Borat 2

[verb_to_trust]

i feel bad for azamat

He got paid $62,000 to wrestle naked with Borat on camera. Not sure I would do that. Even if it led to a career of bit parts in b-movies.

I think Sacha got the worst of that scene though. If I remember right Azamaht had his ass to mouth. He was primarily receiving.

How much of this stuff is real and how much is staged? That scene at the debutant ball, that had to be fake, right?

[VinylGuy]

That scene is real. Some of the guys there talked about it. Super weird.

Debutante ball seemed very real, you can't fake shit like the disgust on that one girl's face when her dad was talking.

Yeah I thought that was real. I maintain that the entire sequence where he's waiting out the pandemic seems fake. Apparently the babysitter was real, though--I was sure she was in on it.

Everyone at the debutante ball was hired, but not knowing who Borat was, was the most important thing in being hired.

I know he wasn’t Borat in that scene. But I’m sure both of us would have recognised him straight away.

Borat introduces Tutar — under the surnames Phillip Drummond III and Sandra Jessica Parker Drummond — at a debutante ball in Macon, Georgia. Monroe County Reporter publisher Will Davis, who attended the ball with his 18-year-old daughter, recounted the experience in his newspaper. He says the staged event was filmed under the guise that it was for a fictional movie about Southern belles making their debut. Guests, who were paid $100 to show up, were tested on their pop culture knowledge beforehand. Those unfamiliar with Baron Cohen were invited to watch Borat and Tutar’s touching, yet graphic, father-daughter dance that ends with Tutar’s “moon blood” on full display.

“They began dancing side by side in synch when suddenly the “daughter” lifted her hoop skirt, gyrating and revealing no underwear,” Davis wrote. “That’s when all of us who were sober marched to the checkout desk, demanded our phones back and hit the road. My precious daughter and I walked out into the cool Macon night with mouths agape wondering what had just happened.”

Oh sure they pretty much paid everyone in the movie. I looked at the word hired as an actor.

Who writes like this?

[Mickey]

Oh sure they pretty much paid everyone in the movie. I looked at the word hired as an actor.

Yeah I don't think that's quite the same thing--they obviously paid almost everyone who appeared, it's more a matter of to what extent they were in on the joke and playing along.

exactly.

[Anders]

If they set up the whole thing, asked them questions to eliminate candidates, and agreed payment in advance, then it’s not ‘real’ but set up. But yes, in most cases, they are not actors who are in on the jokes.

[Mickey]

I just don't see how that makes the reactions set-up, even if you're gaming your participant pool a bit. It eliminates people being like HI BORAT, LET ME MAKE SEXY TIME YOUR DAUGHTER, but that dad's response was unscripted and presumably real.

[VinylGuy]

and his daughter response! it was super real. Priceless.

[Orpheus]

I'm all aboard the Maria Bakalova for the Oscar train.

[Bammer]

Just watched this tonight and OMG the debutantes ball ... I almost died. Amazing.
