Was Anyone From Alabama Offended by this Movie???

Not from Alabama but I was offended. The people are portrayed as trailer park homophobes who raise their children in bars and cannot let go of the Confederacy. Slapping Southerners as stereotypes seems to be just fine.


I came to Casablanca for the waters.....

Okay, I am not American and have never been to Alabama. I wouldn`t mind traveling there though. Anyways, I liked this movie but I guess I would understand you being offended. It offends me when tv shows like NCIS have Canadians practically living in igloos and saying the word 'eh' and saying that Tony Dinozzo doesn't speak Canadian. Canadian isn`t a language, it`s only a country, oh and saying that we are all about hockey, which is so untrue because I don`t like hockey.

I grew up in LA (lower Alabama) near the gulf coast. Sure, we have some people like in the movie but most aren't. I now live in Canada east of Toronto and I get comments about my accent all the time and once even had someone ask me if it is really like this movie in Alabama! Of course when I was moving up here I had folks in Montgomery, AL, ask me if there were penguins roaming the streets in Toronto so it goes both ways.

It is a movie, it didn't offend me but I probably enjoyed it less than someone not from the deep south would.

Ok. Lets put the record straight. I am from Alabama. There is a Greenville AL, I pass it everytime I go visit my parents in Montgomery because I live in Mobile. Of course the movie was shot in Georgia, but Bobby Rays home could double as a plaintation home on several acres in Al. I know cause my ex-husbands family lives on one. Yes it's furnished like a Civil war museum. And yes, my ex mother in law is a member of the DAR and DOC, Junior League and the Country club. They are " old money". You can Google the family name and it is politically and socially famous.
I, on the other hand, was not a deb, my parents were from WV hillbilly country coal mines and lived in a house with wheels. People do give us a second thought when we tell them were we are from. But here's what we do have. An awesome science technology up north at Nasa and Browns Ferry, 2 large universities that train doctors, lawyers, engineers, pharmacists, scientists, and do transplant and heart innovations, with great football teams!. We have the coast and the mountains that you can get to in one day. Not much snow, but fall and spring are awesome. And we value our children and our land. Don't mess with either. They are God given. And about accents, my ex husband is born and bred here and has no accent, my son also. And they both have PhDs and BS degrees respectively.
