people confuse RDJ and calling it blackface, it was exploring the absurdity of method acting and making fun of the lengths some actors go to be 'method' and chose the most extreme form to poke fun of it.

[@BajaBCat]

One of the best satirical comedies ever made. A total skewering of Hollywood. Everything works; the casting, jokes, etc., everything.

[@BeardDaddyGames]

RDJ got nominated for an OSCAR for this performance.... Amazing

[@travisbickle1552]

As a Black man that saw this when it came out, i was not offended by the Black Face in the least bit. However, of course I don’t speak for all of us. But for me, it came down to this: The usage of Black Face was acknowledged and served to be an example/spoof, of the ridiculousness of Hollywood actors taking these roles, and that point was reiterated by the character of Simple Jack. The whole movie was a spoof on the “out of touchness”, and cruelty of the industry. I’ve worked in the film/tv biz for over 20 years, so i found this movie hilarious on ALL levels. 😎

I’ve never met one black person offended at RDJ at all for this… and To answer your question, he didn’t get backlash because of the context of the satire, and it was a different time.

[@robhax]

Context matters... RDJ's character was a commentary on/mocking of actors that believe it's ok to do that

[@gugurupurasudaikirai7620]

Downey Jr. was expecting to get backlash for this role but he really didn't. Stiller was actually the one who got some backlash for the Simple Jack thing

[@shainewhite2781]

One of the funniest and craziest action comedy movies ever made!

[@mostaley5049]

Dude I just realized that at the POW camp RDJ was speaking Mandarin like a black dude would, still in character. 😂😂

[@shanecampbell7423]

Fun fact -Robert Downey Jr does do the DVD commentary in character

[@USCFlash]

31:44

[@brettcloud8550]

The shock of "is he playing a black dude?!". Gold 😂

[@robertfalcon6083]

Back then…no real backlash…just nominated for an Oscar lol

[@butkusfan23]

One of the funniest films of all time. So many layers of humor in this movie.

[@kevinpakkala3721]

The thing about RDJ was that he wasn't playing Black Face, he was a satire for all the stupid actors that did that crap for real. It was a mockery and the character was always being called out for it.

[@marcosolo6439]

Fun fact Robert Downy did the dvd commentary still in character

[@brandonhill2183]

" is this supposed to be making fun of tom cruise?"......oh my lord, be ready for what awaits you 😂

[@dwandeanda8927]

Fun fact: the blonde actress who is speaking to Ben Stiller as the horse working guy is his real wife

[@michealwillingham9014]

As a black man I thought this was funny AF

[@joshposada3346]

Y’all thought Robert Downey Jr. did a good job, Tom Cruise stole the show in every scene 😂
