Cultural Differences

Rating: 10/10 (11 June 2007)

The scene with Pamela Anderson (as herself) was hilarious. The scene looked improvised. Whether Ms. Anderson knew what was going to happen or not, the scene was hilarious. On the other hand, it is interesting how Borat's culture is different from ours. Borat Sagdiyev (played by Sacha Baron Cohen) assumed that Pamela would marry him. Mr. Sagdiyev was doing his "documentary" to learn about our culture. If I were going to a foreign country, I would learn all I could about that country BEFORE I would go there: it's culture, customs, lifestyle, etiquette, and protocol. I would hire a etiquette or protocol coach, who specializes in international customs, to help me be acquainted to the country's way of life. That way I would know the proper way to say hello. And if I saw someone that I wanted to marry (like Mr. Sagdiyev did), I would know from the coach how that country views marriage and what would be involved in a marriage in the country.
