swickles posted:Tropic Thunder worked out ok. Although every black comedian/commentator I have ever heard speak about it basically say the same thing: that it walked such a drat fine line and there was no room for error and the chances of someone pulling that off again is very low. Yes. The context is incredibly specific, and makes the whole exercise an explicit comment on race and representation in film...it's not punching down because the "joke" is really about the delusional and tone-deaf overreach behind Oscar movies. If Robert Downey's character was even remotely trying to say anything real about race, the whole thing would've crash-landed.
