Is Polat real or fake?

Polat's identity is virtual, but Polat's interview all the way is true:

Polat is not the first fictional character created by a film starring Sasha byron cohen. The last fictional character he created was Ali G in the comedy Ali G Ying Da House in 2002. Like Polat at this time, he is also a minority. When he first came to an international metropolis, his behavior was even more outrageous, but it caused a sensation at that time. This film is Polat Sagyevi's first appearance in public view. It will record the real interview process of Polat as a successful person who led the film crew from his hometown to the United States in the form of documentary. If you open the movie official website, you will find that it is full of propaganda about Kazakhstan, including domestic information and diplomacy in Kazakhstan.

Activity reports, even the weather forecast in Kazakhstan. The photo of Polat and Kazakh leaders was put in the most conspicuous position. The introduction of the film must click on another link. It is obvious that Cohen wants everyone to believe that Polat is a real person, and all the scenes in the play are real. Regardless of the actual film effect, at least Cohen's dedication and devotion are impressive. , text

From small screen to big screen.

From the lines in Polat, we can see that Polat has ulterior motives in this cultural investigation, such as calling USA US and A, and saying singular nouns with American characteristics into plural ones. The true identity of the Kazakhs wearing rustic suits and waving American flags and smirking in the poster is Shacha Ba Long Cohen, a famous British talk show host. Although all the people in and out of the play are of the same age, Cohen's attitude towards culture is not as naive as Polat's. He often appears as a fighter in various human rights movements. He often used sensitive topics such as racial discrimination and gender discrimination in interviews with HBO's ace TV program "Big Ali G"-plus Cohen's outspoken meanness-which once became a controversial topic program. Because of Cohen's personality-or "courage"-and his imaginative sense of humor, he and his programs are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and a "big Ali G" phenomenon has been set off from Britain to the world. Because of this program, he not only won two BAFTA awards, but also the Queen of England is his loyal fan. The two words he created in the program were also included in the Oxford Dictionary. What is more exaggerated is that the new policy promulgated by Prime Minister Blair is named after his program.

This well-loved TV host has been longing for the big screen for a long time, and occasionally crossing the line has really shown his film talent. I met Will Falar at a heavyweight comedy night in Talladega this spring, and he also sang for the King of Lemurs in Madagascar. Cohen devoted himself to this film. He is both a leading actor and a producer. He recruited fellow comedians such as Larry Charles, the producer and director of Meet My Father-in-law, and promoted his new work in the image of Polat in his own program. This comedy, which hangs on cultural exchanges and spoofs American cultural and political issues, just appeared on the website "Rotten Tomatoes" and gave a rare high score to similar films.

As a director, Larry Charles is certainly one of the quality assurance of film comedy. He was once famous for the sitcom Seinfeld, and he has a keen sense of social phenomena, which can be transformed into absurd forms through genius. In Polat, it is Cohen's alternative performance that closely cooperates with him. His natural sense of humor with stage effect is a sharp weapon to guide him in shaping Polat. What surprised Charles even more was Cohen's enthusiasm for this role. No matter what the occasion, he appears as Polat and himself at the same time. With the same expression and action as the ideal Polat, everyone feels that this image is extremely vivid and natural because of Cohen.

Cultural guerrillas in the United States

In addition to Cohen's participation in the film, the whole process of film creation and shooting proves that they are closely related to the absurd spirit of low cost. First of all, Polat didn't have a real script until the end of shooting. Peter Baynham, Anthony Hines and Dan Mazer who were invited to write the script only provided an outline as required. The creator expects the film to be an experiment that reflects the mutual penetration of entertainment scenes and reality, and the real characters and stories appearing in the lens will promote the development of the plot at any time.

Only eight people from the dream team conducted this experiment, plus a pickup truck loaded with equipment, embarked on Polat's journey across American culture. Compared with the embarrassing incident along the way in Polat, this guerrilla-style crew caused trouble that should not be caused: just after arriving in Cohen, new york, he received an arrest warrant (the local police ordered him not to enter the country), and he just took a group of shots in a hotel and ran away; Another chase happened when the ice cream truck filmed the scene of cross-border travel. Of course, as a result, he ran away again. The two deputy directors of the crew are not fuel-efficient: because the crew took a mobile phone, an alarm clock and a wool scarf when shooting in the hotel-although they made an agreement with the hotel and bought 5 million lost and found insurance-they were still arrested by the police; In order to prevent other colleagues from being involved in this case, the hero Dale Stern ate the employee contact form during the trial. In prison, they first realized the greatness of devoting themselves to art.

Unfortunately, this spirit cannot avoid repeated harassment by government minions. According to local residents' reports, these eight people acted secretly under the banner of filming a documentary. The FBI listed them as terrorist suspects and interrogated them outside the White House. Because Kazakhs deliberately changed the tune to the stars and stripes when singing the national anthem, it caused public outrage. Conquered by agents and the public, Cohen showed the highest level of the film: in the face of the police and the FBI, he still called himself Polat, making these episodes, which were originally highlights outside the play, a wonderful part of the film.
