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

Alex · 11-15-2006, 08:11 AM

I could have sworn I'd posted about seeing it but I guess not.

Anyway, to recap what I thought I had posted:

1) I laughed a lot.

2) Like iSm, I'm not big on punk'd and practical joke type humor. But most of the laughs were in the scripted parts of the movie.

3) I was surprised that in most of the "unstaged" encounters, it is only Borat that comes off looking like a moron. For the most post people respond appropriately, patiently, and have to be pushed very hard before they start to respond negatively to him. If anything, it shows how far most of us will go to avoid conflict.

4) I was disappointed to learn that the scenes filmed in Romania were not staged (as I had assumed).

5) So I laughed a lot but feel like something of a **** for doing so.
