Movie: BORAT

I enjoyed this movie but it was too shock to me even I came from different country. Borat is a reporter from Kazakhstan, but he had hard time to understood Americans. But he tried to make them in his culture, didn’t try to fit in American culture. In my case, I needed to fit in this American culture. I thought he was same situation, he wasn’t. And It gave us some information about Kazakhstan, such as where it is, they afraid about Jewish. I thought that might be there we some people who afraid about Jewish, but it showed whole country afraid about Jewish. It was another shock to me.
In conclusion, there could be lots of cultural differences, and it could give me culture shock, we should protect ourselves and we need to adapt from American culture.
