your point is duly noted, however, have you ever wondered how much money citizens send OUT OF FRANCE by going to see Hollywood movies? By protecting the local film industry against the otherwise undisputable domination of american movies, your government ensues that at least SOME of the money used by the population to pay their film tickets stays IN THE COUNTRY and therefore sustains A LOT of jobs (because film production is very workforce-intensive).
@Archangelista Your point is that for the sake of "jobs" (local ones) we should be willing to sacrifice quality. In other words, the products that we purchase will be poorly made but we should buy them anyway because it's our neighbor who makes them. We should buy Reliant K Cars (remember those?) even though the Toyotas and Hondas were much more reliable and better built. We should, in fact, subsidize local manufacturing of crap and put tarifs on quality foreign imports. Dat yer point, Larry?
