The line about shaving off the mustache to look Italian instead of Muslim hits so hard for me, because people keep mistaking me for being Arabic because of my beard, and I am Italian
So many Muslims, specifically Arab Muslims can easily pass for Italians :) and vice versa, simply because we have a the Mediterranean sea that separates us 😃
Saw this film in a packed cinema and no one walked out. Everyone was crying with laughter. Sacha is a comedien with massive balls to release chickens in a packed New York subway or eviscerate the American national anthem at a rodeo show in Texas. And the film was a massive box office hit and Oscar nominated. The 2nd Borat film is a classic as well.
This is very well written and composed. Seriously amazing job! -I kept trying to creatively use a quote without sounding forced and douchey... i got nothin-
and why should they not? He made the country famous thru the world, as explained had no intention of attack the pride of Kazach folks and instead explained a (sad) ripple in the US culture ...
@jiribosak2946 cheers for Kazakhstan for actually having a sense of humor and being a good sport, unlike the recent trend of western woke wierdos actively seeking for anything to be offended
I am form Kazakhstan and the government absolutely despise this movie, moreover the actor is literally banned here so he will never be able to enter our territory. Maybe you are talking about the private tourism agencies.
Another funny anecdote is that one time when a Kazakhtani female athlete won a tournament at an international sport event (I think it was judo), and during the medals ceremony the organizers played by mistake the fake Kazakhstani anthem from the Borat movie, much to her shock and anger
It was the Arab Shooting Championships in Kuwait in 2012. And the athlete was Maria Dmitrienko, who won the gold medal, so it the mistake was very front and center lol
Maria Dmitrenko after the shock and anger, she take it with a roll in her eyes and a facial expression of "oh those a/&ho1es screw it so bad, LOL" and finally started to laught.
How is that funny? This athlete worked so hard and deserved her moment of pride and glory, instead it was usurped by this crap, forever tainting her achievement because it will always be about that and associated with this stupid incident.
If it's offensive, then it achieved its goal. Life is offensive and it won't get better until it's confronted. Literally the entire reason these things are funny is because they happen so often. You're "offended" because reality makes you uncomfortable. Admitting you have a problem is the first step. In other words, whooooooosh. Continue being part of the problem. You're racist.
Martin Scorsese was such a fan that he interviewed then later worked with Sacha.. So in a way, Borat has that Martin Scorsese stamp of approval. Better than an oscar.
Scorecese is a pretentious hack who does cheap pulp fiction action movies, wannabe Godfather ripoffs, and can never make something as good as Goodfellas again. His only movie that got Oscars BTW, is a mediocre remake of much better Hong Kong's Infernal Affairs.
I watched Borat when I was at the University. I laughed so hard! I thought all the people involved knew that he was just acting. After watching this video, I could feel my anxiety for Borat.. hahahahaha! I will watch the film again!
I’m from Kazakhstan, Almaty’s city and few years ago moved to California. I love that movie, love the character and I believe the Borat film made way more for the worldwide recognition of Kazakhstan than any Kazakh official😀
also from what the video is saying Kazakhstan is also leaning into the Borat bit, which is a good move. It shows strength of (political) Character. "We don't take ourselves too seriously". I hope the movie was unbanned there. It is pretty clear that this is satire, and this movie says a lot more about americans than it says about kazakhs
I’m still surprised that the reactions are real and not paid actors, and that Sacha did not get murdered while filming this. Thank you Sacha for risking your life for this movie, it’s my favorite comedy movie and you made me very happy.
Borat 2 felt like the end of an era. So indeed there might not be another Borat or Borat type character, truly a one of a kind gem for which I am glad to have witnessed in time.
@@MickyAvStickyHands face reality, it happened and its not gonna change the fact that there won't be another Borat type media or sequel that would even top the original, things have simply changed and this goes for a lot of shows and films, like I would want a modern day rendition of Monty Python but even I would know that it just wouldn't land in todays audience and a lot of things would change since expressing certain jokes have now become a landmine that every comedian at some point would have to traverse carefully or risk career suic1de.

