BORAT from Kazhakstan!


It was a sunny afternoon on a supposed to be cold winter afternoon,i had nothing to do,and surprisingly there was power.So why waste it!!.I decided to watch a movie.But i was spoilt for choice as there were so may to choose from.So at random i decided it wud be Borat.No specific reasons except thet it was a comedy movie and moreover i heard that it is a movie where mixed revies are not at all possible because it was unscripted and there was little or nothing to ponder by way of story and scrrenplay.It was a 84 mins of joy ride,except that the humour had "A" content than any other proper main stream sex comedies.

Borat(Sacha Baron Cohen) works for the Kazak TV and he is sent all the way to USA for cultural exchange."USA for cultural exchange????" sounds rediculous.woof!!!Exchanging culture wid a nation which does not have one on its own,is an important thing to kept in mind,because this is a thing which the movie capitalised to steal the show.His experiences with the Americans in USA,unscripted,is wat the movie is all about.I donot kno if this movie was an attempt to mock the kazhak lifestyle or its American equivalent.Man but it looked more like a mockery of the American life style.

The movie scores points in almost every department that u expected it to score points and leaves some uncured stomach pain marks,incurred due to its humouros nature.Although some parts of the movie were really repulsive,like the naked tussle in the hotel room,it was a different experience which does not disappoint.Cohens poratrayal of Borat makes me wonder if he s really a Kazak.And since many scenes were shot live i donot have anything to comment on the originality of the scenes.

MY FAVOURITE PART:
I personally felt that his experience wid the niggers and the ensuing Hotel reception talk as the best part of the movie.Although there were a lot of scenes similar to this one.They didnt get registered in my mind like the earlier one did.

For the section of the society which felt cheated due to the very low running tym of the movie,i d say that they(the makers) wud have saved some ideas for the future.For them,I d say,do not worry,since it s a hollywood production,u can certainly get many of this BORAT in UK.BORAT in FRANCE kind sequels where in always the immediate sequel will be good,and the remaining one s harldly create and impact.
BRAVO!! BORAT
Cheers,
MISNOMER
