Borat 2 (Jason Woliner, October 23, 2020) Movie • Page 15

They hated the original film, but you have to grab at what you can, especially in an uncertain future for tourism.

 

Borat was never primarily a joke on Kazakhstan. He picked a country that nobody in the West, specially England and the USA, knew anything about so that he could use that ignorance to put people off balance and expose their prejudices about foreigners. It could’ve been any little-known country. It could’ve even been a fictional country, although that would’ve made certain pranks more difficult/impossible. It’s very similar to the rationale in the movie Wag The Dog for picking Albania as the country to stage a fake war against.

 

Jeeze

 

insane

 

They just tried to kidnap a Governor. They probably would have actually killed him, even with cameras.

 

Terrifying

 

I couldn't understand what the guy was saying; I thought his song was aimed for white supremacists, why were they in an uproar?

 

They probably figured out they were being made fun of

 

I think you might be giving them too much credit there. If anything, they probably noticed he had an accent?

 

Cohen actually mentioned on an interview with (I believe) Colbert that at that particular rally, a rival BLM protest came along, one of those protesters immediately recognized Cohen somehow, word started spreading in the crowd that it was him on stage, including to the white folk, and that's when people started rushing the stage to go after him.

 

You're right. It's around 6 minute mark of the Colbert video posted.

 

It's funny how all these alt-right morons singing along to the song had no clue and then the second someone with an actual brain shows up they immediately recognized it was Cohen.

 

This is nice

I absolutely loved this. Yes, it’s more narrative driven than the original with less people showing their ignorance, but I find it to be a great comedy sequel. This is far from a cash grab scenario where the best jokes from the original are bastardized.

 

It’s definitely horrifying to see how normalized bigotry has become in the US, as well as how emboldened the conspiracy theory world has become, in-between the two movies.

 

oh, and in other news...

 

Pleaaaaase

 

Yeah he really doesn’t need to dress up to trick people into showing how racist they are. They all do it willingly now
