Brüno

Having watched the new Sacha Baron Cohen movie Bruno or Brüno, I feel rather confused about the movie. The movie is very funny at times as well as very shocking at times with scenes of homosexuality. The movie can be hard to understand at times. I feel the movie has two aims, one to entertain the viewer as well as get a message across that homophobic views are still very strong. There is a scene where Bruno is pretending to be a fighter and is bragging about his heterosexually to build up the crowd. There are people in the audience wearing t-shirts with homophobic words. He then lets someone into the ring only to start kissing the guy. I feel this scene really shows how much people still find homosexuality offensive. I do not feel the movie is as good as Borat and I did not feel it would be. I would say anyone who likes Borat or Ali G to give it a go but I do not know if I will watch it again.