"Let's visit a poor village in Romania and turn their entire existence into punchline of a joke for our Western audience to laugh at." truly revolutionary
Nothing exactly innovative about taking the piss out of other people. Also that quote is so reductive, art doesn't have a single purpose, some art is made to comfort the disturbed and the comfortable, some art is made to disturb the comfortable and the disturbed. Sacha Baron Cohen isn't a true artist for putting on a shitty accent and making fun of people, Louis Theroux has done just as much of the beneficial 'exposing' in a much more dignified way.
@@bluuralive418yeah but he is not half as funny as SBC, i was in tears the first time I saw Borat when he was showing pics of him and a kid in which one or both were nude 🍺
"That's how everyone sees you. Isn't that the idea? I tell you, that's the genius of it. No one realizes they're being fooled because they're too busy laughing at the fool." -Finn McMissile (Cars 2)
I absolutely adore how Borat’s daughter actually speaks Bulgarian and she speaks absolute rubbish, compared to the translated subtitle. Another layer to the satire: all foreigners are the same!
@@oligultonn He also speaks in Polish several times throughout the movie, too. Lmfao. I've been studying Polish and recently discovered that and nearly died laughing as I realized how many layers deep this movie actually goes.
Sacha Cohen is a great artist. I recognized him with the Dictator, him criticizing the stereotypes of the American society is really brave. That scene where he talks about his country's features but relating to America's politicians' problems in an undertone was really a masterpiece for me.
This was such a legendary movie, I can imagine the FBI people laughing their assess off while knowing what the fuss is about after receiving so many complaints 😂
I knew a bunch of Qazakh immigrants in the US and they thought Borat was hilarious because it really reflected what americans thought of the country they came from (any country I don't know about must be a crap hole), and of course they were in on that part of the joke.
@@sayuas4293 I did. They moved to the US because they can make way more money doing construction labor. They make enough to live in the US on a lower middle class lifestyle and send money back to their family who get to live a middle middle class lifestyle in kazakhstan. They never dissed the US, or had any unreal glorification of their home country, they just related to how the average american thought their country was some no mans land of unschooled idiots whose houses are made out of old tires and corrugated tin scraps.
Thats so true. Im from Chile and ive heard really outrageous stories about people in US and Canada believing we live in huts and dont have electricity or running water. I had a clasmate who used to live in canada as a kid and told us the other kids asked if we had to used horses to move around and stuff 😂
@@SanchoPanza-m8mit can be spelled either way from cyrillic translation, but the Q is common in terms like "Q-pop" for pop music from the country (taken after the "k-pop" term for korean pop). Its not a woke thing, snowflake.
The way I feel about Borat is simple the first time I watched it, it was for comedy ever time since then I've watched it with as a critic POV while laughing I still get the perception of how real it is. The main takeaway from movies like this is that "casting" real people will always be much riskier but the outcome will always be extremely different and unexpected therefore although the writers and the directors might shine in some parts the true heart of the movie is always going to be the protagonist in this case being Sasha Baran Cohen.
As a romanian yes it is true 😢. They payed every villager a sume of 15 lei per person. In 2008 it was like 1,5 euro, today it would be like 3 euros. So yes, the level mockery was outrageous, that is why the people of Glod village hates Borat.
@adryannthedefender701 reportably some of the villages were paid as much as $100 USD and the film company donated $5000 to the village and gave them computer and general productivity supplies after filming
@@ultimate9056That was in direct reaction to the uproar. The movie company threw a few thousand at the town in response. The vast, vast majority of the towns people received bread crumbs.
Sure@@k-doggy1762, I did too. But I also remember a 98% capacity cinema laughing hysterically. Why are the people who "walked out of a movie" ever worth talking about?
I watched this video last night and so I decided to watch the film afterwards. With so much praise, I wonder if I saw the same movie as y'all. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but the praise for this movie seems to be from Cohen uncovering the prejudice that many people hold (for jews, foreigners, women, etc.). So what I saw was actually a lot of kindness and tolerance by the people unknowingly involved in the movie. The driving instructor dude said consent from women was good and chastised him for drinking and yelling at people. The lady teaching him etiquette was very patient and the other lady even said she liked him a lot and thought he could integrate into American culture. The bed and breakfast couple were absolutely lovely and kind, showing a lot of generosity and curiosity for Borat and Azamat. Dude at the car dealership kind of just seemed like he was doing his job, going along with the weird sht Borat was saying. In fact, I think a lot of the people were just trying to do their jobs. There were only a couple of scenes with people who clearly held some upsetting views, including the older gentleman at the rodeo who suggested Borat shave his mustache, and the drunk college dudes. To paraphrase what Christopher Hitchens said in his review on Slate, the joke was on Cohen. He made himself look like an idiot, not so much the other way around.
Man i saw borat in movie theaters with my dad and everyone was laughing their asses off! Truly was so sore in my abs and face from laughing and smiling so much
My Grandpa actually thought it was hilarious and its not the humor he would usually laugh at. He fought in WWII and said it reminded him of the ridiculous USSR propaganda films that came out after the war.
"ONLY a Jew would have been able to get Borat made" - true, because his kind considers itself human and thinks that others are not human.@@barackobama9343
Sacha Baron Cohen is the equivalent to Beethoven - People only associated Beethoven with Wellington's Victory when he visited Paris as they only associate SBC with Borat.
I'm Romanian and i always wondered why they were talking Romanian in Kazachstan, now i know 🤣🤣🤣 Also, i am from Braşov, which is about 50 to 100 km from Glod!
I don’t think he’s a one trick pony. I think he’s a hypocrite. He’s out now lecturing people on racism and how it’s bad. Like we haven’t seen all he’s done in his career.
@@MJW238you mean a Jewish guy playing a man from the Caucus region who hates Jews is racist? He played Bruno too, I’m guessing you’d call him a homophobe, also. He makes fun of stereotypes. You’re just easily offended.
There is actually a pretty similar German film which is called er ist wieder da (he‘s back) where the main story is about hitler who appears in Modern time. They filmed a lot in public because of the reaction of the people. I don’t know if there’s an englisch version of that film but it’s definitely worth watching
Ali G interviewing Beckham and his stick-woman is one of the true greats of now classic British TV. They were both so cool and played along which made the whole thing just epic.
I think those kind of people are the scariest ever, its like joker saying "you wont understand the joke". I remember eric andre wanting to finish his last season with him shooting himself in the head live and that was it, not because he wanted to kill himself but because he wanted to impact people with his "art" and i think cohen is gonna do something insane like that

