I found it decent, but I thought thy could have gone a little deeper and been a bit more broad with it. Certain parts were hilarious as charged, but I think they could have gone a little more outrageous.

SPOILER:

Personally, I thought the sequence where Borat suddenly bags Pamela Anderson was the most shocking and hilarious part of the film. I've wondered how much of the movie is staged, simple because they had to keep the plot moving according to the script. The Pamela Anderson attempted kidnap scene was well done if it was just an act, but I can't imagine how Cohen avoided legal action if she wasn't in on it. She'd probably be more pissed that it was for movie footage, planned out and intentional, than if some ignorant smelly Khazaki had actually believed it was legal to join a woman in marriage against her will (as if she'd still be available for bagging if it was, lol).

I also loved Borat playing the "poser" while he tried to get a room at the hotel.

Borat: "What's up wit' it Vanilla Face? We need some place to rest our black-asses for the night. Only 2 pimps, no whoe's..."

Absolutely classic, I dunno how this guy writes this **** XD


On a side note, I think it was really foolish of him to actually name a country of origin. I mean, he could have made up a fake country and nobody'd be the wiser, like in "The Terminal" (Krakovia). After all, he's royally pissed off the nation of Khazakstan by his portrayal of one. Although, it was funny to hear in Entertainment Weekly that he appeared as Borat outside the White House, advertising the film while the Khazaki Prime Minister was visiting. I'd imagine such a thing would invoke an immediate hiss of "YOU!!!" from him.

None of it was staged, except for the bits (obviously) in 'Khazakstan', and the bit with Pam. Well, she was in on it, but the guards sure as hell weren't. They took him down for real, :p.

Some of the Americans in that film scare me. I hope you aren't all as prejudiced and ignorant as the people in the movie.

A lot of people have prejudices, but they aren't keen to let on about them with others. The Borat character has a gift of bringing these out, but no, I assure you, in the US, most people were genuinly shocked to hear drunk-off-their-ass teenagers talk about how much they want slavery returned, hear a fat Southern cowboy say he wanted to see it become law that homosexuals be hung, and hear a cars-salesman suggest the right speed to kill a gypsy with a hummer, and a gun-salesman prescribe the right firearm for killing a Jew.

Also keep in mind that Borat's drive through the US was DEEP in the Southern section of the US (The South) which is typically where the rednecks reside. I don't agree with homosexuality myself, I'm rather prejudice in that regard, but I certainly don't want to see them hung haulocast style. One of my best friends is homosexual actually. If he'd changed his route to pass through the Northern part of the US, you'd see a very different movie.

Also remember that he must have taken a lot more footage than was seen. The stuff you see in the film was hand picked amongst piles on the cutting room floor. What's in the film are the most violent and outrageous reactions of people. I assure you that New York train-ride lasted a lot longer than you saw.

Yeah, there are prejudiced people here, but then again, that's everywhere in the world. The majority isn't like that, or at least they try not to be, because we've all been taught in this generation that all humans are equal.

Most of us aren't. I'll check it out sometime. I just love the commercial where he says "I support America's War of Terror" and everyone cheers. That's awesome.

The makers of the film are actually being sued by [Minor spoiler here] the college kids that got drunk with borat in the movie. They said that they were manipulated into saying the things they said.

"The nation's Federal Agency for Culture and Cinematography has officially banned the film from playing in all Russian theaters. Their given reasoning was that "The film contains material that some viewers may consider offensive to certain nationalities and religions," or so says FACC's Ivan Drago Yury Vasyuchkov. This would mark the first time that a non-porno film has been banned in Russia and the irony is that plenty of hardcore porn films aren't banned."

Russia is sucking up to all muslim nations to keep the appearance of "Islam's Bodyguard". It's just politics, so they'll keep the hardcore snuff films.

Did the college kids sign a contract or something that says producers are allowed to include that segment in the movie? If so, the college kids should have known better.

"I was drunk when I signed it. Yep."

"**** you."

It is a movie you watch once and never see again. I thought it was hilarious but simultaneously the most absurdly embaressing and awkward movie I've ever seen with friends. Jackass on crack.

I loved it :D I need to see it again, i missed out on some parts because i was laughing too much

The naked fight, omg, what didn't they do, the sheer awkwardness of the situation in the elevator XD "My sister used to say to my retard brother Bilal "You can't have this you can't have this you can't have this" then one day he broke out and got it. HIGH FIVE!!" And when they asked Borat to leave the premisces after he walked into the hotel after his talk with the people in the ghetto, too funny. I thought the Spain was bad with discrimination, but America is something else O_O

Actually, the line was:
Borat: "My Brother Bilal, he have very funny...retardation. Sometimes, my sister, she show him her vagin' and would say "You will never get this, you will bever get this, lalalalala!" Crazy crazy, everybody laugh! But one day, he break a' cage and he GET this! And now WE all laugh..."

Comedy Guy: *Disturbed and a little shocked* "Um...no, people would not find that funny in America..."

Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan

I just saw it, and it may very well be the funniest thing I have ever seen in my entire life. I've always loved Sascha Baron Cohen. Da Ali G Show on HBO is what really got me into his work.

Did you know that he's never done an interview out of character?

Edit: My two favorite quotes from the movie:

"In Kazakhstan, we have the Running of the Jews."

"In Kazakhstan, we keep them in cages."

*SPOILER IN WHITE*

I loved the part where he was talking to the priest. Funny ****:

Borat: "Does Jesus like me?"
Priest: "Yes, Jesus loves you!"
Borat: "Does Jesus like my neighbor?"
Priest: "Yes, Jesus loves your neighbor!"
Borat: "But nobody likes my neighbor..."
The priest looks around, rather confused.
Borat: "Does Jesus like my brother?"
Priest: "Yes, Jesus loves your brother too!"
Borat: "But my brother is retard. In Kazakhstan, we keep them in cages."
