Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (often shortened to Borat) is a 2006 mockumentary comedy film directed by Larry Charles. It stars the British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen in the title role of a fictitious Kazakh journalist, traveling through the United States recording real-life interactions with Americans. It is the second film built around one of Cohen's characters from Da Ali G Show, following Ali G Indahouse, which also featured a cameo by Borat. It was a critical and commercial success, despite an initially limited release in the United States. Cohen won the 2007 Golden Globe award for Best Actor: Musical or Comedy as Borat while the film was nominated for Best Motion Picture in the same category. Borat was also nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay at the 79th Academy Awards but lost to The Departed. Controversy surrounded the film even before its release. It has been criticised for having a protagonist who is sexist and anti-Semitic (Cohen is Jewish himself), and some who have appeared in the film have criticised and even sued its creators. All Arab countries other than Lebanon banned it, and the Russian government successfully discouraged cinemas there from showing it.
Borat Sagdiyev (Sacha Baron Cohen), a popular Kazakh television personality, leaves his homeland for the 'Greatest Country in the World' "US and A" to make a documentary at the behest of the fictitious Kazakh Ministry of Information. He leaves behind his mother, his sister, his wife Oksana and the town rapist, bringing along his producer Azamat Bagatov (Ken Davitian). Much of the movie features unscripted vignettes of Borat interviewing and interacting with Americans who believe he is a foreigner with no understanding of American
customs.
While in New York, he sees an episode of Baywatch on television and immediately falls in love with Pamela Anderson. He pumps a panel of feminists for information on her, learning her name and that she lives in California. He receives a telegram and learns, much to his delight, that his violent wife has been violated and killed by a bear. He resolves to go to California to 'have' Anderson's "vazhïn" and make her his new wife. Borat and Azamat were supposed to remain in New York, but Borat justifies the trip by telling the skeptical producer that "Pearl Harbor is there (California) and so is Texas". As Azamat is afraid to fly there for fear of a repetition of the September 11, 2001 attacks, which he believes were the work of the Jews, Borat takes driving lessons and buys a dilapidated ice cream van for the journey.
During the cross-country trip, Borat acquires a Baywatch television show booklet at a yard sale, and continues gathering footage for his documentary. He meets gay pride parade participants, politicians (including Alan Keyes and Bob Barr) and African American youths playing Cee-lo. He is also interviewed on live television and proceeds to disrupt the weather report. Visiting a rodeo, the reporter, after first exciting the crowd with jingoistic pro-U.S. remarks, sings a fictional Kazakhstan national anthem to the tune of "The Star-Spangled Banner", which receives a strong negative reaction. Staying at a bed and breakfast, Borat and his producer are stunned to learn that their hosts are Jewish. Fearful of death (or worse) at the hands of their hosts, the two "escape" after throwing money toward cockroaches which they believe are their Jewish hosts self-transformed. While Azamat advises a return to New York (where at least, he believes, there are no Jews), Borat attempts to purchase a handgun to defend himself against Jews. When told he cannot buy a gun because he is not an American citizen, Borat purchases a bear, which he names after his late wife, for protection.
Borat later attends a private dinner at an eating club in the South, at which he (unintentionally) insults or otherwise offends the other guests, and visits an antique shop with a display of Confederate heritage items, breaking glass and crockery.
The journey is interrupted when Borat, just out of the bathtub, exits the bathroom of his hotel room and sees Azamat masturbating while looking at a picture of Pamela Anderson in the Baywatch book. Borat becomes enraged and discloses his real reason for traveling to California. Things escalate into a fully nude brawl, with obvious homoerotic undertones,[5] which spills out into the hallway, a crowded elevator, and ultimately into a packed ballroom filled with mortgage brokers at a convention. The two are finally separated by security guards.
As a result, Azamat abandons Borat, taking his passport, all of their money, and their bear, whose head is later seen inside a motel refrigerator. Borat begins to hitchhike to California, but is soon picked up by Anthony, Justin and David, drunken University of South Carolina fraternity brothers. On learning the reason for his trip, they show him the Pam and Tommy sex video, revealing that she is not the virgin he thought she was. After leaving the three students, Borat becomes despondent, burning the Baywatch booklet and, by mistake, his return ticket to Kazakhstan. He regains his faith after attending a United Pentecostal camp meeting, at which Republican U.S. Representative Chip Pickering and current Mississippi Supreme Court Chief Justice James W. Smith, Jr. are present. He learns to forgive Azamat and Pamela. He accompanies church members on a bus to Los Angeles and disembarks to find Azamat dressed as Oliver Hardy (though Borat thinks that he is dressed as Hitler). The two reconcile and Azamat tells Borat where to find Pamela Anderson.
Borat finally comes face-to-face with Anderson at a book signing at a Virgin Megastore. After showing Anderson his "traditional marriage sack," Borat pursues her throughout the store in an attempt to abduct her until he is tackled and handcuffed by security guards. Afterwards, Borat seeks out and marries a prostitute named Luenell, whom he had befriended earlier in the film, and returns to Kazakhstan with her. The final scene shows the changes that Borat's observations in America have brought to his village, including the apparent conversion of the people to Christianity (the Kazakh version of which includes crucifixion of Jews) and the introduction of computer-based technology, such as iPods, laptop computers and a high-definition, LCD television.
Deleted scenes: The DVD included several deleted scenes from the film, including Borat being questioned by police officers at a traffic stop, visiting an animal shelter to get a dog to protect him from Jews, getting a massage at a hotel, and visiting an American doctor. There is also a montage of scenes cut from the film, including Borat taking a job at Krystal and taking part in a Civil War reenactment. The deleted scenes menu also includes an actual local TV news report about Borat's rodeo singing and a final "happy ending" scene about Borat appearing in a Kazakh show entitled "Sexydrownwatch', a Baywatch clone which also starred Azamat, Luenell, and Alexandra Paul.
A scene in which Borat was apparently imprisoned was also filmed, but removed under the threat of legal action by prison officials when they caught on to the "documentary's" true nature. The scene was leaked onto YouTube, but is not on the DVD release.
Dan Mazer confirmed in an interview that there was a scene cut in which Borat took part in the shooting of an actual pornographic film. He claimed the scene was cut for fears of excess alongside the naked hotel fight, although he had then anticipated it may be included on the DVD release.
Cast:
Sacha Baron Cohen as Borat Sagdiyev. Borat is a fictional journalist from Kazakhstan, distinguished by exaggeratedly strong misogyny, anti-Semitism and antiziganism, which is apparently the norm in his homeland. Borat was originally created as a character for Da Ali G Show and had appeared in every episode of the show.
Ken Davitian as Azamat Bagatov. The producer of Borat's documentary. Azamat was a new character created for the film. Davitian, as "The fat guy from Borat", was included at #2 on a list of "The 100 Unsexiest Men" by the Boston Phoenix.
Luenell as Luenell the prostitute. Luenell is the third and last completely fictional character in the film. She is first seen when Borat calls her to come to the Southern dinner, the climax of his effective destruction of the event.
Pamela Anderson. Pamela Anderson plays a central role in the film as the reason for the journalist's cross country journey. She also appears in person at the end of the film, as herself, in a staged botched abduction attempt by Borat.
