bruno was almost an excellent movie
. what killed it was following thesame format as 'borat.' past that, this movie was hilarious and tops 'borat' and 'ali g' any day.
what i liked about this movie besides bruno being ridiculous and an idiot
in most scenes, was him showing how disgusting people can act. i think he's a genius in that aspect. it even showed in the movie theater. ilive in oregon and just 10 mins out of the city is basically country in all outer directions. for some reason, people who fit a rural/suburban lifestyle werein the movie and you can tell who they were. they were the ones laughing at the overly-gay scenes, or when people would use '$#%*%' or terms. buttheir attitudes seemed to change during the 'straight dave' scene. everything was cool to them when straight dave was preaching about being straight. the theater was all of a sudden quiet when you saw the crowd go crazy.
my other fav scene was the richard bey show. i'm black so it's all jokes to me, but it was pretty cool to see that even though black folks and gaysshare the same sentiment in being treated in an ill way, some black folks don't like gay people either. it's just less PC to be called the N-word vssomeone who's gay being called the F-word. to me, it's the same damn thing. and it's a DAMN SHAME to see that within the black community, some ofour people feel the same as the southern white folks in that movie.
i love movies that can go to the last limit. i remember this was NC-17 and i'm glad it got the R-rating. in a sense, people got okey-doke'd intoseeing this film thinking it was making fun of gay people, which it was, but also kind of throw people's feelings back into their faces to see howdisgusting they act. effin genius.

These movies are high budget ethnomethodologies. In other words, he is engaging in a sociological expiriment. Borat was the more ambitious of yhe
two
EXACTLY how i see this movie. i mean, it's a 'social experiment' even in this thread. this thread is 11 pages deep vs the 'publicenemies' thread getting just a few pages. i'd say sacha cohen is bringing issues in america forward and is making people from both sides (the ones whoare homophobic vs the ones who aren't) talk about it instead of putting it on the back burner. we have more pressing issues in this country of course (thewar, economy, etc), but racism/sexism/hatred/discriminination still exist in this country. we preach as americans that we are tolerant and a nation of'freedom,' but we all know that's a damn lie.
