In the eyes of foreign people (Europeans in this case) Education in the USA is considered as much as your social security / Health care : A total joke, just not a haha kind of joke. An alternative plan, and more realistic than it seems, could be to spend the campus money in actually renting an apartment in either France, Italy or Germany and go to the public universities there. Even if you have to spend one year in learning the local language before attending classes, what is one year lost, compared to live a life without debt?

@@UrbanhandymanI hope you’re being sarcastic. As an American who lived in Europe for several years, I can say from first-hand experience the Germans and French have plenty of freedom.
A country‘s education system is whatever their population wants it to be. Not what the government wants, unless you live in an oligarchy… which of course has every interest in keeping the masses in ignorance. That’s why a healthy democracy requires a good education system, that provides a functional understanding of civics, some historical context that shines light on why past governments made the choices they did, and a basic understanding of scientific principles that have applications in everyday life, regardless of your occupation.
Why an “oligarchy”? Oligarchs rarely have any interest in the education of anyone’s children but their own - and it’s telling that a lot of eg Russian oligarchs have their own children educated in eg the U.K. and Switzerland, at very expensive private schools. France is complicated because historically - and with the approval of most of the population - it was a very “statist” country, one feature of which was a centralised, universal education system with a common curriculum. The French generally don’t regard the state as a threat to their liberty - the state is “our republic” - and they expect it to be active. That doesn’t mean that they don’t complain about bureaucracy, surly civil servants and taxes - but they’d generally be horrified at the idea that eg public services should be run by companies with a shareholder profit motive.
@ Precisely: Oligarchs have a vested interest in keeping their population as uneducated as possible, without compromising industrial productivity (on which they rely to maintain their wealth). It’s harder to subvert a democracy when most voters are familiar with the rise of Nazi Germany, or the transition of the Roman state from an imperfect republic to an empire that dominated the Mediterranean basin.
Sadly, populist politicians in the USA are sabotaging public schools pretexting that people must have the freedom to choose any school, while hamstringing the public system by cutting funding or pushing a particular religious agenda. Their arguments easily convince the uneducated, who perceive the opposition as anti-democratic technocrats. And that’s why the Democratic candidates were defeated: they are perceived as anti-democratic “know-it-alls” in red districts, because Democratic Party discourse speaks only to the educated. It needs to reach out better among less educated voters.
That's actually audio-visual contents in general not just movies and series. Music isn't subsidised and subsidies help with production not exports. Was surprised too but not surprised because I know about the French measures on exports even things like art, they built a gigantic network and are very aggressive on anything exports in general. They are everywhere. Totally unknown artists, singers everybody can benefit from that network to perform worldwide.
The main reason there is so many movies can be made in France is because for each cinema ticket sold, a part of the price ticket is dedicated for founding new movies.
" l’art subventionné " = leftist state propaganda. In france we are going to end that , most of our movies are crap , french cinéma died long ago because because of ideology.
I went to school in Canada. In 5 provinces (AF brat)... I never saw a metal detector, had pretty decent food at the cafeteria *NEVER got served sloppy joes... And my University in a world class school, cost me less than 2000$(Cdn) per semester... I also got a lot more bursaries than loans... So no big debt... The only violence I ever felt, was the usual school bully BS, until I found out that I could kick their arses, and it stopped... No guns, no crazy kid on a shooting badtrip, no idiot parent with an AR coming to kill his ex wife, teacher... No school cops (they have some now, in select H-Schools)... The joys of subsidized education... EVERYONE has access to the good schools too... I also remember learning about the BAD THINGS we did, not that weird number one propaganda that the US teaches to erase the bad past... I learnt about our residential schools, and our first Nation abuses in history class... About the bit of slavery that DID happen here pre-abolition... And the rest of our negative history... How can you FIX things, if you hide them ???
Not once did he slip out of his American accent on Battlestar. His everyday English accent was much crisper at a higher register when he was younger, it seemed. I was stunned when I heard his voice in an interview after I binge-watched a few episodes.
As someone who enjoys learning about other languages it’s heartbreaking to hear people losing interest in language learning. With English becoming “the world’s language” and AI, like Translate, people just don’t see the point anymore and it’s sad to hear
anyone can come in France. But do it legally, coming in Europe without papers is dumb because it'll be very difficult to get a job, in Europe no one use cash.
