Inglourious Basterds: What Tarantino Got Wrong - Wisecrack Edition

Many Tarantino films celebrate film as a medium through references and homages, but Inglourious Basterds goes a step further. It’s a testament to the power of film. But is Tarantino’s message no longer relevant?

One more note about Inglorious Basterds: when Shosanna kills Frederick it is the gunshots in the film playing that cover her real gunshots. Cinema helps her out and the Nazis are too stuck in their own film to realize they're in danger.

This is why I loved Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. The film so often takes little moments to address how Tarantino's belief in and admiration for the innocence of Hollywood and the innocence of American culture is failing, whether that's in Dalton's self-doubt about himself and his career, the suspense scenes involving the seemingly inevitable horrors surrounding the Manson cult, or the bits where Tate naively watches herself in the theater, oblivious to the tragedy we know would befall her in real life. In a sense, it's like he's realizing that these moments of taking delight in the power of cinema are fading slowly, in the same way that I'd argue he was somewhat hinting at towards the end of Basterds with the idea of destroying the theater (though, like the video said, not without following it up with a moment of indulgence by Tarantino through blowing up Hitler and the Nazi machine with it). But in the final act of OUaTiH, you pretty much feel him take a deep breath and go, "Yeah, my belief in the movie system may be a dated one, but you know what? I'm gonna keep believing in it, long after it's gone," culminating in yet another Tarantino revisionist moment, a defiant middle finger to the industry which has slowly suffocated the art form for years now. Or it could be about feet. Yeah, it's probably about feet.

That sounds good but isn’t true. Knowledge and truth is not a cure to ignorance or arrogance. So it won’t be able to change someone’s ideology alone.

Those who started it may die, but it can live on into new groups that share the same belief.

[@errwhattheflip]

I don't think Tarantino necessarily got the message of Inglorious Basterds wrong or that it's no longer relevant. I think the movie is merely about the power of cinema and that can be applied in numerous manners. It could just refer to how films can impact us and resonate with us, and in that sense it really hasn't lost relevance as its message is something that'll last until cinema itself is gone. As long as movies are being made and can resonate with people, his message here stands.

[@LeoBushydo]

I don't think the ending is that simple. I've always thought that the bigger statement in the burning down of the theater that leads to the death of Hitler is that if you destroy cinema, you destroy history. I think Tarantino has been very aware from the start that this is going to happen. And in all of his movies, in both his universes cinema is the thing that keeps everything together. And he has always modified history in his films as far back as True Romance. He has also stated this numerous times in interviews. Throughout his films you'll find embellishments to history as we know it and those aren't just bad writing. Tarantino needs to have his stories driven by cinema away from historical accuracy. The purpose for this is beyond me, to be honest, but it's so obvious to any Tarantino fan that this is one of the most self-aware things he does in his movies. I hope by the 10th film there is a hint of why this is so, but knowing his work so far, I think it will remain a puzzle. Like why the hell did he decide to name his first film "RESERVOIR" dogs. In his words it just sounds cool. And that's another thing Tarantino does a lot... he just improvises.

One thing I hated about IB is the lack of security they have at the movie premiere. You have Hitler, Goebbles, Goering there. You have a bunch of wealthy high society of Germany there. You even have foreign dignitaries there. What you don't have is the kind of guards & security that type of audience would demand. Also take in account you have a group of maniacs going around killing every Nazi they come across. There would be every kind of security, secret service, sniper & soldier imaginable at that place. They would have spent hours going around the cinema searching inside and out for anything suspicious like, you know, a bunch of flammable film sitting in a big pile. They would have vetted everyone that was attending well before the event took place. If they didn't know you, you weren't getting in. You were probably getting arrested so you could be questioned. There would have been 2x as many men on the outside of the cinema who would have broken down doors to get Hitler and the rest out of there. Yeah, yeah I know. Suspension of disbelief. It's an alternate history. Landa helped the Basterds win, blah, blah blah. Still this bothered me when I saw the film years ago.

[@lawsonj39]

Okay...but several of the attempts on Hitler's life, including Stauffenberg's, show that Nazi security procedures were actually surprisingly lax at times.

