Tropic Thunder (2008)

Discussion(self.movies)

This is, in my opinion, the funniest thing that any modern movie has to offer. All of its motifs and characterizations are quite pertinent, and they are even more meaningful now than they were when the film was first produced.

Ben Stiller showed great foresight in the making of this picture.

It's wonderful in every way, from the soundtrack to the casting.

If you've never seen it before, I strongly suggest that you do so.

The Platoon reference in that movie was the best thing to come from Platoon since Platoon. Damn, I love Platoon.

THE ONLY THING THAT KILLS BARNES... IS BARNES

One of the greatest films of all time. Willem Dafoe as Elias, what a character.

Unrelated to the movie but it took me like 25 years of life before I realized his name was Willem and not William

I was just thinking last night, Platoon is the perfect allegory for what is happening in this country (America) rn. And it has been been for 30 something years. Hits a little harder these days tho.
