The Dictator

The Dictator is a 2012 political satire black comedy film co-written by and starring Sacha Baron Cohen as his fourth feature film in a leading role. The film was directed by Larry Charles, who also directed Baron Cohen's mockumentaries Borat and Brüno. Baron Cohen, in the role of Admiral General Aladeen, the dictator of the fictional Republic of Wadiya visiting the United States, stars alongside Anna Faris, Ben Kingsley, and Jason Mantzoukas with uncredited appearances by John C. Reilly and Garry Shandling. Producers Jeff Schaffer and David Mandel said that Baron Cohen's character was inspired by real-life dictators with personality cults like Kim Jong Il, Idi Amin, Muammar Gaddafi, Jean-Bédel Bokassa, Mobutu Sese Seko, and Saparmurat Niyazov. The film's opening credits sarcastically dedicate it "in loving memory" to Kim Jong Il, who died in 2011. It received mixed reviews from critics and grossed $179 million.

Love it! - Here's what you do. - Okay. Zipline across, kill the double, and then rip up the constitution in front of the world's media. Piece of cake.

I don't understand what has happened. My calculations were very precise.

If you lose enough weight, then the zipline will work. Do you have anything in your pockets? Let me check.

What is that? It's Vita Coco water.

Why do you have Vita Coco water? Because it has as much potassium as three bananas. The line is still too heavy. Is there anything else in your pockets that could be weighing you down?

You're kidding. So then why did you bring three bananas? Because I don't trust the advertising. I'm naturally suspicious.

Is there anything else you're carrying? You're still too heavy. Just this.

What is that, a brick? All this time you've had a brick? Why do you have that? Well, to balance out the weight from the other one. You have two bricks? Yes! Throw them down immediately!

That won't be enough to make a difference. Yes, it will. I haven't gone since Wadiya. Losing power has stopped me up like a cork. Hurry! Come on, Supreme Leader! Make it rain! Make it rain!
