Hollywood finally recognises England


Pretty stunned, and pleased, how many times the words 'England' and 'English' are used in the movie. Hollywood always uses the 'UK' and 'British' to keep things simple for American movie-goers.

This is such a rare event that it deserves a thread.

Nice to know that Hollywood does in fact realise England is a country.

Im amazes that given you guys are posting this on a movie site, you havent noticed that this isnt a hollywood movie.
The movie was made jointly berween australia and wales.

And to the uninformed commenter who thinks that the welsh and scottish are ready to fight if called british, youve got that all wrong. you can call us scottish or british, just dont call us english. part of the same issue as people calling the whole british isles england

Usual comment from an american " youre scottish, so what part of england are you from"

reply

Brit to an American "Oh you're American? Are you from L.A. or New York?"

reply

I would say 'you're American? Have you ever seen a tornado? Or seen a shooting?'
