Literally EVERYONE was racist, so we as a society would basically have to throw away our whole country to make some of these people “happy” even though they wouldn’t be happy, they’d still find something to complain about. There’s nothing wrong with a little racism in movies or history, it’s actually very beneficial to us especially for the people that believe that racism isn’t a thing anymore.

RDJ wasn’t wearing blackface in tropic thunder. His character was.

As a fellow Black person and as a part of the Black community, we accept Brother Robert Downey Jr. as a part of our community. He did his thang with that role. My granddad acted just like that. I forgot he was White. I don’t know any Black people that was offended by that 😂

Robert Downey, Jr., said something that really struck me. He said what’s in my heart. What’s in my heart. I’ve grown up with a lot of different characters as we all have, and some of them get leeway to do this kind of thing. Why? Because we know what’s in their heart. Because they don’t really want to do harm to anybody. You don’t mess with an actor who cares.

The scene where Tom cruise talks to the terrorists is one of the funniest scenes in movie history.

If you think about it, this was a massive risk for RDJ. His career had taken such a nosedive, and then he was in Iron Man, which, obviously with the overload of Marvel films in theaters, we know how that turned out. But right after Iron Man he was in this, which came out just a couple months later. If it had gone bad (and it really could have), it could have killed his comeback, but instead, it became another huge hit, and RDJ got an Oscar nomination for the part. Yeah, glad he didn't listen to him mom.

The secret ingredient to all of this is the "not taking yourself seriously" angle that everything Mel Brooks (and Tropic Thunder) did. It's a parody. It's a spoof. It's intended to be satire. It didn't try to be something it wasn't. It didn't try to take itself seriously and actually play blackface in a "serious" way. I think society has always had openings for satire and parody. We haven't lost that. Tropic Thunder could easily be made in today's hypersensitive culture, as long as the director/actor/actresses do it with, like RDJ says, "with your heart in the right place." Which means if you approach it like satire and execute it like satire, then it'll nail the message/meaning. You'll never satisfy 100% of people. Offense-taking is unavoidable. But the overwhelming majority of Americans (and the world) still has plenty of heart and stomach for satire. It ain't going anywhere. Mel Brooks is a legend specifically because his life's work was pointing at and poking fun at people who take themselves too seriously. If anything, more satire is needed now. So not only do I think Sgt Lincoln Osiris could be done again in today's culture, it would actually be widely successful directly because of how sensitive culture appears to be atm. Counter-culture will never not be a thing.

This might be a bit out there, but - I think RDJ in this movie is legit one of the best performances of all time. The set up and the meta behind it all and how layered the whole thing is, honestly it’s a magnificent performance and I think deserves an Oscar. Obvs it being a comedy and the style of cinema for TT it was never really win any Oscar, but 100% amazing performance.

I'm glad rdj pointed out the movie is a bashing on Hollywood. He's not playing a black man obviously to mock him it's saying how ridiculously over the top some actors take themselves w/ the over doing of the method acting. Brando of course did it to perfection but unlike some actors like bale he didnt stay in character off shooting. Even though a Christian bale had made a speilberg movie as a child actor & was in newsies when he took on his main stream star making performance in American pycho on the set while shooting he never dropped his American accent so at the end when of shooting bale started talking again in his native English accent & the crew was surprised & confused that he really wasn't an American accented actor.
