Borat in Romania
The film
Borat: Cultural learnings for make benefit glorious nation of Kazakhstan
was partially filmed in Romania. All of the scenes where he is supposed to be in Kazakhstan are actually filmed right here. The characters in the villiage are not characters at all, but very poor people who were offered cash, and more excitement than the town has ever seen to play along with the antics of actor Sacha Coehn. It's sad but true, there are still places in Romania like the one seen in the film. Equally sad is the fact that people are willing to put a pricetag on their dignity whilest the whole world laughs at their predicament.
I'm sure the film is hillarious. The trailers I've seen ensure your stomach will be sore from laughter, so the film is probably a riot. But it does raise questions of Romainia's readiness to join the ranks of the so called "developed" nations of Europe in January 2007. I'm sure that many Romaians are looking at this trailer and asking themselves "Is this really happening in my country?"

Many Romanian towns have native people living an old lifestlye, and refuse help from government and others, but choose the lifestyle they live.
You obviously don't know a thing about my country and should be scilent when you talk about things you do not know about.
We Joined European Union because were one of the Richest European Nations, possibly not in Credit, or Money, but in enviorment like the Danube the most famous water in Europe, the Black Sea, a sea filled with oil owned by the Romania, and one of the highest education rates in the world.
Every school past high, has a unbelevable engeneering organisation inside of their program, and a great overall school sytem.
Romania is excelling at all aspects and is one of the fasting growing countries in the world not by population but by drastic improvment after the ceausescu era.
Next time you speak about our country in valgur ways as you have, think about how you're country has their many poor people.
These people were given money to have him stay in their house, and film their lifestlye, an obvious communication problem with people who speak Romanian, and a jew who speaks English.
Romanians are loving and welcome into their home, and give all the food they have to their visitors to keep them satisfied and if this asshole is stupid enough to take what they have then i feel sorry for him.
This is a insensitive man who is making millions over some discreet film witch is outragiously degrating to all cultures and should be put away or put down like a dog.
His culture suffered many many generations of harm and is willing to backlash at every other culture in the world about his on insecurities.
This man is rude, and has been protected in being sued for what reason? is a criminal, he is a flat out criminal who deserves to rest in a cell for the remander of his life.
America and Britian are teaching the world that it is alright to insult and degrate other cultures witch in their political stance they tell all they are willing to help...
Anyways i hope you all join the protest against this guy, and recognise that he is brutal, and rediculious, and if i ever see this guy, im going to be beating the living hell out of him!!
This movie is only funny if you're a 14 year old boy. Otherwise, it's juvenile.
Hey Andrew.... I can see you left this comment at 3 AM , probably in the basement of your mother's house with your Star Wars Wookie doll on your computer desk.
I'm sure your views are based solely on your ignorance and lack of social life.
How can you take a scene from a movie and state your opposision to a movement for Romania's joining the European Union.
Get your head out of your ass, you ignorant geek and open your mind
As to Andrew's comment... What is truly sad is that people like you who never been to Romania take a segment out of a fictional comedy and judge an entire nation based on a small village. If that was true then shouldn't our great nation be judged by some redneck hiilbilly village in West Virginia where marrying your sister is as common as illiteracy?
As an American with Romanian heritage I find your comments as ignorant as your views of Romania. Most of us are very educated and truly much more intelligent than you.
It was hilarious, including the portions shot in Romania. Ya gotta see it.
Although my grandmother apparently didn't appreciate the naked men... oh, I won't spoil it for you with any more details.
"Many Romanian towns have native people living an old lifestlye, and refuse help from government and others, but choose the lifestyle they live."
HaHa... You are funny... You are like the romanian government! You are trying to hide the reality for outsiders! What kind of help you are talking about?
The average wages here are smaller than in some asian countries but the prices are higher than in western countries! And Romania is the country with less bathrooms/family in European Union. And the most important issue for people with a little money is to buy a luxury car while they are living in powerty. Yes!!! I can see that every day! People with small salaries trying to show a fake image about themself. This is the real Romania!
