Summary

This quote suggests that the English film industry tends to shy away from expressing or portraying patriotism in their films, often feeling cautious or uncertain about it. The idea of being proud of one's country is regarded with hesitation or unease in English films, possibly due to historical contexts or concerns of nationalism being seen as problematic. It indicates that patriotism is a complex and sensitive topic within the English film industry, leading many to approach it with reticence.
