BORAT: Sheer Comic Genius With Cojones!

Call it Racial, Anti- Semitic, Slapstick, Repulsive, Chauvinistic, Homophobic or just Side-Splittingly Funny…
It is only when you look behind the comedy, you see it for what it really is – A LOUD HARD SMACK IN THE FACE OF AMERICAN SOCIETY. No one is spared… making any goddamn American want to shoot Sacha Baron Cohen on sight.

They know it, you know it, they always showed it in all their ‘Hollywood’ Movies making everybody wished they had it; living the American Dream is the BEST and ONLY way of life?!! And he has managed to just take all of that, kick them in the nuts and still leave them screaming with laughter.
Borat, one of the characters played by Sacha Baron Cohen from his ‘Da Ali G Show’ TV series, is a Kazahstani TV Reporter who (in the film/mockumentary) is sent to US and A to learn about their culture and bring the knowledge back his glorious nation, on the way he happens to catch an episode of Baywatch and then spends the rest of the movie travelling across the US to make Pamela Anderson his wife.
On his travels, he meets up with all the ‘typical’ types of Americans i.e the drunken fraternity students, the Southern gospel preachers, the cowboys, the elite upper class, the African-Americans from the ghettos, the politicians to name a few and ends up showing the ignorance and stupidity of their beliefs and culture in a way in which you suddenly realize that’s it is not his character (the broken English, the accent, the fabricated Kazakhstani culture) you are actually laughing at …its them.
If you ever thought ‘Jackass: The Movie’ was grotesquely funny, it is only when you see the now soon to be infamous ‘nude wrestling scene’, you realise the ‘true meaning’ of those words. It is one of those movies in which every single line can be ‘quoted’.

Now a quick look at the man behind this comedic brilliance,

• Sacha Baron Cohen was born in London, attended Christ College at the University of Cambridge… for crying out loud!

• He is a hardcore orthodox Jew (although he spends most of the movie slandering them just so that he can actually reveal the prejudices against them).

• In his often 'unscripted' TV show,he plays three different characters Ali G (a wannabe gangsta rapper), Borat and Bruno (a gay Austrian fashion reporter) in which he interviews various celebrities and politicians, some of them who have believed that the interviews are sincere and legitimate and he rarely does any of his public interviews out of character.

So although surrounded with controversy, Borat The Movie Film is not racial, anti- Semitic, repulsive or chauvinistic at all …it is just Sarcasm at its Very Best!

JAGSHEMASH...NOW PLEASE STAND FOR THE KAZAKHSTANI NATIONAL ANTHEM! (or you will be execute...)
