Ben Stiller Set The Record Straight On His Feelings About 'Tropic Thunder'

"Tropic Thunder" has always been a controversial topic. Between the use of blackface in the movie and the depiction of someone dealing with a mental disorder, there has been a lot of debate about the issues surrounding the choices made in this film. Now, a decade later, a fan asked the film's star and director Best Stiller to stop apologizing for the film, and he responded to set the record straight, and share his feelings about the action-comedy.

As entertaining as "Tropic Thunder" was to audiences, it did brew a storm of controversy with the disabled community because Ben Stiller portrayed an actor who played a mentally-challenged farm boy who can talk to animals in the film-within-a-film. Audiences also noted Robert Downey Jr.'s use of blackface in the film, and the problems with that. Twitter user Benny S., tweeted at the Meet the Parents actor to stop apologizing for making "Tropic Thunder" as he thought it was a hilarious movie. The actor/director responded to them by tweeting.
