Review of Borat Subsequent Moviefilm: Delivery of Prodigious Bribe to American Regime for Make Benefit Once Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (2020) by Peppemister — 25 Oct 2020

I made an account just to review this film - after having watched the original in total over thirty times over the years. In fairness, it's not as original as the first and some jokes feel somewhat recycled. But by God look at how triggered some people on the political spectrum are about this film, but listen here; in Borat 1 people were ridiculed in the same way as people are ridiculed in this film. They are ridiculed primarily for their MORAL views (right to self determination/abortion, feminism etc). Look at how many people conflate moral views with political views in this comment section, almost everybody. Thereby people think the movie is mocking a specific political colour as opposed to poking fun at poor morals. If these people would rewatch Borat 1 with their current mindset they'd critique it for the same thing as they are critiquing the current movie - 'political propaganda'. Borat hasn't become more political, rather, western (particularly American) culture has!

In sum : This movie, just like Borat 1, is poking fun at poorly developed morality (anti-feminism, rejecting abortion). Just because the current political culture conflates and links morality with political colours does not make this a political film. This is EXACTLY a current societal development that this movie is trying to highlight you absolute snowflakes.

People who think this film is political propaganda have been wooshed by fricking Borat. Brains the size of squirrels, no doubt.
