Absolute BS.
9:57 "responding to traditional values" is a red herring. There is nothing "traditional" about individualism and civic duty. The american infatuation with individuals, liberty and freedom is both unique and new.
On one hand they say that "american exceptionalism" is chauvinistic, and then they ALSO say that american values are "traditional"? Get real and pick one.
"Traditional" means english "for god and country", or german "for the motherland". Traditional is collectivist self sacrifice, comrade! Traditional is obey the great leader, wear his clothes, read his book, be silent, obedient, he knows best.
There is nothing traditional in rugged individualism, the suspicion of government at all levels, self reliance and justice taken in your own hands.
Movies are a mirror of the values of a society. And meta-modernism is just a weapon in cultural war That is why they feel "off". When a movie attempts to DRIVE instead of REFLECT the culture, it never tastes right.
