Just saw the trailer of Borat, a movie about a reporter from Kazakhstan that is sent to the US.
"A shamelessly crass but unquestionably funny fish-out-of-water comedy, "Borat" is guaranteed to offend someone during the hour and a half it takes to race by. Indeed, it seems designed to operate that way: The folks around me groaned as often as they giggled."
"The anti-Semitic and homophobic jokes that turn up in "Borat" can be obnoxious."
"Most are obviously intended as satirical pokes at prejudice and its annoying tendency to stick around in the 21st century, but it's easy to imagine an audience that will sympathize and even agree with some of the sentiments. It's the old Archie Bunker dilemma: at what point does an accurate send-up of boorishness become an endorsement of it? "
I think it's so lame to make fun of cultural differences, that's why we are next to world war again.
They use Kazakhstan flag with no respect, i really dislike that, the fact that US citizens and enterprises put the flag everywhere doesn't mean the whole world do the same, you know?
lol of course you can think it's just a movie!
