Maybe to a lesser extent but you can find Indian movies of absurd heroism too. That's what propped me to think America is not very special.

Also being a young and rich state probably pushed things to eleven.

I wouldn't say "being young" is that relevant after a couple centuries. Nobody in the US today knows someone who witnessed the declaration of independence (unlike, say, in Israel or India).

Probably. But I believe there's still a notion that they're new players who got everything right to the top. While other countries have seen peaks and valleys.
