| | What kind of people really enjoy a film like this? Are they really different from me? I hear people here in the office say that they went to see it last night, and ask "Have you seen it?" It's a fairly hot topic of conversation, a month after it has released.
John, a fairly old looking guy, in his mid-50s.
A friend of his, a woman, nearly walked out. He himself thought it just wasn't that funny. He watched it all but was altogether disappointed with it. "I love Monty Python and all that John Cleese stuff, but... it's just a totally different type of humour I guess." He laments to the woman in the cubicle next to me. "The jokes weren't very good... and it just got repetitive, and he just went too far."
Sarah, a young corporate upstart, in her early 20s
Talking to a group around the lunch table, "I thought it was hilarious". Man in his mid-20s puts in, "Really? I got friends who've seen it, some of them say it's great and some of them just don't like it." "Yeah... people who don't like Borat, I reckon there's something wrong... (with them)." I just want to pipe up but don't want to poop on the conversation. Am I that out of place?
I really like Ali G, I really do like TV-episode Borat, but I didn't love this movie. Why not? I even loved the Ali G movie :S There was one part that was really good though. When he went to the rodeo with a microphone in the middle of an arena with a 1000-strong crowd and voiced his support for president Bush about Iraq, saying, "May your warlord George Bush kill the terrorist men, women, and children, and drink their blood." I laughed. |
