Life on Holidae

Short Review of Bruno HIGH SPOILER WARNING! My friends and I buy our tickets to the movie and are ID-ed twice.  We took note of this unusual occurence as we sunk into the one of the first rows of the theatre.  We were close to the screen but not necessarily uncomfortable.  The trailers pass.  The snacks we snuck in get eaten.  We amuse ourselves with the movies we may watch some time this summer. Arial Font BOLD: Bruno.  The first fifteen minutes of the film detail the life and styles of Bruno, an OPENLY gay Austrian fashion and celebrity reporter.  See Bruno strut, see Bruno have sex, see Bruno observe fashion show, see Bruno have sex, see Bruno make other people highly uncomfortable while having sex. Whereas Borat was some what shy in his repellant social relations, Bruno is obsessively in your face.  I mean EVERYTHING is in your face.  From his wardrobe to his prolific sexual tastes everything is there for you to see.  Bruno makes the following people look like idiots: hollywood execs, producers, agents - the entire managing industry the cult of celebrity the shit celebrities get away with rednecks, hillbillies and the christian right day time talk shows homophobic swingers all HOMOPHOBES audiences of MMA (mixed, martial arts) the military austrians the fashion industry stage parents africa the middle east OJ simpson charitable organizations fronted by celebrity clients terrorist organizations This movie was so fucked up sometimes but its like that car wreck you can’t stop looking at EXCEPT that car wreck was intentional.  The fucked up thing about this movie that makes it so wonderful is that the moments you want to cover your eyes and cringe were engineered FOR THAT REACTION.  So Bravo Cohen, you’re movie was great.  I laughed, I cried and I puked a little. 4 OUT OF 5 stars. NOT 5 because there were some parts (like the part with Ron Paul…yes the cute little congressman from Texas) that crossed the line. Not suitable for minors or people who are remotely homophobic.

Short Review of Bruno

HIGH SPOILER WARNING!

My friends and I buy our tickets to the movie and are ID-ed twice.  We took note of this unusual occurence as we sunk into the one of the first rows of the theatre.  We were close to the screen but not necessarily uncomfortable.  The trailers pass.  The snacks we snuck in get eaten.  We amuse ourselves with the movies we may watch some time this summer.

Whereas Borat was some what shy in his repellant social relations, Bruno is obsessively in your face.  I mean EVERYTHING is in your face.  From his wardrobe to his prolific sexual tastes everything is there for you to see.  Bruno makes the following people look like idiots:

hollywood execs, producers, agents - the entire managing industry

the cult of celebrity

the shit celebrities get away with

rednecks, hillbillies and the christian right

day time talk shows

homophobic swingers

all HOMOPHOBES

audiences of MMA (mixed, martial arts)

the military

austrians

the fashion industry

stage parents

africa

the middle east

OJ simpson

charitable organizations fronted by celebrity clients

terrorist organizations

This movie was so fucked up sometimes but its like that car wreck you can’t stop looking at EXCEPT that car wreck was intentional.  The fucked up thing about this movie that makes it so wonderful is that the moments you want to cover your eyes and cringe were engineered FOR THAT REACTION.  So Bravo Cohen, you’re movie was great.  I laughed, I cried and I puked a little.

4 OUT OF 5 stars. NOT 5 because there were some parts (like the part with Ron Paul…yes the cute little congressman from Texas) that crossed the line.
