Movies are mass entertainment. They have to appeal to millions and millions of people. According to John Lee, the average film is seen by 600 million people worldwide - and your script needs to be something that will appeal to all of those people. Not a story that only appeals to you, not a story that only appeals to your social or ethnic group, not a story that only appeals to Americans, not a story that appeals only to people who speak English. You script needs to appeal to 600 million people worldwide. Your story has to be so exciting, that 600 million people will pay money to see it. Mainstream American films, the kind of movies that are made inside the system, where they *buy* screenplays, are not designed for American audiences - they are designed for the whole world to see.
