8.CINEMA PRESENTS A BIASED VIEW OF OTHER COUNTRIES 
Keywords: a biased view, other countries

the influence of the American film industry: “American imagery – the cars, the cities, the cowboys – 
became the primary imagery of film. Film carried American life and values around the globe.” Thus, 
we are only told that most cinema audiences watched images of American life. We do not know if the 
cinema presents a biased view of other countries.
