What Happened to Philippine Cinema?

Have you tried watching old movies on the television? When I was younger, I really skipped those movies because I thought they aren’t good and the resolution weren’t high as well. But upon learning, when those films were being filmed and shown, it was actually what we consider as the Golden Age of Philippine Cinema.

The 1930s were a time when people began to learn about the film genre as a method for making art and display the talent of many Filipinos. There were lots of outstanding and notable films back then because it revealed what are the true happenings in the society.

However, in the present time, now that innovations are on the top and brilliant and modern information technologies are out globally, it would have been a great opportunity for the Philippine film industry to prosper but the reality slaps that not everyone can keep up with the global trends.

When the pandemic started, cinemas are then forced to close down to follow protocols and for the safety of public health. Sequentially, it became harder for producers

Because the film industry is so complex, it has a huge influence on the entire of the market. Films go around the world and reach people of different races. They also have a handbag full of things to show off.

What I mean by "things" is the place where it was shot, for example, or the artists and clothes they wore, the cars or other things they used in scenes, the culture that was shown, and so on. They help other businesses, and as the film gets more attention, it also helps other businesses get more attention. For example, a film made by Filipinos in Batanes could make more people want to go there, which would make tourism more popular in our country. They could also show one of our festivals or unique Filipino-made products, which would make people want to learn more about our culture and help businesses start up.

This is one of the many good reasons why we should help start up the film industry in our country. It's clear that it will help our economy.

In order to save the Filipino film industry, we need to take a risk and try new things. The film makers will make more movies and spend more money on this art. The government will also play a part in this by continuing to invest in studios and other things, like that. People should also take a chance and watch these movies, even though it could be good or bad. When people are making good suggestions for how to improve a movie, that can be a good thing and beneficial move. Users of the social media can use this to get their movies seen. They can write a review of the movie or say something interesting about it.

Also, it would be good if they made movies about Filipino culture and values so that we could show off the real way we live. In addition, there should be a plan for how to get films known around the world, which would help the industry a lot.
