Culture clash in Entertainment Industry
... American movie industry is an entertainment giant, more advanced technically. ... American culture is open to all sorts of films; only that entertainment product is meeting expectation of only a very small market. ... French are right in protecting their market – by subsidizing their film industry (accrued largely by taxing American entertainment industry products), but they are using the wrong approach. ... A subsidized movie industry of France, may cause loss to American because a)It may reduce sale of American products (technical or audiovisual) b)French producers may get undue advantage of lower movie making costs – thus producing the same quality product at a lower price. ... A sense of insecurity in mind of French from strong American entertainment industry caused them to take such a decision. ... Strong political class of French bureaucracy wanted to be lesser influenced by Americans and were afraid of failure of already starving French entertainment industry.
