Washington DC Screening Review

Rating: 10/10 (21 September 2006)

Short and sweet.
GO SEE THIS FILM. YOU WILL BE LAUGHING THE ENTIRE TIME. YOU WILL BE DISGUSTED. YOU WILL CRY. YOU WILL BE SHAMED. YOU WILL LOVE IT. Mr. Cohen has created in BORAT one of the most memorable film icons of all time.
November 3rd everywhere, or find another screening. Don't miss this film. It is one of the funniest experiences I have ever had in my whole life. Comic brilliance.
A warning though: this film contains real footage of actual Americans saying some terribly bigoted and racist things about many different types of people. You will feel sorry for these people. The interviews are candid, the camera is never hidden. They know what they were saying. Yet you cannot help but feel sorry for these fools anyway. And as for the Anti-Semetic nature of many situations in BORAT, please remember one thing. Sacha Baron Cohen is Jewish himself. It is all a big joke designed to reveal the true nature some people foster under their skin. Borat's comments about Jews are merely to instigate these reactions. Very clever indeed.
A wonderful film that is beautifully shot and masterly edited. DO NOT MISS IT. The entire crowd was speechless after the movie ended. Brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
