Borat!: First 4 Minutes

Naughty! Naughty! Everyone I know is anxiously awaiting the the release of Borat! to U.S. theaters on November 3rd. Sacha Cohen has made us all laugh with Ali G., but I couldn’t stop laughing when I saw the preview for ‘Borat! Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan.’ In this ‘first four minutes’ clip, you will get a little taste of what Borat will bring you on November 3rd–Borat will show you his crib, play ping pong, don his ‘borat-kini’ on the beach, bring back the running-man, and promise a fellow villager a new arm from America. Some interesting tid-bits about the movie: Although the film is supposed to be set in Kazakhstan, it was really filmed in Romania–some of the characters who are supposed to be speaking Kazakh are really speaking Romanian. And not that us Americans would be able to tell the difference, but Sacha Cohen is really speaking Hebrew in the film (not Kazakh). Finally, the ‘jagshemash!’ greeting that Borat frequently uses to yell is taken from the Polish and Czech sayings for ‘How are you?’–‘Jak siÄ™ masz?,’ and ‘Jak se máš?,’ respectively. I can’t wait for this movie.
