erm


Bond isn't western. Unless you're referring to "western" as everything west of NK.

[Jubel]

pretty much anything in mainland europe or north america is considered western because the majority of the entertainnment is influenced by hollywood, and modern Bond is certainly a western style of movie.

Obviously idiot

Western refers to Europe and America in this context

[Pastrey Crust]

Obviously idiot

But Bond is an english movie, is it not?

[Epicduke]

But Bond is an english movie, is it not?

I think you should go read a history book, Western is Europe and North America

[Nickpb 3.0]

But Bond is an english movie, is it not?

No? They are produced by american companies what the forget are you on about pie crust

It's really hard to tell if you're just stupid or trolling sometimes

[Pastrey Crust]

We call "Western" the entire continent of America and "Western Europe" as the west part of Europe.

No? They are produced by american companies what the forget are you on about pie crust

Alright, calm your tits. It was just a question.

[Julius The 1st]

We call "Western" the entire continent of America and "Western Europe" as the west part of Europe.
Alright, calm your tits. It was just a question.

so "the west" and "the east" are technically classically defined by the empires or civilizations that held the most dominance; within the past few hundred years, the british empire had the most sway over the widest regions of the world.  to them, they considered Asia and practically anything east of the Ural Mountains "the east"

like Russia is part of the west and the east (majority east)  and how the arabian regions are considered "middle east" and while overall it is essentially based on geographical location, there's not really a point of reference where the middle of the world is on the globe so it was chosen arbitrarily i guess.

so yeah.  The Western society is considered most of Europe (north and west of turkey??) up til and including the americas.  The East is east of that.