@YourLocalPatriot nah, you are just too dumb to know anything about kz, kz is most relevant country in central asia, 9th biggest country in the world with great and long history
I remember watching Borat for the first time with my cousin and i still to this day have yet to laugh so hard at any other movie. Once in a lifetime film, extremely happy to be apart of the history.
People massively underestimate his acting skills. Honestly one of the best actors I've seen so far. pay attention to how he talks in private, very intellectual and charming. you'd think he was a c*a agent in Hollywood. to press political issues. Supposedly there should be something like that.
I've been roleplaying as a character that's based on Borat and It's been some of the most fun and weirdest time in gaming for me. The best part is getting a reaction out of people but at the same time you can tell that there are some really uneducated people out there.
Not really. 2000's had a lot of great movies that shared the limelight. Superbad, Napoleon Dynamite, Dude Where's My Car, just to name a few. You just had to be there to remember I guess
@@mobsiesixsixsix9785 your terrible extrapolation doesn't mean my implication, pothead. I'm sorry you didn't like those films, but they were insanely popular on release, and I know it burns you that you were never popular
I am actually from Kazakhstan. I never saw the film but I think the whole thing about it is kinda funny. But the one thing that kinda sucks is how well... not everyone sees what Kazakstan is actually like after seeing the film. So it sucks a bit knowing that this is the first thing that's associated with the country. There is also a kinda stupid accident that happened once. Kazakhstan's team won a sport's event somewhere, but instead of our actual hymn... borat's version played. the thing is though, Kazakhstan might not be the slum that borat depicts it as, but the spciety is still stuck in traditional ways in many areas it really shouldn't. Though the progress will some,I know.
"Society is still stuck in traditional ways"? How about, "Kazahkstan is a dictatorship that only stayed in power because Putin's Russia sent in its military"? I don't like to be harsh but your comment was like a Nazi German saying, "We made a couple mistakes". Yeah, no shit. Anyways, here's to freedom & democracy everywhere. We have to fight for it. It's not free. But don't use violence because it gives the dictators an excuse to be more brutal. See Prof. Gene Sharp's 'Albert Einstein Institution' on how to overthrow dictatorships with peaceful means.
This anthem thing isn't because of Borat per se but foreigners being confused about post-Soviet countries in general, INCLUDING rUSSIA, which gave up and returned the USSR anthem. when Bayul won Olympics they couldn't find anthem of Ukraine and then much more recently anthem of Belarus was replaced with something else making the medalist stand down from podium.
Not as good as the first one but there's definitely still many laugh out loud moments. Similar to The Dictator, often in Sasha's work, there's a brilliant idea and a dozen or two absolutely epic scenes but it can be hard to fill out 1.5 to 2 hours of movie with what would ideally be a 3 minutes repeating sketch on SNL. I'm never getting tired of watching the helicopter ride from The Dictator though,, it's just so damn good. Even after having watched the scene 20+ times, I still find myself with a huge grin on my face.
Borat was a comedic play on the approach that Louis Theroux used in his 90’s series about America. If you haven’t seen it, it’s well worth watching. As it is, SBC is a comedic genius and this insight into him is very well presented. Good work.
I've never laughed so hard in a cinema before in my life than the time I watched Borat. I went in having absolutely no idea about the character or anything. I was under a rock, it blew my mind. I came out with a gut and head ache from laughter.
I swear to god I was 12 when this film came into the cinemas and me and my friends went 2 times in a row on the same day because we laughed our asses off so hard we missed half of the movie the first time it is the only movie I have seen 2 times in cinema and the only one that was even better 2nd time lmao absolute legend movie ahead of its time

