Who knows. They said that other than the crew, only Pamela Anderson knew what was going to happen.

Yes thats why he got sued because when it came out on film people were ashamed to show their true colors. Some stuff may be staged but most of it is not. The Pam Anderson thing had to be staged.
Re: Did anyone else see that movie Borat???
If was stage or not it was hilarious... I loved that movie....
Re: Did anyone else see that movie Borat???
Dumbest movie I've ever seen. I didn't laugh much in it, my brother laughed his behind off and asked if I thought our parents would think it was funny - uh - NO! LOL

I'm sure some of it was staged, like the part with Pam Anderson at the end, but a great majority of the movie was him interacting with real people as IF he was filming a documentary for his country as Borat.
In fact, he's being sued by some of those people, because they were mis-led in what they were being filmed for. In this article http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2006520803,00.html
It names those who have sued or plan on suing, including: The Frat boys in the mobile home, one of the people in Borat's "hometown" (which was an actual Villiage in Romania), the TV Producer from the news program where Borat was being "interviewed" and he interrupted the weather man lost her job after the event so she's suing, The Rodeo manager (who made some pretty racist comments), The driving instructor, the car salesman, and the owner of the bed and breakfast....
They had no idea that this "documentary" for a small country was really a movie that was going to be released in the US, for all their own countrymen to see. I think knowing that they're real people he's interacting with really make one take a different perspective on what happened.
Re: Did anyone else see that movie Borat???
I've also heard the prostatute that he "falls in love with" also knew.
I thought it was funny, but my wife didn't like it at much. She said that people made it sound super funny and it just wasn't THAT funny to her.
I agree kim, I was appauled at how racist some of the people were being, and I think they're just mad because they got caught being that way, on film :-p
Re: Did anyone else see that movie Borat???
It was definitely real. I thought it was an absolutely brilliant commentary, and I can see why some folks are upset...they revealed their ignorance and prejudice in some pretty apalling ways. From what I heard, the people who appeared in it signed an exhaustively comprehensive release form before they were filmed, so I doubt the lawsuits will go anywhere. I had not heard that the Pamela Anderson thing was staged, but I'm not surprised...it explains why he was able to get away with it.
I loved it, every minute. My bf watched it, said he hated it, but laughed uproariously quite frequently. :-P
