As the United States has reached it's two hundred and fifty years as a nation today, the New York Times has assembled ten of their writers to select a film that best represents this country and why. Each of these films manages to capture a little insight into how we might view ourselves as a country and how the rest of the world possibly perceives us because of our cinema. The nation is currently in a severely political divided state of mind (shown by the the muddled events that have been put together to celebrate this milestone) but I still believe that we still remain united, bound by our shared history, a deep love of country and a strong desire for a more perfect union.
