So i finally got to watch this the other night and i laughed, i thought not only was it well made, but it was brilliant, here is a bit about the film: Brüno was born in Klagenfurt, Austria, and he has quoted his surname as being "Gehard". Despite appearing to be a grown man, he claims to be 19 years old. His mother was murdered by his father, who was a prominent cuckoo clock beak maker in Schleswig-Holstein before going to jail.[2] Brüno's first homosexual experience occured when he was 14 years old when his Uncle Wilhelm entered his bedroom late one night and performed fellatio on him. Brüno claims that this only happened as he was holding a knife to his uncle's neck at the time. Brüno's brother Durgel runs a laminating business in Salzburg.[3] By the late 1980s, Bruno worked as a dancer, and he had a friendship with Rob Pilatus and Fabrice Morvan of Milli Vanilli fame. In 1992, he was chosen to be one of the dancers in the video for Snap!'s Rhythm is a Dancer, but had to pull out the day before filming when he developed an eye infection from contact with dog faeces. He took a job at Klub Apartheid in Vienna, initially working as a urinal. After being urinated on by a producer from the ÖJRF Austrian TV channel, Brüno made a witty remark and his potential was noted. His first television show was Get Uber It, followed by Funkyzeit mit Brüno (Funkytime with Brüno) which has been running for eight years.[3] On this show, Brüno interviewed guests about topics such as fashion, entertainment, celebrities and homosexuality, with an emphasis on the last subject as each interview progresses. Brüno was fired from the show in 2008, but has since been reinstated.[3] The Brüno film picks up the character's story just before he was fired from Funkyzeit in 2008. The Austrian TV station that screens Funkyzeit is ÖJRF (revealed once as Österreichischer Jungen-Rundfunk, or in English, Austrian Boys' Broadcasting). The name is similar to that of Austrian national broadcaster ORF (Österreichischer Rundfunk). Their logo often appears on Brüno's show in the upper right corner of the screen. Brüno has also claimed to be making the show for Austrian Gay TV, and encouraged a college wrestling team at Daytona Beach to send greetings to all viewers of the channel.[4] The show's theme song is "Crank It Up", by Scooter, from the album Our Happy Hardcore. ====================== Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! ============== i really cannot wait for the film to be avaliable on DVD because i want mt daughter to watch it, has anyone else seen it? if so what did you think?
nsensus: Crude and offensive, but with ample cultural insights and gut-busting laughs, Bruno is another outlandish and entertaining mockumentary from Sacha Baron Cohen. Rated: R [See Full Rating] for pervasive strong and crude sexual content, graphic nudity and language Box Office: $49,588,655 Synopsis: After BORAT took over America in 2006, another Sacha Baron Cohen creation arrives on the big screen. In BRUNO, the gay Austrian model of the title brings his antics to the States. Rotten Tomatoes Review
Hell yeah, I busted my gut laughing at so many scenes too. In particular, I was absolutely cringing during that one middle east scene where he's interviewing former blood enemies and holding their hands while he sings that awful song. That moment should go down in the history books as an eternal classic- the middle east could use a lot more of that humour, would probably go a long way towards smoothing over their differences. Having enjoyed Borat so much, I was expecting to face a little disappointment seeing this one, 'cuz Borat's a real tough act to follow. I must say I wasn't disappointed in the least, this one's a real dandy.
I laughed and laughed at my husband and son. They didn't know Bruno and Borat were played by the same guy. LOL, idiots. In fact, I bet they thought Borat and Bruno were real people and not characters. I can't watch it. Its like watching Jerry Springer. Too cringe worthy for me.
