The meta-story of Kane taps into American cultural myths about success in the same way that more recent mainstream movies and tv shows (like Lost and Hurt Locker) express themes including American exceptionalism and defensiveness on the world stage.
Movies tell us about ourselves and others throughout time. They can also be enjoyable. Even simultaneously.

a sharp saw is "better saw" than a blunt saw
I think it's safe to say there is more agreement about that tool's purpose and performance than for movies and other cultural artifacts.

I'm surprised that Mike Lee thought the government were ever "listening". Their steadfast determination to split off Transport and Infrastructure functions for the benefit of Mr Sellwood and chums is a clue, as is the identity of the Minister of those two areas.
The ministers argue that Auckland Transport will operate in the same way as the New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA).
This is simply not the case. The Minister of Transport has far greater control over NZTA than Auckland Council will have over Auckland Transport.
Moreover, no council in Auckland has ever set up a controlled organisation to control local roads. Local roads are crucial to the fabric of our communities.
Issues over local roads do not only require commercial or technical responses. They need solutions which are appropriate to the local community.
