Borat - Part II
Well, at the risk of beating this horse to death, I just had to include a link to this article:http://www.newyorker.com/shouts/content/articles/061204sh_shouts
in the New Yorker which nicely sums up my point of view on this film. It is written in the form of a memo giving suggestions for add-in scenes for the DVD version. One quote:
“GANGSTA” SECTION: The scene where Borat says something intentionally offensive to the inner-city black guys—where is that scene? I have been unable to find it. Here I definitely suggest a reshoot. In the attachment, I have provided a list of common racial slurs that Sacha could try out on “the brothers,” just to see what they do to him. My thought is, that seems to be the ethos of the rest of the film—i.e., Sacha saying/doing the most offensive things possible, in order to elicit a reaction—so I sense a little inconsistency here. Thoughts?
