Rob Lowe: 我认为拉里·查尔斯是一位非常有才华的喜剧家，尤其是在《波拉特》这部电影中，他创造了许多令人难忘的喜剧时刻。我非常荣幸能邀请他上我的节目，听他分享他的创作经验和喜剧理念。 Larry Charles: 我非常感谢 Rob Lowe 对我的赞赏，我也很欣赏他的事业。能参加他的节目，我感到非常荣幸。关于《波拉特》，这部电影的成功离不开萨莎·拜伦·科恩的天赋和即兴表演。我们在拍摄前会以一种欺骗的方式获得拍摄对象的同意，因为他们不知道波拉特是谁。人们都爱慕虚荣，很容易被奉承，所以我们利用这一点让他们同意拍摄。在拍摄过程中，我们也会遇到很多意想不到的情况，比如马在竞技表演中摔倒，这些意外的惊喜也为电影增添了色彩。总的来说，《波拉特》是一部无法被简单归类的电影，它超越了传统喜剧的范畴。

Chapters
Larry Charles, the director of Borat, shares insights into the film's creation, including the balance of improvisation and scripting, handling participant releases, and the unique comedic approach that made the film so successful. He also discusses the differences between Borat and Bruno, and the audience's reactions to each.
  • The success of Borat is partially attributed to the ego and vanity of the people involved.
  • A significant portion of Borat was improvised based on the reactions of the individuals being filmed.
  • The film's success was partly due to Borat's perceived innocence, which contrasted with his offensive actions.
