Pagans are always a confidant

Many people have heard of a movie called "Confederate States of America", CSA: The Confederate States of America. This aerial history film, filmed in 2004, takes the form of a virtual documentary to record such a history. If the American Civil War was won by the American South and the slavery system was preserved, what about the subsequent 150 years of American history? So USA became CSA. The film critic tells this fictional history from the perspective of a British television station.

In terms of the creativity and genre of the film, this "Death of the President" is exactly the same as the Confederate States of America. The story is drawn from real news time and tells the story of President Bush’s visit to the Chicago business community after a party, becoming the fifth American president to be assassinated after Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley, and John Kennedy.

In terms of the probability of becoming a national leader and being assassinated, the probability of the president of the United States, a democratic country, is a little higher. There was Kennedy Reagan in the early years. Therefore, there are many film and television works showing the assassination of the US president. However, why such movies that make fun of living people are not banned? This is something Chinese people living in the Eastern tradition cannot understand at all.

The story adopts a completely documentary approach. Long after the incident, interviews with various people present at the time, such as the president’s staff, personal guards, news media, Chicago local police, FBI, and arrested suspects, killers and killers’ family members etc.

This section of the suspect is very spoof, including liberals, Greens, veterans, Arab Americans, and almost all kinds of people who may oppose the current government. Of course, there is a lack of conservatives. If it is the president of the Democratic Party, I am afraid there will be conservative killers who oppose abortion laws.

This is a very rigorously produced comedy, because if the whole film is a real documentary, it is undoubtedly a very serious movie, but everyone who watches the movie will smile knowingly because of this spoof.

Although the subject matter is a spoof, the problems illustrated by the film itself are very serious. For a country's political power, the liberals are an itch, and no matter how it is done, it is also a contradiction among the people. And those foreigners with heretical beliefs are the real confidant.

    There are still loopholes in logic, and it cannot reach the perfect pseudo-documentary level.

    Fake documentary. I don't know what Bush will think when he sees it.
