Borat's performance reminded me of the pro wrestler Tiger Jeet Singh.

 


I don't know if it is just me, but I though the appearance of Borat in the Jimmy Kimmel show was perfectly hilarious.

Borat's performance reminded me of the pro wrestler Tiger Jeet Singh, in that Borat completely set the pace and dominated the scene. 


This would be only possible with meticulous calculation and unshakable self confidence. Huge respect for Borat, and the man behind the character, Sacha Baron Cohen.


The act by Borat's daughter, Maria Bakalova was also superb.

I watched "Borat" last night. There were a lot of "too extreme" scenes for me, but I enjoyed that silliness anyway(too embarrassingly funny to laugh at) and was relieved to recognize the "love" and "justice" underlying the film, though ironically. While watching, I was reminded of my pretty student from Kazakhstan, who told me that in her country, girls were expected to be married by 23! Because of that it was impressive to see how Borat's daughter grew up to find the happiness of being independent and free.
