From the beginning of the year to the present, Bruno has been said too much. Some people say that Cohen is going to spoof a vulgar gay, and some people say that Cohen is going to get gay. Seeing these talks, I often guess the general plot of "Bruno" like this: portraying a vulgar gay character, corrupting the image of gay in the world.
I saw it yesterday, and it was very different from what I imagined. Although Bruno's image is indeed more vulgar, but this role is not malicious. Bruno wanted to be famous, but his behavior was perverse, so he was repeatedly frustrated. During this period, a person who loved himself deeply never left him. After repeated failures, Bruno discovered that the prerequisite for becoming a celebrity is to "be a straight man." The big stars who inspired him happen to be the big names for gay scandals. He finally disguised himself as a 100% straight man. In the boxing ring, his temporarily-leaved lover suddenly appeared and woke him up, as well as the straight people who worshipped straight men and were homophobic. , Bruno became famous, and there is no need to pretend to be famous.
"Bruno" is of course a spoof. The vulgar language of the lens has been nauseating for a few times. Fortunately, I insisted on watching it. The intention of the spoof is not obscure at all, irony is everywhere, and the way of expression is naked and direct, without the slightest circumstance.
The key question is, who is this movie spoofing? gay? Austrian? American? At the end of the film, the answer came out, "Bruno" is spoofing homophobic straight people. Martial arts instructors, guys demonstrating moves at sex parties, military and camping hunks, and the priest who was praised by Bruno for having a mouth suitable for oral sex, and people in the boxing ring who are proud of being heterosexual.
The scene in the boxing ring is the most ironic. They are worshipping a homosexual who claims to be 100% straight, and they cheer for it. They seem to have only "being straight" to be proud of. Bruno kissed his homosexual in full view. People finally find that they are being fooled. They are shocked. They are desperate and seem to be in pain. They throw rubbish at the boxing ring. They swear hysterically. They shout "stop" as if seeing two men kissing is like trampling on themselves. With their dignity, they shouted "Get out of my city, pervert!"
The background music of the Titanic, slow and affectionate, is still a usual spoof scene, but the scene is no longer laughable, it is too sad, a folding chair flew into the field and almost fell on them. They were frantically desperate in such an attack, tearing each other's clothes, and even kissing their skin. Straight guys may still be laughing, but when gay looks at it, they probably won’t be able to laugh.
Of course, the ending song is also a spoof, full of vulgar words, but, such a vulgar song, the performers are all big-name singers. What's above hatred and fear...Hey, Bruno, what the bitch says...I am Jesus in Austria, and he is white Obama...I have a dream about the third world, food, clean water and education... …The last sentence of the lyrics is very meaningful: hey! hey! he's gay, he's gay. OK!
Only this extreme nakedness can be the most direct irony.
