outstanding directors/films that come from America that would be exceptions to the opinion that "no film or art culture comes from America"
As I could come up with a few examples of outstanding engineering/scientific achievements (KM-1 through K36A ejection seat, MIG 29 IR lookdown/shootdown) that would be exceptions to the opinion that " no innovation or advancement of technology, just copy/steal of existing western ideas, came from Russian engineers/scientists"See, both opinions can be stated in ways that tend to excite emotions beyond what was intended. Because in the end, they both are just opinions that are not exact fact.
May I suggest that you continue the use of labels like "Hollywood machine" or "Hollywood formula" instead of a national label, it wears longer.
Your GM analogy doesn't really fit in this case. Simply in GM's case they made an inferior product that had competetion, and the public/revenues went elsewhere. In the case of film, it still may be a inferior product, but its more refined competetion has almost no effect on the public/revenues. May not be likeable or desireable outcome, but this is one case where the company is supplying what the public is wanting and maintaining the health/income of the companies. So some of those CEO's are doing the right thing, it may not be art, but it is the right product for the market.
