"A monoculture is not only Hollywood, but Americans trying to export democracy"

This quote by Bernardo Bertolucci is describing the concept of a monoculture, which is a culture that is controlled by a single concept or point of view. In this case, Bertolucci is describing the idea of Hollywood and the American culture that it represents. He is suggesting that this monoculture is not only restricted to Hollywood, however is also seen in the way that Americans attempt to export democracy. This suggests that the American way of life is seen as the only method, and that other cultures and perspectives are not offered the very same respect or attention. This quote is a pointer that we need to be open to various point of views and cultures, and that we ought to not try to impose our own beliefs on others.