And the real country of Kazakhstan uses Borat's "Very nice!!" In promoting their tourism industry 😂😂😂
and why should they not? He made the country famous thru the world, as explained had no intention of attack the pride of Kazach folks and instead explained a (sad) ripple in the US culture ...
@jiribosak2946 cheers for Kazakhstan for actually having a sense of humor and being a good sport, unlike the recent trend of western woke wierdos actively seeking for anything to be offended
That's awesome lol
I am form Kazakhstan and the government absolutely despise this movie, moreover the actor is literally banned here so he will never be able to enter our territory. Maybe you are talking about the private tourism agencies.
@@purulentplug1309 ya that's what I heard too
The "hotel chase scene" from Borat is to me the absolutely most legendary in cinema's history.
I remember when I watched that scene for the first time with one of my friends and I literally couldn’t breathe from laughing
When I saw it in the theater people were losing their minds during this part
it was repulsive
Another funny anecdote is that one time when a Kazakhtani female athlete won a tournament at an international sport event (I think it was judo), and during the medals ceremony the organizers played by mistake the fake Kazakhstani anthem from the Borat movie, much to her shock and anger
It was the Arab Shooting Championships in Kuwait in 2012. And the athlete was Maria Dmitrienko, who won the gold medal, so it the mistake was very front and center lol
Maria Dmitrenko after the shock and anger, she take it with a roll in her eyes and a facial expression of "oh those a/&ho1es screw it so bad, LOL" and finally started to laught.
How is that funny? This athlete worked so hard and deserved her moment of pride and glory, instead it was usurped by this crap, forever tainting her achievement because it will always be about that and associated with this stupid incident.
That's just offensive. No comment.
If it's offensive, then it achieved its goal.
Life is offensive and it won't get better until it's confronted. Literally the entire reason these things are funny is because they happen so often. You're "offended" because reality makes you uncomfortable. Admitting you have a problem is the first step.
In other words, whooooooosh. Continue being part of the problem. You're racist.
You forgot the one where he portrayed an innocent person as a terrorist and getting him fired from his job. He lost that lawsuit.
"It takes a true genius to play a believable fool" Very nicely put
Not believable at all. Racist.
I'll never forget the first time I watched Borat. My friends and I were in literal tears for the entire movie.
I still haven't laughed that hard ever. It was surreal.
@@J.B.1982 And I thought the whole time how all the random people actors could be so damn authentic ... oh well

