Have heard mixed reviews about the movie, "Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan."
From a couple of friends who chortled throughout the movie, to a very good friend in Maryland, who was outraged by the racist opinions and incest-hints expressed throughout the movie, and called it outlandish balderdash, I've heard them all.
The mockumentary, starring Sacha Baron Cohen as the Kazakh journalist, Borat, has won its fair share of laffs though. An average journo, Borat was once married to a plough (gasp), loses his second wife(when a neighbor shoots her, mistaking her for a bear), goes on to buy a third wife (who does not bore him), sires three kids, keeps relations with three other women, once had a pet pig(which ended up on his dinner table), is a voyeur par excellence, and extremely anti-Semitist, all in all - a stuffy, offensive, bigot and a prick.
The guy does all that can annoy you, and more. Sometimes he also makes you guffaw, in spite of yourself. Like for instance, this song that he sings in a bar in Tucson(Arizona).
While some people have been hopping mad at his (often sleazy) antics, others are amused by his sincere attempts to marry "pure" Pamela Anderson(Ahem), and his whole-hearted efforts to kidnap and get "knotty" with her! Don't they say, Love is blind?!!
Whatever they may say about the movie, I'm gonna watch it and then form my own opinions.
Oh by the way, id I mention that he marries an Afro-American hooker in the end?
I guess even he couldn't digest the Pam and Tommy video shown to him by some sloshed students.
Don't blame the guy one inch.
