@@Jiff321 that has nothing to do with being marginalized. Being marginalized is contingent upon system power and oppression. You attempt to paint social pressure as being the equivalent of systemic and legislative pressures, and it is not. Blackface, while despicable, has never been illegal. Joking about a marginalized group, while socially frowned upon (and may come with social ramifications), does not come with any legal distinctions against it. Social pressure toward what is acceptable or unacceptable is how societies function. That is how societies determine what their collective morals and ethics are.

That argument has been used so much lately. Just a few months ago someone asked Mel Brooks if Blazing Saddles could be made today. He said it couldn't be made in the 70's, but they did it anyways.

Roberts role was phenomenally hilarious! Best character of the movie 🤣

[@MagusNethium]

this is one of my fav. movies. the references, the way RDJ is so in-character that even the black guy is telling him " what you mean you people" haha. the whole cast in this movie is legit on point. hope there is a part 2 or something such later on.

Robert downeys playing as a method actor. It’s actually movie meant for comedy, I still laugh at this movie every time I watch it.

“Man, I don’t drop character until I’ve done a DVD commentary.” And if you watch the Tropic Thunder movie with commentary he is IN character the whole time lmao

One of the best comedies in the last decade!

Oh and the satire of the movie Platoon totally was funny because that movie was intense. You mentioned the over acting at the beginning with Ben Stiller getting shot. That was a scene from Platoon. A poetic tragic moment in the movie and they went light with it. Loved this light parody. See ya next time.

I loved "She's Out of My League" starring Jay Baruchel, I think Mary would love it too.

Was going to recommend that myself. :)

rdj in blackface aged beautifully.

I loved Nick Nolte's line read "take 'em of the fucking grid!"

Simple Jack was more than likely a parody of when Cuba Gooding, Jr. played Radio after winning the Oscar for Jerry McGuire. His career kind of tanked after that.

There was actually more controversy over the way Ben Stiller played an actor portraying a man with intellectual disability, more than RDJ in blackface.

Tropic Thunder is one of my one of my favourite movies of all time. The director’s death was unexpected and hilarious. Also Tom Cruise was my favourite part of this film, Les Grossman is one of his most iconic roles. His monologue and threat to Flaming Dragon is the funniest part of the film imo, both parts had me crying of laughter the first time I watched the film.

Ben Stiller is CRAZY talented. You should check out “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty” He starred and directed it as well, and it’s a great film.
