    Default "The Confederate States of America"

    Someone sent my sister a copy of this film. She has given it to me to watch, which I haven't done yet.
    The premise is the Confederacy having won the Civil War, and the film being a "documentary" look at the history of the CSOA. With a bit of a twist.
    With the prevailing attitude of many DP members towards the Confederacy, perhaps some of you might enjoy it.
    Here is a link a found for the film on Amazon:

    I saw this movie! it is very campy to say the least. it is a "COMEDY" mocumentry (fake documentry). it was not done for "real". You might enjoy the commercials they put in the film.

    The movie was obviously produced and directed by a VERY liberal and biased individual. It does nothing but make fun and insult EVERY white and southern person.

    Ehhh, I saw this a few years ago. Really interesting idea done in as simple a way as possible. It's every much as dumb and cliched as any Larry the Cable Guy routine.

    You ruined it for her man- she thought it was an actual documentary.

    I read the book, about 20 to 30 years ago. It was a pure speculation book and in the end the confederates and union reunited. I didn't know someone actually took this to the level of making a movie of it.

    I know it is a "mockumentary" film. But it would place a bunch of you in feel good land for a couple of hours or so.

    Not really, its a crappy movie! Like I said in my earlier post it was obviously directed and written by some loony liberal that "thinks" they know how southerners and white think. Unfortunately all they did was perpetuate stereotypes. Don't whites in general get all kinds of grief if THEY use stereotypes??? Or is it only fair if it is directed towards whites?????

    I know a lot of others things that would put me in feel good land that I would actually enjoy.
    What is life without honour? Degradation is worse than death. We must think of the living and of those who are to come after us, and see that by God's blessing we transmit to them the freedom we have ourselves inherited.
