Sacha Baron Cohen's films are often criticized.
A Holocaust survivor has even filed a lawsuit against "Borat 2" - and a court has already responded.
Those who love comedy films usually only watch certain productions.
Not all comedy is the same because the humor is different in every film.
The works of
Sacha Baron Cohen
, for example, do not say at all.
Often they are very controversial, black-humored and at the same time have a certain potential for foreign shame.
This also applies to
“Borat 2”
or
“Borat connection movie film”
, which appeared on Amazon Prime Video * on October 23, 2020.
Shortly after publication, the first lawsuit by a Holocaust survivor who appears in the film came in.
She accuses
Sacha Baron Cohen
of failing to inform her that she is part of a satirical production.
At the same time she sees
“Borat 2”
as an attempt to make fun of the Holocaust and Jewish culture.

Lawsuits and police visits are
nothing new
to
Sacha Baron Cohen
.
As reported by Screen Rant magazine, the actor is said to have revealed that
the police were called over ninety
times during the shooting of the first "Borat" film

After the comedy was released, there were more lawsuits.
The team Baron Cohen works with is therefore aware of such consequences.
Accordingly, they often succeed in counteracting legal action.
This also happened in the case of
Judith Dim Evans
.
She appeared in the new "Borat" movie and then filed a lawsuit.
According to the Deadline magazine, however, the courts have rejected her application.
Attorney Russell Smith, who represents Amazon, pointed out in relation to the lawsuit that Baron Cohen had
no intention of
making
fun of the Holocaust
.
On the contrary: his film is an attempt to show viewers to
what extent the terrible events of the past are still being denied
.
Judith Dim Evans, on the other hand, was told that it was satire, according to the deadline after the recordings.
