Yeah, movies always show things in the most extreme light.
Ok I have had time to think it over.
America doesn't seem to have much culture other than people going out and buying stuff they do not need, with money they don't have, to try to impress people they do not even like.
Put it this way - the two MOST American holidays we have are Thanksgiving and July 4th (independence day). Retailers have mostly ruined Thanksgiving by having a "special" shopping day on the Friday right after (aka "black Friday")
Any culture America has or had, retailers have commercialized it so there isn't much left except constant ads, buy this or that, whatever.
What's America Like to Live in?
