Obviously, having more different nations in a more compressed space gives a lot more chances for interactions.
I am not too sure if this theory makes any sense, but I can think about some spy movies that would hold up for it: I also have a slight feeling that my views are Euro-centered because I live in Europe and only get to watch American movies that are playing in local theaters but since those were made to be seen by a large audience, I still think it might have something to do with Europe and not just with me. ) and Europe always makes for some good spies from France, etc.
ESPIONAGE MOVIES MOVIE
American Spy Movies need spies from other countries to make a good movie - China is a hot topic, Russia's been in a thousand different spy movies (Cold War.I cannot remember a single action movie set in I dunno South Dakota. It's boring to shoot action movies in the US.Americans fancy the idea of being somewhere else and romanticize the "culture": old buildings (that make it easier to hide?), the narrow roads (that make for a good car chase), all the people that relax outside and have coffee in crowded places (perfect for suicide bombings!!!) in France, Italy, Spain, Germany.
Also, we fear what we don't know: Europeans. Europe is a place outside the US - no killings, no terrorists, no danger to the US population - all the "bad" stuff isn't happening in the Land of the Free.Europe is considered this place with loads of different secret services and lots of spies.I have some theories (as a European person that has spent some time in the US): I watched Jason Bourne yesterday and I was wondering why do so many American-made (especially spy) movies take place in Europe.
