Borat

Jagshemash!

A couple of weeks ago I went to the moviefilms with Clouds and Gio to watch "Borat", a must see 2006 winter season cult movie... very funny, although few parts pushed a bit to an extreme... the movie is about a Kazakh journalist sent to the US&A to study their cultural behaviors, and it's subdivided into stand alone parts... it's a real demential comedy, a mix between candid camera-style sections and actor studio parts... I have been watching the other character of Sacha Cohen, Ali G, since it aired few years back, and this is another big bull's-eye from this talented comedian... although Ali G was a rapper with a grammar of his own and Borat is a Kazakh journalist with a behavior of his own, the technique is the same: use catchy phrases that easily stick into people's minds... and it works, again! Respect... sorry, old fashion... I mean, VERY NICE!

It's a must see anyway, and the it's a real hit everywhere around the world, either at the box office, either at censorship offices, like in Russia and most of the Middle-East, where the movie was banned... please, come and see it, where you can... in any case, Borat (full title: Borat, cultural learnings of America for make benefit glorious nation of Kazakhstan) is a great success... everyday you read about him, not always positively (yesterday he was assaulted in NYC from someone who CLEARLY didn't like his movie) but no matter if positive or negative, news make up for valuable free advertisement... he also received a large number of lawsuits against, from people who felt betrayed, insulted, or just want more money... all this is simply endorsing his success... he recently was also a guest of Conans, where he tried to harvest Conan's red pubic hairs...


What makes this movie special, apart from the fact that it shows how ****** Americans are in general (after all he supports their war OF terror...), it's that it sticks into your mind, and everyone uses the phrases of the movie over and over again, and still laughs about them... I LIKE, YOU LIKE?? There are way too many to possibly mention them all, and there are some of the situations in the moviefilm that simply cannot be described, you just need to see to believe it...

Well, since I have been in Budapest it's been a Borat-oriented period with the colleagues here... HIGH FIVE! He is part of our daily conversations and makes many situations even more ridiculous than they are...

And as Borat says, go see it, there is just enough antisemitism to pass Kazakh tight moviefilms rules :)
