        It has always been very striking how Americans love movies where in times of trouble disparate people overcome their differences to work together and solve problems selflessly for the greater good, but in real life they absolutely hate this idea.

        You’re forgetting that the President is typically a decent, honorable, heroic individual in many of those films too.

          A lot of movies are more or less subtle political propaganda.
