In addressing the approach of the local government in investing money to save their own film industries and flourish their culture while combating the influence foreign film giant industries like the US, I find myself in solid accord with the assertion. Despite valid concerns like obstacle in collaborating between other culture and ours, and not every nation have the luxury to spend in this sector, I contend that reasons like ability to strengthen our own film industry, spreading our own culture worldwide, and prioritizing the local stars, far outweigh the drawbacks.
US film industries are strong, and eventually have a greater influence in the whole earth because they have a good budget allocation. Aside from the private organizations, the governments also offers lavish amount of funding so that their culture could fly all around the world. The term “Western culture” is the proof of their influence which was initiated in the 19th century through media industry of their country. Thanks to that revolution, now their culture is hugely appreciated in the globe. Similarly if a substantial investment is made in our very own media industry, it would have a great prospective. This approach would manifest a better production that could gain international attraction. Countries like Korea, India, Turkey, and Japan had a good amount of movies with even better stories than most other American cinemas throughout the ages but was not noticed until the recent decades. The attraction was gained as the Korean government took steps to spread their culture worldwide, Indians started to make a significant amount on film industries, Turkey regional administrations prioritized their own heroes supporting with enough money, and so on. Overall, it’s apparent that most nations that was able to safeguard their own culture and spread them everywhere it was because the governments took initiative with enough expenses.
However, the concern inter-nation collaboration might come to sense. Well, as long as the countries are not willing to embrace other countries’ cinema industries, it is not a big issue. Embracing other cultures is not wrong rather we should focus on not negating our own traditions while accepting others. Governments should ensure that their locale cinema industry do not get drowned within the over acceptance of the foreign culture. Additionally, another concern advocates for the third world countries who don’t have the luxury to focus on industries like cinema while dealing with the basic human rights. Certain countries should not allow themselves to allocate much for film industry, however, for the sake of their culture they should align themselves with necessary approaches to deal with the situation.
Overall, to sum up, specific concerns might push the approach to be abrogated while bigger issues are at risk if neglected. Government’s foremost duty is to maintain the sovereignty of their nation, and the cultural progress is the measurement tool of that maintenance. In the current erratically digitized world is focused more than often in media industry, they influences everything internationally. Funding this particular sector can help in ensuring nationwide safeguard of the whole country’s culture.
