Borat returned to America to offer, among other things, his own daughter to Vice President Pence at a Republican rally. He again sent a fictional journalist for an interview with Rudy Giuliani, a former New York mayor and now President Trump’s personal lawyer.
“Borat’s video is a fabrication. I just tucked in my shirt after they took off my microphone. I never behaved inappropriately. If Sacha Baron Cohen claims otherwise, he is a liar, “Giuliani subsequently explained a video in which he lies in front of an alleged conservative journalist in a hotel room on a bed and with his hands in his pants.
Truth or lie?
Already the first film from 2006 about a primitive Kazakh reporter with an anti-Semitic mindset brought Cohen a lawsuit for some scenes. He also earned him $ 262 million. While for some Cohen is a liar and a vulgar fool, others see him as someone who bravely denounces prejudices. And not only as a Borat, but also as a London gansta Ali G or a dictator of a fictional state. He also recently discussed the Americans in the series Who is America.
Cohen has long been a so-called mockument, ie a film that is formally a document, but instead of actual events, presents fiction. The ideal conditions were created for him by the American company before the presidential election and especially in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic, which Borat catches with the help of a spray and a pan.
