how did tropic thunder get away with blackface

[Mantis Toboggan M.D.]

I forgot how funny RDJ was in this. All the simple Jack stuff. Damn near every line of his is a quotable. All his little facial expressions too. This seriously got nominated for a major award? The best part is he legit didn't drop character until doing the commentary. Stays in character all through that too

 

[Xerces]

He had me rolling!...

I think socially, T. Jackson made it acceptable....But man...that was a hilarious role

That man is a national treasure

For 400 years dat word has kept us down



That whole scene had me dying

All my boys got the joke. only on this site have i ever heard a brother have an issue with it. Is this the one place where everyone missed the joke?

This whole site is just an alternate reality where nothing makes sense.

 

[Dominoes]

Never watched the movie, just heard about the blackface shyt.


It's telling to see how smart and aware non-Black people can be about racism and history when they choose to be

Now include the alternate reality of SOHH and this will make sense.

 

[BulletProof]

It was satire.

"I don't read the script. The script reads me."

"What the Hell does that even mean?"

Funny movie.

I remember listening to the commentary of this movie just to see if RDJ still stayed in character which he did

I remember this being a special feature on the dvd also

Bret, i did the same shyt. listened to the commentary for that sole purpose and was dying the entire time. and as soon as the credits rolled, he went right back to RDJ mode.

I rewatched this movie last night. I was legit dying . RJD and Cruise murked it

 

[YakSpiller]

shyt will be a future cult classic.

Watch this shyt every time its on...

 

[DosCadenaz]

It reminded me of how Hollywood is always whitewashing roles n it's tough for a black actor to get roles. They gave a black role to a white actor. They did it in a way that worked 100% and RDJ murdered it.

 

[Dre Space Age]

I need to hear the dvd commentary

 

[Dre Space Age]

Yooo wtf is this?

 

[Dre Space Age]

Lol he risked his entire career for this movie
