Why is the influence of French culture movie pronounced in Canada than in the US?

The influence of French culture in Canada is more pronounced than in the U.S. due to Canada's historical ties to France, especially in Quebec, where French is the official language and a significant part of the cultural identity. This results in a vibrant Francophone film industry and a strong appreciation for French cinema. In contrast, the U.S. has a predominantly Anglophone culture, which has overshadowed French cultural influences, making it less prominent in American cinema. Additionally, Canadian policies have actively supported and promoted French-language films, further solidifying their presence in the cultural landscape.

What if US had voted to use the German language?

It's actually a myth that the United States once was close to voting German as its official language; the United States does not now, nor has it ever, had an official language. English is used as the de facto official language, but there is in fact no legally official language in the United States. Several states have official languages. Louisiana has English and French; New Mexico has English and Spanish; Hawai'i has English and Hawai'ian; etc. If, theoretically, German or any other language were voted as the official language, in all likelihood there would be little change to how things are done already because English is so widely spoken.
