So i was home one day scrolling through the movie channels last week and came across a movie called Bruno!!!! At first i thought it was the one form this year staring Sacha Baron Cohen thinking this is already on cable when i clicked info i soon realized after pushing info that NO... It was not it was another movie that was put out in 2000 when reading all it said something about a boy who got got powers through wearing dresses... i thought this seems interesting so i watched it...
So basically what i got from this movie was that there was this young boy may be around the age from 7 to 9 years old and he lived in a single parent house hold with his mom who had weight issues and an eating disorder eating when mad. His father and mother where no longer together and but he was till in his life ie. when he wanted him to play sports and things like that. This boy was basically a kid genius that be;believed that wearing dresses gave him the power i guess his extreme intelligence.
Because the little boy would wear dresses to school it caused him a lot of problems and it didn't help that he went to a catholic school. in a since his own father disowned him and was ashamed because he wasn't the typical boy that he wanted him to be. The little boys mom allowed him to express him self as he wanted helping him alter dresses and sewing things for him. I thought that it was nice that she encouraged him to do the things that made him happy!!!
Another character who played a significant role in the boys life was his grand mother who was his fathers mother and at first she was the same as the father. It was no surprise that the father acted the way he did towards his son wearing dresses. When he was young he wanted to sing opera and his mom taunted him and verbally calling him a sissy for liking wanting to sing opera so of-course the cycle had continued with him and his son. But never again Bruno being so persistent almost in his own way forced his grandmother to accept him the way he was and when she did that she began to support him teaching him how to fight the little boys who always picked on him at school.
No i don't support violence but if one needs to protect self the one must do just that...... over the course of the movie the young boy won ever spelling bee local, regional, and national with the ending goal to win a chance to go and meet the pope of the catholic church in Europe... not sure what part of Europe though.... oops sorry..... on his way to victory he his story began to get a lot of publicity and attracted a lot of attention some good but mostly bad. Media called threw this boy much shade calling him gay and much much more. People planed protest trying prevent the boy from being allowed in to the church where he would soon claim his victory and win the chance to go and meet the pope.
To think that his dad had turned his back on him when he needed him the most being attacked by his peers and elders. But no he never let that bring him down he knew exactly what he wanted. And in the end just got that.
This movie made me thing and im sure you can relate... Some times parents end up emotionally damaging there children by trying to shape to be who they want them to be. As a child with my self i was always compared to my brother who was in to sports. And he to me in to my education and animals and stuff like that. it seemed as the things that made me happy just wasn't good enough. I feel that parents should put more focus on whats right and wrong and allow there children to develop and the only major influence that they need to do is just lead by example if they just do that there child would be just fine... Just because your child is different doesn't mean that they are less then or not good.
Yes we need guidance but mostly when we need is support in who we are developing into. If you our own parents wont accept us why should any one else?? Well i am just going to end by saying love us for who we are not who you want us to be.... Because we love you for who you are....
I definitely recommend that any and everyone watches it may be you will learn something... I did... Beware!!! May Cause a little tearing....
Sorry readers for such a long entry ill stop here.... Love ya Peace!!!!!
I think you're so right. Parents forget that children should be free to express themselves in a way that makes them feel empowered and like they can conquer the world. It's good that this little boy was able to look over the perceptions of the world and do what he wanted to do. I think that if more people had the courage of this kid the world would be a better place. I just may check this one out homie!
