Not really sure what Cohen got out of the interaction with the agent and why he kept it in the film. After seeing the movie, I figured most everyone was a paid actor. But hearing Mr. Robinson’s back story makes me think, if anyone got duped here, it was Cohen because the agent has no agenda and was honest in his appraisal of Bruno’s talent or rather lack thereof and told him so. If anything, it makes Cohen, instead of Cohen’s character, look pathetic and a bit sad.
Makes the whole movie look like a bad reality show.
On Another Note: If all the situations in the movie were merely staged, as in real people reacting to a weird character, how can anyone claim a writing credit for the film? Maybe an outline credit, but hardly a writing credit.
