Fun Fact: Robert Downey JR does in fact stay in character during the DVD Commentary for the movie.
Lol that’s cool. I never listen to the commentary so I may get my copy out and watch again.
He switches to the Aussie accent as soon as his name appears during the credit sequence.
John Glue and he changes characters as his role does
Tropic Thunder and Armageddon are the best DVD commentaries Ben Affleck discussing the stupidity of Armageddon’s plot
D.... V.....D. ?????
When they played this in theatres, they went straight from the real movie trailers into the fake ones with no warning. It was glorious. You immediately knew you were in for something special.
I remember that so vividly hahaha it was amazing
Oh wow I wish I'd seen that in theatres. That's genius
that shit was funny, people in my theater didn't immediately realize that the actual movie was playing. People were still talking over the trailers and laughing at their shittiness like they were real, and then the slow realization hit.
I went into this movie high as a kite with no idea what my friends dragged me to.
It wasn't until the end of Jack Black's fake trailer that it finally clicked that all this was parody and I knew I was in for a great ride.
It was epic
The fact that at some point in the movie, Robert Downey Jr, an American actor, played the role of an Australian method actor, playing the role of an African-American soldier, disguised as a Vietnamese farmer... SHOLD NOT BE FORGETTEN. There's no question that had it not been for Heath Ledger's amazing Joker, RDJ would've won the Oscar for best supporting actor that year. Personally, my favorite comedic performance of all time.
Reminds me there's a Daffy Duck cartoon where he plays an Irish detective doing an Irish accent, then does an impression of an old Chinese woman within the Irish accent.
@@themoviedealers Man I gotta look that up
@@themoviedealers Can you put a link for that clip down here if you happen to find it ?
Act-ception
The only other comedic performance this legendary was Robin Williams performance as Mrs Doubtfire.

@Studio Autio alpha: "what do YOU mean, you people?"
@@quick2bud You forgot the part where RDJ is already playing a dude. He is "a dude playing a dude playing a dude disguised as another dude, pretending to be another dude".
"I want fat hands and I want to dance." An actual quote by Tom Cruise when he read the script and created Les Grossman. LEGEND!
I heard Ben Stiller in an interview say that Cruise called him and said he had dreamed the hairy hands & "Popeye" arms.
I didn't recognize him :)
As a black man I 100% support Tropic Thunder and love this movie. Robert Downey Jr was hilarious in his role and is playing a white blonde hair blue eyed Australian actor who thinks it’s ok to do black face. Totally different than casting a white actor in a black role, or a white actor trying to pass as black. We know the character is white and are introduced to him as white. The comedy is that he thinks it’s ok because he’s a crazy idiotic actor and wants to dive into a role and Jr plays it perfectly. Definitely deserved his Oscar nom.
💯
Having a real black man call him out during the movie also helped. The Alpa Chino character kept it grounded
What would BLM make of it?
anthony patterson people were making noise about this a few months back.
We don’t care if you’re black or if you’re offended
I'm a dude seeing a dude reacting to another dude
Dude!
...disguised as another dude.
@@gurugulab1414 disguised as an another dude
😂😭😂😂😂
I love knowing that Tom Cruise only took this role if he could create his character after reading the script.
"I want fat hands and I wanna dance!!"
Les Grossman best tom cruise role ever.

"I want fat hands, and I'm gonna dance."
Tom Cruise said this to Ben Stiller when he was asked to play the part.
Stiller was just like "What?" but immediately understood what he was going for when Stiller added the background music to him dancing.
Cool story. Pity it's not accurate.
@@NefariousPorpoise you were there?
@@NefariousPorpoise ruclips.net/video/Sa-ch8H_5DE/видео.html
Tom Cruise mentions it on an interview
@@NefariousPorpoise you don't know what you're talking about
NefariousPorpoise Tom Cruise literally told the story in an interview. Don’t talk if you don’t know what you’re talking about.
When Robert Downey Jr. says "I don't drop character till the DVD commentary" he wasn't lying he did the whole commentary in character with Ben Stiller and Jack Back. Hands down the funniest commentary I've ever heard. 🤣
RDJ did in fact get an Oscar nomination for this. He understandably lost to Heath Ledger for The Dark Knight but still.
Understandably? That's debatable.
@@30noir It's completely understandable
@@30noir i feel the exact same way.
