Simone Magus posted:Yeah I actually thought this one was a lot better than the first. I love SBC but have always thought Borat and Bruno were his weakest characters. That's a really odd opinion, Borat and Bruno are the absolute best at exposing people being horribly racist/homophobic/vapid, while Ali G just trolls people, which isn't as funny. Even in trolling, Borat generally does it better than Ali G. His best ever character is the Assad guy, just due to accomplishing the absolute worst moment of exposure to the point the Republican Rep had to resign. Ali G movie is okay enough - it got Tywin Lannister to dance in a leotard so there's that.

borat: gift of sexy monkey to vice premier mikhail pence, was a very good film. I had many more laughs than I expected going in, honestly. gotta echo that the daughter actress was absolutely phenomenal. SBC and her are a supremely powerful combo

this movie felt a lot sadder than the first Borat, to be honest. like, the first one is, subtextually, sort of a warning that there's a weird-rear end (and frankly kind of goofy, on a small scale) darkness to our culture that we really, really need to work on. this one... is more or less SBC coming back to the character to go "welp, you assholes didn't listen, all of that poo poo consumed America entirely, you're all hosed."

I think he said $500,000, which is more disturbing since an old white dude could name a price for sex trafficking off the top of his head I would have had the daughter try to interview Mark Zuckerberg about why Facebook lied to her about the holocaust never happening Good poo poo

Since people seemed to have trouble getting into the post movie thing, it was about a half hour of Q&A that seemed somewhat scripted. Like, the people who agreed to do it were randoms, but they were told what question they were to ask. It was pretty good, and SBC did some improvisational stuff while interacting with them too. After that, it was a half hour or so of a dance party. I enjoyed the movie and laughed out loud at parts. I think more people in it knew and understood they were doing a bit, but I'm not sure they knew what that bit was. Maybe the growth of reality TV has forced that to be the case because it's harder to fool people that what's happening is genuine when a camera is there, and somewhat normalized being a sort-of on-camera audience as well as facilitator for these kinds of bits. It had a different feel than the first one, but ultimately I enjoyed it. The underlying father-daughter storyline was genuinely sweet. I want to see more of the Donald-Melania cartoon. When he grabbed her and they started dancing I about died. Murdstone fucked around with this message at 19:02 on Oct 23, 2020 |

One of the most important scenes in the movie, and one I haven't heard discussed much, is when Borat showed the conspiracy nuts his "daughter owners' manual", and all of a sudden they were like "nah, that's a conspiracy theory, that's not real, you can't be doing that poo poo!" It speaks to the brainwashing process that goes on, and the fact that these aren't all just dumb, uncaring assholes. They've been systematically broken and abused by our society but, I mean, they thought that their new buddy was going to be executed and they gave a poo poo and tried to help him, all while saying Obama should go to jail and the democrats are worse than Coronavirus. We can't accept those nuts as they are, and it's not easy to deprogram them, but that scene made me think it's not a lost cause.

It’s dark but you can see a the silhouette of a man with a black leather jacket. On the table is a folder with CLASSIFIED and photos of Ali G and Bruno. Samuel L Jackson walks out of the shadows and says “Mr. Sagdiev, I’m here to talk to you about the Avengers initiative.” Cut to black.

There's no post credits scene, it's just a static image with a quote that's a tribute to Judith Dim Evans, the holocaust survivor who appeared in the synagogue scene. She died very recently (though I can't find exactly when---within the last couple days if not actually yesterday as far as I can tell). edit: okay, apparently she passed "sometime this summer" but I can't find precisely when edit2: here's a pic https://twitter.com/StefanTetelepta/status/1319612357501505537 Jigsaw fucked around with this message at 00:08 on Oct 24, 2020 |

Yeah, tbh I liked how it humanized them without making excuses for their beliefs. I think it's really easy to just look down on these people (let's be fair, they make it pretty drat easy) but ultimately they are just brainwashed by the insane loving society we live in. And those dudes didn't seem outwardly racist or evil or anything. Just duped by the media they surrounded themselves in.

That's what I liked a lot about this. It wasn't 100% punching down on people. He was going after the people up top. Obviously there's no way a buncha hicks in Washington/Oregon would just let a dude stay with them for a while with a camera crew, but they made it work well.

It was genuinely laugh out loud funny in multiple places, and neatly dealt with the problem of Borat as a cultural touchstone. I really hope to see Bakalova get more work because she was outstanding.Teenage Fansub posted:You don't think he gave time to those synagogue ladies in the genuine wish to relay their message? They say they have footage of her being in on the joke. The Human Crouton posted:I hated it. I was deciding whether to place it above or below Zoolander 2 while I was watching it, and by the end it was definitely below. With this level of wrong-headedness you could have been in the film.

Just saw the movie and cringed so many times. Worthy sequel, I think it might even be better than the original. Still, I wonder if SBC has said anything about what the third act would have been if not for COVID; the final scenes make sense only is this awful world, so I'd like to know what got scrapped to make the best of these circumstances.

I liked it a lot. I'm glad I could pause it every ten minutes or so to avoid gasping in hilarity or horror. Cohen is kinder to his subjects than he might have been. Some of the victims are clearly in on the gag, and some (Giuliani) are clearly not. One guy in the bathroom scene has his face blurred, so he must have refused to sign something. Practically all the other participants must be collaborators to some extent. This seems like a kindness on SBC's part. They could've looked worse if we didn't suspect they were playing along. The people credited as "Location Managers" did some heavy lifting. How did they keep SBC out of jail after CPAC? He probably had a valid floor pass. And, of course, whatever legal waivers they needed from Giuliani were probably folded into whatever he signed, while drunk, in order to be interviewed. The throwaway gag near the end where Borat coughs on the dead bird in the wet market had me rolling. edit: Oh yeah, the thing they hooked Giuliani with is an ancient blackmail scheme called "The Badger Game." It's transparent and very crooked. Somebody like Giuliani should be able to recognize this and not fall for it, but he did. bitey fucked around with this message at 11:36 on Oct 24, 2020 |

Basically a producer tells them that this Borat guy is from a country that's a bit backward so he might do some strange things, and to just roll with it. God bless that wonderful babysitter. And that teenage girl from the debutante ball that calls her dad a loving rear end in a top hat for eye-loving Tutar. And drat Maria Bakalova was incredible. Hope this is a breakout role for her. She deserves it. DickParasite fucked around with this message at 11:49 on Oct 24, 2020 |

I would have loved it if they dialed down the plot and added more gags. In the original, the plot was there to tie the pranks together, but it seemed to be the other way around. The female actress did a really great job, and I hope she doesn't suffer the Jackass curse, where the outrageous nature of the gags ground their careers before it has a chance to take off. Goes without saying but obviously SCB has managed to avoid this, and I hope he can guide her through the aftermath.
