The Cultural Journey of Borat, the King of Comedy in Central Asia

I watched "Borat" on the recommendation of a friend, and I almost laughed out of my eyes. If "Crazy Stone" is worth watching 3 times, then Borat is worth watching 10 times.

Borat is a TV reporter in a small town called Kusek in Kazakhstan. With the support of a confused official of the Ministry of Information Industry of Kazakhstan, he conducted an American cultural investigation that was full of shit and urine. What needs to be explained is that most of Kazakh Russians are from Kazakhstan, but to me, the lascivious dancing posture and fierce body hair and complexion of this Borat guy are all too familiar. The unrestrained and stoic, poor but optimistic Kazakh herdsmen drink water from the same river, the only big river flowing westward in China - the Ili River. At the end of the Ili River, the shore of Lake Balkhash is said to be the hometown of Li Bai.


In Borat, you can find the shadow of Stephen Chow, Jim Carrey and other big names in Chinese and Western comedy, but Borat is the unique king of Central Asian comedy. Like a black bear that jumped out of a cage, he made many detours in the Asian hinterland and went straight to the United States. With his hometown's specialties of human hair and a loyal hen, Borat drove a $700 ice cream classic car along the state. The Interstate raped and ripped apart the heartland of American culture. From New York to Dallas to California, Dozens of US and A cultural symbols have been smashed by Borat like antique store china, including but not limited to: feminism, fanatical Catholicism, anti-Semitism, homosexuality, ghetto, The Iraq War, black people, sex and democracy, and more... until the climax of the plot, when Portella, the luminary of Central Asian nomads, makes an overzealous statement of support for the Iraq War in Dallas, the home of cowboys in the United States, when Kennedy is assassinated. city, a holy white horse fell to the ground in Portela's cover of the American national anthem.


The biggest irony is that, as the victor of the Cold War, in the eyes of the Americans, Kazakhstan is full of slums built with old industrial products in addition to satellites. Under the package of proud civilization and democracy, but without the slightest influence, what drives the cultural terrorist Botella to kill from the east coast to the west coast is a fuel tank full of Li Pido, and a book of baywatch girls with fine spots on the cover. Magazine.

(Although Sacha Baron Cohen, who plays Borat, is not really Kazakh, but based on my 18 years of experience living in Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture, his performance is so expressive and impressive.)

    Typical British humor, satirizes everything, spoofs everything, and obsessive about the world.

    Good-looking is good-looking, many places are half-dead, but it’s too shit and piss, and it is easy to cause discomfort... (that national anthem is on) But when we think about it carefully, we are actually in this crazy world
