Another thing I liked about this film was how it put a mirror up in the face of people he talked to. Yes, they were drunk but people when they're drunk become uninhibited and say what they really think. ie. Mel Gibson. Yeah, I feel really sorry for those drunk, racist, misogynistic bastards...
In one scene, he spoke with a gentleman in a southern rodeo who actually said that he was working on seeing gays hang from trees. The 'innocent' Borat brought that out of him. No alcohol there. I'm glad that film immortalized that man's hate for all to see. Yeah, I feel really sorry for that bastard.
A lot of the humiliation was brought to the character himself.
The one thing I will agree with is that the village was grossly underpaid. That is sad. But in the end I'm sure they will be compensated. They should sue.
I don't understand how people can judge the film without seeing it. I totally disagree with that. Even I dragged my ass to my friend's DVD player and watched Gibson's "Passion" snuff film after agreeing with the idea that I shouldn't judge it until I saw it...
