People don't understand it.

Rating: 8/10 (29 October 2007)

I found the movie very entertaining. From the reviews it seems a lot of people didn't get the joke. It seems some people can't get the premise of the film - Borat is an idiot.
Now I'm 47 years old. I grew up in the cold war. I remember the Russian stereotypes. I also grew up watching British comedy shows. British humor always is absurd. A good example of an absurd British book - A Hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy.
I can agree in someway that some of the put ons were a bit cruel. Hopefully after they filmed they informed the participants it was all a put on.
I also agree - top 250? NO WAY! Still a lot of the comments people just couldn't get it. Here's some examples of what an idiot Borat is. Just look some of the things he says; "Home of great warlord - Premiere Bush".
"We support your war of terror".
"Give me your tears now gypsy or I take them." He's from a backwards country that is very racist. It's not a slam against Jews. It's a slam against the racist mentality of his third world country.
It reminded me a lot of the hidden camera shows where you would see peoples reactions to absurd situations.
