"Brüno The last of the three Sacha Baron Cohen characters from Da Ali G Show to get it's own feature film. Comparisons to the previous film Borat are unavoidable as the filmmakers practically encouraged it. With pretty much the same filmmaking team, Brüno is clearly an attempt to recreate the success fo Borat by sticking to the same structure. Both films are a documentary style with a mix of staged and improvised scenes about a foreigner coming to America with a quest. He travels around the country to different venues with his comrade who he gets angry at and abandons before being reunited at the end. So there are no chances taken on the structure. If it worked for you last time, hopefully it will work for you again. Just don't expect any surprises there. Now about the actual character and the meat of the scenes. Here is where Brüno in the movie is different from the movie Borat, and most of the time it doesn't work as well. If you could describe Borat with on ... "

"Don’t you just hate when the movies make you care about a bigot? Sure, racists are technically humans, but that doesn’t mean we need to sympathize with them, right? No matter how great the film, it should be very difficult to accept the softening of intolerant people. Yet the lovable racist is not uncommon in cinema. In fact, out in theaters right now are two films dealing with this type of character. The Reader presents a cold Concentration Camp guard (Kate Winslet) for whom we’re meant to shed a tear, and Gran Torino focuses on a War Veteran stereotype (Clint Eastwood) who may evoke from the audience as much amusement as disgust. Maybe it’s like picking a scab, watching these kinds of movies. Some great films, such as Downfall, may only welcome an understanding of someone so heinous as Adolph Hitler, but other films have allowed us to totally enjoy racist protagonists of lesser offense.

"Our good friends at the Associated Press are reporting that an Arkansas cage fighting event recently got the Sacha Baron Cohen treatment. Crowds in Arkansas came for the lure of cage fighting and $1 beer, but police say what they got instead was men ripping each others' clothes off and kissing . "We had a contract for cage fighting. We were deceived," said Dwight Duncan, president and CEO of Four States Fair Grounds in Texarkana, where the first of two Arkansas fights raised suspicions last month. Matt Labov, a Los Angeles-based publicist for Baron Cohen, said he had no comment Monday about the faked fights. One of Baron Cohen's movies is due out next year. The day after the June 5 Texarkana bout, Fort Smith's convention center hosted "Blue Collar Brawlin.'" Fort Smith police Sgt. Adam Holland said organizers told him a character named "Straight Dave" would goad a planted audience member into the ring for a fight. The two men would then wrestle, rip away some of their clothes and ... "

"Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of KazakhstanI've been a fan of Sacha Baron Cohen for a while. Before he brought Ali G to the US, my friend Nick discovered the original British show when he was staying over in London. We all watched clips of it over the internet and thought it was brillaint. Pleasantly surprised when he started making a splash in my country as time wore on.I was not a big fan of the Ali G movie Ali G Indahouse from what I remember. I think it was because it was entirely scripted with actors. I believe Cohen's outrageousness can only come alive in his interviews.The Borat movie is nearly perfect. Not necessarily any better than what had already been seen on Da Ali G Show, but I don't know how you could get much better than that.I'm not going to try to dissect or interpret too heavily here what Borat says about what Cohen is saying, what this movie says about American, what is says about the audience, is th ...
