Saw it on Saturday with a lame crowd. Ill just repost my Usenet critique, which was in response to an American pundit whom panned it:


Quote from: meTalk about grasping at straws! An entire article about the "Elitist
Sneer" in a film. Talk about not "getting it", he might as well have
unclasped the left hinge of his skull, opened the cavity, and pointed
proudly to what looks suspiciously like a Diamond brand walnut.

I saw it on Saturday, and Im glad I got no popcorn or soda, as the
audience in front of me would have become soiled. I just about rolled
in the aisle when he saw cockroaches, then accused his Jewish hosts of
"shapeshifting" while throwing dollar bills at the bugs. I cringed when
the man at the rodeo suggested he shave his moustache so he looks "more
Italian, and less terrorist".

Whats the deal, did David Brooks see a different film? It had nothing
to do with elitism. I saw a lot of great American qualities being
celebrated in the film. How about the southern belle, whom upon being
proffered a bag of Borats feces, doesnt scream or recoil, but calmly
explains how to use a western style toilet. Or the youth in Atlanta who
seem to genuinely want to help this "foreigner" be a bit hip. Even the
uncomfortable driving instructor showed a great American desire to
accept folks, despite discomfort at being kissed.

What the film did was simply to shove the shadowy parts of the human
psyche into the light so that we may laugh and cringe at them. Its
humor on a heroic and brave scale. Too bad a lot of people on both the
PC left, and reactionary right just dont get it. Those of us in the
middle that still have the ability to laugh, should bring a spare pair
of underwear to the theater.

Sense of humour failure chap?
"Within your 'purview'? Where do you think you are, some f**king regency costume drama? This is a government department, not some f**king Jane f**king Austen novel!"

Quixoticish

I dont agree with Serious on very much but I have to on this.

Borat is the least funny thing Ive seen since Bo Selecta. The original Ali-G wasnt funny either.

Some folks have an inability to process humor. :lol:

For me it works on several different levels, in a painfully funny way. I love Andy Kaufman as well. Go figure.

"We make sex crime...HIGH FIVE!" :lol:

Badabing

it wasnt paritcularly good IMO.

The original Borat concept was sneaky satirical humour, this was just 18-21 yr old level slap stick/shock humour, all the younger people in thcringe humoure cinema were urinating themselves, but to me it was just cringed-based humour ...

disappointed, to be honest.
