| 1 | * AccidentallyCorrectWriting: It may seem Lars von Trier was not interested in telling the stories about racism and enslaved people's plight, but rather to tell an allegorical story that deconstructs WhiteMansBurden by setting in a hypothetical 20th-century Southern plantation. However, his 20th-century plantation scenario [[https://www.vice.com/en/article/437573/blacks-were-enslaved-well-into-the-1960s actually occurred in real world]] - even well into the 1960s, thirty years after the setting of this movie. |
| 2 | * BoxOfficeBomb: The film brought in only $675,000 against a $14 million budget, far lower than even the $16 million box office of ''Dogville''. |
| 3 | * FakeAmerican: British actors were cast as nine out of the twelve slaves portrayed in the film, because American actors steered away from the film due to its content. |
| 4 | * TheOtherDarrin: Both characters from ''Film/{{Dogville}}'' are played by different actors. Creator/BryceDallasHoward replaces Creator/NicoleKidman as Grace, and Creator/WillemDafoe replaced Creator/JamesCaan as her father. |
