Borat Subsequent Moviefilm

The ending of Borat Subsequent Moviefilm delivers a shocking twist that redefines the entire story. It reveals that Kazakhstan was the true mastermind behind the coronavirus pandemic, having created the virus as a form of revenge after Borat’s previous film humiliated the country. Throughout the film, there are visual hints, such as posters indicating that Kazakhstan’s plan was to use Borat as a unwitting carrier to spread the virus worldwide. This explains why Borat’s mission to bribe political figures was actually a cover for spreading COVID-19—he was unknowingly part of Kazakhstan’s biological warfare plot. The film humorously links Borat’s travels from Kazakhstan to the early hotspots of the pandemic, emphasizing that his global journey coincided with the virus’s rapid spread.

The climax short-circuits expectations by showing Borat realizing he has been used as a super-spreader, with scenes where he coughs on Tom Hanks and spreads the virus while lollygagging in quarantine. The film mocks conspiracy theories about COVID-19 being intentionally created, instead suggesting a far-fetched but satirical origin story: the virus was engineered in Kazakhstan, with Borat unwittingly carrying it around the world. This culminates in a critique of misinformation and the mishandling of the pandemic, highlighting how some American figures, like Rudy Giuliani, are implicated in these absurd conspiracies.

In its final moments, the film makes a pointed political statement. It ends with the message “now vote, or you will be executed,” strongly implying that the film advocates voting against Donald Trump and his administration, which the film depicts as negligent, corrupt, or malicious in their response to COVID-19. The scenes featuring the so-called “Running of the Americans” satirize America’s chaotic handling of the pandemic and its rejection of science, especially through the parody of the U.S. attacking Dr. Fauci. Overall, the ending solidifies Borat’s satire as a critique of global conspiracy theories, political incompetence, and the importance of voting, delivered with a biting sense of humor that leaves viewers reflecting on the state of the world.
