Borat: Anschluss Moviefilm

Borat is back, with this subsequent moviefilm. This will be compared to the original to no end, but with borat being a cultural icon in America, this one was bound to be very different.

I loved this film, it made me topple with laughter multiple times. The accomplishment of making this within a pandemic is also a massive achievement. Do I think this is better then the first one? No. Do I think this is a hilarious movie? Absolutely.

This one seems a lot more planned narratively and has a lot more scripted scenes, not bad things at all. The girl playing borat's daughter was also great.

Very nice!

What a violent on American culture, the debutantes ball and their dance was great.

Some Americans will not appreciate it, but the rest of us will laugh.

I would have to say that, overall, Subsequent Moviefilm was a bit disappointing. It had some very funny moments, but most of the time it was not all that funny. I had trouble believing that the people being filmed weren't aware of what was happening. Why would these people allow cameras into their businesses? Would two Q-anon followers actually invite a stranger (and presumably a cameraman) to stay with them? What about the Reverend at the pregnancy clinic? Wouldn't he question the cameras? Other people, too, behaved too normally, without questioning anything. I have read that Jeanine Jones, the babysitter, thought she was in a documentary, so her part was not as unbelievable as the others. She came off as a very caring and sweet woman. The movie was at it's best when skewering the Trump Administration and associates. That was where it got funny, and right on the mark. Giuliani was laughable in several ways. We have all heard of the "shirt tucking" scene, but his assertions on Trump's handling of COVID were absurd. Rudy has become a walking punchline, both with this movie and his press conference at the Four Seasons Complete Landscaping ( between the crematorium and the porn store). He just can't get any more ridiculous. I would say that the Moviefilm is worth seeing for several good jokes, but, honestly, overall, it is jot great.

There were a few moments when I laughed, but Borat as a character isn't relevant anymore. He doesn't have that anonymity to fool people and the situations are incredibly staged.

This is a very funny movie, but I don't think it lives up to the first one. I really like how Borat's relationship with his daughter grows though.

The girl who plays Borat's daughter is a great actress. I hope her career skyrockets because of this.
