Borat Subsequent Moviefilm: Delivery of Prodigious Bribe to American Regime for Make Benefit Once Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (2020)
What's there to expose in an age where people plaster their contentious beliefs on social media without a semblance of shame?
Like Brüno and the original Borat, this movie uses an exaggerated character to expose the latent prejudices ingrained in American culture - xenophobia, misogyny, racism - fact and fiction become muddled as everyday Americans prove themselves to be more farcical than this made-up character. This was a lot more scripted than the other films, making it ultimately less memorable and impactful, but the line being blurred between fact and fiction - the notion that the world is truly stranger than fiction - is pretty effective. There were a lot of shoehorned callbacks to the first film that really didn't work for me, and the commentary is much less subtle, but overall, I enjoyed it. If this interests you, I suggest you watch it as soon as possible - I don't know how well this film is going to hold up in fourteen years. The original Borat is still so relevant, but this film is so specific to the current political climate in its satire that I can't see it holding THAT much weight in a decade's time.
