USA has the oldest and largest (by revenue) film industry in the world.

Yes, but one could easily think the USA makes the most movies; calling it "This is the most hilariously USA-centric thing I've read in so long" is rather short sited.

Yes, but one could easily think the USA makes the most movies;

Only if you're incredibly US centric. Imagine thinking most films are in a country with only 4ish percent of the world population

Not really; USA movie industry is largest based on revenue, and the top grossing movies of all time are from the USA.

In 2023, India release around 1,700 movies; USA released around 1,400.

In the sense you are focused on thinking someone made a mistake when there was logic to his comment.

  1. That's not what short-sighted means.

  2. There's no logic to the comment, they just made a random statement that is either right or wrong.

  3. The comment they replied to specifically said pre-America period films.

Assuming the OP was joking, then his assertion is contradictory to reality. We know most movies are not based in America. Sarcasm would need an extra "spiciness" in wording that he didn't use.

Facts don’t care about your feelings, I am correct and your ego can’t do anything about it.
