I don't know if that is true, @goldgrifin007. Certainly for the less-well-made, more popularly oriented films, that might be true. As I write this, though great U.S. films come to mind. Terms of Endearment, The Godfather, The Deerhunter. Nothing simple about those films. No clear good person or bad person. Complex people with good and bad in them. So, I'm not expert but I do have to disagree if we are talking about cinema that matters.
