The CSA Movie

Polish Eagle

Every time this movie is brought up, people here answer that the film is not really AH as we normally use it, but a satire of race-relations in the United States that uses AH as its vehicle.

So...can someone explain the satire? I watched the film a few times, and I don't get it. :confused:

The filmmakers use the image of a faux-CSA victory and its racist philosophy to point out what they consider to be continuing racism in the real USA of our timeline. It is not an attempt to guestimate what a victorious CSA would do but is an ironic take on the modern USA.

It was the ads which were the main point. You see this ludicrously insane scenario with a Nazi superpower empire and you take the ads as dark humour along the way, as all these products existed, or still do, it becomes a black mirror.

Not that smart, but still a nice twist.

Ah, now I get it. I was looking in the wrong place. The ads make more sense as satire than the actual 'documentary' does--like that one encouraging Confederates to notify authorities of someone of questionable descent being satire of terrorism paranoia.

That movie was stupid. I stopped watching after their version of the Home Shopping Network were selling slaves.
