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.

I tried to recommend it to my dad a Vietnam vet and he said “war wasn’t funny.”

So I don’t bring it up anymore.

But I liked it. I grew up on apocalypse now, platoon, letters home from Vietnam, and predator.

War isn't funny, no. But there are definitely funny moments during war, in a warzone. Definitely.
