On one hand I understand your point... on the other hand you don't seem to realize just how much of a monopoly Hollywood has over world cinema. The funding of just one of the Hollywood films exceeds the funding of the entire film industry in almost all countries in the world. And with such a significantly smaller budget it's extremely hard to compete for the audience's money, which in turn makes the already poorly-funded film industries even poorer. Hollywood also has established distribution deals with foreign markets, which most other countries don't have and can't afford, so even if they do produce a decent film despite the lower budget, they can rarely show it outside their own country, so the returns are smaller as well.

AYRT. I do realize that, and it also seems that some talent from any country finds its way to Hollywood eventually.

But there are also Netflix (and other) productions everywhere, and the results end up being broadcast internationally with subs/voiceover if they're good, and why should the US film industry brain drain other countries?

Hollywood's goal is to make more money for investors. It didn't produce Roma or Parasite, and I don't think it could.

So it ends up sounding like "why can't the best waiters with accents get a job at the Applebees?" when there are 200 better but less popular restaurants in town.

The US film industry is already brain draining other countries. They have little interest in foreign actors, but they take all of our best SFX/Sound/Editors/Composers/etc.

You bring out two foreign films as a proof that anyone can do it, but no, not everyone can, exceptions don't invalidate the rule.

So it ends up sounding like "why can't the best waiters with accents get a job at the Applebees?" when there are 200 better but less popular restaurants in town.

When Applebees can afford to pay its waiters 100x the amount that the less popular restaurants can pay, that's when the question of "why can't the best waiters with accents get a job at the Applebees?" becomes very important.

SA

To give you some perspective: the highest paid actors in my country earn annually the equivalent of $100.000. The highest paid actors in Hollywood make $100.000.000. That's 1000x more, not even just 100x more.

Okay? But also, a house that would cost you $600k in Texas would cost $5m in LA.

And a private island, superyachts and vacations in exotic places cost exactly the same to everybody around the world, but people from very few nations can afford it. US being one of them.
