Was expecting it to be like a 10 out of 10 as Band of Brothers, but aside from all the good camerawork, set & wardrobe design and CGi, so many characters are crammed into these 8 episode and so many of them just appeared and disappeared without too much character development. I understand the history needs to memorize all these heroes, and all of them are equally deserve a time slot in the show, no matter black or white, politically correct, but it just dragged down the show itself. At the end I didn't know what I had been watching in these 8 episodes, I'd rather watch a History Channel documentary about Allies Airforce than this one.

You can't compare it to Borat, it is not even close to Borat. Borat is a character created by sarcastic genius Sasha Baren Cohen to poke the boundary and absurdity of so called American Identity, so as other character he created, such as Ali G, Bruno, these characters all appears in his TV series on a frequent basis, so people would get what he is trying to do behind of those jokes.

In Borat the movie at least in the end it is a sarcastic retort to all the aspect in the US, that US is actually not as good as it seems. It's about embracing American value goes wrong. But Vive le France is just a shallow imitation. In the end it's about embracing the French value. That's why the racial appropriation in This movie is very inappropriate and very discriminating.
