my cousin, kuya mike, lend me his DVD copy of Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan..oo, dapat talaga buo yung title. i thought it's gonna be one heck of a laugh ride, i was wrong. it insinuated variety of emotions from me i didn't expect a comic movie can do. it was like Wildboys and Jackass with sense.
it was a rather seminal work if you ask me. well my knowledge regarding movies is just miniscule so i reckon this critique of mine is rather subjective. anyway, i find the concept unique. like a semi/pseudo- documentary. without any backgrounder anyone would have thought that i sascha baron cohen is an authentic kazakh and he is actually doing it for kazakh TV... well the hell i care what he really is, as far as i am concern i like borat's character,. though most of the time he makes fun of himself and we are actually laughing at him. though he seemd to be not aware of it...talk about blithe innocence. nah, maybe not!!
although at times i really got offended to some of borat's antics, i must say i admire the movie for being unapologetic. borat might have masturbated in public in broad daylight, or he might have invited a prostitute to a high society dinner, or he might have tried to put pamela anderson in to a "wedding sack", or the Jewish might have been seriously bashed, but the movie didn't give any justification to defend borat's actions. it's just plain cultural differences. i wonder if the kazakhs got offended on how borat portrayed them?
just a tip, if you just want to laugh out loud, leave your principles for 2 hours inside the fridge before you watch Borat. this, by the way, i didn't do. hence, my advice...*wink*
