That's like watching Saturday Night Fever and deducing that Americans are ne'er-do-well creatures

It is amazing what foreigners pick up off the background of our movies. I read a book by a Russian defector years ago and he said when he was a kid one of the few movies the Soviets let in from the USA was "Grapes of Wrath." He said the audience was astounded by how rich the Joads were. They owned a TRUCK! That was unbelievable wealth in Russia at the time.
