Rich Hall sets his keen eye and acerbic wit on his homeland once again as he sifts truth from fiction in Hollywood's version of the southern states of the USA.
I'm a southerner, and in my life I've never seen anyone deconstruct the region with greater intelligence than Rich Hall brings to the subject. This piece absolutely reeks of the truth.

Since a young age I’ve been fanatical about Burt Reynolds movies since an early age and own every single one including Operation C.I.A and W.W And The Dixie Dancekings. So along with Wrestling and NASCAR i had a real Southern upbringing and I didn’t even start on the music

Correction, Rich Hall: though he died living there, Mark Twain did NOT go down from Connecticut and write about the South as a northerner outsider; he grew up on the Mississippi River and was from Hannibal MO, his childhood home and the setting for the books Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn which made him world famous. The reason he eventually left the South was the devastating loss of his brother, a young riverboat pilot. Your remarks would make Sam Clemens roll over in this grave! and hurl an insult your way!

This is insightful and all true for the most part, it's refreshing to see someone so pointedly outspoken against Hollywood and the stereotyping of the South etc. I have a small bit of disagreement with Easy Rider however: Fonda and Hopper's characters becoming martyrs isn't my reading at all; just before the scene we get Fonda's cryptic remarks around a campfire that they've failed, that somehow what they've done or were hoping to see isn't good after all. These are not angels killed by the ignorant, but people who've gone wrong somewhere along the line themselves.

Went to a white elementary school, then busing of children happened in Gaston County. An amazing time to witness, the mixing of cultures (like it or not). For the first time I had black friends, even though the neighborhoods (Masonic Temple and the Gaston Country Club) were still segregated. Some of my family and old friends still live there, but downtown Gastonia is now pretty much dead. There are bars in G-Town now. I moved to upstate SC 29 years ago.

Great documentary through the lens of a humorist. This is as balanced as it gets an exposition of the South seen through the entertainment of the West. However, it only scratches the surface. I was born in Ohio and moved with my parents to North Carolina in 1978 at the age of 11, not far from where Rich Hall grew up. I've been a student of my southern home since then. Hollywood doesn't portray the South very well, but it gets a lot of stereotypes wrong as if a stereotype does anyone justice anyway. My first person exposure to African Americans was when we moved South. My only preparation had been television, primarily Good Times and Fat Albert. Even then, I knew that probably wasn't representative of what I would encounter in the South. My family had some financial hardship when we first moved and for a time I had holes in the patches of my highwaters. That's enough to earn derision from just about anyone. A few of the white kids were pretty well-off and they made fun of me, but most of the white kids were okay. It was the black kids who treated me the best at that time and I even had a girlfriend who happened to be African-American then. The South - white, black, and indifferent - has been good to me.

There are great places in the South where Southern Hospitality is portrayed to its max and , at the same time, there's uninviting places where people are ignorant and want to punch foreigners in the face. The wrong thing is to claim that this is a Southern thing - it happens anywhere on the planet. Tell me that it doesn't happen in the Northern states of the US of A (and expect me to laugh 'cause it'd be clearly a joke). Poorer places tend to be hostile to foreigners. Some studies show that the poorer the place, the more prejudice and hostility towards minorities and foreigners one is expected to find. Heaven and Hell can be found in America (anywhere in America: North, South, East, West and Center).

*Mottahead* - I also find that the more educated a person is, the more they tend to shit on the working class and behave condescendingly towards them, and those educated people tend to lean to the left politically. I have a university degree and don't consider myself conservative by any means, but I certainly notice this behavioral pattern among learned elites.
