Borat 2 – A Not So Stunning Sequel To A Great Comedy of Social Criticism
The new Borat film is not as funny as the first one
BORAT SUBSEQUENT MOVIEFILM: DELIVERY OF PRODIGIOUS BRIBE TO AMERICAN REGIME FOR MAKE BENEFIT ONCE GLORIOUS NATION OF KAZAKHSTAN
Borat 2 is one of the most talked-about films of recent times. People had high hopes from the film and felt that they had already seen it. But sadly, the film has not succeeded in making its mark in a way we thought and has served us with something we were not expecting. Read the full review of Borat 2 below.
Warning: Borat 2 spoilers beyond this point.
In the sequel, Borat 2, Kazakhstani journalist Borat Sagdiyev (Sacha Baron Cohen) returns to his home country after the release of Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan. His return to his home country is not pleasant as he had spent years in a prison camp after being humiliated by his low-brow depiction of the Kazakh people. He can be seen doing hard labour until an opportunity for redemption appears.
Borat is summoned before the govt. and is given a task of repairing international relations. If he failed to do so, he would have to face death. His main task is to offer the Minister of Culture of the country and the best porn star Jonny, the Monkey as a gift to the Vice Premier Mikhael Pence (who is obviously Vice President Mike Pence). When that fails, Borat decides to gift Pence his own daughter, Tutar Sagdiyev (Maria Bakalova) who is just 15-year-old.
Borat 2 has a makeover sequence, pretty cringe-worthy experiences, and enough boredom to make your mind meander away at times. The only solace is the last half an hour which makes the entire ordeal worth it. It is so unexpected that we won’t be surprised if Rudy Giuliani has to face some consequences for his unexpected move. We’ll end this review of Borat 2 by saying that the final half an hour of the film includes Donald Trump’s personal attorney being in a compromising situation that includes hidden cameras and a hotel room. You have to see the jaw-dropping event for yourself because it’s not what you are probably thinking.
Nicholas Barber of BBC reviewed Borat 2 by saying “Having been made with a specific political purpose, Subsequent MovieFilm won’t age as well as the previous Borat did. It’s the ripped-from-the-headlines relevance that makes it so fascinating, and it’s the boiling rage at current politics that makes it so bracing. There aren’t many films as urgently satirical as this one.”
