Borat returns with the best motion of censure to the worst possible year

• Controversy.Rudy Giuliani, Donald Trump's lawyer, questioned by an inappropriate hidden camera scene in 'Borat'

Everything is real.

Going into a hardware store and asking for

without any employee showing surprise, indignation or understanding that it is perhaps just a joke;

ask a stylist for the best make-up tone when living with a racist family and see how the professional in the image points out without hesitation which one in her opinion is the correct color (pure white);

explain at a convention of Republican women that

and get a strange round of applause (not so much for the news itself as for the stupor caused by the loud sound of the word "vagina");

spend the last lockdown with two individuals so convinced that the Clintons incorporate

such as "the patriotic obligation" to vote for those who do not, or ask a clerk in a pastry shop to write carefully on a chocolate cake the phrase

and see how, in effect, it does.

Everything, we said, is real.

No, it is not about moments lost in the motion of censure these days, but about some of the moments that are necessarily disconcerting (there are worse, believe me) of the return of

to the character that best defines the cataclysm we are experiencing.

When we see the almighty Rudy Giulaini harassing the protagonist in the role of reporter, with semi-removed pants and without a script (he is as is and real), then yes ... for himself who can.

The full title of all this: '

The film that premieres on

does nothing more than recover the most irreverent, conflictive and even alarming creation of British actor Sacha Baron Cohen.

It was 14 years ago that the Kazakh reporter Borat had his first contact with the United States.

At the time, the president's name was George W. Bush and our man, an actor in a perfect and surprisingly real world, limited himself to offering himself in sacrifice.

(or both together) were experienced by the naive viewer not so much with the astonishment of the excessive as with the complicity of the banal.

Reality was beginning to look too much and more and more faithful to any supposed embezzlement or parody that a guy with a necessarily sick imagination might make of it.

Well, time has passed and once again it is clear that everything that is likely to get worse ends up doing it.

If Borat was then a memorable occurrence that functioned as a contrast test against reality, now he is simply a bad imitator of that very reality.

And hence his overwhelming genius.

Rescued from the '

' where he ended up, now the journalist is sent by his government with the mission of delivering as a gift first to

and then to Rudy Giuliani from before a monkey .

Everything is to put the imaginary real country of the title in a privileged geostrategic position.

Due to management problems, the monkey will later be replaced by the teenage daughter.

What else will it give.

The mechanism is the same again: between the mockumentary and the less refined technique of the hidden camera,

.

And without the mediation of the tribune of a motion of censure.

The novelty, yes, is the responsibility of the actress

, who, rather than simply following the rhythm, doubles it.

To say that his role borders on genius is hardly saying anything.

She simply offers herself submissive to a terribly macho universe.

If Borat's simplicity was the best excuse for issues such as racism, xenophobia, classism, brother-in-law or homophobia to be seen, now it is Bakalova's naivety that adds another notch to the 'hit parade' of the so-called culture war:

Her visit to a cosmetic surgery clinic or the elegant debutante ball in which she

not only hilarious but also painful.

For its clairvoyance and reality.

Not to mention, the conversation something more than surreal and irreproducible with an anti-abortion doctor.

And all this without ever losing sight that everything, absolutely everything, is real.

The strategy is not new.

After all, Borat doesn't do anything the classics haven't done before.

In Kafka's Prague, Jaroslav Hasek wrote the not exactly gloomy reverse of

in the early 1920s

'

' could have been the book that the author of '

would have written had he eaten and drank more.

And better.

The resource is the same: to portray the profound anomaly of a man alone in front of the huge, polyglot and absurd Austro-Hungarian bureaucratic machinery from the deepest estrangement.

And, incidentally, leaving modern man naked.

Svejk is not, suddenly and in the morning, an insect.

Svejk is a simple

.

Although the last quotation mark can be misleading.

The stubbornness of the dog seller (that was) in stupidity is such that, at times, one would say the most intelligent of living beings.

And even dead.

Well Borat the same.

Baron Cohen made headlines as he shot as he was discovered at

Suddenly, he becomes aware that fame (his and that of anyone with success on social networks) has become one more exchange value.

And as such he appears in the film where Borat is asked for autographs on the street and people approach him to offer to be ridiculed.

Everything is for those seconds of glory on the screen.

Of course, in this game of mirrors between portrayed and parodied reality,

And, as is the rigor, he also ends up becoming the protagonist of this deep dump in which

of natural resources put us in front of the greatest of abysses .

And we laughed.

Heartily.

For the end is the

affair

.

And yes, we said, all is lost.

Bakalova has come to realize that, unlike in her country, women can do everything in the Western world:

.

And that is why he arrives in a car with fake boobs to the interview with the former mayor of New York and now he is convinced 'Trump'.

What follows is already part of the campaign for the current presidency.

And it's embarrassing.

By real.

I said, the most brilliant motion of censure, this one, to what we are living.
