Sasha has the power!
Posted by: Motley lamb in 2009, Art Uber Alles, Blog, Satire, Fiction, ParodySasha Baron Cohen, a comedian, an actor, a journalist… and ultimately the creator of the very successful movies “Borat” and “Bruno“. A man who does not put limits to his satire ending up to be considered sometimes “provocative” and ‘highly offensive” (especially for his first movie, Borat). Borat is a supposed man from Kazakhstan, a journalist living in a village under Third World conditions and because of that, the government of his country sends him to the US to obtain cultural lessons and help Kazakhstan to improve. When finally Borat arrives in the US, he confronts an unexpected cultural shock and he feels the vast differences between the developed west and his country.

Charlie Chaplin was one of the most important artists of the cinema. An artist who whatever was pretending to be in his movies made it action in his life; he denounced the conservative establishment and fought against the stereotypes.
“The Great Dictator” is probably his most important work, not just because it is a good movie but because of its powerful meaning. Every progressive person would agree with that.
In the movie Charlie has a dual role. He is both a dictator, an Adolf Hitler replica, and a Jew barber who confronts the discrimination and violence of the fascist regime. Towards the end of the movie the original dictator falls into a river, gets dirty and is led into a concentration camp, while the barber, secretly dressed like a soldier in order to escape from the camp, is mistaken for the dictator.

The owner of this horn-shaped men’s toilet (in a pub in Freibourg – Germany) has received complaints by insulted musician customers. To my mind this is an impressive work of art that could be appropriate for a modern art exhibition or Biennale but it seems like it is deemed as an insult by some musicians. However, I as a musician opposed to discrimination against artists, find it really interesting because obviously the designer?s intent was not to provoke or insult.
I would not be mistaken to assume that those who complained were classical musicians, who are known for their “purism”. I remember my old classical guitar teacher who used to tell me: “What are you listening to? David Bowie and Guns n Roses? These are just worthless little songs” and “The term classical music is incorrect, it should be called serious music!”. As if the folk, jazz, rock etc were non-serious, worthless music….
