Home Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

I see it differently

The fact is this forum is largely attanded by American audience, and to an average American movie goer the world is roughly 90% US-made.

I see my perspective as a far more balanced... natch!... but being more balanced it will definitely strike some as pro-foreign.

To that I must say that of great films produced in the world, the majority did not originate in this country - as the world is as big as... well, as the world.

I am not attached to any one country and its product. To me a bad Russian movie is a bad movie, and a great Polish one is great film.

I do check all movie cable channels every night - not the premium ones, mind you! And among those I watch regularly are the AMC and TCM.

Unfortunately, it does seem to be true that the proportion of American films in the world production of good films had shrunk substantially since the 1950's perhaps. The two parts of the world took different roads, and it is quite obvious.
