Member The Dragon Posted July 16, 2009 Member Share Posted July 16, 2009 ... I'm interested to see what others think of this film as I doubt its for all tastes. Not much. You know, I'm about sick of society passing off dysfunctional and unethical behavior as entertainment in film and cartoons; i.e., Bruno Borat, The Simpsons, South Park, etc. ... Then attempting to show sensitivity toward individuals when an offense happens-"If i-we've offended anyone, our deepest apologies...." What hypocritical bulls#*t!!! The above comments are representative of KFCF member $#@ and not The Dragon. See? :l Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member niro Posted July 16, 2009 Member Share Posted July 16, 2009 I honestly think Sacha Bahon Cohen or watever his name is should have continued with the Ali G persona, that was hilarious. Borat i cringe a lot at, im sure i will cringe a bit at some of the Bruno scenes but no where near as much as with Borat film Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll also wonder how a lot of it got passed for a cinema certificate. Its an awesome, awesome film, on par with Borat but for entirely different reasons.

Guest Markgway Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Haven't seen the film... but read a good article today that questioned Bruno's validity as "cutting edge" satire. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-1200231/TOBY-YOUNG-Its-Bruno-whos-sick-ordinary-people-treats-contempt.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member kungfusamurai Posted July 18, 2009 Member Share Posted July 18, 2009 I thought it was okay, but it's the same movie as Borat. If Sacha Baron Cohen had tried to create this film different from his previous effort, I would have been more impressed. I was laughing, but it was at specific moments. The movie overall feels like Borat-deja vu, right down to the story arc, which involves him going with a sidekick to America to achieve a goal, they have a falling out, and then they make up. Same old same old. KFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member bolofan Posted July 20, 2009 Author Member Share Posted July 20, 2009 Yeah fair enough the plot is the same, but he clearly puts a lot of effort into setting up these situations and he plays of his victims perfectly. I liked the fact that it is downright in your face offensive too. Its amazing to think how warped films have become in the space of 50 years. I'd love to see a film like this shown to a cinema audience in the 1950's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member kungfusamurai Posted July 24, 2009 Member Share Posted July 24, 2009 Unfortunately, Sacha Baron Cohen's approach is like a one trick pony. All three of his characters (he's only been able to come up with three) are the same type of naive individuals who say things that they can get away with because the people he's pranking accept their naivety. And now he has to retire all of his characters because he feels people know them too well. So instead of trying to come up with different material for his characters, maybe a work of fiction rather than a mockumentary, he's throwing in the towel. Tom Green was almost the same, but then he did the hilarious Freddy Got Fingered, so it showed he could do more than just pranks and annoy real people.
