"Tropical Thunder" seems to be a lively comedy about making war and teasing fakes, but the real core is the revenge dream of a group of actors who have been in Hollywood for decades. Don't you think? BEN STILL is an outdated action star, working hard, trying to really perform, but only the third world drug dealers like his performance; JACK BLACK is addicted to drugs, the previous films are all peeing, and the audience likes his. "Fart performance", even drug dealers laughed at him; Robert Downey Jr. didn't even know who he was because he was too deep in the play. As an Australian, he was full of black slang. He said: "I'm a dude play a dude(who) disguise another dude!" (I’m a guy who is playing another dude!) The real little black Al has always tried to hide his homosexuality... All the actors have one The stomach is bitter, but at the end of the film, they all solved their problems by themselves.
What about the director, screenwriter, investor, and audience? Well, the conclusion of this film is: "There is no good thing!"
The director in the film, a new British rookie, could not deal with this group of big-name actors. In the end, he listened to the bad ideas of the original author and pulled the filming into the jungle. The first one to hang up. BEN STILLER is the real director of this film. The actors in the film are all Hollywood bastards. Who hasn't encountered the crazy director torturing the actors? When filming "Titanic", the crazy Cameron almost drowned Leonardo. It is estimated that Leonardo at that time also wanted to drown the director, so STILLER let the director be the first in the film. Falling off is also regarded as an outburst for the actors.
The original author in the film seems to be a cool post-war hero. After a long time, he turned out to be a liar. He is a good match for the old man who sang "Blood-Stained Demeanor" in China. I have read the original and never read the script. In addition to self-deprecating, this kind of plot also shows that the actors are unwelcome to the screenwriter. Of course, this kind of hatred is not deep against the director, otherwise the "Futaba" colonel in the final film Nor will I realize and come back alive.
The producer in the film is undoubtedly a tyrant and an object of hatred by the actors. But unlike the director, the actors in the real world are always as mad as the commoners to the tyrants, because the producers are in control of their lives and deaths. Therefore, the producer played by Tommy finally earned 400 million yuan and eight Oscars, and he was alive and well. However, the first time I saw Tom's "subversive" performance, even if it was Tom's dance these few minutes, it was actually worth the price.
The film also avenged the audience fiercely. The only people who can appreciate STILLER's heartfelt performance are a group of ghostly drug dealers. A child audience even moved STILLER to "stay in the enemy camp." As a result, within a few minutes, the situation took a 180-degree turn: the child audience jumped onto STILLER. Scratching and biting, and being thrown into the bush by STILLER, the actors have revenge again.
Therefore, this film is a revenge film, or it can be said to be a film for the actors to entertain themselves. These old drama players use their tempers and dissatisfaction accumulated over the years of work in this film. The ground was solved one by one.
I really didn't expect that STILLER, who has always been acting stupid, has such a great director ability, and he still complies with the old Chinese saying: "I am familiar with three hundred Tang poems, and I will chant if I don't know how to chant poems."
