Just the intro of this movie and it's already a Masterpiece. As Italian, I can say the italian part is great. Except for two little mistakes ("difficile DA trovare" , not "difficile DI trovare") Christoph Waltz italian accent is so damn good, and he speaks four languages in this movie: English, German, Franch and Italian. Oh, there are so many hidden things and class touches in this movie... very difficult to find.I could bingewatch all the Tarantino movies without getting tired.

[@lampad4549]

Too bad the rest of movie is mediocre schlock, the intro is cool but hardly meaningful, the characters are two dimensional and have no depth at that point. Compare that to the opening scene in something like inception, goodfellas, requiem for a dream or breaking bad, way more meaningful have way more allusion to character depth.

[@robotmonthly5512]

It's spelled that way because Tarantino is a horrible speller. IB steals its title from a '70s WWII flick that Tarantino used to use as a litmus test for new movie friends bc it was so obscure (if you knew what it was, you passed the test.) He hand writes his scripts and had spelled the title that way on page 1. Somebody pointed out it was spelled wrong, so he decided to keep it that way since it was "his" way of spelling it, and therefore "his" movie. also, the director of the original, Enzo Castellari, had a cameo in the movie as the guy yelling "fire" in the movie theater.

[@nightshade7240]

One of the easiest ways to reveal a suspected spy who sounds perfect is to force them into a situation where they will perform an action that is natural to them but because it isn't natural to the one suspecting them of not being what they seem, it's a dead give away. In this case there are gestures that are different that we all do unthinkingly when our guard is down because we learned them by the concept of cultural rote. That's why the German officer played the game, why the alcohol. When your inhibitions are lowered and you are feeling at ease it is much harder to maintain a facade or acted responses. If you want to see who someone truly is, get them drunk. Everything else will fall away. If they refuse to drink, well that tells you something as well.

[@joeconcepts5552]

18:50 - it's not that difficult to hide that swastika. A decent plastic surgeon could do it. Or you just add couple more scar lines and change the shape. Or burn it. It'll hurt, but it will heal.

Todays plastic surgical procedures could maybe, 1940's .. not so much. Also, you'd need at least 2nd degree, probably up to 3rd degree burns to hide a prominent scar because scar-tissue reacts and heals differently, under a light burn the changed healing of a scar will still get through. Problem is the forehead has not much 'meat' to it, 3rd degree burns on a forehead can be rather serious and possibly won't only hurt but risk losing your skin down to the bone.

fantastic movie + reaction! one of Tarantino's best! I think the title is spelled that way as a homage and to distinguish this film from another film, 'The Inglorious Bastards' (1978).

[@annaclarafenyo8185]

This is how that film's title was spelled on a handwritten cassette in the video store Tarantino worked at. It gives the film a distinctive googlable title. Likewise, Reservoir Dogs was named after a phrase coined when Tarantino asked a coworker to watch "Au Revoir Les Enfants", and the response was "I'm not watching no Reservoir Dogs."

[@leonardopandeli1764]

Tarantino likes to use Ennio Morricone soundtracks for his movies. Morricone was know for making amazing Western soundtracks. Morricone also worked closely with Sergio Leone who created the best Western Trilogy and Western movie of all time. Tarantino idolized Leone and how he was able to created such chilling atmosphere. Leone would write the script and music first then base his shots around the music. He also played music on set to help the actors with their facial expressions during his close ups.

George, a lot of the combat veterans who came home from World War II, particularly those who fought in the Pacific, had to readjust to civilian life after having seen and participated in that kind of savagery. Some weren't able to make the transition back, but many were able to do so. For example, I'm thinking of the real Marines, Eugene and Sid, portrayed in The Pacific. Eugene was haunted by PTSD for the rest of his life, but Sid made a fairly smooth readjustment. I remember reading a memoir by a soldier who fought in Europe; he described realizing in Europe that he had become desensitized to the point where seeing mutilated corpses had no effect on him - just part of the scenery - and he was horrified at himself, thinking he would never be normal again. Then shortly after he got back to the States and civilian life, he saw a traffic accident in which someone had died in a gruesome way, and he threw up. So context was crucial for him.

A couple of things just for your knowledge: films in planes used to be shown on a large screen for the entire plane, so films were specially selected and edited; now that each seat has a private screen that is no longer necessary. Secondly, the thing that tipped off the German officer in the bar was the way he indicated 3 with his fingers; he held up 3 fingers in the American way instead of the European way with the thumb and 2 fingers.

A part of the formation of the Hell's Angeles was in response to boredom of everyday life for some men returning from World War 2. They couldn't adjust so the outlaw life made sense.

Christoph Waltz is incredible.

"Pourquoi" can be both "why" and "why not" it depends, but also we have "pourquoi pas?" Which literally means why not

The only problem with this movie is that I doubt Tarantino will ever top it! Every shot seems perfectly framed, the cast is great, and the scene where Soshana prepares for the event (using Bowie's music) is one of the greatest. My favorite of his work.

Brad Pitt repeats his scalping during WW1 from Legends of the Fall.

LT Raine's scar on his neck is never blatantly explained, but the movie does hint around it being a result of a lynching and him surviving it - the hanging being a result of him possibly getting busted as a bootlegger. Lynching was still a common enough punishment back in the 20s and since the movie takes place in '44 to DOES fit. But, it's nothing more than the strongest theory, since, as I already mentioned - the movie never outright explains it.

As Tarantino himself said: this is his masterpiece

[@indus3270]

Your faces at the bar shootout scene were amazing XD

[@TeZapeo]

this is my favorite Tarantino's movie. By a bit, because most of his films are awesome.

“The bear Jew” is Eli Roth the director. Like the “hostel” movies
