12. Tropic Thunder [Dir. Ben Stiller]

The movie they think they're making... isn't a movie anymore.

Tropic Thunder on IMDB

“Estuvimos riendo de principio a fin, tiene tantas referencias a la cultura pop contemporánea que si parpadeas te pierdes algo. Me gusto el ritmo, las situaciones y cómo decidieron auto-parodiarse [los actores].“

["La enseñanza que le deja Robert Downey, Jr. -en fully-african-american-gear- a Ben Stiller sobre cómo interpretar personajes de necesidades especiales define lo brillante de este guión.]

Check it out. Dustin Hoffman, ‘Rain Man,’ look retarded, act retarded, not retarded. Counted toothpicks, cheated cards. Autistic, sho’. Not retarded. You know Tom Hanks, ‘Forrest Gump.’ Slow, yes. Retarded, maybe. Braces on his legs. But he charmed the pants off Nixon and won a ping-pong competition. That ain’t retarded. Peter Sellers, “Being There.” Infantile, yes. Retarded, no. You went full retard, man. Never go full retard. You don’t buy that? Ask Sean Penn, 2001, “I Am Sam.” Remember? Went full retard, went home empty handed
