More disagreement here, you seem to be just re-stating your vision...

Each film is definitely not its own entity, it is also the product of the local culture and tradition.

Some countries have long established cultural traditions - just look at France for one such example. They therefore have fertile soil that makes good works of art more likely.

The US lacks such cultural history and tradition, I think we could agree on that. We love the US for a miriad other reasons, but its high culture is certainly not one of them. It is a cowboy and outlaws country, and it is foolish to ignore that fact.

Back to Hollywood... I suppose every film making organization struggles with profit versus art issue, but given the higher role the culture plays in the countries like France or Italy, their decisions tend to lean one direction, while the US's - in the other. It seems in Europe the studios are more inclined to accept lower profits for the sake of producing stuff they would be proud to show their children.

Or are you now gonna start denying the existance of an American mentality?
