One movie that I recently saw that I was not fond of was Tropic Thunder. This movie featured Ben Stiller, Jack Black and Robert Downey Jr. This movie is about a series of freak occurrences, a group of actors shooting a big-budget war movie are forced to become the soldiers they are portraying. I think that the plot was too "far-fetched". It was very unrealistic and something similar to this could never happen in real life. I also dont think turning a white man to a blakc man was very "ethical". This movie had multiple themes. One of them is to be careful what you wish for. These men just think they are out filming a movie about war and making a lot of money until they find out that they are on the other side of an actual war fighting for their lives against "madmen". Another theme of the movie is to always be on your guard. When the actors first hear the real gun shots they dont know what to do. They are caught so off guard and think nothing of it. After the first shot, the fighters keep firing and then the actors are dis-shoveled and become very scared. The main characters are Tugg Speedman (Stiller), Kirk Lazarus (Downey), and Jeff Portnoy (Black). Speedman is the highest-paid, highest-grossing action star ever with a current reputation of appearing in nothing but box-office hits. Lazarus is the man who portrays himself as an african-american. Portnoy is a drug addicted comedian. The writer is aiming at a funny movie that has a war setting (something that not many people think of). However, this movie is a flop and is way over the top and not as funny as the writer and director were shooting for.
One line from the movie is:
Kevin Sandusky: Tugg. Tugger. You're the last piece of the puzzle buddy. We need you! Your men need you. Are you with us?
Tugg Speedman: [pause] I'm a rooster illusion.
Kevin Sandusky: Fuck it. We'll deal with him later.
Some if these lines from this movie are just immature and not funny.
