Bruno, the movie...

[max_tranmere]

His next role is to play Freddie Mercury from Queen apparently.

Someone should do that to Cohen, see how he likes it.

I could tell which bits of the film were acted, there are very few, but it is obvious his 'assistant' and the talk show host are actors. The gay dwarf he has sex with and impales on a dildo machine was probably a gay hooker he picked up and the guy is unlikely to know he is being filmed for a big movie.

I didnt know I wouldnt like it, it was far more extreme than I imagined it would be.

[max_tranmere]

Wouldn't want to. He may be able to act, but I dont think anyone has ever taken anything this far in the name of 'character acting'.

[max_tranmere]

I rarely get offended, but I have never watched gay sex before as I have no interest in it. This was sprung upon me in the film and it was schocking. It is not acted either.

[max_tranmere]

'Gay spoof movie'? The gay sex in this film is REAL. As I said at the top, I dont know how it got past the censors.

I found this online...

" Just got back from seeing Bruno at the Embassy. I laughed throughout most of it ? at times with tears, but around half a dozen in the theatre walked out after half an hour!

While it was very very funny, I would agree it is not quite as good as Borat. Borat had much more original humour, while Bruno sort of plays the same joke over and over ? seeing people react to such a camp character.

There are graphic sex scenes in the movie ? not a film for the squeamish. The initial sex scene with the midget was eye opening ? and the first appearance of the bicycle powered dildo! "

Max, do you think that Cohen was purposely playing on lots of peoples' discomfort with homosexuality to make a point?
