So, who's seen this movie, and do you believe that the movie will get something out from the Oscars?

I'm gonna rent it too. I doubt it will get anything from the Oscars, just because of all the conterversy(sp?) over it. I hear the guy in the movie is getting sued and has had a bunch death threats sent to him.

The movie has some very funny moments, but sometimes it's just waiting for the next funny moment. The best work in the movie is made by Sacha Baron Cohen himself. If you've seen an Ali G movie, or watched his show, the transformation to Borat is awesome. Feminism, homosexuality, americans, people with disabilities, incest, if you can't be comfortable talking or "joking" about these issues, then you might not handle the stuff shown in the movie. It's not for everyone. The movie so far has had four lawsuits, won a Golden Globe and was also nominated for another, and many other awards. Here's a list of them: imdb.com/title/tt0443453/awards

And they...what? They wrestle naked in a hotel room (and go into very adult-oriented positions (intentionally for some laughs), but if you've watched WWE, it's not much different. Except for the no-clothes thing.) Then they run to the elevator, and into a conference hall, where some event is taking place. Completely cause a scene, and are thrown out of the hotel. There is censorship, so you don't get to see (thankfully) their private parts. Although this is the one scene in the movie where I just had to look the other way. It's not pretty to look at. Actually, it's disgusting.
Here's some other scenes that are rather controversial: - singing "the anthem of Kazakstan" in the tune of the anthem of the US (the lyrics are rather rude). - showing polaroids of Borat's son naked (actually a homosexual porn star) (This is the only part of the movie where censorship doesn't hit, even though you would think that it would). - buying a car, and Borat''s questions about how much damage the Hummer will receive if he's hitting a group of gypsies, hard. - buying a gun, and asking what gun is the best choice for shooting jews. (and the movie has a lot of anti-jewish moments in it, jews are "jokingly" depicted as shape-shifting witches that will try to kill you and steal your money).
Imagine this: driving a used ice-cream van across america, with a bear in the back.
