IShall_Run_Amok 01/03/20 3:15:51 PM #11:	1953's Wages of Fear, from France, didn't dwell in the matter much, but it was critical enough of the US oil company (fictional IIRC) that 35 minutes were cut from it for distribution stateside. Funnily enough, the Soviet films Miss Mend and The Extraordinary Adventurers of Mr West in the Land of the Bolsheviks have American protagonists (the former does also have American villains, too, however). I think the reason for this is that Soviet citizens and the filmmakers both loved American comedies and adventure films of the time, and these films were very much in that mold. --- Everyone gangsta until country roads starts playing. <cite>IShall_Run_Amok posted [p:932416209] in Do foreign...

American media portrays the American military as evil more than any foreign film would. its been a hollywood trope for years If citizens have an ingrained distrust of their own government (paranoid fantasies about the New World Order, black helicopters, FEMA camps, etc), then it'd be logical for them to see the military not as the nation's military any longer but rather as the enemy's (i.e. the government's) military -- they'd treat it with the same suspicion as any other government agency. --- Easily manipulated <cite>Firewerx posted [p:932417929] in Do foreign...
