The Dictator Trailer
Am I the only one that is over the whole, sexist, racist, bigoted, flat out offensive Sacha Baron Cohen movies? I'll admit that he was hilarious in Borat, because he was interacting with real people who had no idea what the hell was going on. Bruno was a more disgusting over the top version of Borat, but this film was not even funny. Now, I'm not easily offended, so that isn't the problem here. My issue is that the dialogue just sounds stupid, and targets people to offend that often can't defend themselves, which I am not okay with. I think the idea of a Middle Eastern dictator coming to the United States, especially New York has the potential to be hilarious, providing that you are willing to laugh at the ridiculousness of popular culture. However, the jokes and insults were so overly scripted that they did not seem natural, and even in a film like this, which is so irrational and would NEVER happen, I still like to have some sort of component of reality, and with dialogue like that, I just couldn't get passed it. I'm sure he'll make another crude, offensive movie sometime soon, and I hope that one is more like Borat and less like Bruno.
