In semiotics, hyper-reality is a state in which the unreal, usually a simulation of reality, is indistinguishable from the real - and in the case of Borat - fiction from non-fiction. Starring Sacha Baron Cohen, the film portrays a Kazakh journalist traveling through the United States recording what is seemingly real life interaction with the American public. The film presents itself in a mockumentary style - the first set of juxtaposing quality of this film. As is common, a documentary is a film intended to document some aspect of the reality. By turning it into a mockery, the film will always in it contain a sense of irony - for example, when there is a hilarious event happening in what would otherwise be a serious circumstances.
Throughout the movie, we have a blend of fiction (Cohen and his script) and non-fiction (the public reaction) so that we are not sure which is which and so is in a state of hyper reality. Because this state of hyper reality causes everything for us to become real, we see the movie as an observer, so that whenever a character do something stupid, we can relate to and feel funny with it.