Tom Cruise danced at the mtv awards in character
and it was amazing...a true sight
That was dope.
Actually tom cruise requested to be fat in this movie and dance too.
I used to not like tom cruise but.. idk he seems like an okay guy.
Yeah this is what Tom Cruise had to say about it:
"I said [about the script], 'This is fun.' I said, 'Do you mind Ben? I want to play this character. I want to have fat hands and I want to dance.' And he looked at me; he was like, what? I remember Ben and [saying] 'No, no. Ben. I want fat hands. And I'm gonna dance.' He said, 'Look, are you sure? Why don't you just be you.' I said, 'No, no, no. I'm sorry man. I don't know how else to play this character.' So then I did the makeup test and we tested the fat hands and the whole look. So, we were doing the wardrobe and there was no music and I was just like, 'Look, I want to do some moves for you.' So I just started working on Les. He picked the music out, he edited it together, he was just pissing himself."
Oh my gosh that makes it so much better 😂
@@ineffablemars He's got some weird beliefs and all, but as a person and an actor, he seems like an okay dude. He definitely gives ever role 150%.
"I want fat hands, and I want to dance."
It is worthy to note that RDJ did get nominated for an Academy Award for this movie.
Ben Stiller directing, writing, and starring just makes this his best piece of work for that fact alone.
Yeah, and people don't talk about that enough. They're always mentioning RDJ or Tom Cruise, but Stiller is the reason this movie exists.
Dude is a genius. And I agree with the statement above. People need to give dude credit. He's been one of the best comedic minds for decades
It's actually insane to think that Ben Stiller wrote and Directed "The Cable Guy" Staring Jim Carrey back in 1996!
“For 400 years, that word has kept us down.” Man RDJ was so good in this one.
This movie makes my eyes rain 🌧
😂😂
I love how the first scene plays on the Hollywood movie and industry tropes, Scorcher is the the uninspired sequel franchise that releases every year, The Fatties are a jab at cliche forms of comedy with fart jokes and fat jokes, pretty much taking a jab at Eddie Murphies Professor Klump, and of course Satans Alley represents the Oscar bait pretentious film that touches on a sensitive topic that more likely wins the Oscar every time😂
all of brandon's videos: exploring deep plot points and character motivations in some of the most famous movies of all time.
This video: hehe he said suck my unit.
😂😂
The Jack Black character was a parody of Eddie Murphy and movies like The Klumps.
So Black was parodying a Black man...
@@flatebo1 Also Tyler Perry. So......two black men.
@@krisreilly8856 Well, he's certainly large enough to fit two black men in there.
The Nutty Professor specifically.
You’re right, Brandon, Robert Downey Jr. kills it in this. What a summer he had with this and “Iron Man” back in 2008. He was nominated for an Academy award for best supporting actor as well. He didn’t win but he deserved the nomination. Oh, Ben Stiller is friends with Tom Cruise, so I believe he just asked him to be in it. Glad you enjoyed it.
Yeah, he lost to the posthumous academy award to Heath Ledger for The Dark Knight.
Don't forget The Dark Knight. 2008 brought its A game.
Downey has done things in the 80s, Chaplin and this. Probably the most wasted talent in Hollywood next to Depp.
2008 is the year of the greatest comeback in history for a Hollywood actor. A guy who for over 5 years was getting arrested for drugs and was one more bust from going away for a long time in prison and who had to fight his way back into the good graces of Hollywood. He played it smart and stuck with smaller semi independent movies and then Iron Man came along and he was a star again but this time even bigger getting nominated for an Oscar for this movie.
Look up Tom Crooze MTV movie awards.
The scene where Stiller talks to Downey saying he didn't want to be rescued is a parody of Brando in Apocalypse Now...
There's also a parody of Willem Defoe in Platoon when Tug is being shot a million times.
I don't break character until dvd commentary 🤣🤣
Hahaha bro hell YESSSS! "I don't read the script, the script reads me!" haha yeah this is going to be an iconic watch I can already tell! xD
I follow your channel bro. I’m an aspiring filmmaker and a lot of your insights and breakdowns are really interesting and makes me think about my own perspective about films and stories. Keep posting!
Haha hope you enjoy my friend!
Good to see you here James hahaha
James with the comment!!!!
Yooo 2 of my favorite film commentary channels.
