Is it premature to be calling Bruno offensive?

I dont know about you blokes but to have people say that the film Bruno is offensive, before they've seen it, before most people have seen it, to me seems premature.

No.

The reality is all comedy massly produced these days have many elements one could find offensive. I guess vulgarity sells.

It's supposed to be offensive. That's the whole friggin point.Taylor_B

films are usually made to be controversial when their writers/directors cant bother coming up with a real story

If you are way to sensitive and really need to shut up and grow up then yes go ahead and call it offensive. I applaud sacha Baron Cohen for what he is doing, while borat was not as good as the ali gi show it still had moments. People really need to stop being so overly sensitive. Nobody cares if you are offended, why do you have to announce it? If you want to film to not be released and you are really offended then dont see it. Nobody is making you see it.

Oh please, comedy thrives on making fun of people and society in general. There is nothing bad about that, just look at guys like George Carlin.

Its not offensive, the idea is that you find the reactions of the people seeing him funny. Hes not being offensive cos you know hes supposed to be over the top.

I'm addressing overly sensitive people in general not you. I dont get why people have to announce how offensive they find something and try to take away the enjoyment that many people will get from it just because they find something offensive. Its pathetic, its immature and I just dont understand it. Do offended people who write these kinds of articles or people who say that a movie shouldnt be released really think that we give a crap about their opinion? If a movie offends you then good im glad it did, now please kindly be offended in silence rather than be a jerk and announce it to a world that doesnt care about your BS.

I find it sad that we need to laugh at other people's misfortune for our entertainment.

I have no desire to see it, so it wont bug me.

I find it sad that you think people shouldnt laugh at others misfortune. Anything can be funny in the right context, you just have to have a open sense of humor. What so bad about laughing at others? I have heard some awfully insensitive jokes like Michael Jackson jokes, 9/11 jokes, holocaust jokes, you name it. I dont like them alot of the time, but I dont think people shouldnt make them. Some people also cope with tragedy with humor.

BTW, exactly what group of people is the movie supposed to be offensive to?

All of Sacha Baron Cohen's previous characters have been offensive to many, so I guess you can't expect this to be any different.

I wouldn't start criticising it already though ... I miss Ali G :cry:

I hope it gets more media attention than Borat. People need to chill.

They can't complain everything comedy is offensive in my opinion.

It is but then again its making him quite a bit of money.
