én személy szerint nem kommentálnám a dolgot, hanem bemásolok imdb forumrol egy commentet(csak azér nem adok lniekt mivel oda még regisztráció is kell ám)
ha már midnenki ilyen mûvelt és okos, feltételezem hogy rendelkezi kegy alapszintû angolnyelvtudással, és megérti az alábi szöveget:
"I can't believe how dull some of you are.
The movie is in no way anti-semetic or anti-kazakhstanic(heh). As noted by others, Cohen IS JEWISH. The genius behind his humour is how he exposes other people's anti-semitisms, racisms, homophobias, & ignorance towards other cultures/countries (ie Kazakhstan!) with his characters.
Half of the comedy is the reactions he gets from the people. You laugh because (for example) the people being pranked by Cohen actually believe he's so ass-backwards that he doesn't know what a toilet is and they are in awe because he shat in a bag and brought it to the dinner table to ask where to put it. (Hilarious, btw!)
But, If you're laughing because "haha, Kazakhstani people are SO DUMB, they all sh*t in bags cause they're so primitive" or think that's the reaction Cohen is trying to achieve, then you should stick to watching Pauly Shore movies, cause you're probably suffering from some form of mental retardation.
With that being said, yes, there are poking-funs at Kazakhstan, but they are nothing more than that, especially when some of Borat's characteristics are based on truth. (IE Borat trying to marry Pamela the "Kazakhstan" way.) Bride-nappings still do occur in countries in that region, AND are hardly enforced by the governments or the country's law. Eitherway, if we can't laugh at eachother and ourselves, then this world would be a very boring place.
And OBVIOUSLY, that doesn't mean ALL Kazakhstanis live in small villages and kidnap their wives, rape women, disco dance, and play table tennis. If anyone takes Borat as a literal representation of people from Kazakhstan, then they're a big effen retard.
I'm half greek and didn't throw a hissy fit about My Big Fat Greek Wedding. No one did. It was funny for many people 'cause they could relate to it, eventhough it made Greek people seem dumb and primitive, as well. Does every greek use Windex as a universal cure for everything??
Honestly, if you want to critique and criticize this movie, find out what it's actually about first. If you're too dull to grasp the simple underlying concept of it all, then stop you're whining and just don't watch his films.
heh.
p.s. my apologies to the down folk for my derogatory use of the word "retard" "
