Bruno official trailer at ireel.com

There are actors and then there are ACTORS. Sacha Baron Cohen is one of those ACTORS. His style has always seemed to include fully committing himself to the role of the character he has decided to take on, really showing his dedication to his work. First he gave us Ali G., a satirical character displaying the stereotype of a non-black British suburban male who consumes himself in black and Jamaican culture through hip-hop and reggae. Ali’s job description included interviewing various public figures in the UK, shocking them with his street image and his deeply stereotypical view of the world.

Then came our beloved Borat Sagdiyev, a popular Kazakh journalist traveling through the United States recording real-life situations on the behalf of the fictitious Kazakh Ministry of Information. The majority of the film features unscripted scenes of Borat interviewing and interacting with Americans, who truly believe he is a foreigner with little or no understanding of American customs, and they go out of their way to teach him their customs. He in return goes out of his way to further stereotype the image of a foreigner.

Now comes Brüno, a flamboyant Austrian fashionista who decides to take his show across the water to the USA. Similar to Ali and Borat, Brüno is also a reporter. However his niche includes fashion, entertainment, celebrities, and homosexuality. His interviews get funnier depending on how much of a prejudiced person the interviewee is, for the extremists he presents them with an over the top stereotype persona of a homosexual irking prejudice responses from them. I for one cannot wait to see the film, Sacha has been awesome in his acting, whether it be his own characters on TV and his feature films, or if its an assigned character in a movie such as his Talladega Nights’ Jean Girard, a homosexual NASCAR champion. It won’t be long, a month flies by in the summer we’ll all be rushing in once the film is released, I would in no way be surprised if this movie does well in the box office.
