If this was an American movie forum, then what you are saying would hold water.As it is, this is an international one, so for any one group - however prevalent - to hijack its national origin is arrogant.
I suggest we drop the stupid and divisive "foreign" label and simply state the country of origin of the film in question.
And yes, "American-centric" DOES carry negative connotation.
Today we have all the means to enjoy the diverse cultures the world has to offer, so let's not lock ourselves into one tight pigeon hole.
