European films are better than american movies

"only recently have European films gained any competency...." and "the 1930's were literally 80 years ago, and American movies have been reigning supreme ever since." Contradiction. "So of the filmmakers that Pro has listed; almost all of them died years ago, many of which were actually American or worked their whole careers in America, and all of them are people who people have never even heard of in the first place!" and "most people cant list a single European director who has done anything meaningful. "First, all of the listed were born in Europe. Then I, and all the people I know who understand a bit of cinema, would classify Alfred Hitchcock, Ingrid Bergman, Roman Polanski as "cinema marsters" and very well-known. The "most people can't list..." excuse is worthless since that only proves one thing: "most people" have little cinema's knowledge, and therefore they are inadequate to judge a movie.Last, but not least, the directors who already died are the ones who mentor and created most of whattoday is seen. They are the ones who inovate, the pioneers. So, if they hadn't lived, both cinemas (European and American) wouldn't be the way they are. Today's films ows everything to these gentlemen."That is a complete and utter lie."In fact, there are many directors who prefer to stay in Europe. Yet there are the one who go to the United States because there their salary is, probably, higher as the budget and the opportunities."Ill take that as a concession that there are more American acclaimed artists then European ones...."Of course there are more american acclaimed artists then european ones, if there is more people associated to the film industry is only logical that that happens. Still, Europe has shown great, if not greater, artists. As usually said "is not about the quantity, but about the quality"."So European film makers in Europe focus mostly on the plot while American film makers dont prioritize it as high"This means con agree that european films have better plots? If the answer is , as it seems, yes then is establish the european films are better in criteria #1 (see rules above) than the american ones. Con's insists in showing that american movies that "American moveis do better then European ones both critically and box-office wise....". He is absolutely right. Yet, as said in round #2, it is spent many money (normally an additional half-of-the-budget amount) in advertising to make the movie a big hit. So, since "most people" don't know much about cinema, they are manipulated by the media to go to teathers and see the movies they want to be successful. Therefore, the success of a film does not depend only of his quality.About critically response, they are not so easily convinced as random people. But, if awards matter that much, let's take the Academy Awards.Even experts, and try to list one who disagrees, believe that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has made terribly choices. Here a few (more can be seen in http://www.hitfix.com......)How Green Was My Valley instead of Citizen Kane (won both The Best Picture Award and Best Director);Going My Way Gigi instead of Vertigo;Annie Hall instead of Star WarsOrdinary PeopleDances with WolvesShakespeare in Love (in the same year as Saving Private Ryan)So the awards' winners are not always the ones who deserve it (experts agree).Also, as experts agree, there are films who are most likely to win an Oscar. Here's a list of what to do in order to win an Oscar publish by the newspaper Independent:Make a biopicMan UpHire a famous and/or male directorKnow your audienceGive it a snappy titleMake it longDon't make 'em laughKeep the British end upGo to warMake it periodLet's now suppose the following: there's this movie wich is simple brilliant and perfect. However, only ten random people have seen it. The profit from it is none. It has not won an award. Is not successful. Is not well-known. Should this perfect movie be considered bad? Yes, if one may choose to accept the con's argument.Conclusion: The success and the awards are not proofs to declare a good movie, since they came, as already said, after the film is done and, therefore, they cannot affect his quality. _______________Now about the language.The use of english is probably why the american movies are more famous. However, the language shoudn't be a factor in determinate the quality of a movie.In a globalized world, the language is not a barrier, and, even if it was, is easy to eliminate her with subtitles. People will gain a lot more if they stop the prejudice against languages they don't undestand and just use subtitles. Also, italian seems to work in comedy films and spanish is very used in thriller/terror movies (even American ones).
