Bruno, views on gays.

Well, tonight, I finished watching Bruno with Tommy and Peewe and to be honest, the film was not very "fascinating", more or less, it was just pure shtick humor... however it was ingeniously hilarious. Anyone who watched Borat and found that extremely funny, will find this movie even more hilarious. So please, take the time to watch it, it's great.

My review won't really be on the movie itself, but the content it was based around.

The Gay Issue:

So obviously, Bruno is gay, and to be honest, this movie is NOT ANTI-GAY.

So please let me explain why. My reaction to the whole "gay" thing is that... well obviously Bruno is gay, and he does "gay" things, so to speak... but like the stereotype of Borat, like any stereotype... and well it is what it is.

This is probably because I've lived in California my entire life with small blocks of it being spent in the South.

I didn't find that him doing "gay" things I.E. enjoying sex with men were the main projection of the movie. I found Bruno to be weird not because he was gay... but because he was JUST WEIRD.

I mean, he was wrapped up in this idea of being famous throughout the world and his never-ending stride towards that goal. I mean, Adidas does say Impossible Is Nothing... but we seriously have to look at reality here... Bruno.

You know, him (Bruno) being gay was only a small part of the movie, the vanity of the man -- the idea that it's all about him and his strive for stardom, his thirst for attention.. you know, that's what he values more than anything in his life... that's what the movie's all about.


Even the fact that Bruno finds homophobic people and he manipulates that in a weird way plays on things... you know even more than Borat.

Such as when Borat is in that rodeo and was saying so many things that were so extreme about America that upset people, you know like saying things "anti-American".. and the idea was just less complexed in the movie Bruno like the UFC match where everybody is tearing their heads off and shouting how they love being heterosexual and turning it into a gay event. Because the whole process of professional fighting/wrestling is so freaking gay, you know it's a bunch of overbuilt men in tiny little trunks throwing themselves ontop of each other in some choreographed dance.

To take a look at this in another light, all of these stereotypes of gays and their "activities"... are just typified in these so-called "heterosexual" hobbies! That's the interesting irony of it all.

America is so tied up on how they perceive the "gays" that they really forget how hypocritical they are, especially the way they "claim" gays act.


The bottom line of the movie is... it's not ANTI-GAY.. in my opinion it's really just bringing light to an issue that's often shunned upon. And really, the idea of the movie is to really put the shock factor into the audience you know? Hoping the audience will ask themselves "did he actually do that shit?"

Because Sacha Baron's goal is to shock people with crazy antics, just look at his movies!

Overall, I highly recommend this movie to everyone, it's just straight schtick humor.
