      However, actors shouldn't be critized for roles that call upon them to do crazy things. Thats apart of acting, sometimes you have to do something that isn't normal or strays away from humanity.

    Jamie is right cause he wasnt just playing a blk dude. He was an obvious white dude playing a Australian blonde hair blue eyed white dude playing a black dude IN black face. Like you couldn't make that shit up. And he killed it. Literally killed it. When he slapped brandon and the other guys and told them to get they shit together, and his monologue on oppression had me in literal tears. He was in his zone in that movie, and made it hilarious. The opposite of offensive. His role should be studied in acting schools worldwide. Cause the man is a beast at his job. I dont know him personally. But professionally that role earned mad respect from me, cause he didn't half ass it. He went all the way in it. And I know for damn sure a couple uncles he reminded me of. And apparently the black coalition agrees. Ive yet to hear a disparaging comment about it from any side.

      Exactly. Panting your face to mimic a black person is different from blackface. Context and meaning is key. The issue is that 99.9% of the time it's just blackface. The role of Lincoln Osiris was an example of that 0.1 percent.

      @tomatodamashi 2 месяца назад +40

      @@Zerocyde The issue is it isn't the make up that should be considered offensive, it should be the negative portrayal of that ethnic group that should be. If do a blackface routine without the makeup, it would still be offensive. If you did a serious role grounded in respect and love with the makeup, it shouldn't be.

      Yes, yes it is bad. It is bad because those rolls should be actually played by black actors. Why do they have to dress up somebody usually a white actor or actress to play another ethnicity or race when you can just go get that ethnicity or race? Stop playing. There is no other race that Black people can be turned into and portray on the screen that would be considered believable by the audience.
      So please do some cinema research and history about blackface and where it derived from and how it’s still going on today. So again it’s very very bad.

    When my wife, and I first watched Tropic Thunder. She went to do something in the kitchen. Warming up pizza, or what ever. She ended up missing the fake opening credits, and a few other scenes. She came in during the scene where Stiller got his hands blown off, and he couldn't cry. As the movie went on she got more, and more pissed. She only wanted to watch the movie to see RDJ. She kept saying "When the hell is RDJ gonna show up?" After like the 5th time of her saying this I told her "RDJ has been in almost ever scene so far" She didn't know he was the black guy until he did the I'm a dude playing a dude disguised as another dude. And then he broke the mirror, fell on the floor, and took his wig off. Her face! That was the funniest thing every.

    Baby I’m Black Black from the Deep South! In the movie Tropic Thunder, RDJ played a Australian man who was a serious method actor who was playing a role of a black man. Robert NEVER played a black man, he’s never said anything racist, he’s never come against black people! The reason why the black community never came for him, is because we understand the freakin plot of the movie! I’ve watched Tropic Thunder so many times and it’s one of my top 3 favorite movies from Robert Downey Jr. You can NEVER make me hate him!

An actor so committed to the role that he’s willing to do blackface without seeing any issue with it even when getting called out by a black person. An actor so invested in his characters that he forgets who he actually is.

      Yes and the fact that his character who stepped way over the line in Tropic Thunder realistically and appropriately got major called out from his furious black co star in the film they were making that he deserved helped too. The filmmakers said the intention of that confrontation was to openly address and gave voice to that anger and criticism so it left none to be given by anyone else .Then there was also that characters emotional breakdown later that added a depth to and sympathy for the character . The role was a comedic satire on overly serious method actors and not a racist statement which was made clear. This distinction made all the difference of why RDJ got raves and not blowback for that role .

      @Johnnymize86 you might think he's overrated as a comedian. But that wasn't what this comment was about. He said he's the best impersonater. And he's definitely top 1 or 2. Affion Crockett is the only one that can compete with him.

      He was a parody of actors taking it too far when taking roles. He was not playing a black man, he was playing a white actor playing a black man. Him getting backlash for that would be ironic.
