He's right. Moral self-righteousness aside, Hollywood was a window for many of us in "developing countries" to a better world. Yeah, it was an idealized version of reality, but that's how many of us discovered science, athleticism or sexual freedom, for example.

I don't disagree that you got a window into American values, I just don't agree that proximity to American values is the same as civilization versus primitivism.
