Bruno, Too Gay For Gays
August 12th, 2009 by Matt
So back when I first watched Bruno a bunch of people said “Bruno was gay, don’t see it.” At that point I am wondering if the people are actually calling the movie gay or if they’re using the word gay as a synonym for shitty. If it’s the first one I would ask them “well what did you expect, it is a movie about a gay guy.” And if it’s the second choice I would say “well what did you expect, Borat was pretty stupid as well, therefore it would be the same kind of humour.” With both questions I usually received a pretty stupid answer: “trudat.”
But this led me to think of a reason why some of my friends loved the movie, and why some of my friends hated it. Then I got it, the reason people hated Bruno is because they aren’t confident in their sexuality. Bruno had a scene were there was a dancing penis. “OH DEAR GOD, THIS IS THE WORST SHIT EVER.” Fuck you man, if you get offended by looking at a penis I wonder how you take a piss everyday.
Now I understand the random shit happening is not every one’s choice of movie. God knows it’s not first on my list of best genres. Like others, I enjoy carefully structured humour that is pretty subtle. In this case, I wouldn’t call Bruno gay but rather I’d call it stupid. Plus, we all know it’s not gay as long as the balls don’t touch.
