>>212779439 (OP)>Why didn't the rest of the world watch Superman?I stop caring about american movies years ago.
American movies are heavily propagandized but they are so good at it doesn't necessarily feels like propaganda until you notice it and then you cant stop seeing it and you get tired of it. Is a force of homogenization and it feels culturally sterile. I know I sound like I inhale my own farts, but watching some latin American movie like La estrategia del Caracol is more mentally stimulating to me than watching something like Inception or Memento.
Not because the director of La estrategia del Caracol is smarter, or more clever, or is more technically skilled at his craft, far from it, but because it feels like the director is imperfectly passing on to you his cultural environment and his thoughts and feelings and feelings of others, something that he can't contain in his mind because he is passing on to you something bigger than himself of which he is a part of but through craft he can direct it like a river or wind at you without needing to absorb it all in his mind first and then release it processed and fully analized, I don't think it would be as good. While Memento and Inception feel like a clever person had some deep thoughts, made a scheme about then and then through very skilled craft and attention to detail is making it a visual reality.
Thats just my thoughts I needed to vent out.
