Another Canadian movie trying so hard not to be Canada
Are we the only country that does this? Where 95% of our entertainment industry films stories in our country where we pretend its NOT Canada. We're either too busy making either schlock movies or TV for the US market or the overseas market OR we're making art films so pretentious or nonsensical that only Mother Canada could love. We've given up on stories about Canada, set in Canada, and starring Canadians (and not US actors looking for a paycheque to cover their balloon mortgage payment - looking at YOU Mr Culp and Mr Cromwell). If we hadn't, we might have had more than a few gems in the rough by now that other countries would sit up and take notice of. We might have had an entertainment industry that runs under its own steam. No wonder Canadian actors, directors, writers, etc leave here.
