Tropic thunder It is one of those films that people constantly say “could never be done today”, which is a total crock because 2008 is not long ago, and its humor is still maintained. An exaggerated film inside a film with some of the funniest actors who play some of the worst actors, there are so many things in Tropic thunder That you cannot avoid admiring audacity and simply enjoy it for what it is: a complete farce. As offensive as Tropic Thunder’s Humor can be, the reason why it works so well is because of how pathetic their main characters are, making them the white of the joke.
A movie disguised as another movie
Taking the urine from Hollywood War movies, Tropic thunder It is almost as excessive as it seems. When Damien Cockburn’s (Steve Coogan) Epic War Movie, also named Tropic thunder – It leaves epic of the rails because it cannot control its actors, it is encouraged by Sergeant John “Four Leaf” Tayback (Nick Nolte), the author of the memories on which it was based, based, based, to drop the cast and the team in the middle of the jungle to film the movie “Guera Style”.
What already seems a terrible idea is more exacerbated by the unjustifiably arrogant main actor of the film, Tugg Speedman (Ben Stiller), who desperately needs a victory after a series of box office failures to save his career. Jeff Portnoy, a heroin addict of Jack Black, typically known for his humor based on farts in family comedies, and Kirk Lazares of Robert Downey Jr., an actor of a method who takes his trade so seriously that he never breaks the character, even if he means walking on the black face throughout the production. Completing the cast of soldiers is Keven Sandusky by Jay Baruchel, a naive young actor who turns out to be the only person who reads the script and the source material before filming the film.
Things go exactly as you would expect in Tropic thunder When the actors are launched in hostile territory led by the Dragon Flaming gang, thinking that each meeting they have with the heroin producers is actually part of the film.
It is not a good look for the study
Meanwhile, the Les Grossman Study Executive (Tom Cruise) demands updates as production leaves the rails, while Tugg Speedman agent Rick Peck (Matthew McConaughey), does everything possible so he can access Tivo, as stipulated in the Speedman contract.
Trying desperately to obtain the production of Tropic thunder under control in Tropic thunderLes Grossman disagrees with flames dragons, who have kidnapped Tugg for a strong rescue. They have a change of opinion when he realizes that if the main actor of the project is killed, then he can recover the money he invested in the failed project in the form of life insurance payment.
The main characters are the butt of the joke
Tropic thunderAs offensive as it is, it works very well because its main characters are the target of the joke. Although Robert Downey Jr. was criticized for using the black face, it was not to insult people of color, but to dive into the method acting showing the length of Kirk Lazarus was willing to get lost in a paper. The same can be said of the controversial representation of Tugg Speedman of the simple Jack with mental disabilities, which is destined to be poorly received within Tropic Thunder’s Fiction because it is one of the lowest points of the actor in his career for being so arrogant in his representation of disabled people.
Similar to programs such as Married … with children, Tropic thunder It affects because all their offensive humor is rooted in its characters that are unnecessarily arrogant in their delivery despite the fact that everyone is quite pathetic when you know them. They are destined to be disgusting people, and they are acting exactly as you would expect to act.