Apart from all other considerations, a European HS diploma is equivalent to a 2 yr junior college degree, or even a full bachelors in the USA. Plus, Europeans generally learn more than one language, always a boost to cognition.
I’m a French living abroad for more than 25 years. His look on France is interesting. Not 100% accurate, regarding the industry, even if he obviously knows the CG ou try and the peoples very well. 1 film every 20 years reaches 20 millions tickets. Last year 180 M. tickets were sold and 45 films reached 1 M. tickets. 15 were French (only ? 🇫🇷👍🏻). Only 2 exceeded 5 M, and they were US. But French film industry is quite strong in comparison with other EU countries.
The French film industry has always had widespread public support. The government there takes an active role in fostering an environment for domestic film production through subsidies and tax incentives. And based on what was said here, the US film industry is dead in comparison. When was the last time a decent comedy came out? Or a hit film that wasn't directed by Christopher Nolan, was a sequel, or based on comic book characters or some intellectual property?
It's not cut throat it's pretty pathetic really compared to other countries. The primary , secondary education in the US is a joke only the universities and only some of them like the Ivy League ones are decent . Plus even those aren't as top tier as they tout themselves to be typical Anglo-Saxon plus US puffing themselves up as the best they aren't.
I'm sorry that Jamie didn't find a stable, reliable and diverse enough school curriculum in the Los Angeles area for his children, maybe he should have tried Idaho and it's private schools.
I went to Houston University and did a Bachelor in supply chain and logisitics, i'll be honest I have no idea how it goes in my country but to me it was really just a waste of timeand really they shoudl totally forbid the presence of cell phones because cheating is omni-present, i m not kidding like a good 50% are just cheating in test and are in class just to pass time or I don't even know why they pay so much to get nothing out of it. I don't want to throw the rock at the university because there are some great teachers but the programms seemed off to me, very chaotic, and the books OMG the total scamm every year you have to buy a new book for the same disciple for like 400 dollars this is just outrageous!!!
10 French movies a week he's a bit exagerating but half yes, 20M tickets films are very rare only a few of them reach that the vast majority don't reach the million tickets. This production only survive because it's heavily subsided by TV channels and authorities since in every tickets there's a tax (taxe CNC) wich is then used to fund French produced movies.
US v. rest of OECD in schooling? Sport. It's secondary in rest of world but basis of US schools i.e. they're a nursery for NFL, NBA etc. Hence the jocks v. nerds and CHEERLEADERS!
"Education in the US is cut throat" - yet Americans can't answer basic science, maths, geography, history, or any general knowledge question and barely manage to speak 1 language.
French graduates actually do not even writes it correctly. It is crumbling, if you want a good education you have to pay a private school and this is what he does. The " baccalauréat " means nothing and is even easier than the " brevet des collèges " that our grand parents had to pass .
If this gentleman is that fluent in french, he should have a look a the book "la fabrique du crétin" by school teacher Jean-Paul Brighelli and think twice about putting his daughters in the french public school system... We're no better than the US unfortunately. Anyway, bienvenue en France
Interesting interview, but i don't know how much "for themselves" the french films really are. Most of the romcoms ( which i believe are the majority ), probably tailored even more specifically for the parisian public, sure, but the rest ? There are 320 million french speaking people in the world, 4% of the world's population. By 2050, thanks to african development, it's expected to be 8%. And that's not counting the fact that many non-french countries did enjoy a lot of dubbed french films, though that was mostly before the near complete hollywood dominance of the 1980-1990s, and the death of most european popular cinema...Except in France, where cultural production was protected by law.
Realistically, he could've been on set for a week. One action scene in a field, next episode in the back of a truck. Maybe 15 lines total. That point in his career he was filming a few things simultaneously. Its all a blur.
@@Slgjgnz Compared to which countries? French school system is considered as ooe of the most "inequalitarian" by OECD. Chasing for mediocrity has a price paid by the poorest. Just for you information, it is not just the BAC which has been sweetened; but also the entry examination for professors....
Because private schools are better ? Not in my region ! Yes some have good results at baccalaureate but they get rid of the pupils who might not succeed ! And please don't put all teachers in the same bucket, some are only on months or years contracts without any teaching training ( same in private)some with masters and fully trained like the one with agrégation, some in between.
