For sure.  It's not like there is anything uniquely "Holllywood".


"Hollywood" became big because America was big... not vice versa.


They became big back when "America was cool" and american stuff was cool.

Though, the international hollywood and the hollywood that's big in the US can be pretty different anyway.

 

Heck, while not hollywood, the Governator has been picked up internationally but not domestically.

 

 

As I answered to HappySquirell, had the US been a warzone, there would've been no Hollywood.

That's not actually true.

Well it is, but not for the reasons you think.

Hollywood grew, because the US had the most dominate economy at the time.  The US had the most dominat economy at the time, partly because... yes the US wasn't in a warzone.


The US still has the most dominate economy, as far as a "unified culture" goes. .. so it would really just replay itself.

 

I mean war breeds culture, it doesn't kill it. (Well outside the art destroyed as collatral damage by war.)
