Saterical humor at its best!

Rating: 8/10 (31 January 2007)

I have immense respect for Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan. I have never seen a movie that took the line of what's acceptable and pushed it so far, intact Borat took the line and violated it in every way possible. I think what made me respect this movie so much was the fact that it was incredibly Anti-American. It took the flaws of the cultures of America and exploited them for all its worth. However every American I know that has seen it has loved it. Not many movies that make Americans look so bad are loved as much.
No matter how much I loved the idea of Borat, it really was a bit much for me. Not often can humor be too crude for myself, but points of this movie are so incredibly inappropriate that even I became a little uneasy, some very shocking methods were used to get reaction out of the audience, some of it was great, however a few scenes were a bit much for me. Everyone has their levels, and a few of the scenes scraped upon my levels.
This movie however did its job. It makes you believe the entire time its an actual documentary, you believe that what you are seeing actually all happened. You never think "its just a movie" you think "this is the most screwed up documentary I have ever seen." The fact that the documentary atmosphere was done so well made all the humor that much more crude and shocking, everything seems that much more real.
I did love this movie, It took all the flaws in American society and making all the social classes able to come together in the same theater and laugh at each other, with no one insulting anyone else, or anyone getting offended because this movie makes fun of every possible class that anyone can fit into you cant help but laugh at yourself.
I would recommend seeing this, however be warned, it is incredibly crude, and some may think disturbing at points. Be ready for every possible shocking thing you can think of to happen, for even I was un-easy at parts. Although it was a bit much for me at some points, that doesn't mean it wasn't great.
