50、政府是否该支持本土电影

　　1．题目： 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 ?
　　范文：
　　It is true that foreign films are more popular in many countries than domestically produced films . There could be several reasons why this is the case , and I believe that governments should promote local film - making by subsidising the industry .
　　There are various reasons why many people find foreign films more enjoyable than the films produced in their own countries . Firstly , the established film industries in certain countries have huge budgets for action , special effects and to shoot scenes in spectacular locations . Hollywood blockbusters like ' Avatar ' or the James Bond films are examples of such productions and the global appeal that they have . Another reason why these big - budget films are so successful is that they often star the most famous actors and actresses , and they are made by the most accomplished producers and directors . The poor quality , low - budget filmmaking in many countries suffers in comparison .
　　In my view , governments should support local film industries financially . In every country , there may be talented □□ film - makers who just need to be given the opportunity to prove themselves . To compete with big - budget productions from overseas , these people need money to pay for film crews , actors and a host of other costs related to producing high - quality films . If governments did help with these costs , they would see an increase in employment in the film industry , income from film sales , and perhaps even a rise in tourist numbers . New Zealand , for example , has seen an increase in tourism related to the ' Lord of the Rings ' films , which were partly funded by government subsidies .
　　In conclusion , I believe that increased financial support could help to raise the quality of locally made films and allow them to compete with the foreign productions that currently dominate the market .
