Outside Reading Post 15

In the movie, Tropic Thunder, that I watched with my friend just an hour ago seemed to interest me and still humor me so I decided to make a blog post on it. In this blog post, I will talk about how Tropic Thunder, although hated by others, is an extremely funny movie because of its irony. For examples, I found some very funny situational irony scenes that add to the overall quality of the movie. One of these scenes was the scene where the soldiers throw a fake bomb at the Flaming Dragon drug producers and in the tree bombs were set and the producers pressed the button to explode the bombs at the same time. It went together well because the Flaming Dragon thought it was a real bomb when it really wasn't and it added to the overall quality of the movie. The soldiers thought they were still acting in a movie, when in reality they weren't and the Flaming Dragon thought the soldiers were people sent to take down the Flaming Dragon. This irony couldn't have been done in a better way because it adds to the fact that the movie is a comedy and intended for laughs and not a real movie about the Viet Nam war or anything of that sort. To end, I would recommend others to watch this movie and look for the humor, but also watch for the ironic situations that add to the situation because they are easily to recognize and recognizing them helps to see the movie in a different point of view.
