This article about Hollywood's depiction of the world outside isn't quite on topic for our course, but it does speak to the issues of othering and fearing the dangerous world outside the US borders that we've been talking about, especially when it comes to the Muslim world. It also demonstrates that being a liberal or 'leftist' doesn't immunize you from these tendencies of exotizing and fearing the world outside.
Enjoy Oscar night!
