The sequel, after many years, still has a gap compared to the previous one. The first one left a lot of room for debate and discussion between satire and sarcastic satire, and was also ahead of its time in the topics of discussion.
And this film has been completely reduced to a political show. There are short comments that it is satirizing the United States. In fact, it is completely aimed at the Republican Party under Trump. From beginning to end, all the jokes and satire, including the reality involved. The characters are all completely Republican. Going online in time for the election, the meaning is also very clear.
In addition to politics, the emotional line of the Borat father and daughter has also added the recent popular feminist content to the theme, but it feels a bit stiff, satirical for the sake of satire, no matter how absurd, no matter how much shit the scene is, it is nothing more than a scene. How politically correct it is. Of course, it's not that political correctness goes too far, but that everything is too purposeful, and the opposite is too clear.
The more absurd the film, the more ideologically correct. And you can see it at a glance.
In other words, it doesn't bring any surprises, because you already know what it's going to say and express. So in such a pseudo-documentary form, this is a bit of a joke, and sometimes it may only bring embarrassment. Rudy's interview may be a wonderful bridge, but the excitement itself benefits from this format. If you think about the famous scene at the entrance of the first hotel, which was also paid tribute in this movie, you can still see the difference.
Of course, there are a lot of laughs and famous scenes; the part wearing Trump's headgear is really funny, and the singing at the final rally is also very interesting, the actors are still very important, Sasha is really too strong to play this kind of role , he may be integrated with Borat, this series can't do without him hahaha. Compared with this kind of pseudo-record, I may personally prefer the kind of "Dictator" with stronger storytelling and production. Hahaha.
In general, after laughing, you might as well think about it, if the slogan and sense of form of a movie are greater than the movie story itself, is it still a movie?
