Document Summary
Eastern what makes it different from the west: borat clip. Seen as less-developed, stereotyped, morally dubious, stuck in their ways/time (while rest of the world has moved on), strange values, endemic/baked in hate. Interesting: filmed in roma village in romania, staged based on stereotypes: early travel letters portrayed strange things in these countries compared to their audience"s home says cities there were once great but are now falling apart/melancholy decay. Sees from people that look primitive and some dressed attractively like in the west. Points out exotic looks and also primitive attire: effect of war is striking to her, she"s determined to be positive about these people/place (exciting, colorful people, etc. ) Both the positive above and negative stereotypes of borat have created an interesting dialogue about eastern europe. The european union: created after wwii, outlines where eastern edge is kind of.
