Discovered “Borat” July 11, 2007

I may come across as the proverbial “tubelight” but I recently discovered the movie Borat. If you haven’t seen it yet, don’t wait to read the rest of this post. Just go out and grab the DVD. It is the most mind-numbingly hilarious movie I have seen – not so much for the comedy per se (which could border on slapstick at times), but for the utter and brazen irreverence for all things – well everything from politics, racism, sexism, sex itself…Hats off to Sacha Baron Cohen for the boldness and of course his performance.
A caveat though – there are no holds barred, everything that you always considered gross has been put on film in graphic/aural detail. A scene that comes to mind is Borat and his producer friend fighting in the nude with Borat’s nose literally stuck up his fat ass. So don’t venture there if you don’t have the stomach for it. 
Injoy!
Yes indeed hilarious and not sure if any Kazhakstanis have complained/protested on their portrayal in this film. Character ‘Borat’ is extremely gross but the actor behind the character, Sacha Baron, is certainly an intelligent man with extremely good sense of humour. Also saw the snippets of Borat’s separate interviews by Conan O’Brien and Jay Leno (along with Martha Stewart) and that too is really funny../Bones
