Sooooo everyone sees Bruno as this evil person who predicts the future. I have some thoughts on that though.
First the fish. I know that gold fish can have a life span of 10-15 years usually, but have you ever thought that the fish died because it was old. We don’t know the age of the fish. Also she must have got a new fish because the one she is holding is alive and well (he’s upright until she tells mirabel what Bruno said), unless she kept the fish just to hold a grudge against Bruno and somehow kept it upright to make a point.
Next is the man with the gut. The guy is mourning about the gut that bruno predicted. It’s like he wanted to get bruno in trouble. If someone told you that you were gonna have a gut, then wouldn’t you do anything in your power to prevent it? Obviously he didn’t. Because he’s got one. Technically this one is on him, not bruno.
Finally we have this poor guy. He needs to be cut a break. It happens man. Sometimes people just lose their hair at a young age.
By the way, this isn’t anything more than observations. I absolutely love this song and listen to it at least once a day. WE DONT TALK ABOUT BRUNO!!!
1. Clear out your wardrobe. All you need from now on is one threadbare nightie, maybe a robe. 2. Say it with me: Shoes are for sane people. 3. Shampoo? Not for you. In fact, feel free to adorn your hair with small twigs, dead leaves, or even animal bones. 4. Make-up: You’re going for the red eyes of a demon dog, and the dark circles of an exhausted mother of four. Be sure to accentuate those hollow cheeks. 5. Practice your hysterical cackle and, if possible, adopt a twitch or itch. 6. Do not trust other women. They are out to steal your man (or other object of desire). Instead, befriend inanimate objects. 7. At any given moment, you should be no more than one step away from murder or suicide.
Gilbert & Sullivan: my version of The Plaintiff and The Learned Judge from Trial by Jury. (With and without periwig)
So – in this farcical operetta, The Plaintiff, Angelina, is suing her fiancee for breaching a Promise of Marriage agreement. The presiding judge, referred to as The Learned Judge in the libretto, far from being impartial and exhibiting proper judge behavior, immediately falls in love with Angelina and starts trying to woo her. Thing is – she’s into it. By the end of the show, the wedding’s back on, except now the groom is the Judge himself!