When a movie is ten years old, spoiler alerts should not be needed anymore.

[@Username-ld7ho]

And it’s also free on youtube. So if you didn’t watch it at that point, it’s kind of stupid to complain about spoilers.

That is very spot on. in contrast to the past when we shared centralized ideas, nowadays we are isolated in our own bubble and consume content exclusively to our personal liking, cementing and reinforcing only narrow set of ideas.

"robotism" really is a derogatory word that means big shot tv executive not having the control of culture under their thumb Even if that only lead to worse outcome, I would prefer "robotism" to the alternative on ideological grounds alone I don't know much about McLuhan, beside of how popular he apparently was and I would like if you talked more about his ideas. But, either you didn't explain his idea clearly or I just don't like his idea of "robotism" Robotism is a media mogul's complaint that he can't be Goebbels anymore and that he's going to lose control of the nation's culture. I don't think anyone should be in control of the nation's culture. Sure, it might be sad that we are no longer united by a common culture (calling in a monoculture, feels icky to me btw) but that's just the price of freedom ? And really doesn't that mostly lead to design by comitty, watered down lowest common denominator pop culture (like the avengers)

[@joejosephk1773]

shodanxx I agree. I enjoy robotism much moreso than centralism, but I think it’s more of an interesting reality than a positive one. Propaganda has shifted to accommodate robotism. Look at Britannica USA’s targeted advertising. Propaganda made for the robotism era. I’m interested in how robotism will effect they changing America.

[@PhyreI3ird]

You had me until your comment about the avengers (unless you're referring to the one from the 90s)

[@jas_bataille]

Well for someone who don't know much about an author's ideas, you seem to sounds like expert tbh... that's your interpretation mate. Robotism isn't a media mogul complain. It's a philosophical concept that simply means society lack a central culture. Shrinking it down to media is very reductive. Religion, science, education etc are ALL affected by a central culture, or lack thereof. I'm also very much shocked that you state "that's just the price of freedom" while simultaneously contradicting yourself by mentioning that "it's sad" because we now mostly end up with films created by " a design comity". Isn't that everything but creative freedom? He also never said that someone in particular should be ruling a nation's culture. This idea that an individual or a company rule culture is actually a product of robotism, which as you said IS a derogative term because it literally means corporations (or religious cult, or political organizations) playing on the de-centralization of culture to appeal individualism. Ironically enough, those corporations are very hypocrite and in fact, reveal that robotism control your "freedom" of choice by restricting content based on your IP address for example. Of course a "monoculture" isn't a good either but we all need to at least find a group of people who share the same interest than ours. This is a perfectly natural and healthy human behavior. There is nothing wrong in being proud of your culture. That doesn't mean that you think it's "superior" to others' culture - at all! You have all the rights in the world to be proud of your culture. Why wouldn't you?! It's your heritage to *share with the world*. It *defines you as a human being*. You have all the right in the world to take your distances or even reject your culture if you don't like it, and choose another one. But at the end of the day, we're all part of a culture. Being in London isn't the same as being in Hong Kong. The unwritten rules and ways of life are completely different, and it we weren't agreeing on some set of common behavioral archetype, the world would be in constant chaos (which it is already close to).

[@hotch4421]

The fact that the guy telling you “your thoughts should be in line with the rest of society” is the one calling actual free diverse thinking “Robotism” tells you all you need to know about how full of shit this “‘media theorist” is. Incredible how no one else is acknowledging this.

[@jamescrock62]

I appreciate your summary on this. Are you able to see all of your own work as a waste of time? Handle critics no matter their intensity? Accept that even if you are 100% correct, no one accepts or cares? If so, you are doing it right. Again, appreciate you.

When my dad wanted to go to the cinema, he had to pay the equivalent of €2, when I want to go to the cinema, I have to pay €12 just to see the film, and a bottle of water can cost €5.

This whole "going to cinema as ritual" shit is intellectual garbage..

If you define Nazis to include Neo-Nazis and other white supremacists, then you could say that cinema failed to destroy the Nazis. That's a pretty broad definition that sets the bar very high for cinema. In order to clear that bar, film would have had to fundamentally change human nature instead of just helping to end a facist political movement in the 1930s.
