Adventures of La Mari | Films that Capture American Culture | American in Germany | ExpatLife @AdventuresofLaMari | Uploaded June 2020 | Updated October 2024, 14 hours ago.
Today we’re going to talk about movies. American movies and tv shows are everywhere. Even while living in Germany, I have the luxury of being able to watch most of the newest movies and tv shows from back home. Not everywhere, but usually the blockbuster ones.
As an American, we know how to separate fact from fiction, what was dreamed up by Hollywood and what was written for realsies. We forget that non-Americans end up seeing these same films differently.
I thought today, I would channel that but only focus on films that best represent my region of the Midwest….or more specifically, Indiana. The US is huge and I am not the person to ask if Kevin Smith really knows how to encapsulate the true New Jersey experience….I am not from there.
