America is on standby. Mobsters sit outside a pizza place, silently and without hand gestures. A police officer is holding a donut, not taking a bite. They’re all waiting for something. An airplane from Norwegian lands on the airport, and we hear the voice of a director yelling “action!” Suddenly, everything comes alive with hand gestures, donut eating, rollerblades and cab drivers shouting in traffic. We see a couple of tourist on the street, taking it all in. Amazed by it all, they look at each other and say: “ It’s just like being in a movie!”

To Europeans, coming to America feels just like entering a film set. Even if you haven't been there before, you know exactly what everything looks like; the cops, the mobsters, the NYC-cabs, the streets and the fire hydrants. Because to Europeans – America is just like the movies.
