saw c.s.a: the confederate states of america last night with mary ellen; the movie is a mockumentary on how america was shaped after the south won the civil war. there were moments that were especially itchy, and those moments for me were mainly the "commercials" that aired between the mockumentary's segments. in all honesty, they were making me very, very uncomfortable -- i don't want to give away anything as to the content, you can be offended on your own -- and had me beginning to believe that the filmmakers were simply making these fake commercials because they could, under the pretense of making this film, get away with the horrible racial slurs. then comes the end of the film -- the very end -- and it just made me mad. a very interesting movie -- thank god for the north -- but if you're getting offended and think that some sort of south parkian prank is being pulled, i implore you to stay until the end.
