In Reply to: Well, maybe, but unlike you... posted by Victor Khomenko on December 29, 2003 at 11:03:44:
The reality is that you talk incessently about European films, and not just Sergio Leone's Eastwood flicks! Warmed over spaghetti westerns aside, you've become one of this forum's preeminent foreign film-foo gurus, which might be considered a compliment, except when your overbearing opinions sprout forth like Vesuvius on Pompeii. In fairness, there are quite a few foreign films I like and others that I respect even though I personally find them difficult to appreciate, but there are also foreign films I dislike strongly, films which were a waste of time for one reason or another. BTW, when I break films down to more language/cultural status it isn't because I hate foreign films, but rather because I recognize distinct differences between foreign product and American.AuPh
Follow Ups:
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.
