It's funny that you mention Japan, because I live here and I swear 90% of Japanese movies/dramas/animes are just rehashes of the same ideas over and over again. I guess only the good stuff gets exported.

Korea too, and any other country. There are some great movies that push the boundaries of storytelling but those are just as rare as great American movies.

I guess every country is the same, the main outlier being the USA, who exports pretty much everything to push their culture.
