Fourteen years later, goodbye Porat.
Borat has more wrinkles between his eyebrows and eyes, and he has a daughter who drags an oil bottle with him, and the whole person walks more years of fatigue.
However, this is insignificant compared to the so-called "Kazakhstan" changes in the outside world.
Fourteen years ago, Porat was the strangest existence in the entire United States. The more absurd he was, the more hypocritical people who talked with him would appear.
Today, the absurdity of the United States that Porat is facing has already refused to give up. On the contrary, Porat needs to wear a disguise.
Spoiler alert
(The following is an overview of the plot, if you don’t want to see it, you can jump directly to the dividing line)
A few days before watching "Borat 2", I re-reviewed the first "Borat". When fashion did not feel like it is today, when I revisited it a few days ago, I saw that the United States was false in the eyes of Porat. I felt the predictability of this movie.
Fourteen years ago, Porat used his madness to challenge almost all restricted areas in the United States: feminist rights, homosexuality, racial issues, Muslims, Gypsies, the disabled, Jews, and religious issues, between the two parties. Funny attacks, gun control, counter-terrorism and war issues...
We have seen the moral upper class of society, and we have also seen the angry lower class people, an America that already has the intention to divide, quietly presented in the movie.
What did Porat, who came to the United States and studied, brought to his country?
Christianity and Apple products.
In a blink of an eye, fourteen years have passed, but Porat, who brought "advanced" American technology to Kazakhstan, had an uncomfortable life. Because the film was insulting, he was fined for life as a coolie.
But how can our lucky Porat's succumb to this? This time Porat was assigned another task, because Trump did not establish friendly diplomatic relations with their great Kazakhstan after he took office, so he sent Porat to Vice President Pence to give them a gift that would allow them to recognize Kazakhstan-will The Minister of Culture of Kazakhstan, Johnny Monkey, who shoots pornographic videos.
So, just like fourteen years ago, Porat embarked on a new round of his trip to the United States.
In fact, there are some differences.
Because Porat, a household name in the United States, would be recognized when he walked on the main road after making the movie, he had to wear a disguise.
The Johnny monkey as a gift was eaten by Porat’s daughter who was smuggled over. Porat, who had the mission, had to start training her daughter to be a woman acceptable to Pence and gave it to Pence as a gift, so the two were again Modeling design is also an etiquette course, and it also observes and learns the attitude and lifestyle of American women and so on. The gift to Pence was naturally unsuccessful, but there are always new Trump henchmen who can be tempted with beauty, maybe just need to make a bigger chest.
But in the process of getting closer to American life, Porat’s daughter Tuta gradually realized that the “Kazakhstan” propaganda women can’t do this and that are all lies, and she left angrily. Father Porat.
Almost at the same time, when the epidemic broke out in the United States, Porat had to start home isolation with a few American red necks. Porat, who was tirelessly searching for her daughter, finally found out that her daughter Tuta was going to participate in an anti-home isolation rally. He threatened his daughter to dedicate herself to death. Fortunately, his conscience finally discovered that it was only a failure of the mission, and Porat could only return to his country and wait for his death.
Wandering around, Porat suddenly found that he was going to the United States to give gifts as a guise. In fact, he was the No. 0 patient of the new crown. All this was a conspiracy by the unrecognized President of Kazakhstan. Of course, Porat, who has access to the pornhub mobile phone, finally took the lead this time.
I learned faith and technology from the United States 14 years ago. What about 14 years later?
This time, they learned about women's rights and learned about fighting the epidemic.
Oh, sorry, the fight against the epidemic is not learned. The United States is just trampling on the science that was envied by other countries 14 years ago.
I remember when "Joker" was released last year, many people said that they felt offended while watching it. Then the two Porats will undoubtedly pierce the viewer's nerves more sharply.
But this kind of cruel humor was actually explained in the first part of "Borat" when he first came to the United States.
In the first book, Porat’s first lesson when he first came to the United States was to learn American humor culture. A language expert told him a common humor technique, which is to say an incorrect thing first, and then add a slight pause. The last sentence "is not it".
And the two "Borat" is actually this kind of "crappy American humor". He first throws out an extremely incorrect point of view to challenge people's nerves, but when to take back the burden and end the joke without giving It gave an overly clear signal, so the audience didn’t know when they started to laugh, or when they laughed, they realized that something was wrong, because this movie they thought was a joke, because there was no such "it’s not it", it became Bloody facts.
