So I saw the Borat movie.I was surprised that it was all shot on a handycam, likely held under someone's arm or coat so as to not be noticed. That Romanian village where they shot stuff, was truly depressing.OMG when they stayed at the bed and breakfast with the Jewish couple, that was hysterical. The couple were so sweet - and how Borat was played, you simulaneously thought he was an idiot for being prejudiced, but you felt his fear of the unknown. Brilliant.The media kind of overhyped how Borat makes the americans look dumb... so I was looking for that in the movie, would have been better had it been more of a surprise than me looking for it. But most of all, it would have stood up just as well, or better, if they just showed all the skits, without the story plot elements to "tie" the movie together. It would have been funny to have seen all teh different takes. I was HIGHLY aware that some of the boneheaded comments his unwitting subjects/actors were making were edited together out of context, esp. when he sang the modified anthem in the rodeo arena. I was like whatever. The magic of editing is pretty substantial in changing what something means. However some people, there is no way they could have been taken out of context - they were pretty clear on who they hated, if a little fuzzy on WHY they hated.PS there are naked men in it. It's not a film for Grandma - or at least, let her go with her own friends instead, so you're not embarrassed. LOL
