In May 2012, the sensational comedy Dictator, directed by Larry Charles, was released. The British writer, Sasha Baron Cohen, known for the films “Borat”, “Ali G in Parliament”, etc., became the screenwriter, producer, and also the leading actor.
The film "Dictator" and critics, and the audience attributed to the category of political trolling. The painting by Larry Charles shows the collective image of the great dictator who plays democracy, oppressing people in his country. His name is Admiral General Aladin. According to the plot, it turns out that for several decades he has been ruling a certain North African state of Wadia, which in reality does not exist.
In the image of a dictator, everything is absurd, from the heaps of titles invented by him personally for himself to armfuls of medals and medals with which he awarded himself. Every day he comes up with stupid laws that defy the logical explanation of any sane person. As a result, the viewer receives a film product shot in the current today genre of caustic, sometimes tough political satire.
Admiral-General Aladin is sent to the United States with the goal of delivering his speech to the United Nations, however, before that, he loses his most important trump card - his beard, without which he, in fact, is not a great supreme ruler, but a simple tourist of Arab appearance. Unusual ambitions, selfishness and all the same inexorable impudence give him unusualness. At the risk of his life, he will have to return his "good" name.
The creators of the "Dictator" worked hard to season the idea of ridiculing the infantility of the head of an abstract state with vulgar peppercorns. The film seems to scream that everything will be turned inside out and put up for public review. Moreover, not only politicians will get it, but also show business, and Hollywood actors, men and women, regardless of skin color, race or religion. This is the idea of the authors - using jokes (often vulgar), sarcasm, satire and vulgarity to show reality, which, like the film itself, makes you cry and laugh.
"Dictator" has been banned from showing in many countries around the world.
