《波拉特》不招哈萨克和布什待见
11月3日一部被看好的喜剧片《Borat》就要上映了。脱口秀名嘴Ali G的扮演者Sacha Baron Cohen将会出演一部新的电影Borat。 Borat Sagdiyev是Sacha Baron Cohen继Ali G之后创作的又一个虚拟人物。 和Ali G一样，Borat Sagdiyev也是少数族裔，同样也在脱口秀里口无遮拦。 影片以纪录片的形式记述Borat作为成功人士，领着摄制组从家乡哈萨克斯坦到美国一路上的真实采访历程。 Borat Also Known As: Borat: Cultural Learnings Of America For Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan ,Borat Sagdiyev, Kazakhstan's sixth most famous man and a leading journalist from the State run TV network, travels from his home in Kazakhstan to the U.S. to make a documentary. On his cross-country road-trip, Borat meets real people in real situations with hysterical consequences. Kazakhstan's largest movie chain has done the expected -- banned the upcoming movie Borat. The theater chain, Otau Cinema, called the film "offensive, a complete lie and nonsense," and worried that "Americans will probably believe what they see there." Ironically, the same point was made by the Jewish Anti-Defamation League, which expressed concern "that the audience may not always be sophisticated enough to get the joke and that some may even find it reinforcing their bigotry. While Mr. Cohen's brand of humor may be tasteless and even offensive to some, we understand that the intent is to dash stereotypes." Sacha Baron Cohen has been barred from the White House after failing in his bid to invite Us President George W. Bush to a screening of his upcoming movie, Borat. The stunt was timed to coincide with an official visit by Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev, who is scheduled to meet with Bush to raise the profile of their country.
