“My daughter is here,” Borat reports back to Kazakhstan. Thus, begin the journey that will see Borat and Sandra meet with a real-life cast of characters that offers cringe worthy insight into Western culture. “You want them to like you so you can get money from them.” There’s an Instagram influencer who teaches Sandra to be submissive to increase her appeal to men. Then two MAGA men take Borat to a rally where he performs a country song-“Journalists! Who wants to inject them with the Wuhan flu? / Chop them up like the Saudis do.”-that elicits cheers and straight-armed salutes from the crowd. And then there’s a debutant ball “fertility dance” that redefines the term OMG. Those scenes are as nervy and squirmy as humour gets but the sequence everyone will be talking about sees a sit-down interview with Donald Trump’s handsy personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani. It begins with Rudy asking, “Did you ever eat a bat?” and goes downhill from there. It is the most outrageous of the film’s several must-be-seen-to-be-believed moments. It’s not often you can describe a comedy as nerve wracking but “Borat Subsequent MovieFilm” is that film.īaron Cohen’s audacious work is often hilarious, but it is the danger that comes along with his stunts that pushes the material from funny to fearless. His work is “Candid Camera” with a sharp edge a cutting satire that mixes real-life undercover reporting with aggressive and often tasteless humour.
It is both a high-brow exposé of the dark underbelly of this American election year and a low-brow comedy that will do anything to make you laugh. Just like the year it is being released, “Borat Subsequent MovieFilm” is a chaotic, uncomfortable experience.
It will make you laugh, but is geared to also make you think.Ĭue another round of bad Borat impressions. Glen Keane brings 43 years of Disney character animation experience to a new film now streaming on Netflix. From “The Little Mermaid’s” Ariel, “Beauty and the Beast’s main character-the Beast, not the Beauty-to the eponymous folks in “Aladdin,” “Pocahontas” and “Tarzan,” he’s the Disney Legend who created some of the most indelible characters of several eras.
