i get where u would get the idea about Americans being ignorant of other cultures but im pretty sure that the people making the movie honestly didnt give a flying crap about how accurate it was

lol the point is that he feels really strongly about homophobia and racism! He’s trying to make a point of it

the movie, if i know much at all about that sascha chap, was for two reasons. for the lols, and to use irony in highlighting how ignorant of other cultures americans are (how many yanks know anything about the format of government in thailand? it’s a monarchy, but alot of people would just call it a family owned dictatorship.)

sooo, i bet you want him to make a movie about himself?

By: Matt

the whole point is that hes making fun of the typical americans’ ignorance, so i think this lol is inaccurate since the joke is on those americans, not kazakhstan

You do realise that Sasha Baren Cohen in Jewish… he is just being funny.

well, the borat movie and many of the borat clips makes fun of Jews, have you seen them?

By: per

per — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 21:30:05 +0000

yeah, my point is that he makes just as much fun of americans as of kazakhstanians. I have seen the movie and all the borat-clips from the ali G show and I think he is great! I guess my main point was that it is a stupid caption.

Look, guy.

1) No One should take Sacha Baron seriuosly. I doubt he even knows that serious exists.

2) The caption was most definately aimed at Kazakhstan culture. The very diligent poster was showing obvious distate at the way Sacha treated
Kazakhstan.

3) In every country, parts of the culture are WAAY better than parts of another culture of ANY country. That’s life. That’s what makes us all great.

WOO

I don’t know about “kazachstan” but I lived in Kazakhstan for 23 years. Believe me, in parts, Kazakh culture is way better than the on in the US. Cohen has never even been there, and judging by your comment, neither were you.

Well, of course! if it is was about Jews or Blacks, then it would have been considered racist. But if it is about nation no one knows and cares about, it is funny. Can’t argue there!

P.S. The rocket, which brought first human being into space was launched from launching site in central Kazakhstan.

Anyone who hates Borat probably fell for it early on. Funny thing, a while back Ali G didn’t go over all that well, then people heard that it’s really a regular guy under all that and went ‘ohhhh… wow, he’s really good at it y’know’. How do you top frenching Will Ferrel?

I watched the entire movie from behind my hands. I was grossed out, astonished, and laughed out loud more than once and sometimes against my will. I am still surprised he made it out of that rodeo alive.

Sacha is making a new movie like Borat. I believe he is playing a gay guy named Bruno from europe or something like that. He was in my town awhile ago doing a scene for the movie. He mad so many people mad.

Keep in mind, this character was developed in the UK and used there. I don’t know that he’s targeting Americans with the character, or western culture as a whole.

You should take him serious… He is akshully showing the flaws of all of us. The caption clearly mentions to point at american culture (if it has any) and not the kazachstan culture (which is in reality for parts even worse than depicted in Borats movie)

By: ydobon

ydobon — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 18:49:51 +0000

I’d rather say he makes fun about Americans, their way to accept prejudices and the wrong way political correctness is leading when they ignore his racist statements.

By: purpletabby

purpletabby — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 17:49:35 +0000

Yeah, I thought the caption was a reference to the US at first. The film showed how ignorant Americans can be about other cultures and how quick some of us can be to accept bizarre behavior as “charming” just because it comes from a different culture. It also pointed out how attached we are to some of our own bizarreness.

By: Selkhit

Selkhit — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 17:17:48 +0000

Say what you will, but Borat was really funny. Anyone who takes Sacha Baron Cohen seriously is just…well, an idiot.

That movie was hysterical. Him as Ali G is pretty funny too. This guy is brilliant.

Borat makes fun of Kazakhstan, and is also making fun of the stereotypes that are sometimes used when referring to Kazakhstan.

By: Wormulon

Shouldn’t that read “Undermining TWO Whole Nations Cultures”

considering America came off pretty bad in that whole film
