I guess from your name you are Hungarian?
Very few Hungarians can understand the American mentality. In two years in
Budapest I did not even see a single confrontation.
Go East some hundreds of km though and it is different - in just a month or so
in Beograd & Backa Palanka I had quite some "fun".
And in all seriousness - American movies have gone way downhill. Ten years ago
you could play poker, to raise you have to give a Schwarzenegger one-liner - and
betting would go up. (Yes we tried this.) Now - just the bad guys are
interesting. Take Lord of the Rings. Shmigl is funny. The head org has his
moments. ("The age of men is over. The age of orgs is here.") The good guys?
Yaaaaawwnnnn ...
