Tropic Thunder

This is unpredictable movie with the title Tropic Thunder. Based on title it can

be guessed that it is action movie. Well, it is not totally about an action but also

comedy movie. This movie is directed by Ben Striller. He is also as Kevin

Sandusky, a main character of this movie. This movie is started when Damien,

Kevin’s director failed in making war movie. So, Leaf the author of Tropic

Thunder’s book suggests Damien to make natural movie in the forest. And the

story starts from that point. This movie totally good from the story, actors

acting and the angle, but this movie also have some bad sides in using the

language and attitude.

Actually, the story of this film is unpredictable. First, Kevin Sundusky, Kirk

Lazzarus, Jeff Portnoy, Cody, Alpa Chino, and Damien the director go to forest

to make movie. They will make war movie naturally. Damien as director use

hidden camera to record actors act. Damien just give them pocket book as a

guidance in the forest. And also the actors are given some weapons and granites

to make the condition as if in the true condition. Unfortunately, Damien dead

because he stepped his own bamboo spiked booby traps. So, left them ( the

actors) to continue the action without any instruction from Damien. Surprisedly,

the actors do not realize that the forest is really war area of Vietnam. So,

unfortunately they must take part with this confusedness. The good story also

supported by the way of the camera men takes the picture. The quality of the
pictures are very good. The effect of exploding is also very amazing. Of course

this movie full of stupidity and funny so it keeps the audience on the edge of

their seats.

In the other hand the language use in this movie is very rude. For instance, so

much vulgar language that they use. And then their attitude full of violence. Of

course it will give bad effect to the audiences who watch this movie. But at the

end of the story it has a moral values about life and friendship.

In brief, this movie is incredibly fun action. When you watch this movie, it will

increase your stress. It keeps you laughing almost part of this film. You cannot

guess the ending of the story. Some people say that this is an illogical movie

because the stupidity of the acting of the actors. But you should watch Tropic

Thunder so you can conclude about this movie.
