Borat

[The Baron]

I found this film hilariously funny in places but more often than not it was the type of cringworthy humour where you know what is coming and you really don't want to see it, but you just cant help but watch - in stitches.

Lungbusting stuff.

Oh and a quick warning for anyone who feels uncomfortable for others. I was sat next to my Jewish flat mate who wasn't laughing at much of the film - those who have seen the film will understand why. I was totally uncomfortable for many parts. He eventually worked out that it was actually a double back onto Americans for their racist views (Cohen has used this against his own religion many times over and works quite well.).

I read Cohen is Jewish.

Yes, he is.

Also, if anyone may know where i could get this film from the internet could they pm me?? (I know its a bit soon, but they dont normally hang about!)

- I hate people who do illegal film downloading...

wasn't picking on your tantrum..no offense intended....I know how women can get upset about the slightest remark...it OK, dear.

R we going a bit sexist here?

Quite simply one of the funniest movies ever made. Womble did his back in laughing so much he pulled a muscle and he is the stereotypical tory boy guardian reader. Anyone who classes this film as racist doesn't have a sense of humour.

Borat did the UK in his Ali G series long before he went to america.
When he spent the day with the toffs on some yearly boating thing, I nearly creased myself laughing.
He created him because everyone in the UK knew Ali G by that point so he couldn't get anyone with him any more.
Then he saw fresh blood in the US and did a series there.

One thing I have always found about people he does is that his character is almost like a reflection for their own characters to be shown.
So decent people, even though getting sent up, can come across as good people. While arseholes are given all the rope they need to hang themselves.
