Satire Post #3
After reading the interview with Borat, I think it’s difficult to ‘label’ the movie. While on the one hand, I believe it’s a brilliant satirical production, I can also relate to the civilians of Kazakhstan who may be unable to overlook the ’satircal’ element because it’s their country that is being ‘joked’ about. I know that regardless of the message sent from the production, I’d still take some offense it was my country. I believe that if more civilians are educated with the movie’s true values, there would be less conflict. The cautious, boring side of me says that there are “less hurtful” ways to bring across the point, but what the hell, I pissed myself when I saw Borat.
