Jagshemash! I like you!
So after exams yesterday I saw Borat. It's good, although I'm glad I didn't have to pay for it.
Watching the charmingly naive, anti-semetic, sexist, moustachioed beanpole take on citizens of the U.S. and A and ridicule them whilst on a quest to track down and marry Pamela Anderson was entertaining for the most part.
It only takes about 15 minutes for the Borat gimmick to grow old, but that's OK because seeing the reactions of ordinary Americans is, I think, the main point of the movie.
There is a scene where Borat is to perform the Kazhakistani national anthem to the tune of Star Spangled Banner in front of a rodeo crowd. In order to get the crowd into his performance, Borat makes a few tongue in cheek announcements.
"I completely support your war OF terror"
Which is met with thunderous applause.
There are others namely "I hope George Bush drinks the blood of every man, woman and child in Iraq."
Which isn't met with as much applause, but still garners some. Makes you wonder, eh?
Also, there is a scene where Borat goes to buy a gun to protect himself from Jews. He asks the attendant what would be the best gun to buy that would be best for taking down Jews. The guy answers with a straight face that he believes a 9mm or a .45 would be best and hands him a gold-plated Desert Eagle.
Funny.
There are other real performances that make the movie worthwhile.
[ SPOILER WARNING: If you would not like to know about one of the grossest scenes in the movie, I suggest not reading again until you see an END WARNING message ]
One scene I have to warn you about is the sweaty, naked, fat man wrestling scene. If you have a week stomach and are offended by seeing dangly man parts that are most probably very smelly, then I suggest closing your eyes when you see a fat naked man on a bed making hand-love to a Baywatch magazine. It's funny, but it makes the quease well.
[ END WARNING ]
So yeah. It's one of those movies that you possibly could wait until the DVD release. I wouldn't mind seeing all the outtakes, I reckon they would be gold.
One movie I can't wait to see is Casino Royale. I've been waiting for about 6 months now, and it comes out today! I might have to set aside some time on the weekend (I'm not sure when it's gonna happen as I have a wedding, a 30th birthday party Saturday night and then a 60th birthday party with the family *rolls eyes* on the Sunday at 1pm).
Maybe Sunday night.
Who knows. It might have to wait until next week sometime. I'll try to give a review of that too when I see it.
