why is it america that saves the day or our planet in hollywood films?

Question

i have noticed a lot of hollywood films in which america comes to the rescue not matter wot the threat.whether it's aliens(independence day) , metior,astriod
(armeghedon),some corrupt leader from some made up country, it allways america that saves our planet, and yet they had to call it stalemate against north korea, lost in vietnam,can't even fight fighters armed with 1060's weapon in iraq. ohh and it was the soviet union who won world war 2 ,the germans admitted that and the world knows,so what film will america make next? save our planet from global warming since u caused it in the first place?

or why don't they make a film about how america invaded iraq , and thousands of people died as a result, specialy women and children.

Answer 1

lol, in reality america can't save nothing, look at when hurricane katrina hit, what did they do, lol pray to god to make it go away and when that failed they cried at its destruction,

Answer 2

The same reason the UK saves the day in UK films, French save the day in French films, China saves the day in Chinese films. Russia saves the day on Russia films. People pay to see who they consider the "good guys" win. America just makes more films. The films come out of Hollywood not the White house. Some are fiction, fact and fact based. I'd suggest you watch films that have your "good guys" winning. It will cause you less stress.

Answer 3

Your view of history is distorted.
The Soviet Union did nothing to win WW2 other than to throw people at the germans while the American & Brits did real strategic damage. The USSR was really good at killing its own citizens....a core competence of Stalin.
The germans don't even think they lost it today relative to their attmept to control the EU to their own benefit.

For all you Europeans....watch the Germans.....its not over yet.

As for Korea and Viet Nam. You are correct. We did give up because the rest of the world felt they should just standby and watch versus particpate in allowing people to live in relative freedom. Look at the two governments today. N. Korea and Viet Nam are still intimidating its citizenry while you get to write ridiculous opinions in Yahoo.

Same thing in Iraq. People from countries that want to standby and watch while dictators kill indiscriminantly are just pussy's.

America would still come to your aid if it was needed. But I wouldn't.

Answer 4

Because they are American films, written and made for Americans. Other countries do the same thing with their movies. You seem to have an anti-american theme going on here. thats too bad. films are for entertainment, not reality and the things you said about wwii and global warming are just silly. vietnam and korea are correct, but don't blame america for everything that happens in the world.

Answer 5

We always save the world in American films, notice, not in French films, or in Chinese films. Most of the time in movies concerning saving the world, the nationality of the bulk of the filmmakers is that which saves the world. If you're going to show a film in the majority of America, that's what Americans want to see.

Answer 6

not to offend anyone but the Hollywood liberals think they are all that. They have the mindset they can save the would with their agenda. but you also have to examine the fact that even tho fiction some hint of realism must be installed. I doubt Iran has the ability to even reach outer space let alone land on an asteroid. but think about the movie Armageddon... it was a cooperation of USA and Russian cosmonaut that saved the day. and again Independence day, sure it was the USA who discovered the weakness but it was a world wide effort that saved the day.

Mr Truth is it, well your additional post was offensive. why don't you think about the hundreds of thousands people Saddam had killed, raped, beaten, enslaved, no you are a anti-American pin head. why don't you worry about your own yard and leave the real world to the pros.

Answer 7

They can never save the world,the only thing that the rulers of this nation know is that to trial its newly invented missiles and weapons by using it in other countries in the name of fighting terrorism.Putting agreement with other countries if they come to know that particular country is becoming a major power.
Let us compromise ourselves that atleast in films they are saving the people.

Answer 8

Take a look at some foreign films, my friend. Other countries do the exact same thing. It's a form of expressing pride in one's nation; there's nothing wrong with that.

Answer 9

You question is, it seems to me: Why is it America that saves the day in Hollywood films. Answer: Hollywood is in America.

This question of yours is really just an anti-American rant.

Answer 10

Egocentrism.

Our country likes itself a great deal.

The funny thing though is that in Hollywood, the president is always depicted as a compassionate man.

See? Hollywood gets it wrong most of the time!
