Inglourious Basterds is Legendary

[@edwardduarte7393]

His masterpiece. He even says it at the end.

[@Movies365-wx4dh]

Thinking of starting my own channel chopping it up about movies. This is my number 1. Could talk about this for hours. Masterpiece

[@amandasalinas9080]

It’s a movie you can watch over and over again too! A classic for sure

[@raidersofthelostpodcast_]

Yes! 🙌🏻

[@zufed]

I love this movie so much, it's Tarantino's masterpiece!

There's something about Inglourious Basterds that made it stand out among Tarantino's other work to me. Yeah, Pulp Fiction was absolutely phenomenal, as was Django and Dogs, but Basterds was a unique experience. The funny thing is that for a while, I didn't like this movie all that much. I thought it was a little weird and I wasn't that big of a fan of the ending, and I couldn't really see anything deeper into the movie apart from just being funny and weird. But this movie stayed on my mind for a while. I started picking up on stuff I missed on my first watch such as the whole message about the power of cinema, the different nuances and directions Tarantino takes in the story with the characters, the satirical way in which Tarantino approaches our hypocrisy, but there was always something missing for me. I think what makes this such a great movie, and the best WW2 movie (in my opinion) is that it actually shows war for what it is (in Tarantino's own style): kinda dumb. The war is literally ended because a film critic can speak German, a German movie star, a bunch of weird American soldiers that commit like a million different war crimes, and the owner of a movie theater. When you really think about it like that, this movie is hilarious. War in this movie is like a grand comedy, yet Tarantino never loses himself here. It's his most restrained script and it's all the better for it. Tarantino is able to show all the different nuances of the war, and more specifically how people react and change to it. We see how Landa is willing to sell out his own country for survival as that's how he's learned to survive in war, we see people so patriotic towards their country that they'd be willing to die for it, we see people who give into their animalistic urges and kill others savagely, and much more. This, in my opinion, is Tarantino's most human movie, ironic considering how many people die in it. It touches on plenty of other things as well such as the nature of heroism and other stuff as well. Basterds is one of the very few war movies that explores the depths of the "opera" of war (the nature of war if you will) better than nearly every other movie out there through its blend of realism and exaggeration and willingness to deviate from the truth

[@raidersofthelostpodcast_]

It’s also just flat out his best screenplay! I always say Pulp Fiction doesn’t count because he had a co-writer

[@errwhattheflip]

@@raidersofthelostpodcast_ That as well. Certainly a phenomenal screenplay

It's quite interesting that Cliff Booth is a stunt double and Aldo Raine pretends to be an Italian stunt double at the cinema. I don't know if that was intentional, but someone pointed it out on an interview for OUATIH

[@raidersofthelostpodcast_]

I think it probably was a bit of both! then casting Brad just culminated that fun QT universe arc

[@adrienneclarke3953]

Kill Bill with the music and color will always be my favourite

[@karanvirkooner1993]

Quentin Tarantino once dealt with the question of whether blowing up the French movie theatre sounded like a terrorist plot

[@Delt162]

Fur Elise is the piano piece at the beginning and it's also the harp piece being played toward the end of Django Unchained where Dr. Schultz is contemplating his next move! Interesting use of the song in both films as a way to show horror is coming and my next choices maybe my end.

[@Delt162]

Again, this is the perfect segway to talk about the TarantinoVerse with how all of his movies have connections and easter eggs!

[@raidersofthelostpodcast_]

That's SUCH a great catch Matthew

[@goobarrett]

Why do y’all think Tarantino didn’t translate everything in the subtitles? For example, in the opening scene, LaPadite says “Oui”, but instead of the subtitles saying “yes”, it still says “oui”. I’ve read some stuff about it being a nod towards older foreign films that didn’t include articles in subtitles, but I just thought it was an interesting detail.

[@raidersofthelostpodcast_]

think it’s because he assumes everyone knows what oui means

[@goobarrett]

@@raidersofthelostpodcast_ maybe, but other moments it does translate “oui” to “yes”. Same with “merci” and “thank you”.

