Borat a Blast

Many Americans are hung up with being politically correct, so hung up that they refuse to see the humor in certain comedy especially comedy poking fun at life in the United States. Borat is a movie that requires a willingness to accept the politically incorrect in order to enjoy the fun. What makes this movie so good is that it pokes fun at everybody.

This sensational full-length mocumentary features Sacha Baron Cohen who plays a kazakhstani journalist sent to the United States to find out what life is like in the good ole' U.S. The real humor comes from the fact that Cohen actually went from place to place playing this culturally bizarre Kazak. From New York to Los Angeles he entertains in various ways, such as constantly kissing every male who tries to interview him, singing the Kazak national anthem to the tune of the U.S. anthem at a rodeo, bringing a hooker to a gathering of cultural elites, and trying to put Pamela Anderson in a sack so that he can marry her.

Numerous people have raised a fuss because Borat isn't sensitive to many cultures, but that's the entire point of the film. Cohen uses the role of the Kazak journalist to show how his cultural background interferes with his interactions with alls sorts of Americans. He makes the audience realize that lots of negagive sterotypes that we hear about other cultures are just plain wrong or misunderstood.

So take the chance and go and see Borat. You won't be disappointed. Just beware the wrestling scene, I'm still waking up in the middle of the night in cold sweats with that visual in my head.
