Review of Tropic Thunder (2008) by Filius S — 08 Dec 2015
Tom Cruise is fucking awesome in this!Thought he should've been the one who got the oscar nomination, not Downey. I know it was a small role, but it is the SUPPORTing actor category. Seems like black people should've been more offended by this flick than mentally challenged people with Downey acting the way he does.
Sure, the dialogue about Stiller going "full retard" in his Simple Jack role is offensive, but that's the fucking point. It's a comment on the entertainment industry's insensitive and exploitative nature.
Downey pretending to be a black man may seem unreal, but it has happened before. I mean I loved Scarface, but Al Pacino ain't Cuban.
