I'm practicing writing IELTS essays. Please help me refine my expressions, or share your thoughts about the topic. Thanks.

+++++++++++++++++++++

Many people prefer to watch foreign films rather than locally produced films.
Why could this be?
Should governments give more financial support to local film industries?

+++++++++++++++++++++

In many countries, foreign movies are more prevalent than domestically produced films. There could be many reasons why this is the case, but I don’t think governments should subsidize local film-making because there may be other fields better worth investing in.

There are various reasons why those blockbusters are often from overseas, among which the most compelling one shall be their higher quality resulting from a larger budget. Each year, the established film industries in developed countries attract billions of dollars of investment because only in these countries, such money could yield the most profit for investors. Take Hollywood for example. Unlike their counterparts outside the United States, Hollywood film studios have access to world-class stars and crews as well as the state-of-the-art technology, which brings Hollywood movies a global appeal that leads to greater box-office success. Such success, in turn, attracts more capital that nourishes the industry and produces more blockbusters.

In my view, governments should not support local film industries financially. The primary duty of a government is to equally improve the living standards of every citizen while subsidizing the film-making only benefits a minority of the population. The government budget every year is limited, and hence every coin should be used cost-effectively. In other words, governmental funds should be primarily allocated to the bread and butter issues, rather than to meet the film-makers’ needs for esteem or self-actualization. Funding health care, promoting public education, and subsidizing housing for the poor are all better ways to spend the tax handed in by citizens.

In conclusion, it is true that high-quality foreign movies still dominate the market, but governments should think twice before providing financial support for domestic film-makers.
