 I've now permanently moved my blog over to http://chocolateandvodka.com/ and will no long be updating this version, other than with the occasional summary of new posts. Please do not leave comments here, but instead find the equivalent post on my new site, and comment there instead. Comments left here will not be published, as I'd like to keep things all together on the new installation. Sorry if this is an inconvenience. |

That's ridiculous. The dysfunctional family is a common plot device in every single form of storytelling media out there, from every single country out there. In fact, some of the earliest examples of it are in European theater.
It makes next to no sense to pin this on some kind moral or idealistic of hypocrisy on the director's part. If he did it for any reason he did it because he thought it would sell, which it generally does. It's highly doubtful he did it to export white American family values to the rest of the world.
Additionally, where are you coming up with this rhetoric of "horrible white family values?" There may be some truth to it, but then again there's always a degree of truth to STEREOTYPES.
