It's certainly the kind of film that will encourage discussion
afterwards.

journalist from Kazakhstan who is the least politically correct
character imaginable, Baron Cohen spits out the most outrageous
racist and sexist statements he can think of. Yet it's the reaction
of most of his unknowing victims that proves to be the most
interesting aspect of Borat.

Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of
Kazakhstan is not for the easily offended or for those who don't get
Sacha Baron Cohen's satirical humor. If even one scene from the
trailer or TV commercials has upset you, do not go see Borat.
Nothing is off-limits – not feminists, Jewish people, Pentecostals,
homosexuals, or politicians. If there's a way to stir the pot and
use this shocking mockumentary to make us examine our values, Borat
goes for it. Speaking in his own particularly bizarre mangled
version of English, Borat begins his film by showing the audience
around his glorious Kazakhstan, a country with many problems
including "economic, social and Jew." After introducing us to his
wife, hated neighbor, and award-winning prostitute sister, Borat
explains a little about his family history (his father was Boltolk
the rapist) before he and his producer, Azamat (Ken Davitian), take
off for
> America. Once in America, Borat proceeds to skewer Western
values at every turn. From inquiring of a gun store owner which gun
to buy to kill Jews, to carrying on a conversation with the head of
a rodeo about killing all homosexuals and then whipping up that
rodeo crowd by praising America's "war of terror," Borat's just as
offensive as the genuinely shocking responses he elicits.
