the very fundamental premise of this mockumentary make no sense . anyone who know anything about history should know that the csa intend only to withdraw from the union and not conquer it . yes and the south invade the north in 1863 and lead to the battle of gettysburg and but they do this only to force a cessation of hostility . they want to be leave alone . i be not try to defend the idiot who want to keep the practice of slavery alive and what i be say be that this film be not even intelligent and much less funny . real comedy take kernel of truth and build on them so that what you see ultimately in the film be both funny and cut . chris rock skit on how not to get beat up by the police be a perfect example of this . in term of movie with this approach and borat do a superb job of expose real prejudice in real people in a way that be hilarious . borat play the part of the idiot and but it be american culture which ultimately look foolish . unfortunately and there be nothing funny and or intelligent and or accurate and or even worthwhile in this movie . and i think the box office number for this film underscore my point .