[@raidersofthelostpodcast_]

@@goobarrett Maybe he wants the viewer to feel like Shoshana in the situation? Feeling lost? I don't know tbh

[@hunterbrown5692]

[@michellajeunesse3232]

I think that Landa is so meticulous that it is more than probable that he did know who Shoshanna was. First of all,as she escaped Lapatite's home he called out her name. Second of all he clearly is aware of who she is in the café but, it seems that he is intrigued by her survival instincts and the way that life as brought them together again so that’s why he doesn’t arrest her on the spot.Also he probably knew about operation Kino and wanted to see how it would turn out..

[@AndresSanchez-mp8yy]

Also someone correct me if I’m wrong Thurman has came out she’s had trauma from her filming days in kill Bill right? Or something along those lines?

[@raidersofthelostpodcast_]

She was involved in a bad car wreck that was poorly planned and coordinated by QT. Should have done by as then driver

[on Inglourious Basterds (2009) being the modern strategic history of al-Qaeda] - Yes. ... Now, I've seen people who have seen the movie like three or four times and it never quite sinks into them. But that was never something that I necessarily set out to do. I wasn't trying to make a terrorist Iraq commentary with the film. It was just what made sense for the characters to do at that time. Yes they're strapping bombs on themselves. And they're walking into a theater crowded with evil civilians and they are prepared to blow it up. Even the character, Landa, the Jew hunter, the Nazi character in the film - he even makes a reference to it. He goes your mission - some would call it a terrorist plot - is kaput. It was funny. Again, I wasn't trying to necessarily make a political point in there. It literally was just the next step in the story as far as I was concerned. However, once I did it, the irony was not lost on me at all. But you know, that was one of the things that I actually thought that - it was one of the things that when I was all done. Because I think there are a lot of things like that - not about that issue, but there's a lot of things in this movie that are not used to seeing in other World War II movies. I thought that was one of the aspects that would actually make the movie not just seem like a World War II movie that it's like here and you're looking at it in the eyes of the past. I wanted the film sort of the way "Bonnie and Clyde" worked when it came out. It was an old genre took place in the '30s, but it was actually telling you something about the time today. And that was what I was trying to do with this in this genre.

[@scottgifford7226]

I think it’s totally inappropriate to talk about Zoeller‘s feelings for Shoshana, as “love.“ He doesn’t know her at all; he’s simply attracted to a pretty woman who likes cinema, and he naïvely assumes that his status as a war hero is going to make her fall into his arms. He repeatedly ignores the complete lack of encouragement she shows him. don’t think he’s a tragic figure at all; he’s a blithering young idiot who’s started to believe his own press. And his aggressiveness with her only demonstrates that his pride was wounded… which gives him the excuse he needs to treat her like his property. The only tragedy in that final scene was that she didn’t shoot him in the head before he could shoot her.

I thought your ideas about why Hans kills Bridget were so interesting! Maybe as well as him being resentful after being repeatedly rejected, he's angry that she was able to trick him. She says they've known each other for a while, so she's been able to trick and fly under the radar the whole time. He clearly has a big ego and is very intelligent so maybe he killed her out of anger/embarrassment as well as resentment.

[@raidersofthelostpodcast_]

Oh that’s an excellent suggestion for motive!

[@errwhattheflip]

Or maybe he just wanted to get rid of the one person who would get in the way of him being able to switch sides

I somewhat disagree with the Idea that Frederick is a murderer. He is a soldier in war and his options were die or fight. His inability to watch the film shows his disgust and possibly his own trauma from having been in battle. This is in complete contrast to Hitler who is laughing in enjoyment when watching.

Whether you define him as a murderer during the war, he ended his life committing murder

Stop it. Frederick Zoller is in no way a tragic character. He didn’t love Shoshanna/Emmanuelle, he was infatuated with her. His actions as a soldier were just that, those of a soldier. That doesn’t make him a murderer. Him strangling Shoshanna makes him a murderer, not a tragic character. Unsubscribe.
