(film review) [STREAMING] - Borat Subsequent Moviefilm: Delivery of Prodigious Bribe to American Regime for Make Benefit Once Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan

I almost died when I watched the first Borat movie.  I'm aware that this is an expression and even though I am using it in such context, I was legit trying to catch my breath.  There was a scene where Borat has a fight with his friend and they are naked in a Hotel.  Chaos ensues and I found it absolutely hilarious that I was crying and trying to breath and struggling.  When I approached watching this sequel, I feel that, maybe I rushed it.  I had a plan to set up with my Nachos and dip the second day it came out and I ended up being too tired to watch.  I tried again in the week but again, too tired to watch.  So eventually, I decided to watch it and although I know how funny the character Borat is, I feel I should not have rushed watching this, set aside 5 hours over a day or 2 and watched the first movie again just to prep myself for the sequel.  Maybe, just maybe, I'll edit this a little later having watched the first one again then the second, but although this movie was good and maybe it is due to not being able to catch lightening in a bottle, TWICE, or maybe I forced it or was tired or not in the mood, I just felt that this sequel was good, but nowhere as good as the first one.

The movie takes place 14 years after the original and Borat has been locked up for the shame he brought to Kazakhstan.  To regain his freedom and not be executed, Borat must again travel to America and gift his daughter to someone in a position of power or authority.  Once in America, Borat has to teach his daughter how to be like an American woman but to also keep the core values that all Kazakhstan women have grown up on.

First off, as if you didn't know, this film is WILD!  Sacha, although a comedian and also a character actor, this guy is fearless.  I understand that, in certain situations, he had to wear a bulletproof vest because this guy will tow the line of pushing people to the very edge and considering this film has taken a 6 months to 9 months to complete, within the world we are living in now and the strange climate with the Corona Virus and socially distancing, this guy has pulled off such a feat when you also factor in the racial tension and presidency.  Fearless!!!

The lady who play his daughter, equally fearless and she ultimately steals the show from being a young unassuming woman who will do whatever her father wants because she loves her father, to then realising that her father could be wrong in the things he says, does and practices.  The film is more about their bond but also the corruption within America and the brainwashing or should I say, the views of the American people.  There is a hilarious scene with them both doing a dance in front of people and it is hilarious.

I found this film charming at times, hilarious at moments and some of the gags were soo soo good.  Finding out before the movie came out there was backlash, was definitely no surprise to me, of course there would be, this guy pokes the bear, but to understand where he is going with this, is to shine a light on the American people.  To shine a light on the democrats and republicans or the American people and their ideologies and whom they follow.  How some of the values, teachings and such that our fathers and their fathers have been taught, to break the generational teachings and adapting to the new age.  For example, there were 3 white guys Borat stayed with who were alright people.  They were honest and upfront, but some of their views were skewed.  But to also have Borat in their home, a blatant foreigner, meant they didn't really care for him being foreign, you know but they stuck strong to their views.  There is no manual on how to live your life for you and your family.  Moreover, some of the things we do in life are wrong.  the views we have are wrong or how we act towards people are wrong and sometimes people will not know any better because it is all they know.  I feel this movie challenges you to look at yourself and the people around you.  I also believe the book in the movie the daughter carries plays a huge role in society now.

It's definitely something to watch and Sacha a very clever and talented man, but I will let you know that there are a few bits in the trailer which are NOT in the movie as he has tried his best to get this movie out before the voting happened and had likely made some edits to keep with the flow of the movie.  Let's just hope what he set out to do wasn't in vain and if anything, at least it was a enjoyable movie to watch.

(trailer review) - Borat Subsequent Moviefilm: Delivery of Prodigious Bribe to American Regime for Make Benefit Once Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan

First of all, I would be lying if I said I wasn't interested in watching this movie.  The first one, even though I didn't go into the story or any details much, due to spoilers of course, I can tell you that I laughed soo hard that I found it soo difficult to breathe whist tears was streaming down my face.  The movie was THAT funny.  Considering the film is 14 years old, it was the scene where Borat was fighting his friend naked in the hotel.  I DIED.  Simply watching this trailer for the sequel, the line where he says to the police officer "Only man and bears are allowed inside car" is just hilarious! I honestly feel, there will be MORE insane moments like the wrestling fight with his friend i the first one and more outrageous things said, like in the middle where he says, "did you ever put one inside your daughter" referencing a baby. 

There is nothing much more to say other than the trailer speaks loudly for itself and I hope we all get to see this before the election.  Also, the full title is absolutely ridiculous! 

Directed by Jason Woliner and starring Sacha Baron Cohen

(Vintage Film Reviews) Borat - Cultural Learnings Of America For Make Benefit Glorious Nation Of Kazakhstan

Borat, full name Borat Sagdiyev is said to be born in July 30th 1972, who is a Kazakhstani Journalist who goes around to different cities and countries to learn from their culture to benefit his home country.

For those who do not know, Borat is a fictional character played by Sacha Baron Cohen, an English comedian.
Sacha's character Borat, first appeared on Da Ali G show, where Sacha also played Ali G among other fictionl characters. Setting up and arranging interviews with the public who ostensibly believe that the interviews are sincere and legitimate.

The Borat film 'Borat - Cultural Learnings of America For Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan' is just that. DO not mistake this for a film and do not take the entire show seriously. This is indeed a Mocumentary that only (possibly) a handful of people know what is going on, but everyone else is totally obivious. In saying that, this is a documentary that will have repercussions as people do feel that the entire show is indeed sincere.

This low budget documentary takes the viewers on a journey with Borat from his home country of Kazakhstan to the United States. You get to see his country, his village and his neighbours. You then get to meet his family briefly before he ventures off to America.

We are then following Borat from New York where he lands, to California where he has plans to make Pamela Anderson his wife. On the journey, he visits a few states and meets a lot of different people along the way before returning home.

When watching this show, i was in a lot of shock/horror with my mouth partly opened and one hand over it. I couldn't believe what i was seeing in some scenes and in other scenes, i was in tears with laughter.

Borat makes a mockery out of all the people in such a way, most occasions the audience will find him funny and the people who are being mocked will either, 1 - get offended, 2 - laugh it off as they don't have a clue or 3 - go along with it.

The documentary has anti-semitism, racism, sexcism, homophobia, prejudices and all sorts throughout, but it is down to the individual to either laugh or cry.

This is most definately a documentary EVERYONE will need to watch at some stage in their life. I dont think many will find the whole documentary outrageously offensive, except maybe the people in the documentary, but this is most definitely a documentary to watch and own.
