question: What is the country of origin of Brian Stepanek and the film The Island?
answer: American
context: Title: Corsica wine
  Passage: Corsica wine is wine made on the Mediterranean island of Corsica.  Located 90 km west of Italy, 170 km southeast of France and 11 km north of the island of Sardinia, the island is a territorial collectivity of France, but many of the region's winemaking traditions and its grape varieties are Italian in origin.  The region's viticultural history can be traced to the island's settlement by Phoceans traders in 570 BC in what is now the commune of Aléria.  In the 18th century, the island came under the control of France.  Following the independence of Algeria from French rule, many Algerian "Pieds-Noirs" immigrated to Corsica and began planting vineyards.  Between 1960 and 1976 the vineyard area in Corsica increased fourfold.  In 1968, Patrimonio was established as Corsica's first "Appellation d'origine contrôlée" (AOC).  Today, Corsica has nine AOC regions including the island-wide designation Vin de Corse AOC.  The majority of the wine exported from Corsica falls under the Vin de pays designation "Vin de Pays de l'Île de Beauté" (Country wine from the Island of Beauty).  The three leading grape varieties of the region are Nielluccio, known as the spice wine of France, Sciacarello and Vermentino.

  Title: Capetian-Plantagenet rivalry
  Passage: The conflict between the dynasties of the Capetians and Plantagenets covers a period of 100 years (1159-1259), during which the Kingdom of France fought against the Angevin Empire.  This conflict is also called by some historians, the "First Hundred Years War."  The conflict is primarily French, since both dynasties were French, the nobles that made up the English army were essentially of French origin, and the foot soldiers of the English king were local recruits in France (Anjou, Guyenne, Normandy, Brittany etc.).  At this period, the English king's continental possessions were considered more important than his island possessions, and significantly greater than even those of the French sovereign, even if the latter was the overlord of the former for most of the possessions he held on the continent.  And the official language of the two belligerents is the French of that time.  French also remained the official language of England until 1361.  Such is the origin of the expressions that can still be found today on the shields and coat of arms of the English monarchy "Honi soit qui mal y pense" and "Dieu et mon droit".  The English kings, who were of French origin, took wives from France from the 11th to the 15th century.  Very rare are those who married a woman of another country, including the cadet branches.  Hence the Plantagenet monarchs were ethnically French.
