It's weird because if they remember him to the point of not being able to film it, then his earlier work was more than successful. I'd love to see more from him though.

Borat 2 was not a good movie at all, he completely forgot how to do the character, the accent sounded nothing like it did in Da Ali G Show or Borat 1, and he focused way too much on the cheesy lines like "Very nice," instead of what actually made the character really funny in the original show and the movie. He didn't have the true wit or humor that Borat did originally, it felt like it was someone else doing a really bad impression of Borat, not actually Borat. He definitely needs to keep Borat retired unless he can remember how to do the character again.

@@Masterpieceman16 I highly doubt it, if he lost his touch he lost his touch, age and more time away from the character isn't going to improve him, it will have the opposite effect. I don't think he even cares about the character much anymore, he only used the 2nd movie to push a political message before the elections, the main goal obviously wasn't just making a really funny movie.

It was staged. The whole thing was staged. Everyone laughs at Borat's "victims" because they don't realize it's fake... whilst everyone at home is being fooled by the promotional team who puts on ridiculous productions like this to further perpetuate the con job. The joke is on you. SBC is no hero. He's pretty good, but he not THAT good. 11:34 - Look carefully and honestly at that frame. It's stage-lighted for film. That's "Hollywood magic" right there, in front of your face. Sure, there was probably a lot of improv, but everyone knows they're starring in a movie.

Donating to a woman to make sure she would be okay, then her donating the money back into the community to ensure it would be okay is one of the greatest love stories put to film.
"They did it in complete secrecy." I remember specifically the Trump prank and the country singer scene, both of those made the news and the wider internet pretty quickly honed in on the idea that there was probably a new Borat film being made. There's a handful of moments where they straight up got caught filming the second movie.

thank you for making me finally delve into Sacha's works
That's got the be the best improv comedian I've ever seen.
I love his movies brilliant the two movie were brilliant!
This is solid, great work! Excited to see what else you do!
The fact that Borat character was retired at least in part because Sacha thinks it has become too dangerous now makes me really worried about the world, the flashpoint can be really close.
I didn't have nearly as much fun with the second Borat movie as with his older works, but still Cohen is one of the greatest artists of our generation and by far the most radical, dedicated and authentic comedian alive at the moment. True maestro.
Borat 2 felt like it was a scripted movie with a whole crew of actors.
Fantastic breakdown of the methods used and how it changes the script. Thanks for the video.
Thank you for your compilation. Very touching. Sacha Baron Cohen is a genius comedian!
I watched da Ali G show and Ali G movie and I always knew if Sacha made a Borat movie it would be a GREAT SUCCESS!

Privacy is a tricky subject all the way around. People shouldn’t need something “to hide” in order to have privacy. But as far as laws go, you have less expectation of or right to privacy in public places compared to something like your home, for example. And in the home you expect more privacy in the bathroom than in the kitchen. In the modern world with cameras almost everywhere, things had to be adjusted. Therefore filming people in public places isn’t usually considered a violation of privacy. If you’re already in public, where random people could walk by and see you, then is what they would see being captured on film that much farther of a step? So no, people do not have to sign waivers or have their faces blurred. Even if the resulting product will be monetized. How else would the entire industry of influencers exist? A good chunk of what they do is in public, or even based on public reactions. People already shit all over anything that could possibly be considered as faked or staged. How much worse would all the cringe type content actually be if every person in every video had to consent? It’s just not how any of this stuff works. Hope that helped clear up some of the basics about filming in public and modern right to privacy