"Chaplin" is another movie where audience may watch RDJ's truly incredible acting skills
Anvar Yusupov Fantastic movie and performances.
and Natural Born Killers
He was so good in that. He was nominated for a Best Actor Oscar that year, but he and Eastwood, Stephen Rae, and Denzel Washington all lost to Pacino for Scent of a Woman.
I agree ! that movie flew under the radar but he was dope in it
Try one of his early performances in Less Than Zero. Incredible.
Robert Downey Jr. is really good in the movie, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. You should watch it.
Absolutely full on agree here.
He was excellent in Zodiac
You have to watch "The nice guys", starring Russel Crowe and Ryan Gosling!!! It's an absolutely underrated movie!! The best comedy movie with hell of a plot twists and turns!!!
Seen that one 😁
I dunno, for its length it wasn't funny as fuck and stuff..
Awesome movie!
@@d.-_-.b Well guys, he spoke, it's a bad movie..
R.I.P. 😔
One of the few movies that made me laugh out loud in a movie theater multiple times, primarily Robert Downey Jr's insane "method acting" and Tom Cruise doing his over the top parody of Harvey Weinstein.
Same.
Not Harvey Weinstein, it's his producer friend.
It's actually Joel Silver he's parodying. I've met Silver and he truly is that asshole.
@@DaviniaHill Nobody can be 100% sure, but here is a break down that makes a convincing argument for Weinstein, especially the stuff about the Diet Cokes: toughguydigest.com/2017/10/10/did-tom-cruise-base-his-tropic-thunder-character-on-harvey-weinstein-tgd-says/

"Could you, uh, find out who that was?" after shouting a string of death threats is my favorite line in the movie.
Tom Cruise based his character off of Harvey Weinstein! atleast thats the rumor
Joel Silver actually
@@buddyrevell5885 scott rudin too many fit the role
I haven’t seen this movie since it came out and just noticed Bill Hader was in it?!?! I loved his show Barry, definitely a recommendation for you!
I would love to see him watch Barry!! It's a brilliant show and I love Bill Hader
It's unfortunate you haven't seen "Platoon" yet. That scene early on with Ben Stiller getting shot 1000 times is a parody of a scene in that movie.
I thought he would get it for sure , also im pretty ben stiller arguing with rdj towards the end of the movie is a reference to apocalypse now
i just realized ben stiller wanting to stay at the village and act is a mock of apocalypse now 😂
Fantastic movie, I hope he watches it.
Yeah, I thought the same thing. is it possible to take the original scene seriously after this?
@@vanyadolly For me it is. The emotional impact of that scene still gets me when i watch it.
"He ain't playing God! He's bein judged by him..."
The line that made me piss my pants!!!🤣🤣🤣
“Is that what Christoper McQuirre has to do with him on the M:I movies”
LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YO STOP
Robert Downey Jr. - to quote the movie - “Should have got Oscar.”
Heath ledger won the oscar that year.
RDJ was nominated for an Oscar for this movie. I think he lost to Heath Ledger.
Heath Ledger did the best Joker ever so was pretty impossible for him to win :/ but we know that acting was amazing
@@TuriusRay pheonix was better for sure
@@chilidog3518 Are you crazy? Phoenix didn't even did a Joker, he did a great acting but not the Joker
@@chilidog3518 Pheonix was good, Ledger was infinitely better though .
@@TuriusRay Agreed
Yeah, Robert D Jr was freakin' phenomenal in this.
One of the last truly brilliant comedies ever made. This level of meta commentary and intelligence within an action-comedy is something that just can't exist anymore it seems like.
Kiss kiss bang bang is the intelligent underrated beginning of rdj’s comeback. So entertaining and funny.
Yeah, I love that movie. There’s a great supporting performance by Val Kilmer, too.
True story, I saw this movie like 3 times before I realized that was Tom Cruise🤣🤣🤣
Haha nice 😂
I saw the end credit tom cruise name pop up and asked, when was tom cruise part not realizing hes dancing on the screen hahahaha
That's how I felt about Interview with a Vampire. I didn't realize it was him. In my defense I was young.
I was scrolling through my feed looking for a video to watch, complaining that there were no good options, and then your video popped up! Such perfect timing! ❤️❤️
Great timing indeed 😁 hope you enjoy!
And then he went back to Ethan Hunt to varying degrees of success.
John Toll was the DoP on this film. He has shot films like Legends of the Fall, Braveheart, The Thin Red Line, and The Last Samuari to name a few.
