover, the abundance of income films generate contributes significantly to economic growth. One great illustration of the fiscal benefit of filmmaking is the fact that both domestic and international sale of movies is amongst the five largest contributors to the US’s colossal economy. Furthermore, the numerous employment opportunities that are created to operate this industry mean that unemployment dwindles proportional to the amount of monetary resource allotted to the field of motion pictures. These developments in economy, in turn, aid in the improvement of the reputation of a country and the expansion of its culture.
On the whole, given the manifold advantages of the mass production of motion pictures, governmental and non-governmental bodies should give sheer attention to this domain and surpass the sole dominance of the United States in the international film market. When this is accomplished by the movie industries of certain countries, it is inevitable that they will make quantum leaps to becoming influential powers in the world across diverse sectors.
