This time the feature film turned out to be great, because it used the best elements of the TV show. Borat was a mockumentary, but shockingly it’s really hard to distinguish the scripted scenes from the unscripted ones (recently the Borat Kazakh hymn was even mistaken for the real one at a medal ceremony in Kuwait). The best thing about Borat’s encounters with western civilization is the character’s ability to quickly bring out the worst prejudices of his hosts. When people meet the Kazakh journalist, they are often first taken aback by his antiquated, often racist or sexist views regarding nearly everything – only to end up sharing his opinion minutes later.
