13 Things Hollywood Always Gets Wrong About Other Countries, According to People Who Are Actually From There
Recently I request THE BuzzFeed Community what Hollywood always gets wrong about where they live.
Here are 13 things people say movies and TV always get wrong about their country:
1.“The French almost always speak English and help Americans. Many don't speak English, and even if they do, finding someone nice and helpful in town who will give you a few minutes of their time just doesn't happen.”
“In the countryside, of course, but even fewer people speak English, so it’s better to learn French.
We're not just about beauty and romance either, far from it. Sorry.”
Netflix
2.“In Japan, we don't have as many neon signs as in the movies. I know a lot of people imagine Japan as a high-tech cyberpunk country, but that's not the case at all. We have maybe cool gadgets, but Japan is very VERY analog everywhere.”
“We also don't have as many 'traditional Japanese' elements in modern buildings. We have occasional small shrines here and there, either for small gods or to appease evil spirits… but Japanese elements are never really incorporated into modern places like hotels and office buildings. You probably wouldn't be able to tell it was a Japanese building if you didn't know where it was.

3.“I am Canadian. Never in my 40 years of living here have I heard another Canadian pronounce “à propos” as “en marche”.”
4.“We do have summer in Canada, believe it or not. In recent days, it has been 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit) in some parts of the country. »
5.“As a Haitian living in the United States, I will never cease to be amazed at how much of my culture has been reduced to voodoo/vodou.”
“While, yes, there are certainly aspects of Vodou that are intrinsically part of our culture (like lwas), for the most part, all the Haitians I know are Catholic or at least Christian. Additionally, Vodou is not just curses and scary dolls for people to play with, but a real religion.

6.“Turkey [Turkey]. Need I say more? Always with images that look like the Sahara, and we have no place like this.
“And also camels. I live in Antalya and I have only seen camels at the zoo.”

7.“Hollywood always thinks the English talk like they're either aristocratic or selling fruit on a market stall… or Scottish.”
“As in America (and most countries around the world), there are different accents, dialects, turns of phrase, etc.”

8.“We are English!” We don't sit around drinking tea all day and we certainly don't know the king! If we ever saw the king, we would not be allowed to come within 10 feet of him! »
9.“Great Britain, that is, England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, is the United Kingdom. England is distinct from the others, if you are only referring to us! The other three are separate countries with their own language, their own culture and their own traditions.”
ten.“My English colleague wants people to know that not all Brits are evil villains plotting to take over the world.”
11.“I come from a small village in North Yorkshire, UK, and I have never had a big, bloody plane crash. [like on the soap opera Emmerdale]”.
12.“I was watching an episode of New Amsterdam when the series was set in London, and wow! They didn't even get the registrations correct, and the police and ambulance sirens were fake too!”
13.And finally: “These Appalachians and the [American] The South in general is full of stupid, incestuous, obscene, and backward people. When in fact, there are a lot of unique and cool things that other people could learn from.
