the problem lies deeper than film. america at its core is obsessed with wealth, and it's always been this way. the ethics of how the wealth is acquired and spent matters very little. we idolize drug dealers, mobsters, serial bank robbers, bookies, counterfeiters, etc.

Most of the countries I've lived or worked in (around Asia, Europe, South America ) are largely the same. I think it is a human quality.

America is obsessed with competitive narcissism.

No one makes movies or TV shows about people who are heroically kind, empathic, or generous.

There are many movies and shows that promote those positive values. Marvel superhero movies, children movies, movies like Marshall. Films and documentaries that critique consumerism or society. TED talks, YouTube channels like The School of Life, even blogs like Brainpickings.
