This film is absolutely hilarious!!! I did not stop laughing from the start to the end, and neither will you! Sasha Baron Cohen's infamous character Borat takes us on a journey across America, to find his new found love, Pamela...yes Pamela Anderson! We are firstly introduced to Borat's family and friends in his home village of Kazakhstan and his life as a Kazakhstani journalist. We learn that Borat is off to New York to learn the ways of the lets say 'modern world' and report back to his country! There are many eye watering situations Borat finds himself in in New York: from chasing innocent Americans around the streets to setting a chicken loose on a packed train! Once at his hotel, Borat discovers the amazing object that is the television, and to his amazement there are some beautiful people on there; one being the lovely Pamela!! Borat immediately falls in love and sets his heart on finding her and asking for her hand in marriage, (after finding out that his wife back home has been killed by a bear, much to his delight!!) Borat is travelling with his producer Azamat Bagatov and they both together meet many people along the way, including politicians and participants at Gay Pride Parade, plus Borat also appears on live television! The journey however grinds to a halt, when Borat finds Azamat pleasuring himself over a picture of his love Pamela - this ends up in a full blown naked attack on each other, which moves from the hotel room to the hotel hallway and into a packed convention room! Very funny!! So the two friends split up and Borat is left to continue his journey on his own! Borat finally finds Pamela at a Virgin Megastore in Calafornia and tries to adbuct her in his 'marriage sack' ; the struggle is quickly split up by her security guards though! The final part of the film sees us back in Kazakhstan, where Borat shows the changes his village has made: they all have become Christians (after his encounter at an Evangelical church !) and some of them are parading round with modern gadgets such as Ipods!
What I really loved about this film is the naivety of Borat: finding him being confused and unable to tackle simple tasks that to us seem common knowledge! I would definitely recommend anyone to watch this film: it has had some bad reviews about its sexist and discrimanating traits but have a light hearted sense of humour ,and you will really enjoy it!
