***Go for some foreign films not intended for American audiences.
***It's fashionable and somewhat politically correct -- ironically -- to be self-demeaning/critical,You are dead wrong, of course. It is politically correct to be completely oblivious of one's deficiencies. Being critical is the sign of maturity.
***but some of the foreign films I have seen this year are quite excellent. Amelia comes to mind.Well, I think you missed his point. It is the fact that the American "taste" plays important role today. Just like the BMW can't overlook its largest market, so can't the folks from the European studios, if they want to make any money.
American influence has damaged their movie industries to great extent, as they are unable to be profitable without the US distribution. Put the blame for that on both parties.
Amelie... cute, not bad, warm. But excellent? Hardly. Not a major effort. Its sucess not surprising - the Americans are big naive children, they love fairy tales, it is the truth and realism that they can't take. Amelie was just another Shrek.
What does a particular film have to do with this discussion?
