    I don’t know how people got that take from Tropic Thunder when they explicitly make reference inside the movie to how messed up and wrong it was. Like, that was the joke. RDJ was playing a character so full of himself that took method acting to it’s extreme. Am I missing something? Id love to be educated

      No, you’re right. RDJ’s role on that movie was a joke/commentary about both method acting and black face.

      No, you’re not, people are taking good intentions too far like usual. The entire joke of that character was that he crossed the line
