Comments on: Bruno GQ Interview http://www.thebrunomovie.com/bruno-gq-interview Delicious Journeys Through America for the Purpose of Making Heterosexual Males Visibly Uncomfortable in the Presence of a Gay Foreigner in a Mesh T-Shirt Mon, 24 Aug 2009 15:45:42 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Carmen http://www.thebrunomovie.com/bruno-gq-interview/comment-page-1#comment-3667 Carmen Mon, 17 Aug 2009 01:57:37 +0000 http://www.thebrunomovie.com/?p=595#comment-3667 Personally, I loved this movie! Even being bi/lesbian (who knows which it really is...though i find men largely undatable due to lack of interest, but havent given up completly :)) i did not find this at all offensive, because it was simply showing what actually goes on as far as stereotypes go. I've been stereotyped and have seen others as well, so it's nothing new. I think the movie does a good job of showing this, while still remaining 'tasteful' (though this could be argued). In the end, the whole must be considered to see the actual meaning: exposing and making fun of homophobia. I really think there is a lot to take away from it--more than just the laughs.

However, do you know how we call gay party people openly supporting the Folsom gay leather pride parade around here? "Mayor". Nobody took the provocation seriously, and I'm proud of my city for that. Oh, and I'm going to see the film. Cohen has been in Berlin, promoting his film.

Any slight, no matter how small, is automatically made into the biggest deal. So often we cannot take a joke and it's sad. Bruno is NOT making fun of gay people. It's making fun of those who have a problem with gay people (i.e. homophobes) just as Borat was making fun of bigots and anti-semities. Anyone who has a problem with this, as stated in several comments above, needs to have their head checked. There is a deeper message to the film behind the laughs - that we should be able to laugh at ourselves. It's just a joke! We might have an easier time getting along if we did not take ourselves so seriously.

He has a girlfriend and has a little daughter!!! I think Sacha B. Cohen is hilarious and his work is really admiring. What he tries to show us is pure reality and how superficial and influenced by prejudices people are. I have a friend, who is gay, and he loves him too. Some may think that he makes fun of gays and yes maybe that's the way how it looks but neither does my friend feel offended nor am I shocked. There's also another aspect of this movie which many people seem to forget. I am myself an Austrian and that's why I could feel offended because Cohen makes Austria look stupid and now the whole world thinks that Austria is a country where Hitler is from and also a crazy gay man! But to be honest, it's otherwise, I think it's soo funny that he chose Austria for Brüno`s home country. I love he's accent because it is so authentic and really well done. The truth is that not everybody speaks like that but at the end of the day I'm also quite happy that at least some people will know that there is a country called Austria. Let's face it, most of the Americans have no idea of European geography. There's always a target group in Cohen's movies but I shouldn't take it seriously and if you don't want to think about the deeper meaning and the message of this movie, then don't watch it or go to the movies just for entertainment!!

If you had anything more about you you wouldn't need to mention what you get up to in the bedroom/public lavatory. But mention it you do... ad fuckin nauseam. And the same old off-the-shelf camp persona every time. Boring. If you psycho-social dysfuctionals didn’t define yourselves so narrowly you
