US is double faced in politics because they say they bring democracy, but forget to mention that the 'lucky country' that gets it will have to either go through a war or invasion, or better, sell off all its national interest in the sake of american (Ukraine, Georgia for example). So yes, double standards. Than it acts like a bully towards weak countries and can't do crap against countries which can fight back (like China for instance).
Hollywood on the other hand is doing its best to convince everyone that no matter what happens the US will save the day.
Than about political movies - I don't watch the garbage made by the likes of Michael Moore and I don't recommend that to anyone else. Most of the once respected actors now preaching on how to lead life, the likes of Jolie and Penn going out of their skin to portray themselves as some fekin saviours of humanity. Comon. Tell me about bloody Hollywood a bit more. MOst of them are rediculous people with enourmous ego's, comletely detached from real life. Most of them because there are some really talented people but majority - it's a hard to watch. That's why I find myself watching many old american movies, even from the 80s and early 90s. From new ones, I can probably name 3 movies in last 5 years that I actually remembered what they were about. Here's an example - a good movie dealing with racism issues, Crash, by the end turns into some very predictable story, though starting rather nicely.
One of the worst things in america now IMO is this political correctness, that's unfortunately exhibited more and more by even users in the forum. You can't say anything there without being called a racist, a hypocrite, a non-patriot, and so on and on. Well, that's the culture. That's decay. Look at the damn cartoons that we have here, and it's a proof that the issue is not just america, it's everywhere. ANd the political correctness took on nicely here in europe too. What about that Mayor in London being ousted? Talk about democracy at the heart of it.
