Remember Porat from Kazakhstan? Porat, who was Jerk off in the street, shit at Trump's door, and the hotel was running wild, came back after 14 years.
Fourteen years ago, Porat, who went to the United States to study American culture in order to build the great motherland of Kazakhstan, gave everyone a journey full of shit and ass. On the way, the American culture of feminism, race, homosexuality, terrorism, politics, religion, etc. was hacked all over. Look for pain points, smile and poke, poke your eyes full of anger and tears at the same time.
Fourteen years later, Porat went to the United States again. Since the visit to the United States 14 years ago, Kazakhstan has become the laughing stock of the world, and Porat, the culprit, has been sentenced to work in the Gulag for life.
One day 14 years later, Porat was called to the presidential palace. It turns out that in order to have a good relationship between Kazakhstan and the United States, Porat was entrusted with the important task of gifting Johnny Monkey to the Vice President of the United States.
Because the first film is too popular in the United States, Porat has become an American Internet celebrity. There are many passers-by who will recognize and ask for signatures when walking on the street, and even more so.
Being famous is certainly not a bad thing, but it has a great influence on Porat's production. Obviously, he can't pretend that Kazakhs play Americans at will.
Porat can only pretend to be inconvenient to show up and add a heroine-his daughter Tuta.
The newly added female character Tuta is an uncivilized and ignorant female representative. She believes that women are slaves to men. Women cannot drive or touch their private parts, otherwise they will be condemned by God. The appearance of Tuta made Porat 2 completely embarked on the path of feminism.
Misogyny (the misogyny part is more obscure, those who are not interested can slide down to the magical reality part)
If the first part of feminism is only one of the points of ridicule, then the second part of the spoof of feminism is so serious that it makes me uncomfortable.
Speaking of feminism, we have to mention misogyny. If you scream for feminism but don’t understand what misogyny is, then you’re just playing around with the crowd.
Misogyny: Distorts and degrades the image of women, and dislikes feminization, femininity, and things related to women. In fact, both men and women have misogyny, but the manifestations are different. It shows female contempt in men, and self-loathing in women.
The reason why the irony of women's rights in "Borat 2" made me feel very uncomfortable is related to my recent reading of "Missing Women" by Chizuko Ueno. I had a glimmer of hope for feminism before reading "Most Girl". I felt that the status of women was indeed improving steadily. After reading "Most Girl", I even felt that women are actually inferior to dogs.
In the film, Tuta listened to Porat’s words to get a plastic surgery. Janice asked her why she had a plastic surgery. Tuta replied: So that I can be given as a gift to an American man (the Vice President of the United States). In other words, the ultimate goal of Tuta's plastic surgery is to please men.
This is the sadness of reality. Women do not have plastic surgery for themselves. They have plastic surgery to please others, and most of the objects of pleasing are men. I'm afraid not many women go for plastic surgery just to compare their appearance with another woman. Women have plastic surgery in order to make themselves more beautiful, and to be recognized and favored by men after being beautiful.
This is the reality of feminist disguise, patriarchy. Although it seems that the status of women has improved a lot, the low status of women has long become a kind of inertial cognition. Men occupies the dominant position, and through the small details of life, the status of women is invisibly suppressed to an incomparably humble level, and these small details are the bits and pieces of life.
For example, there are leftover women, this insulting vocabulary of women, but there are inexplicable remarks such as "the older the man is, the more popular it is."
Men will degrade another man's masculine status by insulting another man who is not a man. For example: are you a man? How to be like a girl? Or the wife's strict control, in fact, it means that this man is incompetent, and even the women in the family can't surrender. Therefore, men tend not to like overly strong women, because roles like strong women may affect men’s social status.
The core of these remarks is to put women at a very low level and regard women as a species that can be surrendered. If you can surrender, then you are a man. If you can’t surrender, then you belong to the group of "women"
This view extends to the homosexual group. Because men often manifest their male status by conquering women, and when a man does not like women, he is excluded from the "male" system. When it comes to homosexuality, most people subconsciously react to being gay, and when a man cannot obtain a pass to become a male group by conquering women, this is naturally unpopular in today's patriarchal society.
In "Borat 1", Borat kisses the face etiquette with all men. As a result, on one occasion, Porat strayed into a same-sex group demonstration. Unknowing Porat still had enthusiasm with them and carried out activities that are not suitable for children. Afterwards, I learned that they were homosexuals, and they were dumbfounded for an instant. He couldn't accept that this was not a "man" experience.
Therefore, it is not so much that everyone cannot accept the homosexual group, as it is that this patriarchal world cannot accept this phenomenon that may shake the foundation of patriarchy.
The above is male misogyny, manifested as contempt for women in order to achieve the purpose of enhancing the status of men.
Female misogyny is self-loathing. For example, eating soft food, outsiders will say: Why did this woman find such an incompetent man? On the contrary, if a female husband is very capable, everyone will look enviously and praise it.
