Sacha Baron Cohen is an infamous British comedian, the creator of a number of fictional characters, each of whom has been featured in a feature film. All these films are comedies on the verge of foul, which are regularly banned in a number of conservative states.
Sasha Baron Cohen's most popular character is rapper Ali G, a cockney from the East End suburbs, about whom the film "Ali G in Parliament" was filmed. As MC, Cohen also voiced the lemur from Madagascar. Ali Gee is not only a rapper, but also a journalist, as well as a presenter of a television program for teenagers, in which he conducts interviews on acute social topics with prominent public figures in Great Britain. Ali Ji dresses like a jungle player, a representative of the music and image subculture that emerged in the 90s on the wave of the drum and bass hobby.
Another fictional character and also a journalist is Borat Sagdiev. Borat is a journalist from Kazakhstan, racist, sexist and homophobic. A pseudo-documentary film "Borat: Cultural Studies of America for the Benefit of the Glorious State of Kazakhstan" was shot about him. Interestingly, this character appeared in an episode of the film about Ali Ji. In the story, Borat travels across the United States and communicates with various people in order to create a documentary film. In the US, he watches an episode of the series "Rescuers Malibu", falls in love with Pamela Andersen and decides to marry her.
After "Borat" came the film "Bruno" about an Austrian homosexual and a leading fashion show. TV presenter Bruno is fired from work, and he, along with his assistant and boyfriend Lutz, sets out to conquer America. During the course of the film, he tries all kinds of ways to become famous and eventually decides that he needs to be straight. However, he does not succeed …
Finally, the last film with Cohen was released in the spring of 2012 - this is, as always, the scandalous comedy "Announcer". In a press release, the picture was presented as "the heroic story of a North African dictator risking his life so that democracy never comes to his so lovingly oppressed country." The protagonist is Admiral-General Haffaz-Aladin, the ruler-dictator of Wadi, a country in northern Africa, rich in oil, who travels to the United States for a UN meeting. The film was banned from showing in Belarus, Tajikistan, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan and a number of other countries.
All films, except for Ali G in Parliament, were directed by Larry Charles, and the comedy about Ali G was directed by Mark Maypod.
