Borat (5 Stars)

There are very few films that can make me laugh out loud when I watch them. Especially not the third or fourth time. I forget how often I've watched this film. It's sheer brilliance. It's probably the funniest film I've ever seen. I like it even more than the other two films in the Ali G trilogy, "Ali G in da House" and "Bruno".

The original concept of Ali G was a character created in 1998 by the British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen. Ali G appeared as a stereotypical undereducated British Jamaican. He interviewed leading personalities from the world of business, politics and religion, shocking them by making politically incorrect statements. He also preyed on them, tricking them into agreeing with his views. This concept only worked for a few years, for as long as Ali G was unknown. In 2003 he made a new television series in America, where he was still unknown and could fool people once more.

Due to Ali G becoming well known, Cohen created two new characters. One was Borat, an anti-semitic news reporter from Kazakhstan. The other was Bruno, a gay Austrian fashion expert. They both first appeared in the "Ali G Show" before carrying on to star in their own films.

The film "Borat" shows the character travelling to America to find out about American culture and how it can help the people of Kazakhstan. The full name of the film is actually "Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan". It follows the pattern of a simpleton mocking those he meets.

The film was a big success in America and the rest of the world, but it also had a lot of problems. Most of the people who appear in the film weren't informed that they were being filmed, and they were shocked to see themselves being made fools of on the big screen. The government of Kazakhstan also made an official complaint, stating that its country is not fairly represented.

The official film trailer doesn't do it justice, but watch it anyway. This is a film that everyone should watch.
