      I think this is the best and simplest interpretation I have seen.
      Like we can't have racist or sexist characters in movies anymore? People like this actually exist. There's nothing wrong with depicting people in movies. It's called acting. It's not there to convince people to be racist. It's there to depict a thing that actually happens.

      Solomon Parker it’s just insane to me that that actually needs to be explained to people lol. It’s kind of the same situation with our statues and history here in the US 🇺🇸, I’m 19 and it really seems like everyone my age doesn’t understand that there was no such thing as “political correctness” before the 21st century. 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.

      Right, Downey was playing an actor who was playing a role (a movie inside a movie). He was making fun of that fictional character who was acting out a role. So he wasn't making fun of black people in any way. He was making fun of a fictional actor attempting to play a black person with makeup.

    I've never found ANYTHING, in Tropic Thunder, to be offensive. It's literally making fun of actors and how they do these offensive things sometimes just for money. Not only that, this is one of the funniest movies of ALL TIME. If not THE funniest. Definitely one of my favorites movies ever. It's timeless and I can rewatch it over and over 😂 props to RDJ for taking the role and doing wonders with it!!

      Yes 👍 when I saw the fake trailers I said to myself: this is too funny, please don’t stop. It took some time till the audience got it but after that it was a laugh fest. Starship Troopers is also a great parody movie. I also saw that in the theater, but it’s harder to get that if you don’t know some history.

It's literally a point in the movie that the people get offended by it. IT'S MAKING FUN OF PEOPLE WHO DO BLACK FACE. Watch the damn movie before throwing accusations.

    If you think about it, this was a massive risk for RDJ.

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.

    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.

      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.

      It’s nothing to do with maturity. It’s the fact that SouthPark is the most “politically correct” show BECAUSE they make fun of everyone. No one is safe and that makes for an almost wholesome level of humor that is almost impossible to find these days.
      When I say “wholesome level of humor” I don’t mean that it’s age appropriate, and I don’t mean that it has educational value (at least not in the conventional way)...it’s wholesome because no one is singled out. No one gets made fun of more than anyone else. Which is why people love that show. It offers people a 30 minute window of escapism where they can laugh at EVERYONE and EVERYTHING....life is too short and full of heartbreaks. Being able to laugh at life in general is a blessing.
