[tlug] [not Linux related] Why Hollywood does break foreign films ?

It's not possible to "break" a film.  You can even watch the original
ones in most cases.

Most Hollywood films are a different genus.  They're about escape and
about celebrity actors and producers, aka "vehicles".  (Celebrity
directors are a different genus altogether, but how many of those do
you see on the current Hollywood scene?)  The story and its adaptation
to the screen and the cast are secondary.  If you don't like that,
there's a simple solution and an exceedingly difficult one.

The simple solution is "don't watch them because you can be pretty
darn sure what's coming."

The difficult solution is to educate mass taste to prefer what you
consider "good".
