Marlon Brando: Hollywood Rebel isn't your typical biography. It's instead a fascinating and in-depth examination of Brando's cultural impact, and not only on film acting. He was the first major actor to acknowledge his same-sex experiences, to undergo and promote psychoanalysis, and the first "celebrity activist." Read my review at the New York Journal of Books.

Would "Tropic Thunder" Still Get Made Today? Imagine a film featuring an American actor portraying an Australian method actor, who in turn plays an African American character, all while staying in character until after the DVD commentary. That actor is Robert Downey Jr., part of a stellar ensemble cast including Ben Stiller, Jack Black, Steve Coogan, and a memorable cameo from Tom Cruise. Released in 2008, "Tropic Thunder" is a satirical critique of Hollywood, war films, and the absurdities of filmmaking. However, its controversial elements—especially Downey's use of blackface—have sparked ongoing debates about its appropriateness in today's cultural climate. 1. **Cultural Sensitivity**: Some argue the film’s humour, meant to critique Hollywood stereotypes, may not resonate today due to increased sensitivity to racial issues. 2. **Artistic Intent**: Downey Jr. and Stiller have defended the film's message, stating it targets Hollywood's hypocrisy rather than mocking marginalized groups. 3. **Modern Reception**: Critics believe the humour would face significant backlash today, making its production challenging. Personally, I appreciated the film and didn’t find offence in Downey’s portrayal. However, humour is subjective. Has "wokeism" gone too far, stifling creativity? While "Tropic Thunder" has its defenders, it likely wouldn't be made today without considerable controversy. What are your thoughts? Let me know in the comments! **#TropicThunder #Filmmaking #CulturalCritique #Humor #Wokeism #Hollywood #Comedy #Creativity #Diversity #Satire**
