Brüno



Vassup! Ich bin Brüno, eine gay Österreicher fashion host. Die Europäer kicked me outta die business, so I need to go to America to become über-famous.

Brüno is a mockumentary film from Sacha Baron Cohen that follows the story of Brüno, a fabulously gay man who is fired from his television show after ruining a fashion show and his lover leaves him for another man. He decides to go to America (with his assistant Lutz) to become the "biggest Austrian superstar since Hitler".

 * Adaptation Expansion - Like Borat, Bruno originated in Da Ali G Show.
 * Alle Deutsche Sind Nazis: Bruno addressing a military officer  as "Mein Führer", giving a Heil Hitler salute during basic training, referring to himself and Hitler as Austria's greatest men, and calling Brad Pitt "Bradolf Pittler".
 * All-Star Cast: The film ends with Bruno making a charity music video with Bono, Slash, Snoop Dogg, Chris Martin, Sting and Elton John.
 * Zweisprachigkeitsbonus - Whatever the "terrorist leader" said before the interpreter told Bruno to get out.
 * Noted because it's really a terrorist leader, and it's a real movie.
 * Apparently not. It seems that Cohen made the whole thing up. They guy is a Christian Charity worker and sued Cohen.
 * Body Sushi: Bruno holds a nantaimori performance with a Mexican man, which disgusts Paula Abduhl.
 * Butt Monkey: Lutz, Bruno's unappreciated and adoring assistant.
 * Camp Gay: Duh.
 * Depraved Homosexual / All Gays Are Promiscuous: The sheer volume of "gays are sex perverts" jokes is enough to make even the most self-deprecating homos feel nauseous.
 * Enforced Method Acting: Like Borat, very little was traditionally scripted and Sacha Baron Cohen literally had to improvise as though his life depended on it.
 * Fan Disservice: The talking penis in the focus group scene.
 * Der Fundamentalist: The gay converter and the Westboro Baptist Church. Made all the more terrifying because it's real.
 * Eine Szene Wunder: Harrison Ford gets one of the biggest laughs in literally two seconds of screen time.
 * Poe's Law: Parts of the film were staged or deliberately misrepresented. Which parts are real which are fake? And does it make a difference?
 * Precision F-Strike: Harrison Ford's cameo.
 * Rated "M" for Manly: Straight Dave, Bruno's alter ego at the end of the film. At least until Lutz shows up.
 * Refuge in Audacity
 * Refuge in Vulgarity: Ohhhhhh booooooy...
 * Diese Verrückten Nazis - Bruno desires to be the biggest Austrian superstar since Adolf Hitler.
 * Zu Früh: Hours before the Los Angeles red carpet premiere, Michael Jackson died, so a scene in which Bruno meets his sister LaToya was cut.
 * Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist: Bruno, to a much greater degree than Borat, who is mostly a well meaning idiot reared in a ridiculous Ruritania. In fact, this is a significant part of the reason the film was not as well-received as Borat or anything involving Ali G, and was specifically mentioned in The Irish Times's review of the film.
