Borat Subsequent Moviefilm (Amazon)
The follow-up film to the 2006 comedy centering on the
real life adventures of a fictional Kazakh television
journalist named Borat (Sacha Baron
Cohen). People will either love it or hate it, there
is no in between, and however people may feel after
watching this movie, it leaves an impact that makes all
of us think. Borat Subsequent Moviefilm makes you grin
and cringe at the same time at the ridiculous absurdity
of real life that is encapsulated into a coalesced plot
of sheer ridiculousness and unabashed behavior of people
who show their true selves to the world. Truly a unique
movie that'll make you cringe and laugh and at the end
of it, will make you think.
