News...Celebrity Quotes and News...Did They Really
Say That... Borat movie looks at sexist, elitist and racist attitudes in US, huge box office hit "Is it not a problem that the woman have a smaller brain than a man? The government scientist Dr Yamuka has proved it is size of squirrel." This is a quote from spoof reporter Borat, as he poses the question whether women should be educated, in an interview with the Veteran Feminists of America (VFA). The outrageous Borat has hit the big screens across the US, UK and rest of the world as the star of the mockumentary phenomenon, 'Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan.' American and British comedy will never be quite the same again after the controversial Borat movie opened on November 3 in cinemas across the United States, United Kingdom and elsewhere. Rave reviews from the critics and huge box office takings have greeted the hilarious movie wherever it has been screened. One country where it has gone down like a lead balloon is Kazakhstan. Not surprisingly it provoked a stormy reaction from the Kazakh government, which threatened legal action and published a four-page supplement in The New York Times extolling the country's attractions. The movie's central character Borat Sagdiyev - played by British comedian creator Sacha Baron Cohen - is a racist, sexist and anti-Jewish Kazakhstan reporter. But while some have found Borat offensive, it's not always Borat who is doing the offending. The movie looks at the sexist, elitist and racist attitudes still present in the United States. Some unsuspecting American victims 'interviewed' by Borat spew forth racist, sexist, homophobic and bigoted views which don't exactly do them proud. He asks a gun shop owner what are the best weapons to kill Jews, and the gun shop owner says, a nine millimeter or a 45. Borat's creator Sacha Baron Cohen has been at the centre of a major bidding war to secure exclusive rights to a new movie based on another of his characters. Hollywood film company Universal Pictures reportedly offered $42.5 million for the worldwide rights to the film 'Bruno,' based on the flamboyant gay Austrian fashion reporter character also created by Baron Cohen. A counter-bid is understood to have come in from Twentieth Century Fox, the company behind the Borat movie. Universal is understood to have won the rights to the 'Borat' follow-up 'Bruno.'
