Sacha Baron Cohen
You don’t have a clue who the hell I’m speaking about? :) For those who have never heard of this famous British comedian I say two names Ali G and Borat Sagdiyev. He’s known for making up characters, that are very controversal and who illustrate the problems of the world, and actim with them as they were real persons.
I’ve recently found some very interresting things about Sacha Cohen. Despite of the fact, that his character – Borat – is anti-semitic and he made up things like “running the Jew”, is Sacha Cohen a Jew himself. He also keeps Sabbath (which means that he doesn’t work from Friday evening to Saturday evening) if possible and eat kosher.
Many people concern his latest work, the Borat character, just too controversal. Maybe he is, but we must admit, that on the idea of Borat he shows the raising indifferency to anti-semitism. For example, whe he came into the gun store and asks for a gun, good for hunting Jews, the salesman replies, that 9mm would do the job well. The anti-semitism is not the biggest problem in this case, the ignorance is! And that is what’s Sacha Cohen trying to show.
What’s your oppinion on him? Have you already seen Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan?
