Why Americans don't like the American

Ok, so the other day, me and my girlfriend went to see the American, George Clooney's latest attempt to be old and sexy. For anyone who read the reviews, you know the story takes place in Europe and was actually filmed in Europe as well. Big up to the usually so lazy producers for not settling with Mexico as Italy, and some heavily made up Mexicans as Italians! Those of you who have read the reviews also know that the style of the American is far from American. Instead, the producers has taken the subtle European approach, excluding all exaggerated action, the Bruce Willis style one liners and more cuts per second than the eyes of a 30+ person can handle. All the Americans moaned in gloominess over the lack of action, the sighed every time "the bad guy" wasn't bad, and they yelled when "the good guy" wasn't so good. Of course, I as the pretentious European I am, I thrived in the sophistication and the questions rather than answer the film offered. When the farce finally came to an end, the theater was bubbling with patriotic hate towards traitor Clooney. Isn't there a law against such calling something so UN-American American? 

Seriously, American people, I urge you to try and use the braincells god gave you to not only develop extremely sophisticated weaponry but also to watch a philosophical movie once in a while. Understanding other people's perspectives isn't always BAD, you know.. More importantly, it's not subtle movies that are boring. It's the exaggerated action movies that no longer has any meaning or contents that are boring! There was a time when Hollywood knew how to use special effects without forgetting that story and depth is important. Terminator 2 for example was intense, had outstanding special effects for its time and even though it was a futuristic movie, stayed within the limit of the imaginable and probable. What happened in Terminator 3 and Salvation? Every ounce of reality went out the window and was replaced by super robots fighting humans that would make superman look soft. The Die Hard Movies are even worse.. just compare John McClane in the first, second and third movie to the superhero character we meet in the most recent Die Hard 4.
