Here is nothing to learn

Rating: 1/10 (23 November 2006)

My impression of Americans is that they are big mouthed. But I cannot say that I know or even vaguely understand the American psyche. When I chose to see this film, it was to learn more about Americans. Surely there must be something to learn from a nation who leads the world and who keeps on producing leaders and leading discoveries for the rest of the world to follow. It also surely says a lot that a nation can succeed in extending it's culture around the world. I was aware of the fact that this film would portray a not-so-good-side of Americans. But I was curious to see what it was that made Americans so-called "bad".
What a disappointment! The "badness" of Americans portrayed in this film, could have come from any nation or country. We are all humans and in this film I could only see what people in general are like.
However, what shocked me was the blatant disrespect shown towards the people of Kazakhstan. I am from the Afrikaner group who are also often portrayed as backward and utterly stupid. Therefore I can sympathize with the Kazaks. This is not funny. It is prejudiced and unrealistic.
