CULTURE: Watch the First 4 Minutes of "Borat" Online

I like you... do you like me?

Borat, the fictional Kazakh character created by British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen, (and currently the bane of the actual Kazakhstan government) is readying his debut on movie screens everywhere this Novemeber 3rd.

Here are the first 4 minutes of the Borat moviefilm.



...is Niiiiice!

wow.


this movie seems ridiculously disrespectful.

I like!!!

What was funny about the show was less him, and more people's reaction to him. I would doubt he'll be able to capture the same humor from the show in this format. I hope I'm wrong though.

he was great on the al g show.haha. hilarious.

I can't see this being funny for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. **

Ooohhh god, I am still laughing at his bathing suit. God I love him!

you can't take everything as disrespectful because it makes fun of something. My girlfriend is russian/ukranian and it doesn't offend her. Why should it. I'm irish, and I don't drink, yet people make fun of drunken irishmen all the time. It's a stereotype but I know it isn't true. I don't really care if it gets made fun of once and a while, it generally never gets applied to me. People, I think, generally know this isn't the way it really is.

looks fun !

I thought the same thing about the Ali G Saves the World movie, but that was frickin' hillarious.

don't worry...it gets worse. he spends most of the movie making fun...and complete asses out of...middle Americans.




I don't think I would be able to sit through the WHOLE thing...but keep feeding me four minute segments and I'll think it's awesome.

This dude is like a Kazakhi version of Quagmire.

Apparently the producers felt the same way. The movie clocks in at 82 minutes.

At any rate this movie looks insanely funny. I haven't heard anything but glowing reviews about it. A few of my friends saw it at the Toronto Film Fest and said the audience was applauding some of the skits because it was so funny. A film fest audience. Applauding. Borat.

It is currently sitting at 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. The BBC released a story about the film today talking about some of the people that he interviews (specifically the speech coach and a woman's rights activist) and they both specified that even they found the movie funny. These being the people that were at the brunt end of Cohen's jokes.

This movie will do extremely well in the theatres and will easily become more than just a cult phenomenon.

I disagree. People need to just realize it's a joke, and just have fun w/it.



"If it is not success, I will be execute."

I laugh every time I hear him say that.

I decided to watch the video.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

"Naughty, naughty!"

The movie looks awesome. I don't see it as disrespectful to Kazakhstan because it isn't really intended to portray the country as it really is. I see it as more of a joke on American (perhaps Western) stereotypes of the republics in the region.

About the posters, the letter between the "r" and "t" is a Cyrillic character that kind of looks like an "a," but it is really the Russian equivalent of a "d." That means all of the posters say "Bordt."

of course the "B" is also really a "V" so....enh...

perhaps in Kazakhstan they pronounce the consenants with some varience, eh?
