Borat is a masterpiece!

Just saw that and far beyond the laughs what a brilliant dissection of the worlds issues.

The blindness prejudice against "The Poor" versus the juggernaut of narrow mindedness regarding the "American Dream".

Actually Borat shows brilliantly abd hilariously what a ridiculous lie the American Dream is, and shows what a ridiculous lie the fear of poverty is.

The people from the "poor world" are led astray by the American Dream of a "Better" life.
The American's are led astray by the American Dream thinking they have a "Better" life.

Selectively edited, planned and staged it might be, but the message of poverty in both Kazakstan and American is rather poignant I thought.

Life is simple and harsh, it aint a Hollywood movie and it was never gonna be - unless you like eating plastic celluloid food and talking to images on a wall.

The image we all want is so unrealistic like Pamela Anderson, but we are all so fooled and blind to see the poverty of that image.

In the end don't we want to return to quirky Kazakstan than live in the soup of blatant illusion in America.
