Borat -- a bit disappointed
by billchoice1 on 11/08/06
If you know me then you know that I love two things -- poker and Borat. I play poker every chance I get and I just LOVE Borat. The guy makes me laugh it sometimes hurts. A good hurt. I was so jazzed to see the Borat movie and finally got a chance last night. What a disappointment. I actually fell asleep about 2/3rds of the way through.
What I love about Borat is that he interviews real people and they think they are really talking to this strange dude. He gets them to say some very politically incorrect things and it's usually very funny. While he does do some of this in the movie, the majority of the movie is filled with staged scenes. I guess the filmmakers felt that they needed some kind of structure to keep it moving, but it just didn't work for me. I want real people, not actors. What's worse, there were scenes where they make it seem that things are real, but I was pretty sure they were staged. Anyway, I'll just need to stick to the youtube clips of his best moments. One of my favorites is linked below. Enjoy -- and if you cheat on me I will CRUSH YOU!
