the dictator a rare comedy hit

I enjoyed this film and it is a recommended flick. The film was funny all the way through. a well thought out movie in every direction and as renewed respect for cohen despite his insult of christianity in one of his films. he decided not to fill the film with filth and slap stick that required little skill and talent that which we witnessed in bruno. It instead had witty moments throughout. There were classical ques throughout the film. the torture seen when cohen character the dictator gets kidnapped and the torturer is discouraged by his outdated torture instrument set that the dictator is obviously acquainted with. The sleek innuendo of the dialogue between the dictator and the the nuclear tests specialist is hilarious, The dictator showing disgust that the rocket was not pointy like in the donald duck cartoons. A great contrast in the film was that the dictator had a human side, despite paying well to do actresses gold in exchange for sexual favors he still wanted to cuddle. this form of comedy reminds me of the contrast presented in austin powers character that worked incredibly well when the most evil man in the world who wanted to conquerer the world had a sinister loving side and like everyone else had a difficult teenager to deal with while he attempted to become the all that, modern, up to date father. the austin powers films can be watched over and over again like a song. this is what makes a great film is its digestibility and timelessness. His banishment in a alternative hippie environmental conscious eco sort of store provided more anecdotes and contrasts and fertile comedy ground. The best one is when the dictator became angry with the sales manager who thought him to be an activist like herself, brought him under her wing. comical relief and interchange of characters blended well with blatant anti woman anecdotes were met by anna faris with an interpretation of unusual humour and tolerance characterised by her hippie pro environmental activist background. black humour played well with the dictator saying," a woman in education is like a monkey on roller skates, it means nothing to them, but it means so much to us. a little battle of the sexes nab is always an igniting and fun point. it also reinforces and moderates trends for cowardice political correctness to clout society and is always commended by screen writers as long as it is not immoral and too dirty having no witty or coherent element. the film becomes a little counter culture when the dictator admonishes the crowd that america should have a dictatorship too as you can bail out your bankers, trick your people to support the war for the media, undertake illegal torture activity etc. enough said!! Another quirk is when the dictator keeps talking about her, replicating a everyday taboo and no brainer creates a huge comic cresendo given the contrast with his character. a austin powers interplay. the dictator says when he got angry with zoey and wanted to cut her head off[anna faris] he suddenly felt refrained from doing it. this was a sign of his love. hilarious. another anecdote that is witty when during his speech, his turns his hatred filled talk to one of love of democracy while starring at the love of his life. 3.5/5