This Porat is actually a little bit fragmented. It can be seen that the "epidemic" part may be a temporary idea during the filming, but it is better to follow the trend. In Porat's eyes, the US attitude towards the epidemic is perfectly in line with the situation. This film shows the theme of "absurdity" through "absurdity".
The original script, judging from the current movie, probably mainly focused on the story of giving her daughter as a gift to Trump's cronies.
Different from Porat’s “absurd ignorance” attribute, Porat’s daughter Tuta has the trait of “low status” in addition to “ignorance”. She was taught by a small manual that women should live in cages. , Can't drive, can't work, can't make fun, and have the goal of life to marry a rich old man. So along the way Porat took his daughter to "towards modernity", we can also see people's attitudes towards this strange combination of father and daughter.
Although Porat and his daughter did a lot of embarrassing things because of their limited knowledge, but at the beginning, everyone seemed not to care about it, whether it was the worker who took the money and nailed the tuta back to the box, or bought the cage. I didn't mind that it was used to shut down the little girl, or Porat, who went to the playground, used a dog leash to tie the girl. Maybe everyone felt wrong, but no one really came out to stop it.
This uneasy feeling caused by ignorance of abortion, "children" and several stages of plastic surgery have become more and more fearsome. The first response of doctors when facing possible "father and daughter incest" is to avoid Not to talk about it, but to pay attention to the fact that the child is a gift from God; the bridge section where the child is born in the toilet is just to make passers-by look a little bit. Just want Porat to pay the surgery fee.
Porat and their discrimination against gender may be bad, but this is a performance after all. Those who see this extreme discrimination but remain silent are even more chilling.
Of course, under the persuasion of the black nanny, the daughter Tato slowly began to awaken her self-awareness (this nanny should be an actor, not surprisingly, the first part of "Borat" has several roles to specifically promote the development of the plot. In addition to the actor, in addition to the black nanny, the salesperson of the fax machine shop may also be an actor), but in the second half of the movie, the moment when New York City Mayor Rudy extended his claws to the little girl, it was ridiculous. Not Porat, but this seemingly normal American society.
(Note: According to the interview with Rudy in the past two days, he claimed that the movie was taken out of context. After the girl let him into the room for interview, his clothes were torn out because the headphone cord was taken out, and he was just Try to stuff the clothes back. As for the real situation, everyone can decide for themselves)
The part of the new crown can be seen as a temporary intention (or helplessly) added to the plot during shooting, but the final effect is actually okay.
Borat’s singing as a country singer at a rally against segregation is actually like the declaration of the first "Borat" at the Cowboy Conference.
Remember that time his declaration?
"I support your war on terrorism. I support your soldiers stationed in Iraq. I hope that the United States will kill all terrorists. I hope Bush will suck the blood of Iraqi men, women and children. I hope you can completely destroy this country. For a thousand years, even lizards could not survive in their deserts."
At that time, people began to cheer for his speech, but later, as his words became more and more outrageous, people began to hesitate. At that time, although these Americans were radical, they still had a certain sense of reason.
So, take a look at what he sang this time.
"Obama is a traitor, and people hate him to the bone. He should go to jail. The new crown virus is a liberal ecstasy. We should inject Obama with Wuhan flu, we should inject Professor Fauci with Wuhan flu, and we should inject the Saudis. Learn, chop both reporters and WHO in half, and use poison gas against scientists..."
This time, everyone did not feel wrong, everyone was very happy.
Porat is no longer unique, no longer grandstanding, because in the eyes of Americans, what he did is no longer crazy. In the Yankee’s house, they talked about the rumors of Hillary sucking blood from children, but they said that Porat’s views were conspiracy theories.
Maybe Porat is a little bit puzzled like Arthur in "Joker", "Is it me, or is the world around me getting crazy?"
This is a portrayal of an increasingly fragmented United States. Those elites still preach certain so-called political correctness, why not eat meat, and the people with low cultural quality still gather in their own small circles to discuss conspiracy theories and resist scientists. .
Borat, who is too famous, has had to use all kinds of disguise to integrate into the American community to listen to their true thoughts. On the other hand, those Americans do not even want to wear masks, because they believe that all this is a conspiracy.
I don’t think Porat needs to go to the United States to study anything.
Is the behavior of buying ar-15 from Wal-Mart that abruptly abusing scientists, is it really much better than Jews laying eggs?
Hey, who cares, America is great, and it will be over after four years of work.
