Why is Hollywood dominated by Brits?

Great Briton is a proud, strong and sovereign nation that would prefer not to align itself too closely with the US.  This seems to bring about critisism from the left as well as its European neighbors.  We argue with Great Briton as much as anyone and that is healthy, because it shows the world that we are two different countries with two different agendas. The English know that we are here anytime they really need us.  That was true in 1939 when Nazi Germany was bombing London on a regular basis, and it is true today provided, when they need help, they ask for it.  They have been beside is in nearly every campaign since WWII and I'm quite sure they will continue to be amongst our strongest allies, along with Australia, Israel, Japan, Canada and Tawain.

Probably because the Brits are bad cooks.

the bottom line is...americans are pure capitalists whereas the brits are borderline socialists. We in the united states believe in getting all the customers for ourselves and if not kept in check would spend gargantuan amounts of money to to make the competition inexistant. the brits believe in the equality of all like businesses. in the brit ideal, everyone will eventually have his/her share of clients over time regardless of the marketing strategy and funds vested in advertisement.

At least in part.  Movies are an exaggeration.  Compared to most other countries, American culture is decadent.  We waste resources and tend to be arrogant.  Those who lean to the left want to rush into a future untested.  Those who are the most conservative want to go back 20 or more years and pretend nothing has happened.  America is very diverse.  Even people who have lived here all of their lives have no idea of what the country is all about because they might have spent their entire life in one small area.  You would have to see us to believe us.

Though I am not a Britisher or and Englander as is sometimes said - I think a true british man (briton) is one who can keep the proverbial stiff upper lip in the face of any diversity. He has a wry sense of humour and is a romantic at heart which manifests in his manners towards ladies. He is chivalrous to the extreme and will swim across the seas and climb over the mountains to rescue a damsel in distress. He reads P G Wodehouse and can carry a crysanthemum in his Double Brested Coat buttonhole. He tends to treat the aristocracy with affection and prefers a stout or a beer at the local pub to wine. He loves dancing the Tango and the Waltz at a ballroom yet is not averse to spending an eavening at the discotheque or attending a performance by a group singing Beatles songs. Stubborn as a mule he does not know when he has lost a war - as some found out during the world wars to their discomfiture. He integrates easily with people across the world and this leads to words which are vernacular to some countries forming a large percentage of his language "English".\nIn short a British man is a bundle of contradictions and in my view is a man of the earth and not a man of a race or nation.

I take it it's Baseball you are talking about, well the answer is because truthfully The American baseball stars are really the only baseball stars, as In Britain at least I know there are no pro baseball stars that i have heard of. We class it as a grown up version of a popular children's game called rounders played by schoolgirls over here. and P.s Celtic won it first.

Hollywood wants the entire world to think that America is the one and only nation that needs to be coveted. If you can't live like an American then you should hate them.\n\nEnvy, supernation syndrome. Pretty sick concepts for entertainment purposes.\n\nWhat I can tell you is that the entire world was shocked at the inability of Mr. Bush's government to respond to the Katrina event. And of course the elections fiasco by which he was appointed President. I call it the supernation syndrome, and unfortunately it seems the government fell for it.\n\nNot everyone hates America, it seems Americans hate America because of all the terrible things pictured in their movies. Maybe you don't know this, but some movies that are viewed overseas provide some excellent ideas, some of them were put in practice on 9/11. It's called wishful thinking.\n\nAmericans are so obsessed with themselves that they refuse to see beyond their borders, thus almost all of their movies expose their nation to terrible dangers, only to finally triumph. Well, not in every case.\n\nHollywood has fed that kind of crap to the American Public and the world, for decades. Producers and directors claim they know what the people want. Of course that is true, if you've never seen anything different.  Remember that it's just business, it's like a microwave formula, it works, it makes money, it feeds the supernation syndrome.\n\nThat's what I think. Hope it helps.

Here in England we are highly amused by the strange views and opinions of the people in the USA. We are particularly confused by their desire to worship actors and by their very poor grasp of geography.\nOur monarchs do not rule us; they are 'left over' from our history. We are a parlimentary democracy. Of course nobody thinks royalty are superior, in fact I can fart much better than the Queen can - I just hope she does not read this else I'll be beheaded.\nBy the way, why are americans such bad spellers?

They Are Both Different. Hollywood is action, comedy, drama, romanace etc. Bollywood is all these things, but with singing and dancing.

It's all about the attention and the money...they have enough money already so its probably just the attention. Many stars are afraid to leave the spotlight for 2 secs. Beyonce trys to compare this to brokeback mountain. This has nothing to do with that movie this is about making a moive that will have guys turned on, thinking its hott. The same reason girls dance together and hold hands in the clubs...Nasty girls...but that's what America loves to see (loll)

There is a couple of things that contribute to this in my opinion.  First being the differences in people.  People tend to respond badly to people who are different just to make themselves feel better, and superior in there oddities. The other being no common goal.  If we have learned nothing else from Hollywood, lol, it is that when faced with a great adversity, humans will unite to overcome it.  Kinda like a bad virus really. Not to be too cliche.

Brian, it's exactly the same issue in this country (UK), but I'd add three points that might not apply for Americans and the US.\n\nFirstly, some figures indicate that net migration is zero, as alot of Brits are emigrating to Australia, France, Eastern Europe etc.  \n\nSecondly, we complain about countries like Australia that have an immigration policy against us, yet are always trying to develop tougher immigration policies ourselves.\n\nThirdly, alot of Brits have moved to France largely ignoring the indiginous culture, as they pour into Provence and other regions.  We laugh at the French when they complain, yet expect our immigrants to speak fluent English the moment they step off the boat / plane / whatever.  We are also making life very hard for some countries by driving property prices up to levels that locals can't afford.\n\nPoints 2 and 3 add up to alot of hypocrisy in my mind.

Britain's was a sovereign independent and brave nation fond of justice with a clear conscience. But alas! after World War II  they who were the winners became slave of US and on the other hand we see that Germans who were loosers are standing their with dignity. Britain can't deviate his Master's policies.

for the most part, america enjoys mainstream music and the oldies. it's all about following a musical trend. making something that's easy to listen to. lately, hip hop, rap, and acoustic have been having a great run on american airwaves...\n\neuropean acts release their material in europe earlier than they do in the US. it just makes sense. james blunt's cd came out in europe in summer '05 and it came out in the US several months later. if a european act bombs in the european market, then they probably won't make it in the states.

Because they are always in the spotlight and people pay attention to what they say and do. Same thing with celebrities.\n\nI agree with you. It isn't fair. Celebrities get too much attention.
