Document Summary
Target: american society: challenging the veneer of manners, do you have any morals under your manners or is it just masking up your sexism, homophobia, etc. Ex; the rodeo - they cheered about killing everyone in iraq but they booed once borat sang their national athem wrong: people tend to be very polite to him, correcting him on his manners. He was very polite, but actually told him how to shoot a jewish person. Technique: vitriolic - humans are flawed and probably can"t change, persona. He"s very homophobic but during the nude fight scene, it was very: unmasking homoeretic. He opens that door to see if the person will walk through the frat boys are the best example of this because their veneer dropped the moment they didn"t think anyone important was watching: hyperbole. Exaggerating those stereotypes to show how foolish they are. We don"t use that as currency - no country in the world uses public hair they"re ignorant.
