alfonsomartinperez Simplemente una comedia de las mejores películas de comedia
muvi-fan-73 The movie however it has come out made me think it's real. I mean not all but Borat as channel representative, his producer, the incident of national anthem and last but not the least Pamela Anderson incident. It took me to google out for real anthem and profile of real actors along with frequently asked questions on imdb followed by number of votes to find out that this 1hr20min treat is 100% work of fiction. Yes I would have fallen for a culture with such values, even if it put me on my toes. Thankfully it is total fiction and impeccable treat of humor.Tone, Script & Story: The story how two people from a channel in Kazakhstan interview Americans for their uplift of their society.Direction, Screenplay, Cinematography: I fell for this work of fiction as described earlier. It is that good. Acting: Borat nails it. Other actors are incredibly well too.Final Verdict: It is an Incredibly Humorous treat challenging some of society's norms, but no worries thankfully as its fiction!
patomartinezfgo I really was not expecting to laugh as much as I did in this movie. This movie had me laughing my a*s off through out the whole film.In this movie you can really see Sacha Baron Cohem's comedic talent. He is sooo funny in the movie. You also should take into account how this movie was mostly improv and he was making a lot of the jokes in the spot.The story is hilarious and it is even funnier to see how the people react to the character of Borat and how Sacha can make them reveal their true colors.A lot of people don't praise the themes of this movie. This movie really shows how f*cked up America is. You can see it by the way in which people tell things to Borat and didn't know they were on a movie, you see their real thoughts and opinions about the world.One Warning, if you are easily offended don't watch it. This movie is full of racist and sexist jokes and if you won't tolerate it then don't watch it.
EBJ ​Plot Overview: In order to get a grasp of American life, Kazakhstan sends over kazakstinian reporter Borat(Sacha Baron Cohen) to America but things soon begin to spiral out of control when Borat takes a fancy to Pamela AndersonDirected by Larry CharlesStarring Sacha Baron Cohen and Ken Davitan# NO SPOILERS!Overall: I honestly don't understand the appeal for this movie. People say its good because he's interacting with real people and filming genuine reactions. Cool concept but it makes it hard to enjoy when it SEEMS that its all setup. I'm not saying it is but during my experience of the movie I just constantly felt like it was set up and running off a complete script with little to no improv. That being said, even If I convince myself that it was completely genuine, I just don't find anything here that funny. Some scenes were enjoyable and good satire but the majority of it was stupid and just bland for me. The acting was fine and I imagine some people would like it but I can definitely see that it's not for me.The types of people who will like this movie will be fans of the improvisation style of comedy and those who can buy Sacha's character.Wouldn't Recommend.# POSSIBLE SPOILERS!Sacha Baron Cohen was good as Borat and I can definitely believe his character but maybe not his actions. Kevin Davitan was alright as Azamat.The premise was solid but the execution was pretty flawed for me. The story was really weak and didn't make sense.The cinematography was pretty weak and it was hard to see what was going on.Borat's costumes were alright and I can see the stereotypical odd foreign person concept they were going for which was clever.I rarely laughed in this movie and, while I can assume they were genuine, the 'pranking the unsuspecting public' idea didn't feel genuine.Personally, I really didn't enjoy this movie and was thoroughly bored throughout.4/10
