So, I went to see Brüno,
the new crap movie starring the one, the only Sacha Baron Cohen.
You know him as the star of Borat or Ali G. Whatever.
The movie is a so called comedy. Apart from effectively thrashing
gays, Afro-Americans, people in fashion business, German/Austrian
people and Jewish people (to name the major categories here), the
movie is lame. Poor humor, lots of explicit content for a poor
excuse of a comedy.
Now, let’s get to the interesting part: the cinema was full (yes, I
payed to see this piece of crap inspiring, life changing movie)
with a pretty good distribution among age groups. From teens that
barely has 17(minimum for an R rated movie) to grandma’s and
grandpa’s curious about this new hit movie everyone is raving
about.
What amazed me is that these people were actually enjoying this
movie. They were enjoying the poor humor and the extremely
impolitically correct jokes this nut brilliant man (SachaB Cohen,
if there are any doubts) was making. We’re not talking about a
hint here. We are talking about explicitly saying things that would
comfortably land you in a nice jail cell if you said them in
public. Racial slurs, insulting the African-American comunity
several time, jokes one of the most terrible man in history,
Hitler, as being the greatest austrian most important person of all
times (who would dare to say that?), everything you could imagine
and beyond. It’s all there.
And what did the audience do? They laughed. Hard. And laughed some
more.
This, in my opinion, show just how impolitically correct people
really are. Shows just how hypocrite people can be. It also shows
to what great lenghts some people will go, just for entertaiment.
Sad, sad truth.

That being said, the movie is better than Ice Age 3, and has some
incredible stupid scenes that will make your unable to stop
laughing.
