Well the original title is "Men who hate women", according to some the author is driving some feminist agenda with the story (I'll let you be the judge of that), though there are other major themes.
Imho, above all it's a crime story, that doesn't shy away from some more unpleasant sides of human nature.
Yeah I agree it might not be the best flick to take your religious, conservative mom to.

Americans are exposed to far less media (news, film, literature) from other countries/cultures than are citizens of most other developed nations (particularly Europe, but also most places where English isn't the main language). So it makes sense that we find subtitles unpalatable; we never have to deal with them.
That's part of it. Although really it goes beyond that.
I have never met people as uninterested in the rest of the world as Americans. Although maybe that's the same basic thing at work: less need to care about the rest of the world.

It's always best to judge a country and society from its least capable citizen/member. Using extremes is the best way to judge.

I like watching shows and movies in their original language with subtitles if need be.
I do not like dubbed shows or movies. or reworked shows for american audiences, the shows and movies lose too much!

When all of the movies everyone wants to see are made in the US of course people in the US will be focused inward.
Until recently other countries didn't even have the means to make a modern, high budget film and they are still way behind in many places.
I also think you folks are a little over the top with your condemnations. The few films that made it over here with subtitles (mostly asian films) that were actually good did fairly well. People will read subtitles if you give them something that is new and good.
Also, the remake in question has absolutely nothing at all to do with catering to American unwillingness to read subtitles, it has to do with the studio seeing an opportunity to make money.

Not judging the whole country. But movie executives definitely judge whether or not a movie is going to be successful by looking at the lower end of the spectrum.

Most of your people's posts could use subtitles, translating your stupid into coherent thoughts and sentences.
I will provide this service for a fee, although sometimes I've been known to do it gratis as a public service.
