Comment: There may be a masterpiece of cinema insane? Judging by the end of the last effort of Ben Stiller, Tropic Thunder when it receives the Oscar for best actor, yes. Judging by the quality of the film, too: maybe not for Best Picture, but Best Original Screenplay. Exaggerate? Perhaps, but it is not easy to laugh these days and it takes a liver ... marines to desecrate the most bloody and dirty war that America memories. Tropic Thunder is then concentrated to a bravura actor (Robert Downey Junior leads a stellar cast, with the hysterical Jack Black, the fake-tough and cynical boor Stiller and Tom Cruise, fat and bald) and anti-rhetorical: a film that hides under a deep sense those two hours of laughter fat, and a memory for reflection. It 's a Metafilm, about film criticism and therefore the same production studios, launching a trend that was already losing. The American flag stands on many films made in the USA is so trampled, almost scorned, without fear, because in reality the joke does not cover the true values \u200b\u200bof a nation, but the false gods of a country founded on the construction of myths scimmiottatura and heroism. This is why the plaintiff manufacturer of fables finds himself in a real war and the tragedy here is that simulated becomes pure fear, but also pure laughter, with histrionic approach. A stupid movie? No sir, and the brackets Pirandello ("I play someone who plays a" Robert Downey Junior says at one point) it proves the intelligence. A work that deserves to be seen and reviewed, to laugh, think and take revenge on the abuse of so many blockbusters that are capitalizing on tragedy. And the demented laughter back to the glories of Abrahams and Zucker.
Do not miss: Almost everything. We choose the soundtrack (which does not reveal) and the hilarious original trailer: wink that, unintentionally, Maccio Capatonda and his band (who has youtube, sa).
