"Another question is...will these movies inspire separatism like that which swept the globe during the 1990's?"
wars of secession and partition are a global reality....it's just a matter of time before they begin in the United States....

Folks laugh at comments like yours, Stonewalls. They also tend not to be aware of how our country's national debt just reached an all time high of $6.3 trillion dollars:

even as baby-boomers are about to retire in droves. Central planning was perhaps more necessary before cyberspace emerged, but now folks want to tax and govern themselves instead of let "beneficent bureaucrats" thousands of miles away generously do it for them (at a fee, of course).
Any predictions as to what could happen? California as a state wants to secede, even if L.A. County and I think the San Fernando Valley recently voted to remain as one. I recall the Montana Freemen movement which was extinguished, along with the Branch Davidian movement in Waco, Texas. I also recall, though, how divided the U.S. map look as the red states voted for Bush, and the blue ones voted for the guy even Tennessee wouldn't support.
Canada's seccessionist referendum very narrowly failed, after numerous concessions were made. But our national debt's only going to get worse, and taxes will only increase as baby-boomers retire, cease paying taxes, and bankrupt social security. Where will the hotbeds be?
