A typical American ideological film

The actors in the movie performed very well, especially Bruce Willis's role is remarkable. In addition, each character has its own characteristics, and each character is created very cute. The movie special effects are very good, and the music is also very good.
However, what I want to say is its connotation, which is a typical American ideological film.
I remember in the American political scientist Huntington's "Who are we?" In the book (Challenges of American National Identity), it was said that the United States is a country that is very ideological, and it is the first country to distinguish friends by ideology.
And now, one of the manifestations of American ideology is to lead the world. In the film, only the United States found this huge meteorite, while other countries, not even Europe, Russia, or China. The neighboring country of the United States, Canada, has not found it either. It cannot be said that the United States is leading the world in the field of science.
Second, in the process of adopting specific countermeasures, it is the United States that has acted as a world leader. The United States blocked the news that the world was about to be "destroyed". Only when Southeast Asia and Paris were destroyed, did it release news like the whole world. In addition, in the rescue process, only the Americans and the U.S. military can undertake this historical mission. Almost all astronauts and scientists in Russia, China, and Europe are soy saucers. One of the Russian space station scientists and its space station, I think to a certain extent, play a certain negative role. The equipment is aging, weird, but Very brave again. Maybe this is the need for the character structure of the movie. Also, the two spaceships are called "Independence" and "Freedom" respectively. I think its intentions are unclear.
The overall feeling of the whole movie is almost the same as the thinking of the subsequent "Independence Day", that is, when mankind is facing destruction, the destructive power from outer space, only the United States can lead the world, take the responsibility of the whole world, and all mankind. Under the guidance of the American spirit-freedom and independence, the protector of the United States paid a certain amount of sacrifice to become an American hero and a human hero. This cannot but be said to be a typical American ideology.
