Hey there, movie fans! 🎬 There’s big news in the film world that you might want to know about. Recently, U.S. President Donald Trump announced a plan that could change the movies we watch. He wants to put a 100% tariff (that’s a big tax) on all movies made outside the United States. 😮 But why? He says that the American film industry is having a tough time, and too many movies are being made in other countries because they offer special deals to filmmakers. He thinks this is a problem for the U.S. and wants to encourage movie-making at home. He calls it “making movies again in America.” 🇺🇸 However, not everyone thinks this is a good idea. Mario Pacheco Székely, a film expert, journalist, and professor, is worried about this plan. He says that movies have been made with people from all over the world since the 1940s. 🌍 Székely believes that working together with people from different countries makes movies better. He says, “We need people from different parts of the world, with different experiences, accents, skin colors, and even different ways to cook or build, to truly tell global stories.” ❤️ So, what do you think? Should movies be made only in one country, or is it better when we all work together? Maybe next time you watch a movie, you can think about all the people from different places who helped make it special! 🍿
