The dance scene is phenomenal 
I hope so to. They are convincing though.
I reckon he was real, knew he was in a Borat film, but didn't know what Cohen was going to say. The babysitter was an actress.
The synagogue scenes wasn't using actors. The main woman in the scene is Judith Dim Evan's who really did survive the holocaust and recently died.

It's on the P2P download sites now as well if you search about.
She is class. Her daughter is suing Amazon and wants the scene removed because her mother was told she was there to be interviewed about her experience of the holocaust. For her to react the way she did when Cohen walks in is even more remarkable.
What a decent, patient and kindly woman, in that case.
Had no idea. To mislead her so badly about the premise of why she was there, to dredge up those kind of memories, only to have someone come in the room essentially dressed as how Jewish people were depicted in Nazi propaganda is vile.
I appreciate the point Cohen is trying to make but f***ing hell, there's ways and means of treating people.

Watched the rest of it this morning, thought it was much better than when I’d switched it off.
I think Cohen knew of her and knew how she would react and so used the scene to show all the antisemites that even after everything she had lived through and then be confronted with him dressed like that for her to show the kindness she did puts those haters to shame. At the end of the credits her picture is shown in memory.

This, a little bit of wee come out I laughed so muchThe dance scene is phenomenal
Reflects exceptionally well on her and the strength of her character. I can understand the intention behind the whole scene. Still a little uneasy with the whole set up. Suppose making people uneasy will have been what he was going for there.
He’s 74 and thinks she’s a young, eager journalist alone in a hotel room. He was supposedly there to support a presidential Re-election campaign...not long after the #MeToo movement. He should’ve had far more sense than than to head into the hotel bedroom for another ‘drink’.
She’s a WAD, like, obviously.

She’d have been in on it.
Even “raw” scenes in serious documentaries have been set up, filmed selectively, edited and given a context before viewers clap eyes on it.
No way they’d risk her getting upset then dropping dead of a heart attack for the sake of a cheap visual gag.

I thought it was pretty good for the most part.
Not as consistently funny as the original, few films are, but still contained moments of comic genius.
Apparently Cohen dropped character to explain what he was doing to her, something he rarely does.
Her family are apparently still suing him over the scene however!

Thought it was shite. The ladies in the synagogue scene were lovely and I felt so sorry for them.
