American cinema tends to express a patriotic relationship to national identity on a regular basis.
I think English film is very embarrassed by patriotism generally.
I feel an intense intimacy with those who have this loathing interest in me....
There is the glamour side of it which allows you to meet great variety of people with whom you simply can have a good time but there's also the sad side of it that drags you into a superficial and artificial world.