I watched Borat when I was at the University. I laughed so hard! I thought all the people involved knew that he was just acting. After watching this video, I could feel my anxiety for Borat.. hahahahaha! I will watch the film again!
I’m from Kazakhstan, Almaty’s city and few years ago moved to California.
I love that movie, love the character and I believe the Borat film made way more for the worldwide recognition of Kazakhstan than any Kazakh official😀

also from what the video is saying Kazakhstan is also leaning into the Borat bit, which is a good move. It shows strength of (political) Character. "We don't take ourselves too seriously".

Nothing exactly innovative about taking the piss out of other people. Also that quote is so reductive, art doesn't have a single purpose, some art is made to comfort the disturbed and the comfortable, some art is made to disturb the comfortable and the disturbed. Sacha Baron Cohen isn't a true artist for putting on a shitty accent and making fun of people, Louis Theroux has done just as much of the beneficial 'exposing' in a much more dignified way.

Sacha Cohen is a great artist. I recognized him with the Dictator, him criticizing the stereotypes of the American society is really brave. That scene where he talks about his country's features but relating to America's politicians' problems in an undertone was really a masterpiece for me.
Nothing made me laugh more than Borat, Sacha Baron Cohen is a one of a kind, a true genius.

I watched Borat with my very reserved grandpa, I told him he might not like it, but i was wrong, we had such a good time.
I knew a bunch of Qazakh immigrants in the US and they thought Borat was hilarious because it really reflected what americans thought of the country they came from (any country I don't know about must be a crap hole), and of course they were in on that part of the joke.
Ask them why they moved to the US
@@sayuas4293 I did. They moved to the US because they can make way more money doing construction labor. They make enough to live in the US on a lower middle class lifestyle and send money back to their family who get to live a middle middle class lifestyle in kazakhstan. They never dissed the US, or had any unreal glorification of their home country, they just related to how the average american thought their country was some no mans land of unschooled idiots whose houses are made out of old tires and corrugated tin scraps.
Thats so true. Im from Chile and ive heard really outrageous stories about people in US and Canada believing we live in huts and dont have electricity or running water. I had a clasmate who used to live in canada as a kid and told us the other kids asked if we had to used horses to move around and stuff 😂

6:06 - "they were unhappy that they were depicted as barbaric people"
"And some were so angry that they wanted to kill Borat"
Ironic.
After they're going to swarm to him like flies and there will not even be a skeleton left 😆
Same as African Americans
The way I feel about Borat is simple the first time I watched it, it was for comedy ever time since then I've watched it with as a critic POV while laughing I still get the perception of how real it is. The main takeaway from movies like this is that "casting" real people will always be much riskier but the outcome will always be extremely different and unexpected therefore although the writers and the directors might shine in some parts the true heart of the movie is always going to be the protagonist in this case being Sasha Baran Cohen.
The part with the villagers made me feel like I was watching a deleted scene. He even pranked the extras
As a romanian yes it is true 😢. They payed every villager a sume of 15 lei per person. In 2008 it was like 1,5 euro, today it would be like 3 euros. So yes, the level mockery was outrageous, that is why the people of Glod village hates Borat.

