Washed action Starwar, a drug-dependent comedian, a rapper for sale and a pompous self-important method of actor goes into the jungle. It is either the beginning of a very tasty joke or the premise of Ben Stiller's Hollywood satire "Tropical lightning". This funny comedy goes farther and lower than any other movie, daring to go, raging every layer of Hollywood from the tricky foul studio-Bigwigs to the poor manufacturing assistant that disrespect and relate to sports.

Brook's satire in "Tropical Thunder" still causes controversy to this day, with Stiller insisting that he does "without apology" For the story of the Oscar -winning actor, Robert Downey Runior. You may have wondered where Stiller may have received the inspiration for this lightning movie, and the answer comes from a person you wouldn't expect: Steven Spielberg.

Before Ben Stiller was a writer and director, he began his acting career in the shadow of his famous parents of comedian Jerryieri Stiller and Ann Meara. After performing in a number of small roles on the stage and screen, he has scored his biggest role: as a military prisoner in World War II of Steven Spielberg's "The Sun Empire".

Going to the massive set was an experience with Stiller's eye opening, but the biggest impact was not the spectacle of production, but the self-seriousness of the actors who pretended to be horrible soldiers. The idea stuck with Stiller for years and In an interview with NPR Prior to the release of the film, Stiller talked about how this ironic spectacle of actors was lying like troops only grew more absurd because of the spread of "fake boot camps" before production:

"It has become a major part. They will leave with a military counselor and have two weeks of camping outside, shooting, learning how to shoot guns and pretend to be soldiers.

Spielberg is not alien to run these boot camps to help his actors "authentically" play the role of soldiers. He gloriously put the cast of "Brothers Band" through wrinkles, which called Starwright Edward Burns "The worst experience of (his) life." Matt Damon also had Hard experience during "Saving Private Ryan", And Spielberg was behind it all the time.

Stiller took this usual practice to the highest conclusion, sending an acting team, Primon-Dona actors in the middle of the "real" war zone, just to come face-to-face with a dangerous drug cartel, and the result is one of the best comedies in the 2000s. Thanks, Steven Spielberg!
