"Bruno" actor Sasha Byron Cohen is the host and founder of the famous talk show "DaAliGShow" on HBO TV in Australia. The first season of this show was first broadcast in the United Kingdom in 2000, while the second season was produced by HBO and broadcast in the United States. In the show, Sasha played three different types of heretical reporters from different places to conduct ridiculous interviews with unsuspecting celebrities or high-ranking officials. The names of the three reporters are AliG, Porat and Bruno.

Although the show was stopped by HBO in July 2005, the three characters from the show still have their own movies due to their high popularity. In 2002, AliG was filmed with AliG as the protagonist (AliGIndahouse), which won the box office champion for seven consecutive weeks and became the best-selling British film of the year; in 2006, there was Porat with Porat as the protagonist. : The American learning journey of Kazakhs. (Borat:CulturalLearningsofAmericaforMakeBenefitGloriousNationofKazakhstan, referred to as "Borat"). With this low-cost production, Sasha also miraculously set an amazing record of over 100 million box office in the United States, and defeated John Depp of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" to become the winner of the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Comedy. This time, Sasha, who has vowed to play even bigger, is transformed into Bruno, a gay journalist from Australia, once again showing off his comedy talent in front of the audience.

Through the trailer and stills, we can see that Sasha has done a lot to shape Bruno's image as a gay. Shaved her thick body hair, wearing a leopard-print tight-fitting T-shirt, wearing super short hot pants, with a weird voice, her pose is definitely not inferior to the female model (Netease Model League). He has always performed boldly and straightforwardly. In addition to making people who usually hate comrades feel uneasy, he also mocks American stars for their pretending to be philanthropic and enthusiastic about adopting children.

The film is told in the form of a documentary, and the shooting is also carried out in different places at different times. For example, in June 2008, Sasha and the producer staged a quarrel in Fort Smith, Arkansas, USA. With the title of "Mixed Fighting", it attracted about 1,500 viewers to participate by distributing flyers, posting information on classified advertising sites and hot girls. People know through certain signs that they are in the shooting lens, and they cannot bring mobile phones, cameras or DVs in. However, it was not for the so-called mixed martial arts and there were no beauties. Instead, it turned into a homosexual activity. As a result, people threw stools and stele wine at the performers. Bruno (Byron Cohen) is one of these actors. In July 2008, Sasha and his party also went to a television station in Texas to interview the news director and sports director; in September 2008, they participated in the Spanish fashion queen's fashion show during Milan Fashion Week and so on.

In addition to spoofing people in the entertainment industry, Sasha also "played" with political figures like Ron Paul, a physician from Texas and a former presidential candidate. The production team deceived Ron Paul to the filming scene by interviewing the congressman on economic issues. According to articles in one of the magazines of the Washington Post, the interview was normal at the beginning, but after a stage technical failure, Bruno suggested that Dr. Paul and himself wait in another room while the staff was repairing it. After arriving in the room, Bruno began to play music and dance. At first, Ron Paul didn't take it seriously. However, when Bruno took off his pants, the congressman left the room angrily. Afterwards, Paul’s spokesperson commented on the incident, believing that Sasha and the others deceived the congressman, said the congressman did not understand Bruno’s program, and said that the congressman would not be interviewed if it weren’t for interviews about economic issues.

There is also a performance by Latoya, the sister of superstar Michael Jackson. In the film, Sasha asked her to sit on the back of a Mexican worker as a chair and asked her to eat sushi placed on the naked man's body. Then Bruno stole Latoya's cell phone to obtain Jackson's cell phone number. But with the sudden death of the superstar Michael Jackson, Universal Studios announced that it would delete the fragments about Latoya from the completed copies, in order to show respect to the members of the Jackson family.

In addition to filming this film, Sasha also attended some awards ceremonies as Bruno to promote the film. In May 2009, Bruno, dressed as an angel with wings but dressed in the kind of lower body protection and go-go boots worn by athletes, dropped from the sky to the awards ceremony of the 18th American MTV Film Awards. When Bruno landed from the audience to the direction of the stage, he accidentally landed on the rapper Eminem’s head, with his legs sandwiched between Eminem’s neck and his face against Emine’s legs, while his buttocks were just in front of Eminem. . Suddenly, Eminem said a few words in anger and irritation before leading his entourage to leave the venue. Just when people were surprised by Eminem’s "hip attack", Scott, the creator of the awards ceremony, stood up and said that the "accident" was deliberately arranged in advance by the organizer, including the performance of Eminem’s angry departure. . It is said that originally Bruno wanted to "motivate" the socialite Paris Hilton, but was rejected. And this awards ceremony also soared because of such incidents.

With Sasha's strange appearance, extreme language and alternative comedy style, the film "Bruno" has been loved by theaters and has been affirmed by certain magazines and website media. The film is one of the four major summer blockbusters promoted by Universal Studios this summer. It will be screened simultaneously in more than 3,000 theaters across the United States on July 10. Nick Curtis of the London Evening Standard, the main newspaper in London, wrote that "Bruno is more interesting, more offensive, and more shameless than Porat". The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) also gave positive comments on the film, but also pointed out that because the film is offensive, not everyone will like this kind of film. Of course, not every comment is positive. The Hollywood Reporter stated that “If Bruno wants to truly show the gay culture, he still needs to study well in the gay bar.” Others said: “Although the jokes promoted in the film are enough to make any comedy film a big box office. , But the audience will still be impatient with Bruno’s so many crude jokes and ridiculous appearances." But anyway, "Bruno" is still very popular on the famous "Rotten Tomatoes" website in the United States, and its freshness is as high as 86%.
