The main issue with Borat wasn't the negative stereotypes of Kazakhstanians, it was the treatment of the villagers of God, how they were paid and lied to about how they'd be depicted in the movie that I at least personally didn't appreciate. It's a great film and Sascha Baron Cohen is a brilliant actor making actually meaningful content like Who Is America.
- bleeding 6y agoAgreed, I think that everything else in the movie is rather pointedly aimed at revealing and satirizing the reaction of average Americans to a "foreigner", but the scenes involving the villagers lose that focus and reflect poorly on those involved with the movie. I don't think that discounts what the movie is successful at doing, though.
