Last week saw the release of a new film entitled Borat. If you have seen the movie I would like your thoughts.
Some have praised this film as a groundbreaking piece of work. An example of progressive and relevant film-making that is both clever and absolutely fearless. Some praise Borat as a ingenius creation, that Sacha Baron Cohen (the comedian who plays Borat) is a Sellers-esque performer and improvisor. There are those who believe that while the film is "hilarious", but also presents a very unsettling look at western civilisation and today's PC environment, cleverly exposing Hypocracy and home truths that many didn't know existed.
However there is the view that this film is just a one-joke mess, devoid of wit, mascarading as a clever version of MTV's Jackass. That the film is offensive, crude, juvenile and sadistic.
Is Borat a masterful triumph in new age film-making, or is the film a truely ugly piece of cyncism and vulgarity?
What do you think?
