Actor Ben Stiller is sparking major controversy across the board recently when he announced some news about his controversial film called Tropic Thunder.
The star revealed that he has no regrets on the matter, whatsoever. And despite what sort of feedback and criticism he gets on the matter, he’s opting to stay silent.
Referring to it as one of the most divisive movies of all time, Ben Stiller says he is appalled at how people feel about the ordeal. He is also informing individuals that he’s in no position, shape, or form to apologize because he has done nothing wrong.
The movie dates back to the year 2008 and featured a star stellar cast that had huge names from the industry. But the film featured controversial themes that people were not ready to speak about.
The use of African-American language to a massive extent and constant Blackface is something many people were not prepared for. They thought it was unnecessary and provoked and that’s why many audience members questioned the behavior due to a huge extent.
“I feel there is never an excuse to do something that’s out of place. And one that’s out of time. I made sure to do all things right”- he further revealed.
Stiller reiterated how he came up with the movie Tropic Thunder because he wished to make people realize how negative the concept of Blackface was and how he wished to ward off negative energy coming toward the theme.
Stiller responded to one fan on Twitter who asked him to stop apologizing because they felt it was not necessary. Another spoke about how the actor has really gone one step forward to ensure people’s sentiments were not hurt and that’s why the film was kept lightweight in terms of humor.
