Unless the aliens in question are Daleks, Cybermen, etc., in which case the globe is just Britain.
I remember at least 2 Louis de Funès movies with aliens, those had to take place in France.
And if the aliens in question are Kaijus, then the world is Japan.
There were only three of those movies, though, and one of them was made for TV.
Not only aliens - USA too
You mean movies made in a certain country trend to take place in that country? Noooo
No I meant that the US seem to see the world as being the US.
I know what you meant. My point still stands.
there’s that one canadan show that takes place in space, which looks suspiciously (and is lampshaded) like canadia. does that count?
American movies talk about things that happen (or could happen) in the United States, isn’t that crazy?If you watch European, Chinese, or other films, they usually tell stories about those places.
Sssh. 🤫 We’re bashing the USA right now.
Well, there was that one American movie that took place in South Africa.
I know at least two but one is directed by a South African Canadian and the other one by a Southwest Racist American
Battleship allowed Japan to exist as well! /s
Hey they occasionally show a scene of London or Paris under attack.
Shhh… Don’t tell them about the rest of us.
You know whats weird? The british comedy filmmakers Simon Pegg and Nick Frost have a film with an Alien and for some reason it’s all shot in the USA.
You’d think the guys who make films in England would be the one outlier but they’re not.
not in Mars Attacks
On TV the UK is still visible, though.
They know Steven King stuff is handling Maine (ie the rest of the world)
ngl, for a second I thought it was australia, but no new zealand
I bet this is a Hollywood thing. What about movies made outside the United States?
London housing estates mainly, although we are happy for our aliens to terrorise the United States too.
Attack the Block was awesome. I had high hopes for the new Star wars when that dude was cast.
Nah bro those aliens look like prime breeding material post something else if you want to make a point.
Gee, Maine, Alaska, and Hawaii got the shaft.
Just in case anyone forgot, Will Smith clearly enunciated “Earth” after he punched the alien.
Wrong. District 9 is in Johannesburg. You’ll need a time machine to go back before then for this to be true. What a great film.
It doesn’t even make sense.
They’d start somewhere that the population poses zero danger to the invasion, then create an outpost foothold on Earth.
