I must publicly confess my endless love and humble worship for Sacha Baron Cohen, the most daring and spontaneous comedian of our times. When I saw his bull-costumed Madrid premiere – and laughed my heart out – I felt the sudden urge to see “Bruno”. Or “Br\u00fcno”, as he writes it, though nobody in the film pronounces the umlaut.<\/p>\n
Similarly to “Borat: Cultural Learnings…”, “Bruno” may stir controversy due to its harsh and explicit humour (Although, unlike Kazakhstan, Austria proved to have a sense of humour). Nonetheless, it reveals Sacha Baron Cohen as a genuine master of brilliant improvisation within the bonds of a precisely defined character. It is obvious that most of the “Bruno” footage was made similarly to “candid-camera” – and the results are overwhelming. Because it is a more expressive depiction of today’s ways than any carefully written and elaborated plot.<\/p>\n
First of all, “Bruno” (or “Br\u00fcno”) satirizes the shallowness of the desire to become famous by all means. We are already used to Cohen’s spectacular physical changes from one character to the next, so I was not quite surprised when the 37-year-old Cohen showed up as the slender, girlish, gracious 19-year-old Bruno. I was not surprised to hear that Cohen DID ruin a fashion show in Milan, in order to shoot an unbelievably funny entrance on the catwalk. And finally, I was not surprised by Cohen’s classical trick: to pose as a complete idiot, in order to reveal the idiocy of some of the people surrounding him.<\/p>\n
Actually, what surprised me was the tragic aftertaste of this sparkling comedy. Indeed, many people would do anything in their attempt to seek attention. I am wondering how the La Toya Jackson scene, cut due to MJ’s recent death, looked like. Did she eat the sushi off the naked man? I suppose so; considering that Paula Abdul’s dignified refusal needed a counterpoint. Indeed, poor people trade little children – for ridiculously low sums – or are ready to torture them in unbelievable ways, in order to exploit them for money. Indeed, many regular guys are aggressively homophobic – to the extent of physically hurting gay people.<\/p>\n
Go to the cinema and watch “Bruno”. And then ask yourself: should I exercise to strengthen my backbone? (I did.)<\/p>\n

Trebuie s\u0103 \u00eemi m\u0103rturisesc public iubirea \u00eenfl\u0103c\u0103rat\u0103 \u015fi umila adora\u0163ie pentru Sacha Baron Cohen, cel mai \u00eendr\u0103zne\u0163 \u015fi mai inventiv actor de comedie al zilelor noastre. C\u00e2nd i-am v\u0103zut costumul de taur de la premiera de la Madrid, am sim\u0163it c\u0103 mor pe loc dac\u0103 nu v\u0103d acest film. “Bruno”. Sau “Br\u00fcno”, dup\u0103 cum apare pe afi\u015f, de\u015fi nimeni nu pronun\u0163\u0103 umlaut-ul.<\/p>\n
Ca \u015fi \u00een “Borat: \u00cenv\u0103\u0163\u0103minte…”, umorul grosier \u015fi mult prea explicit va st\u00e2rni controverse lungi \u015fi late. (De\u015fi, spre deosebire de Kazahstan, Austria a dovedit c\u0103 le are cu umorul.) \u015ei cu toate acestea, filmul dezv\u0103luie (din nou) arta lui Cohen de a improviza spumos \u00een limitele unui personaj bine conturat. Ceea ce d\u0103 unitate scenariilor lui destul de dezl\u00e2nate \u015fi pe alocuri trase de p\u0103r. <\/p>\n
E evident c\u0103 o mare parte din filmul Br\u00fcno” a fost filmat\u0103 prin procedeul camerei ascunse – iar rezultatele sunt cople\u015fitoare. Nici cel mai elaborat \u015fi mai bine conceput scenariu nu ar putea pune \u00een lumin\u0103 mai expresiv viciile lumii \u00een care tr\u0103im (\u015fi implicit, ale noastre \u00een\u015fine.)<\/p>\n
