American dream

What’s the American dream? Is it a bundle of clichés based on naive unfounded self-satisfaction? Or is that just being too much of a Europhile?
I happed to see a short film about a Mercedes-Benz restorer JG Francis of Mercedes Motoring in L.A. focusing on a very narrow niche namely classic diesel Mercs restored to near perfect condition with a greatest attention to authenticity. Initially I was impressed by beautiful visualization and aesthetics of the film.
It took a while to understand that I might have been even more taken with the main characters’ lifestyle where they managed to combine near zen-like attention to even a most miniscule detail with their very own laid back lifestyle.

Is that ultimately what the American dream is all about? Certainly, the living in a market area of 300 hundred million people offers more possibilities than 5 million. Even so I maintain that this is a universal dream, being able to live the way you really want to not how you are supposed to.
Anyhow, here’s the film make sure to check it out and decide for your self.
