Borat

Even if a part of me is somewhat embarrassed, I can't help looking forward to this movie with a good deal of enthusiasm: Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan, scheduled for release in November.

Besides being very funny (to some of us), the exchanges in the movie is a good example of Spiral Dynamics orange (scientific, rational, early world-centric) or higher making fun of blue (traditionalist, ethnocentric) or lower, while also exposing the prejudices we are all holding onto in various ways.

When I see the prejudices exposed by people in the movie, I see a mirror of my own - as they happen right now. I relate to these racist and homophobiacs as they relate to people of other ethnicities and sexual orientations. In how I see them relate to others, I see how I relate to them.

Here is the second trailer.