But they're wrong.
I was traveling and watched Borat at a theatre located in Salem VA which is where the Rodeo scenes were filmed...everybody laughed their asses off.
I went to watch it with a group of my college buddies and it'll stick with me forever. Never laughed so much in my life.
I watched this video last night and so I decided to watch the film afterwards. With so much praise, I wonder if I saw the same movie as y'all. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but the praise for this movie seems to be from Cohen uncovering the prejudice that many people hold (for jews, foreigners, women, etc.). So what I saw was actually a lot of kindness and tolerance by the people unknowingly involved in the movie. The driving instructor dude said consent from women was good and chastised him for drinking and yelling at people. The lady teaching him etiquette was very patient and the other lady even said she liked him a lot and thought he could integrate into American culture. The bed and breakfast couple were absolutely lovely and kind, showing a lot of generosity and curiosity for Borat and Azamat. Dude at the car dealership kind of just seemed like he was doing his job, going along with the weird sht Borat was saying. In fact, I think a lot of the people were just trying to do their jobs. There were only a couple of scenes with people who clearly held some upsetting views, including the older gentleman at the rodeo who suggested Borat shave his mustache, and the drunk college dudes. To paraphrase what Christopher Hitchens said in his review on Slate, the joke was on Cohen. He made himself look like an idiot, not so much the other way around.
Man i saw borat in movie theaters with my dad and everyone was laughing their asses off! Truly was so sore in my abs and face from laughing and smiling so much

I am actually from Kazakhstan. I never saw the film but I think the whole thing about it is kinda funny.
But the one thing that kinda sucks is how well... not everyone sees what Kazakstan is actually like after seeing the film. So it sucks a bit knowing that this is the first thing that's associated with the country.
There is also a kinda stupid accident that happened once. Kazakhstan's team won a sport's event somewhere, but instead of our actual hymn... borat's version played.
the thing is though, Kazakhstan might not be the slum that borat depicts it as, but the spciety is still stuck in traditional ways in many areas it really shouldn't. Though the progress will some,I know.
"Society is still stuck in traditional ways"? How about, "Kazahkstan is a dictatorship that only stayed in power because Putin's Russia sent in its military"? I don't like to be harsh but your comment was like a Nazi German saying, "We made a couple mistakes". Yeah, no shit. Anyways, here's to freedom & democracy everywhere. We have to fight for it. It's not free. But don't use violence because it gives the dictators an excuse to be more brutal. See Prof. Gene Sharp's 'Albert Einstein Institution' on how to overthrow dictatorships with peaceful means.
Great success! On a serious note: friends have visited Kazakhstan and they were impressed!
This anthem thing isn't because of Borat per se but foreigners being confused about post-Soviet countries in general, INCLUDING rUSSIA, which gave up and returned the USSR anthem. when Bayul won Olympics they couldn't find anthem of Ukraine and then much more recently anthem of Belarus was replaced with something else making the medalist stand down from podium.

Not as good as the first one but there's definitely still many laugh out loud moments. Similar to The Dictator, often in Sasha's work, there's a brilliant idea and a dozen or two absolutely epic scenes but it can be hard to fill out 1.5 to 2 hours of movie with what would ideally be a 3 minutes repeating sketch on SNL. I'm never getting tired of watching the helicopter ride from The Dictator though,, it's just so damn good. Even after having watched the scene 20+ times, I still find myself with a huge grin on my face.

Borat was a comedic play on the approach that Louis Theroux used in his 90’s series about America. If you haven’t seen it, it’s well worth watching.
