Icons Sacha Baron Cohen BORAT 2006

Описание: Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (2006) is a satirical mockumentary starring Sacha Baron Cohen as Borat Sagdiyev, a fictional Kazakh TV reporter sent to the United States to learn about American culture.
Posing as a naïve outsider, Borat interviews real people and engineers outrageous situations that expose prejudice, hypocrisy, and social absurdities.
The film’s loose plot—Borat traveling across the U.S. and becoming obsessed with marrying Pamela Anderson—serves mainly as a framework for unscripted encounters. Hugely successful and deeply controversial, Borat won Baron Cohen a Golden Globe and cemented his reputation for fearless, confrontational comedy.