That's why its shot really well.
The Thin Red Line is one of my favorite shot films. Even though its a long movie; I would recommend watching it, if you haven't already.
Thin red line is so under rated! The only reason I've only watched it a handful of times is because of it being a bit of a serious time investment to take it all in 😅
"A Fish Called Wanda" (1988) would be a great comedy movie for your channel. Kevin Kline was not only nominated for an Oscar, he actually won!
I always forget he won for that! Such a good movie.
Tom Cruise is at his best when they allow him to go full ham. For other examples of hammy Tom Cruise, watch A Few Good Men or Knight and Day.
His performance was so unexpected in this 😂
Kight and day definitely is a good comedy. Not over the top and contains your average tom cruise action sequences. Loved watching it in the movie theaters
Knight and Day is a great homage by Tom Cruise to his own action career. Plus it's actually a fun well done film.
@@thedudebryan98 Knight and Day is maybe not the most amazing thing, but it is a really enjoyable Action and Comedy flick, the chemestry between him and Cameron Diza is what makes the whole thing works, its just brilliant.
@@Mugthraka definitely man. It's a great popcorn film enjoyable characters and great comedy. It's really an underrated tom cruise film.
The introduction of the "actors" always reminds me of Last Action Hero. I think that movie is underrated.
hell yea people hated on it
I feel people just didn't get it, how clever Last Action Hero was. The trailers made it seem like a pretty generic action movie, and It also was against Jurassic Park at a time when people seemed to go to one movie a season and no more.
Great movie!
This movie was one of the funniest to come out of the 2000s. 2008 to be exact. And yeah that year was awesome when it came to movies.
This is one of the most slept on comedies ever. Truly up there with the best
When this was in theaters a lot of people didn’t know that was Tom Cruise until the end credits
Which is odd because his voice is do noticeable
@@paulelroy6650 which I did pointed out when I watch the movie the first time, but I thought nah it couldn't be Tom.
hell yeah, cause if i remember correctly he wasn't listed in the trailer when it first came out, i remember just going to see it on a whim, boy was I glad I went.
I was one of those people.
I find it very hard to believe anybody was that stupid.
The only time a TiVo actually did something meaningful.
😂
This movie is golden, its timeless and can never be canceled.
This movie is the closest I have ever come to actually pissing myself laughing. This goes way beyond comedy... so far beyond that it actually circles back and becomes comedy again, which is the ONLY reason it actually works. Because it is so ridiculous and over the top. Very few movies have the balls to actually do this. :D
Imagine you're Tom Cruise and Ben Stiller, Jack Black, Robert Downey Jr, Bill Hader, and everyone freaking else in this movie shows up and tells you what they are doing. Willing to bet Tom was dying laughing and instantly agreed.
Zoolander and Zoolander 2
One of my childhood favorite movie they honestly need to make something close to this. And when Robert Downey jr was asked about black face in this movie he said it wasn’t him. He was playing the Australian actor playing black face. Smart way around the question.
IM THE DUDE PLAYING THE DUDE DISGUISED AS ANOTHER DUDE!! LOL!
The only thing that makes that line even better is that he is a dude playing the dude that says that line.
"I don't read the script the script reads me."
A movie I recommend is 'In Bruges' it's got comedy and well written.
I'm just here for the Les Grossman reaction.
Lately the most memorable thing about this movie is some guy tweeting that he scoured the internet looking for an apology from RDJ and was appalled that he hadn't for doing "black face". Makes me love the movie even more.
I remember going to go see The Dark Knight for the 3rd time and my brother saying to watch Tropic Thunder instead. I’m glad we decided to see it. Everyone in the theater was laughing so hard. One of the best theater experiences, I’ve ever had.
If you haven’t seen it I’d recommend Pineapple Express
GARBAGE
@@Rathanatosis trippinggg
Stupid weed movie. Big Lebowski on the other hand is amazing
@@futurereflections4097 that’s just like your opinion man
I would recommend "Crazy, Stupid, Love" for comedy, such a hilarious movie!
Saw that a long time ago and remember liking it! Need to revisit it
Along those lines of the rom com you also have The Five Year Engagement
@@ColinPoole I hated that film.. maybe I need to watch it again.
Oh man Tropic Thunder is one of my all time favorite comedies.I love the absurdity of it all. Burn After Reading is another great one.