@brigittelacour5055 Please, french private schools have been outperforming public ones for decadeS. And who noeadays use the BAC as a metric😆? 99% of the population can get it, and 50% of it with "une mention". You see the differenve in Universities or Engineer Schools or whatever takes a certain level of instruction.
There is no difference between public and private. That's the same curriculum taught by the same teachers trained and payed by the State. In general the best schools are public schools. Public or private isn't what will tell that you're in a good school. The French criticise everything in France even what they have good for themselves. We look like caricatures now.
There’s at least one specific kind of shows that we absolutely do not know how to do it good, here in France: sci-fi shows. It’s a pity since one of the « fathers » of the genre is Jules Verne. Maybe you too could settle here for a while and teach us how it is done. We are quite civilized and we would listen to you carefully. On second thoughts, tell the whole BSG cast to come with you. I’m pretty sure France has a sufficient variety of landscapes, climates and cultures to fulfill your every wishes! It is nice to see you both once again. Frack I miss your laughs!

I would love to hear Jamie about the current rise of violence in France, the mass immigration from muslim countries changing the local culture (a quarter of the population is non-european and making 3 times more children than the native french) -- and I wonder if this had any part in him moving his family to London, otherwise why not stay if it's so idyllic?

Because private schools are better ? Not in my region ! Yes some have good results at baccalaureate but they get rid of the pupils who might not succeed !
And please don't put all teachers in the same bucket, some are only on months or years contracts without any teaching training ( same in private)some with masters and fully trained like the one with agrégation, some in between.
@brigittelacour5055 Please, french private schools have been outperforming public ones for decadeS. And who noeadays use the BAC as a metric😆? 99% of the population can get it, and 50% of it with "une mention". You see the differenve in Universities or Engineer Schools or whatever takes a certain level of instruction.
There is no difference between public and private. That's the same curriculum taught by the same teachers trained and payed by the State. In general the best schools are public schools. Public or private isn't what will tell that you're in a good school.
The French criticise everything in France even what they have good for themselves. We look like caricatures now.
to bad it is getting ruined now!
There’s at least one specific kind of shows that we absolutely do not know how to do it good, here in France: sci-fi shows. It’s a pity since one of the « fathers » of the genre is Jules Verne.
Maybe you too could settle here for a while and teach us how it is done. We are quite civilized and we would listen to you carefully.
On second thoughts, tell the whole BSG cast to come with you. I’m pretty sure France has a sufficient variety of landscapes, climates and cultures to fulfill your every wishes!
It is nice to see you both once again. Frack I miss your laughs!
Education is cutthroat in USA, true but you spell it like this ... BAD... so Jamie welcome to Europe
No, as an immigrant, half the children from third world countries, if they were able to attend US schools they would dominate.
It's a big country. Where do you live?
@@mike74h I've live in major US cities. Both coasts and MIdwest.
@@dennisnguyen8105 Well, in my opinion it's a very broad, arrogant comment with no way to justify it in any objective manner. But it's typical, as I know from extensive interactions abroad. Congrats on your immigration and helping us improve our average competitiveness level.
l'Ecole en France est une catastrophe !
C'est vrai que ça s'aggrave mais le niveau reste au-dessus de l'école américaine en général et en France tu peux trouver des bonnes écoles privées dans lesquelles tes gamins ne risquent pas de se faire flinguer à l'école..

L'éducation en France est une catastrophe totale... Arf !
Exactement ! Surtout pas venir en France !
I would love to hear Jamie about the current rise of violence in France, the mass immigration from muslim countries changing the local culture (a quarter of the population is non-european and making 3 times more children than the native french) -- and I wonder if this had any part in him moving his family to London, otherwise why not stay if it's so idyllic?
il a les moyens de vivre dans des quartiers protégés, loin de tous ces problèmes
oh mais ferme là
et pour le "quart de la pop non européenne" lol gros bullshit
on sait tous pour qui tu vote Goebbels
No problem like this in Aix en Provence Private school
The problem is not the muslims it's the radical muslim ( huge difference). Same problem in almost everywhere in Europe
You apparently disagree with the fact he moved to France... c'est la vie 🤷♀️
Like London is not a quarter Pakistani...
Didnt have to move to france....the most educated country on earth is a couple hours north......
