America is Like the Movies?

If a half hour is too long for you, you can get the core idea from the woman at 23:24.

All people generally know about a place is what the media tells them. For years I've encountered the negative side of this as I've had English people on the internet telling me how Americans are all rednecks and it's a country of uncontrolled, non-stop crime. And so finding there's a flipside to that coin - the idea that movies have imbued the country with a feeling of magic - is pretty cathartic.