I believe Ben Stiller decided the movie based on actors claiming that going to the actor's Boot Camp was the same as regular Boot Camp. He had ideas concerning actors having PTSD flashbacks to remember that they didn't have catering. This is also one of the best parodies to be made in... forever. And Robert Downey, Jr. was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for Tropic Thunder. He lost to Heath Ledger for The Dark Knight. I think Tropic Thunder would be a fantastic double feature with Galaxy Quest. If you haven't seen that... dude, by Grapthar's Hammer...
Some movies to consider (if you haven't watched them yet): "Tombstone," "Good Morning Vietnam," "3:10 to Yuma (2007)," "True Grit (2010)," "The Big Lebowski," "Kingpin," "Unforgiven," "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly," "Apollo 13."
Yes! True Grit is fantastic! A great film by the Coens that you could take your daughter to for some true female empowerment.
@@andrewreisinger6860 I would love for him to watch Good Morning Vietnam and the Big Lebowski
YEEESSSSS He should watch Tombstone for sure. It’s such a good movie.
You’re are literally the best reactor I’ve ever seen on RUclips and you choose literally ALL my favorite movies, this is literally on my top 5 favorite comedies
That means a lot Austin! So glad you're enjoying the videos 😁
He thanked you Austin, literally!
This is a comedy with an exceptionally great cast/performances. Downey is the obvious (he got a much deserved Oscar nomination for the role), Cruise is the real shock performance, but I'm gonna throw some love in for Matthew McConaughey. He was hysterical and on point as the suck up agent doing anything for his client.
You must see Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang. One of the best clever comedies of the 2000's, and Robert Downey Jr. and Val Kilmer are a fantastic duo in it.
Wow, it's funny that you picked up on Tom Cruise immediately-- his involvement was kept very secret until the premiere. Back in '08, most people in the theatre were completely unaware that it was him under that makeup and fat suit until his name appeared in the end credits... needless to say, our minds were completely blown. But then again, it's so obvious that it was his voice, mannerisms and facial features. Kinda unbelievable that many of us didn't recognize him.
But yea, surprised to see this movie being reacted to. Enjoyed this very much! Also, some legendary comedies to watch are:
Mike Judge's OFFICE SPACE
Mike Judge's IDIOCRACY (watch after Office Space) - -basically Mike Judge predicting our current society back in 2006
TOOTSIE
BLAZING SADDLES
SOME LIKE IT HOT
THE APARTMENT
The latter 4 were nominated for and won multiple Oscars.
Thanks so much for all the recommendations!
@@BrandonLikesMovies Oh, also GROUNDHOG DAY and THE ODD COUPLE (the original 1968 movie, not the TV series).
You should watch A Fish Called Wanda, one of the funniest films I've ever seen, and a rare case of an actor actually winning an Oscar for a purely comedic role.
When Ben stiller came to talk to Tom cruise about his role Tom was like I’m down but I want fat hands and I want to dance lol there is an interview of him talking about it pretty hilarious
4:00, a spoof of the movie, Platoon! Lol! THAT movie won 4 Oscars including Best Picture. Its based on true events on Director Oliver Stones Military Career in Vietnam.
ah shit Platoon is so good man
@@deg1studios In addition to Platoon, there are also multiple satirical references to Apocalypse Now ("fast movers" & washing his head right before he says he is "already home"), Hamburger Hill (guts hanging out & "ain't nothing but a thing"), and Hearts of Darkness (a "making of" documentary about Apocalypse Now - ref Tropic Blunder). I wonder if Brandon has ever watched any of these classic war movies.
i'm seriously impressed you recognized it was Cruise off the bat. i didn't realize it was him until the credits rolled, then the light went off above my head, lol.
RDJ's "👁👄👁 sURvIvE!" cracks me up every time.
Danny Devito callsigns I LOVE how you do that I swear its gold.
I just laughed when I seen the thumbnail notification
Haha off to a good start then!
Search up some Tom Cruise interviews about this movie. Ben sent the script to him just to get his feedback about it. Tom came up with the entire story line of his character. He said the producer role was missing from the story. He came up with the idea for the fat hands, bald head and dancing. Very creative!
“I’m a lead farmer, motherfucker!” absolutely killed me the first time I saw this movie.
Best part is when the director blows up from the land mine and all of them stand there shocked and confused, hilarious movie!
