i am just talking about history and not being rude my granddad died in the war so how can u say u balied us out of trouble. some times i wish american had never joind the war and britian had never joined the war then i might have seen my granddad. i think war is a bad thing and i think it should be repersented better in history. also look at the vietnam war the aussies and koreans were in that war but u never hear about them. also according the the movies america won that war and most americans i speak to. just like we are winning the war on terrorism not. please just becuse ur emperialistic days are over stop pretending that you win all wars. most u have lost on your own the only ones u wil are with help. so when you do get help egknowledge that others helped you. thats all i ask.

Before you tell us Yanks inform your girlfriend of British involvement in the Pacific. I suggest a DVD of "Bridge on the River Kwai". Enjoyable movie too.
Certainally not the REAL story but entertaining enough. Plus the Brits are up to their SAS deeds in it. Oh yeah...William Holden is the wise-cracking American dragged back into it.

I feel plenty of the 'sickening cliches' ought to do with the generation wherein the movies take position; throughout the primary and moment World Wars, the USA had an overly powerful, nearly unanimous feeling of patriotism and help for his or her infantrymen, pitching in wherein they might. When we seem again at the 1940's, it's the heroic studies of brotherhood and perseverance we commonly pay attention approximately. While the script for Peal Harbor could have been cliche and predictable, quality films like Saving Private Ryan bring a equivalent patriotic undertone to the tale. If you seem at movies like Platoon, or Born of the Fourth of July, for illustration, the tone of the tale is way specific, whilst Americans have been establishing to recognize the ugly facet of struggle and protested it. Movies set in latest occasions approximately the present struggle in Iraq appear include a equivalent message.

* The United States has the largest population of people whose working language is English.
* Therefore as an English speaker you are most likely to be exposed to American made films and television programs, which are meant for an American audience.
* Who knows? Maybe there are actually more Chinese or Russian films about World War II, but for obvious reasons they don't get a screening in Greater Union outlets.

Because Hollywood is in America, they make the movies. After all History is His- Story.

If you are watching american movies they are going to have an american point of view. I have seen "foreign" movies about war that definitely have their own point of reference.

ummmm.....most of these movies are made in america......
ever heard of a place called hollywood? if you don't like american movies, watch whatever your own country can produce. nobody's forcing you to watch our movies.
and if your girlfriend is learning history from hollywood movies, i'm sorry, but maybe she's not the sharpest knife in the drawer.