A woman who is very strong will be praised as a man, very man. They all belittle themselves while praising male power for radiance.
In "Borat 2", Tuta accidentally participated in a women's club meeting, which is regarded as a feminist organization. During the meeting, Tuta suddenly realized that his private parts were not as scary as he thought, so he invited them to liberate their bodies in front of the club members. As a result, the scene was very embarrassing.
In the film, Porat took Tuta to the Makong Celebrity Ball, where he performed a traditional fertility dance with spicy eyes. After Tuta, who had come to the moon, his lower body was blood-red after dancing, and both men and women were shocked and disgusted.
Women themselves hate their bodies and feel that it is a shame to liberate their bodies. How can we talk about feminism?
In addition to these, in society there are similarly "raising children to guard against old age" and "water thrown out by married daughters". The seemingly ancient teachings actually devalue women's status through all aspects of life. If you really want to realize women's rights, you can only overthrow the existing social system.
While satirizing women's rights, racial discrimination is indispensable. Porat took Tuta to meet Janice, the black nanny, and chained her daughter as a pet. Together with Janice, she read the "Daughter Owner's Handbook" officially published by the Ministry of Agriculture and Wildlife. In fact, it is alluding to the tragic slavery history of blacks.
The official reading "The Daughter Owner's Manual" is even more ironic about the so-called women. Behind the racial discrimination is a group of high-level male leaders controlling people's misogyny.
"Borat 2" itself is a satirical comedy movie. The main reason for saying so much serious content is that the famous Borat was limited to a lot of room to play, obviously not as flying as the first one. After talking about serious feminism, let's talk about some fun things.
Magic reality
Before watching "Borat" you must understand these points: 1. Most people in the film do not know that they are participating in the production of "Borat". Many characters are the real faces of people, and the plot is mostly live. Really manifest.
2. During the production of the film "Borat", 91 alarms were raised. After the release, many complaints were received.
3. The reality of Kazakhstan expressed anger after watching "Porat", and then welcomed foreigners to travel to see the real Kazakhstan.
On July 6, 2020, Rudy called the police that an alien had broken in during the interview. The man wore a pink bikini with lace and bare legs broke into the scene. The former mayor of New York City and now Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani interviewed the scene.
At the speech of US Vice President Pence, a man wore a Trump headgear and a woman on his shoulders shouted to Pence. The onlookers shouted at "Trump": 4 more years! 4 more years!
At a right-wing rally, a red neck led everyone to sing "The Song of the New Crown." The lyrics strongly criticized the former Democratic President Obama, scientists, doctors and other "new crown makers", saying that the new crown is a huge conspiracy.
The above three seemingly magical scenes actually took place in reality, and they were all products of Porat Yirong's participation. In other words, the people present at the time also unknowingly participated in the production of "Borat 2".
What is even more magical and realistic is that these three incidents are not only real, but Porat’s participation has magnified the story behind them infinitely.
The process of Tuta's interview with Rudy was extremely "fishing law enforcement", with ambiguous content and actions. Anyone who knows Rudy knows that he has frequent extramarital affairs news. Among them, Kotic Hospital CEO Maria Ryan and pharmaceutical company sales representative Judy Nansen are the most famous.
The idea of giving Tuta to Rudy is a mockery of Rudy's life style. Bring this point of view to watch Rudy's interview in the bedroom tidying up the clothes. Whether we are tidying up clothes or jerk off is very interesting.
The "Song of the New Crown" sung by Porat at the right-wing rally, the content of the lyrics shocked people's attention and pointed out that the new crown originated from WH. Right.) The entire attack on Obama fully expresses that the Republican Party has successfully transferred its hatred to the Democratic Party. Earlier, Porat asked the two red-necked viruses or the Democrats, and they quickly said together: Democrats are even more terrible.
The most magical thing is that their perception of Democrats is like Porat's perception of Jews: a devil who can suck human blood.
In addition, the plot and lines in the film are full of satires on the real world.
The first page of the "Daughter Owner's Handbook" stated that women should live in cages, so Porat took Tuta to choose a suitable cage. During the selection process, Porat mentioned that Trump trapped Mexican children in cages.
This is incredible and magical, but it is ironic: a measure taken by the United States against illegal immigrants from Mexico. The general content of this policy is that after illegal immigrants are arrested at the US-Mexico border, adults will be arrested awaiting trial, and children will be forcibly separated from their parents. This policy is called "separation of flesh and blood."
Of course, under pressure, Trump has halted this policy.
These satirical passages abound in the film, countless. Obviously, Porat was no longer satisfied with mere feces after experiencing the culture shock 14 years ago, but took a longer view to explore deeper points.
Of course, Porat is not necessarily sarcastic, maybe a person is a standard Republican, and he has photographed his true thoughts. It just made the audience mistakenly think that he was using these seemingly absurd images to make irony. Maybe he really hopes Trump 4 more years. NOT～
