It is America ’s natal day party and you should in all probability be standing in a backyard , corrode a hot dog and wassail a shandy , reckon at a flag if not actively wave one , as expensive fireworks crackle in the distance and strains of Bruce Springsteen play through your neighbor ’s showily expensive newfangled stereoscopic photograph system of rules .
But you are reading Gizmodo ( maybe on your phone , whilst standing in a backyard ? I do n’t live your liveliness ) which result me to believe you are celebrating the 4th of July by looking at a projection screen , at least for part of the day .
If you ’re going to keep looking at a screen , pay tribute to ‘ Merica by watching the movie that right represents our great Carry Nation : Roland Emmerich ’s 1996 summertime blockbuster , Independence Day .
It was calculate by a German , but Independence Day is a directly up American movie . It ’s full of explosions , blatant plot inconsistencies , noble cracker , noble sprigger , Apple computer , scientists without common mother wit , a crotchety old adult male , alcohol addiction , Jeff Goldblum , the White House , a dog surviving despite the odds , and mixed friendship . The only way it could be more American is if it had Randy Quaid . OH WAIT .
It is a moving-picture show about the entire populace being jeopardized by malevolent alien invaders that focus almost solely on the experience in the U.S. The moving picture assumes that the rest of the world would just defer to America re : stave off impend apocalypse via utterly improbable rescue mission .
It is perfect .
