You’re facetious, but I agree with GP’s point that the high esteem in which many foreigners hold the USA (primarily foreigners that have never been there) is based on depictions from glamorous movies and TV series.

- FabHK 6y agoYes. I’m not blaming the TV shows and movies for portraying the things they do rather than bleak reality, and I’m not blaming people for wanting to watch what they want to watch. I’m just arguing (purely descriptively) that quite possibly the prominent depictions in US movies and TV shows have given many people an impression of the US that is more glorious than reality; and that this discrepancy is greater regarding the US than most other countries.
