It's interesting to note how much the film industry boomed all around the world at about the same time, and how much of an impact all of the different countries had, and still have, on each other's film ideas.
Back when film was just becoming a medium for people to express themselves, it was more difficult for countries to share ideas. Once it evolved as a media, countries began sharing movies rapidly, and people who started in one country began working with people from other countries.
Hitchcock became big in the US as well as Britain, where he was born, for example. American actors starred in his films, some of which were set in US locations. He didn't present himself as a British filmmaker, just as a filmmaker.
Nowadays, it's unthinkable to envision a movie being made by people from just one culture. Behind the scenes and in the scenes, there are people from all nationalities taking part. Not to mention all of the remakes and adaptations of movies and television shows from other countries being made. The world, I think, has become a more united place because of films, and I think that's pretty interesting.
