The American


Geez, this is disappointing. George Clooney made a bad choice. I believed that he was always in "unique" movies," but not this time.

What pissed me off most was the description of an Italian village. It's too stereotypical. I assume Italian audiences would go, "Are Americans dreaming?!" Also, the movie describes like the United States is a better country, which made me like, "Ha?!" In the movie, for instance, Italian girls want to go to the United States (one of them wants to leave Italy with George Clooney for the United States). Damn, this is not true, man. The United States is not an ideal country, and Italy is not bad. My Italian friends love their country, anyway. Well, I will ask my Italian friends for their opinion.

Another thing, being American is ridiculed in the movie, but it's not enough. Oh, well, I understand the movie doesn't want to upset American audience. Political economy is the biggest concern in the movie industry.