Such a good moment 😂
Literally just found out RDJ got an Oscar Nom for this 😂😂
You should react to “This Is The End”
And Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead. The Cornetto Trilogy!
Yesssssss one of my favorite movies ever!!’ Especially if you like celeb cameos.
NO F THAT! react to the world's end
That movie makes me laugh so damn much.
This might be my favorite reaction of yours so far. My cousins and I used to have the whole movie memorized as kids we loved this movie so much
Kenneth Branagh’s “Hamlet,” the ultimate “who isn’t in this” movie
Oliver Stone's JFK.
Such a fun movie..Glad you’re doing this
You also need to watch Apocalypse Now & Platoon now. So many inside jokes referencing those movies here..
My recommended Comedy: "The Big Lebowski".
Didn't catch Tom Cruise was playing Harvey Weinstein "Grossman"
He was actually paying a futuristic version of the ex NFL QB Rex Grossman.
He was awesome in this. I didn't even recognize him at first. Over all just a great performance by the entire cast.
imagine seeing those intro preview trailers in a movie theater right after the real previews. it was so fucking confusing. bit of genius that's lost when you see it out of theaters.
That would've been so confusing to see in theaters haha
True story: there was a guy who dated a friend's sister, we always tolerated him during the length of that relationship, but he was a dumb jock who appreciated sophomoric humor a little too much. After they saw this at the theater, he kept saying tropic thunder was stupid (he wasn't clever enough to get it), but couldnt stop talking about the trailer for the new jack black movie he wanted to see. Became an inside joke for years.
One of my favorite comedies, with a great story, is A Fish Called Wanda. Hilarious.
Thank you for watching this! Ive been googling reactions for it every few months since forever. And at last I found you. And damn, you''re one of the best reactors I've seen! Keep it up!
I always saw the characters as:
Tugg- the action star who wants to be serious, but doesn't really know how. When he tries, it's a miss
Kirk- the method actor who believes they can play ANY character (no matter race, gender, sexuality) without repercussions
Jeff- the comedian who wants to be taken seriously, but isn't because he's supposed to be the "funny man"
Alpha- the musician/rapper who's trying to get into acting, could also be there to promote something of his/her's
Kevin- the wide-eyed newbie actor who's excited to be in Hollywood and does everything right (reads the script, learns the history, etc.), but realizes that the more seasoned actors don't do the same
It's a really interesting take on how Hollywood is while also making fun of them too. The whole cancel culture thing that happened earlier this year was really stupid and shows how most of my generation (gen-z) looks for things to be mad at without really looking at the whole picture.
RDJ actually does the DVD commentary in character. It's hilarious!
Such a good movie
One of the last great theatrical comedies. We've gone through a dry spell the last 5 years or so!! Also, you should watch Barry with Bill Hader. One of the best shows on TV currently
Barry is also another great show for 'inside jokes' about acting.
Haven’t seen this in forever I’m watching it tomorrow! Great video! Love your takes on these movies
RDJ got an oscar nom for this role
Yay, blackface 🥰
Bruh this movie was part of my childhood
I'm excited for/jealous of you for getting to watch this for the first time now. It's one of my favorites for so many reasons. It's enjoyable on more levels than almost any other movie that I can remember. Love your reactions, keep it up.
Dude, you have a knack for picking all my favourite movies and series. Best reaction channel by far!
It’s a very unique film. They couldn't even come close to making something like this nowadays. The jokes wouldn't land as well, they wouldn't get the funding and it would most likely ruin many careers. It has so many iconic lines, iconic performances and mocks so many films.
I doubt it would ruin careers. But jokes not landing as well I agree
This is literally the one movie my best friend and I can quote word for word
Brandon, I think that's my favorite reaction from you so far! Really glad you chose this movie!
Fake Black Man: What do ya mean, "you people?"
Real Black Man: What do YOU mean, "you people?"
Gotta love this movie for its balls in handling such delicate topics! There's no subtlety, but at the same time, it's not insensitive to the real issue. RDJ is playing an actor who is a racially-insensitive asshole and it doesn't sugarcoat that. He's a fancy-pants knobend who thinks his acting career allows him to fuck with racial stereotypes and that's why its so fucking hilarious. We're supposed to laugh at him, not with him.
Gross its a fuccking movie, i don't MAD at white people play NATIVE AMERICAN's
RAcist mind
