Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan

Friday, February 27, 2009


Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan is a parody-documentary movie released in 2006, starring Sacha Baron Cohen. It tells a story about Borat Sagdiyev, a Kazakhi journalist who goes to the "US and A" to learn about its cultures for the benefit of the "Glorious Kazakhstan". Filmed in documentary style, it tells about Borat's journey through New York to San Fransisco, interviewing many Americans (who believes he's a foreigner without any understanding to western culture), and set out to have Pamela Anderson as his wife after watching an episode of "Baywatch".






A very funny movie, it stabs through stereotypes and satires on many things. Most memorable scene is when Borat rhetorical oration in a rodeo show excites the crowd (like the US and A's "War of Terror"), but soon almost turned into a riot when he sings "the Star Spangled Banner" using his own "Glorious Country of Kazakhstan" lyrics.

Pretty much recommended to watch.
