Also, many movies’ writers tend to figure if the rest of the world doesn’t work the way the particular piece of it where they live does, then it ought to work that way; so fie on the rest of the world! No matter where the movie’s supposedly set, you can therefore generally expect the local politics to be arranged Hollywood’s preferred way rather than the real way.
