The 'complex' character is of course BRUNO THE GAY ICON.This film will prove to be the best comedy movie of the decade.Dont miss it.A clip from the blog More Than Fine ; www.nomorequo.blogspot.com Bruno is ostensibly supposed to reveal to us how shallow the fashion industry is:Bruno's schtick consists of interviewing conservative figures and playing up his "gay" attributes to make both interviewer and interviewe incredibly uncomfortable.In an interview with Terry Gross on Fresh Air, Cohen commented on this last scene, saying that he felt his life was in danger with thousands of fans booing him and many of them ready to go out and literally give him a brutal beating. In this way, Cohen said, the scene revealed how anti-homosexual tendencies are actually one of the last remaining widely-accepted forms of bigotry in our society. By allowing us to see this, Cohen's Bruno character rips many of us out of our progressive, liberal cocoon. It forces us to stare at the visceral fear and (sometimes) hate that still pervades much of the country surrounding homosexuality.
Despite what some people say, I still think it's a message that needs to be heard, and one that's not heard often enough.Clips can be seen on ....... Youtube.The beach interview is an old classic.Cant wait.
