Bruno

I loved this movie. It was offensive, it was grotesque and most often hilarious. I have no idea where to start. I wish this movie was longer. It was basically a story of a man wanting to become an uber celebrity by trying to be kidnapped by a terrorist, making peace in the middle east, interviewing celebrities, adopting a foreign child and so on. I think that the story moves in the direction of making fun of pop culture and showing the ignorant and usually appalling behaviours of the people who believed that Cohen really was Bruno and the things that they willingly confessed. This has got to be Cohen's best personal project and I don't think he will ever be able to create a new character to embody and make a mocumentary. I can't imagine him being able to have another one like this. I think he is just going to have to stick to acting because I don't think he can keep fooling the world and people that he is someone else, unless he stays where people are not immersed in Western Culture. Time Magazine highlights my favourite scenes of the movie. "Gayby", the hotel room, people as furniture, the homosexual converter, the karate homosexual defense, the star parents and the cage fighting scene with "Straight Bill". This is more than just a comedy and although sometimes gross and definitely offensive, its a fantastic movie.
