July 4, 1757 the fates of the American Colonies were being dealt by the Empires that be, or so as the dominant narrative goes. As if the colonists had no part in the destiny of North America, except for the lading at Jamestown and 'first' celebration of Thanksgiving Day.
If the French won or at least maintained a smaller portion of North America? Would the colonies ever have rebelled with the threat of a French Empire?
In 1992 the best pre-Revolutionary Colonial American movie was made -
Last of the Mochians starring Daniel Day-Lewis and Madelyn Stowe. This film illustrates the lives, struggles, conflicts of the pre-Revolutionary ancestors of Canada and the US.
This war set up the historical fireworks for July 4, 1776. During this war the colonies were allied with Prussia for world dominance. Prussian-British victory after this nearly last of "Native American and French-Canadian Wars" put the English on a path for total world domination.
Usually the war depicted in the film is called the 'last' French and Indian War, but it was not. For the French would fight the United Kingdom one last time on the continent from 1778 until peace was resolved and the 13 colonies made independent. Although France was expelled from the mainland of North America she retained a few tiny isles in coastal areas of North America notably -
St. Pierre and Miquelon.
Thus France gained a modicum of justice when the British lost their first born in 1776. The American Revolution was also the proverbial final act or grand finale of the "French and Indian Wars" as the battles of the American Revolution involved "France" and "Indians."
British and regimental flags with markings can be seen in the film. The film maker,
Michael Mann, did his homework and it paid off.
This film also showed in brilliant color and depth the role that aboriginal-Americans played. Previously before the 1960s Native Americas were portrayed in tacky one dimensional cartoonish like fashion who needed to be taught good western values with great insult to their religion and way of life.
In this film the negative and positive ways of aboriginal Native and Old World Newcomer Americans are dealt with, in an more honest light.
In any case here is a proposed Royal Standard for King Charles the III that, finally, includes the heraldic essence of Wales. Usually the three golden lions go for a double play. This flag includes the kingdoms of England, Northern Ireland, Wales, and Scotland. It'd be need'in a dragon on the flag. Aye, dragons are the wee coolest thing!
In 2008 Oprah was given the honor to address the graduates of Stanford University. In it she relays some of her best advice and experiences. Behind Oprah Winfrey you can see the flag of the United States and Stanford waving in the background. 
Oprah is a rare voice of reason, inspiration, and education amongst a jungle of powerful obnoxious egos. Originally from Mississippi, she is the proverbial rags to riches story. But riches earned from a dedicated and unquenchable thirst for life and wish to serve others. Oprah is willing to stretch her mind and push on the comfort zone, to boldly think and ask where no woman, or man for that matter, has thought before. Yet with all her success and fame, Oprah has kept her head on Earth. Oprah paradoxically shines both as a superstar and in a humble warm friendly folksy light as Auntie O.
The Eye of the Tiger hit the airwaves in 1982 and was created by the band Survivor with a push from Silvester Stallone. Vexilloid like items appear at the end of the video as a golden wavy background while the band plays.
Imagine if you could erase unwanted memories? Would you undergo the procedure? Certainly such a kind of technology is on the horizon. Many already pop happy pills to alter their mood and can not function normally without the aid of intoxicants due to social anxiety. 
More conventional flags also appear in the movie. During the flea market scene a person is wearing a hat with a US flag on it and colourful sales pennants can be seen fluttering in the background. Also notice that this is a shot of memory being erased so the people in the background are loosing their faces. Another vexilloid antenna can be seen on the remote control airplane controller - it has a long blue streamer along the end.
