⁍ ‘Borat Subsequent Moviefilm: Delivery of Prodigious Bribe to American Regime for Make Benefit Once Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan’ was released on Amazon Prime last week.
⁍ Like the first film, the movie has Borat on the rampage in the United States.
⁍ Kazakh authorities discouraged its screening and threatened legal action over what they saw as an insult to their national character.
– Kazakhstan is trying to capitalize on the success of Sacha Baron Cohen’s latest Borat movie by using Borat’s catch phrase—”Very Nice!”—to promote tourism. “It was something I’d been thinking about for years as everyone who comes here is aware of the Borat thing being attached to the country’s brand,” a US citizen living in Kazakhstan tells Reuters. “It’s actually the perfect description of the country in the most sincere way. The people and the food are very nice.” A tourism official says he hopes the campaign will help people see that Borat’s jokes about the country were off target when the situation improved. “We would like everyone to come experience Kazakhstan for themselves by visiting our country in 2021 and beyond, so that they can see that Borat’s homeland is nicer than they may have heard,” he says.
