In reply to Rodney. The use of US culture as a focus for his documentary is purely because it is the only way he can get the interviews with people, as they think it's legit and want to promote their culture. The humour from Borat, Ali G, or Bruno, all stems from the fact that we love to see people being wound up. That's why people watch it. It isn't particularly intelligent (there are elements of parody and satire, but not particularly sophisticated) and it is not intended to be. It is a laugh-out-loud-at-the-expense-of-others comedy. No change of plot or anything is needed.

This whole thing saddens me. I get the point that is trying to be made with “Bruno” but I know the majority of Americans won’t and will just go look at the funny “fag.” As a single gay man who has adopted a black child, this weighs heavy on my heart and promotes the discrimination my son and I already go through. It simply isn’t funny.

He is here in Dallas shooting now. The media reported him shooting a scene in front of an audience talking about how people are born gay. He then brought out a guest to prove his point: someone born gay–a baby! A 2 year old toddler sporting a “I WAS BORN GAY” shirt strolls out!!! I am actually going to be one of th extras in a scene tomorrow.

Kansas is also the home of Fred Phelps and his sorry excuse for a “church,” Westboro Baptist. You may have heard of their website before: godhatesfags.com

Yeah, makes me REAL proud to call myself a Christian with people like him around.

Anyway, wonder if deciding to film in Kansas is any coincidence.

Bruno is Cohen’s worst charactor and when compared to ali g or borat has had very little screen time on TV.
Personally I find Bruno very irritating and very very predictable, I doubt the movie will do aswell as borat did, I certainly wont be seeing it at the flicks.

I can say it wont be a copy of borat though, as even though it may seem like a similar premise, it has a very very different feel when actually watched.

Heres hoping he scraps the project. After all the crap that happened with borat, what kind of people are going to be signing disclaimers. which will probably result in a tame movie with lots of fake parts.

Give it up Cohen, get yourself some original roles like talledega nights.

Guessing Rodney hasn’t seen the Ali G show.

It was always fairly obvious that Cohen would do Bruno as the final part of bringing his characters to film so I don’t really know what your objection is. He’s proved that he can be very, very funny and I have no doubt that Bruno will provide more laughs and lots of new situations. And as for his career being over? Come on – seriously?!

I’m excited.

I think he has to do them in the US because he’s not as known there as in Europe. He can get away with it.

The Bruno skits usually involved apparent ant gay people, skinheads, neo nazis and such. Very funny stuff.

Its not the same movie. Yes the basic premise is the same – displaced character used to highlight the prejudices of American society – that doesn’t mean the film will be a simple copy of the first in any reasonable sense of the term. Bruno is enjoyably distinct from Borat as a character and also will be drawing on a different prejudice pool of course. If this is your criteria for sameness then bust out the criticism for Indy – charming archeologist goes adventuring for lost treasure and and fighting bad guys – or pretty much any film that ever had a sequel or borrowed from a good idea (keeping on theme, think The Mummy). Of course not all sequels and films that draw on a familiar formula are mere copies and many are enjoyable. Good sequels draw on the formula that made the original film successful in the first place but also bring something new table, and the differences in characters and details of the social stunts may provide just that for Cohen.

Sure Cohen is going back to the well here, there is no doubt, but that doesn’t mean its a bad idea. Its a pretty a obvious one given the success he has had thus far. Whether we see more from him once this original character pool is depleted I don’t know, but we’re not really in a position to judge this as of yet.
