Ali G Indahouse

Ali G Indahouse 2002

6.07

Ali G on työtön vanhanapoika, joka hörhöilee kaveriensa kanssa, käy rankkaa reviirisotaa naapurijengin kanssa ja toimii nuoriso-ohjaajana lähiön vapaa-ajankeskuksessa. Keskus on kuitenkin päätetty lopettaa ja Ali G lähtee pyytämään parlamentin päättäjiltä apuja paikan säilyttämiseksi. Kohtalon oikusta hän pääsee vallan kabinetteihin ja jopa pääministerin oikeaksi kädeksi. Iso-Britannia painiskelee vaikeiden yhteiskunnallisten ongelmien kanssa, Afrikassa on syttyä sota ja poliitikot kähmivät, mutta Ali G pelastaa maan. Hän saa aikaan uudistuksia, mutta joutuu samalla poliittiseksi pelinappulaksi, jolla yritetään syrjäyttää pääministeri. Sacha Baron Cohen nousi kaikkien tuntemaksi koomikoksi juuri satiirisella Ali G. -hahmollaan, joka omassa TV-show’ssaan paljasti älyttömyydellään ja typeryydellään lukuisten muiden ilmiöiden ja ihmisten vielä suuremman älyttömyyden ja typeryyden.

The True Believers is a 1988 Australian mini series which looks at the history of the Australian Labor Party from the end of World War Two up to the Australian Labor Party split of 1955. It was co-written by Bob Ellis who focused on three characters "Chifley, the unlettered man of great dignity; Menzies, who used to stand for something but eventually stood only for Menzies; and Evatt, the grand idealist... It's almost like Shakespeare's Henry IV, Part 1. It's a chunk of national history during Australia's great era of change after the war."
