Borat is my hero

borat01.jpgHere, this is Borat arriving in town for the Toronto Film Festival atop his wagon pulled by six peasant women. I don’t think he could have arrived in anything else.

Sacha Baron Cohen is undoutebly the funniest man on the planet. Da Ali G. Show is a testament to his versitality and uncompromising style, he was the best part of Madagascar as the lemur king, and if you haven’t seen Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, then you don’t know how much of a scene stealer he is.

With Borat, he plays the culture shock card perfectly as the uncouth, uncultured, misogynistic (and fictional!) reporter for Kazakhstan. The dark side of our grand Western principles get challenged to the very core as he goes around naively, trying to figure out what makes America so imitable while attempting to fit into our “strange ways” all throughout.

I can’t wait to see Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan. Here’s the preview if you have no idea what I’m speaking about:
