J1 - Does Hollywood have a negative impact on the world?
I’m in the pro side of this topic, and my arguments are:
1) If we judge from the artistic achievement of Hollywood films, we can find that they are often poor in their content. It’s easy for us to predict what will happen next in the film. Even though we miss almost 90% of the film, we can still know the ending: the hero defeats the evil; the lovers finally get together, some cliché like that. There’s always a happy ending. Sometimes if we remove the special effects from a movie, there will remain nothing.
2) Culturally speaking, we can see Hollywood film as an invasion of indigenous cultures. For example, in Taiwan people seldom go to the movies to watch a domestic film. Everybody is addicted to the Hollywood films and accustomed to being imposed on the American values transmitted through the movies.
3) Similar to the cultural invasion, the economic domination of Hollywood is invincible. No film industries can compete with the major studios of Hollywood which spend huge budget in special effect, star actors or actress, and marketing distribution. Although some countries have the policy the support their film industry, it has never changed.
