Is the difference between depiction and reality
in the same direction?
No, "as far away" is absolute value
Trying to think of a movie that portrays the USA as
a good place to visit...
"American Pie", "Basic Instinct", "Hair", "Deep Throat",
"The Girl Next Door", "Porky's", "Flashdance", "9 1/2 weeks",
"Showgirls", "Back to the Future", "American Beauty" ...
just to mention a few of them.

I don't know if you're kidding or not. I see
that as a pretty random list of movies, all of
which are set in the USA.
"Showgirls" was definitely a bad movie. I didn't
really need to be reminded of it. : )
