The film’s brilliance lies in its "guerrilla" style of filmmaking. By placing a fictional, offensive character into real-life situations, Baron Cohen held up a mirror to American society. The humor didn't come from Borat himself, but from the genuine, often prejudiced reactions of the people he encountered. This blurred the line between reality and fiction so effectively that it became one of the first truly "viral" pieces of cinema, spreading through clips on a young YouTube and peer-to-peer file-sharing networks.
