'Bruno': a homophobic and tedious failure of a film : Comments

By Colin Wilson, published 14/7/2009

Film review 'Bruno': dressed up as irony, this caricature of 'gayness' is a boost for the bigots.

How can some posters categorise response to humour as either right wing or left wing? Bizarre!

We really have to get away from this self-defeating ideological stuff that seems to pervade even into areas non-political.

Australia may be a victim to some extent of PC thinking but when it is all said and done we really are a very conservative nation. Even our supposed 'left wing' (ALP) adheres more to the monetarist style with some exceptions, and bows in the main to the interests of big business.

Bruno makes fun of the stereotypes that the ultra-conservatives casts over homesexuality. The only set that might not get it would be of the red-neck variety who may not see the irony.

C'mon gay lefties, don't let these tightarse wowsers woo us into a world of strangling PC values. Take a dump and then have a big belly laugh. Life's too short and the world's in too much of a mess to sit at your computer getting all wound up over a bit of fun-poking at the stereotypes surrounding the world's greatest sexual persuasion.

Fagging funny movie to me, and I'm a straight-looking, straight-acting poofter who's out Yippeeeee ........

There is nothing like a deliberately tasteless comedy to bring out the PC anal-rententive prigs. (PCARP)

The socialist worker online would be the perfect place to find PCARPs.

Sounds like another charming movie you would love to take your kids to. If you were to make a true movie on homosexuality you would have to portray the sad facts of how unhealthy and sad the homosexual lifestyle is. Unfortunately true research on the subject will never be allowed to be published by the secular pc brigade who want to legitimize a very sad lifestyle.

E.Sykes,

'...i wish i could meet some'

Just head down to Newtown. Or the offices of the ABC. Actually OLO has quite a few representatives.