\u00cen primul r\u00e2nd, “Bruno” – c\u0103 m-am plictisit s\u0103 tot pun un umlaut pe care nimeni nu-l roste\u015fte – e o satir\u0103 la adresa superficialit\u0103\u0163ii cu care omul din ziua de azi vrea s\u0103 devin\u0103 celebru cu orice pre\u0163. M-am obi\u015fnuit deja cu schimb\u0103rile fizice spectaculoase cu care ne “trateaz\u0103” Cohen de la un rol la altul, de aceea nu m-a mirat c\u0103 acest actor de 37 de ani e o apari\u0163ie at\u00e2t de credibil\u0103 \u00een rolul unui pu\u015fti sub\u0163irel, efeminat, gra\u0163ios, de 19 ani. Nu m-a mirat nici faptul c\u0103 SB Cohen a dat \u00eentr-adev\u0103r buzna pe catwalk-ul unei prezent\u0103ri de mod\u0103 de la Milano, pentru a realiza respectiva secven\u0163\u0103 din film – \u015fi pentru a prinde reac\u0163ii autentice din partea spectatorilor. \u015ei, evident, nu m-a surprins nici trucul clasic al lui Cohen: acela de a poza \u00een cel mai mare idiot pentru a da \u00een vileag des\u0103v\u00e2r\u015fita idio\u0163enie a unora dintre cei care \u00eel \u00eenconjoar\u0103.<\/p>\n
De fapt, ceea ce m-a surprins e gustul amar cu care am r\u0103mas dup\u0103 vizionarea acestei comedii irezistibile. \u00centr-adev\u0103r, mul\u0163i oameni sunt dispu\u015fi s\u0103 \u00ee\u015fi bat\u0103 joc de ei \u00een\u015fi\u015fi \u00een ultimul hal, pentru a fi b\u0103ga\u0163i pu\u0163in \u00een seam\u0103. M\u0103 \u00eentreb cum ar\u0103ta scena cu LaToya Jackson – care a fost t\u0103iat\u0103 din film datorit\u0103 recentului deces al lui MJ? Oare la Toya a m\u00e2ncat sushi de pe trupul b\u0103rbatului gol? Presupun c\u0103 da; dac\u0103 lu\u0103m \u00een considerare refuzul demn al Paulei Abdul, \u015fi faptul c\u0103 era nevoie de un contrapunct. \u00centr-adev\u0103r, exist\u0103 oameni s\u0103raci care \u00ee\u015fi v\u00e2nd copiii – pe sume ridicole – sau \u00eei tortureaz\u0103 \u00een moduri incredibile pentru a face bani de pe spinarea lor.<\/p>\n
(\u015ei aici \u00eemi amintesc iar cum s-au g\u00e2ndit p\u0103rin\u0163ii mei s\u0103 m\u0103 trimit\u0103 la ASE, contrar tuturor dorin\u0163elor \u015fi \u00eenclina\u0163iilor mele. “M\u0103 plictisesc de moarte acolooo!” Las’ c\u0103 te obi\u015fnuie\u015fti tu! “Nu m\u0103 intereseaz\u0103 nimic din ceea ce se vorbe\u015fte acolo!” P\u0103i, pune m\u00e2na pe carte \u015fi \u00eenva\u0163\u0103. “Nu m\u0103 pot integra, simt c\u0103 m\u0103 ratez!” Mofturi! “\u00ceMI TAI VENELEEE!” Ne mai la\u015fi cu t\u00e2mpeniile? Mai bine \u0163i le tai, dec\u00e2t s\u0103 \u00eemi vii acas\u0103 ca o tr\u00e2ntori\u0163\u0103, s\u0103 te \u00eentre\u0163in eu.
\n\u00cen clipa \u00een care am ie\u015fit din aceast\u0103 situa\u0163ie cu venele intacte, mi-am dat seama c\u0103 exist\u0103 totu\u015fi un Dumnezeu. Care a ap\u0103rat toate firmele pe care le-a\u015f fi falimentat \u00een calitate de economist :D.
\n\u00cencheiat scurtul moment autobiografic.)<\/p>\n
\u015ei \u00eentr-adev\u0103r, exist\u0103 oameni at\u00e2t de agresivi \u00een homofobia lor grobian\u0103, \u00eenc\u00e2t nu se sfiesc a face r\u0103u fizic persoane care au o alt\u0103 orientare sexual\u0103.<\/p>\n
Merge\u0163i la cinematografe \u015fi vede\u0163i “Bruno”. Apoi, \u00eentreba\u0163i-v\u0103: “Nu ar trebui s\u0103 fac ni\u015fte exerci\u0163ii pentru fortifierea coloanei vertebrale?” (Eu a\u015fa am f\u0103cut.)<\/p>\n
