Borat: The Memo
I've been meaning to post a link to this for some time. It's written by one of my favorite writers, George Saunders, for the New Yorker. Saunders writes the piece as though he's an exec producer of Borat, discussing what "extras" should be added for the DVD release. Essentially, he's making the argument that the movie takes cheap shots at easy targets (e.g. "rednecks"), failing to show a fuller picture of the complexities of the people behind the sterotypes. Though I read this several weeks ago (thanks to Steph for recommending it), it's been stuck in my head. I'm very interested to see what other folks think of it.
