This comment further proves that American movie industry does some work to promote itself abroad.
“Local stuff” are terrific in Brazil (where I live) and I really enjoy European movies. I watch American movies, but most of them are hard passes — super hero movies, for instance, are formulaic and often very bad movies.
If you grew up watching mostly American movies, it takes a while and some effort to get used to different movie making styles. This can be quite hard (hence the heavy promotion of American movies), but it’s liberating.
