The technique is in the form of a pseudo-documentary, but I believe no one will really treat this as a documentary.
Kazakhstan is no stranger to knowledgeable Chinese, but for Americans, it is likely to be confused with Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, Burkina Faso, Trinidad and Tobago... the difference.
The movie uses a super spoof to irony... Maybe this can really be regarded as a sociological experiment. Challenge the bottom line of social rules time and time again. Some succeeded, some failed. People who were completely at a loss were shocked to see Porat's behavior... I felt a little unacceptable. But the director seems to like to use this method to test the reaction of the society. Just like that famous documentary about religion. Up to now, I haven't figured out clearly what kind of attitude I should maintain towards the "testing" method used in this film.
What I can accept is this irony, and what I can't accept is this method of "testing". Moreover, in order to unify the style, there are actually a lot of jokes with heavy flavors mixed in it. Including a naked battle with the producer.
It is worth learning and borrowing!
