Great analysis. For me the biggest role reversal in "Inglorious Basterds" is the basement scene. Nazi Major is actually portrayed as admirable and extremely brave. After Fasbender's character points 3 fingers wrong, Major realizes that there is something cheesy, but does not choose the safe approach - calling the backup and confronts the basterds to the end. Even takes the inevitable death with dignity.

[@lancelloti.]

Thanks, bro! you are my first comment ever haha. I love that scene because essentially it's Tarantino playing with our expectation of what we should see in a character like that.

[@MajorCoolD]

True, though one could argue wheter it was brave or foolish though. :) However I DO like the fact that Terentino did try to portray the 'bad guys' as more than just two dimensional cardboard cutouts. I myself was a bit stunned how some of my american friends seemed to lack any self-reflection and failed to see how the Basterds arent really 'the good guys', considering that by their very actions they are war criminals in every sense of the word and by the Geneva Convention(s). And the fact that killing prisoners of war is always bad even if it can be 'justified' (and all sides historically DID engage in that to some extent or another, afterall 'take no prisoners' is technically an order for a Warcrime, but sometimes you simply CAN'T take any prisoners [either due to being behind enemy lines, having no manpower to spare or having no facilities to house said prisoners] and it DID historically happen. War makes Beasts of Men, no matter what flag they are fighting for. However it's even worse if the supposed Soldiers do it for 'sports', like with our Jew Bear. Beating an unarmed prisoner to death with a baseball bat (while his armed buddies around make sure he cant fight back or flee) is pretty barbaric no matter who does it against whom.

[@ivandejesusalvarez9313]

Your analysis of the Bear Jew scene where he beats the Nazi officers head in was superb. You pretty much give me a new perspective on the title of the movie, because you show how very inglorious the Bear Jew is, especially how unheroic his whole angry baseball rant. And your analysis of the cinematic language is spot on. Keep the videos coming, i am glad to subscribe :)

[@BigUriel]

I think there may be a bit of over-analysing there. The Basterds are not in it for justice or morality, or even to end the war. They are there for revenge. Aldo says so with his introduction, he's specifically looking for Jews to carry out this mission, and his goal is to kill Nazis, not on the open field in large numbers to turn the tide of the war, but in brutal, guerrilla tactics style to make the Nazis *fear* them. That's the whole point, to come across as so sadistic that the Nazi soldiers will have nightmares about being caught by them. The Bear Jew's assault is pure catharsis - for him, for the rest of the Basterds, and largely for the audience who sometimes get a little tired of nuanced villains with strong motives that make us question whether they really are bad people or just making the best they can out of a bad situation, and often get away without truly answering for their crimes - Tarantino gives us the simple satisfaction of seeing a bad guy get brutally beaten to death with a baseball bat.

[@MC-bh8ph]

Tarantino is my favorite director but even I suspect that much of what he does is simply because it looks cool or is an homage to something that came before, not everything is a sophisticated meta commentary

[@lockekappa500]

I think you downplay just how genius these people are at their craft. It takes a VERY learned person to craft these movies in the way that they do. Tarantino lives and breathes cinema, maybe even more than any director ever has.(as proven by his insistence in not only making films, but making his films ABOUT films) If anyone would have a meta commentary on Hollywood and cinema, it would be him.

[@Jehosaphet]

This is where I'm at...way perceptive analysis, thoughtful and provocative, but ultimately I think its reaching.

[@danielrafferty4108]

some great points and analysis here. Even though the title Inglorious Basterds is cribbed from another movie from the seventies one of the things I love about Quentin Tarantino's movies is that they are about exactly what it says on the tin. A reservoir Dog is someone who rats on the police, pulp fiction gives you the definition of the word and structures the story around this, Jackie Brown is about Jackie Brown, Kill Bill is about trying to kill Bill etc. reminds me of going to see The Hateful Eight with my then girlfriend and she was almost nauseous with the inertia of all their bad actions saying: "Did every single character have to be so vicious and evil?" I thought, well yeah. The title spells out for us from the start 😅

[@MajorCoolD]

I mean you can argue that the soon to be Sheriff is technically not evil and rephrensible by himself, though he was brought up a southern boy and lives in the early post-civil War period. So naturally... well you know? XD

[@98loud]

@@MajorCoolD weird that you give the justification to the literal racist but the black colonel getting revenge against the people who put him and his people in chains doesn't get a pass

[@Prikense]

@@98loud well, his revenge was very extreme and he still murders people for his own selfish interests either way

[@ab4845]

"Jackie Brown is about Jackie Brown, Kill Bill is about trying to kill Bill" You've really uncovered some very deep truths there... No wonder Tarantino's bullshit impresses you...

[@wjzav1971]

English is not my native language but I think Kill Bill is actually a double meaning. On the one hand, its about Killing Bill. But Kill Bill is also a coloquial term for a hit list. As in, Kiddo works through a list of people she wants to kill.

[@orangewarm1]

When you realize Tarrantino has made a living out of copying great directors. And their scripts.

[@lockekappa500]

And doing it better than they did.

[@yewtewbstew547]

The irony is this comment itself is copied, and yet has never in the history of the internet been followed up by a compelling example. It's a baseless narrative drummed up by people attempting to justify their personal dislike for Tarantino, for reasons unrelated to his films, in a way that they think will be more palatable to people only concerned with his films. Except nobody ever actually buys it.

[@mr_0n10n5]

Its still amazing to me that Tarantino watched so many movies, said "I could do that" and did it so freaking well

[@okcomics1635]

One of the things I like the most about Inglorious Basterds is that it also constitutes a huge F-you to the American reticence to watch movies with subtitles.

[@mk-ultramags1107]

It should've won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay too but those said subtitles seem to turn voters off and it's BS. It's as if they thought QT did it simply to be "clever."

[@YohanceToye]

love the subtle transistion at 1:00

[@bonder3643]

this is a well written video, i hope you continue to upload. you have potential:)

[@alloyrocker]

You're definitely reading into this too much. Agreed that these movies subvert your expectations but I don't think Tarantino 'mocks' these films the way you're suggesting. It's merely showing them a mirror. You said Tarantino does this so as to avoid the glorification of war but I'd argue his stylistic violence does exactly that in Inglorious Basterds. The forced comparison with a movie like 1917 which came out years after IB does feel like reaching a bit.

[@bastianeilks3899]

I agree. Inglorious Bastards is all about the joy and vindication of killing people as evil as the Nazis. The Bastards are not portrayed as small and uminpressive to make them less heroic, but rather to make their achievements seem even greater. These aren't some super professional spies, these are just some all-american boys ready to fight evil.

[@marqc.9904]

Mocking might have been the incorrect term, but I do think that QT is holding a mirror up to the audience at times regarding their interest in war films as propaganda (while still making a "propaganda" esque war film of his own). The film's Bear Jew introduction as well as the ridiculous situation the Basterds find themselves in by the of the film are great examples of this. It's almost like if you remove the soundtrack from a Rocky movie--it's just a bunch of grunting and sweating.

[@ab4845]

Are you seriously expecting common sense and logic from a Tarantino fanboy/stan?

[@Rongez]

@@ab4845 What fanboy are you talking about? The creator of the video? If that is who you meant, then you don't understand what 'fanboy' means.

[@lockekappa500]

Tarantino doesn't need to know the exact scene that 1917 will have. He knows that movie will come out already, and already has come out. It's not a stretch if it's within our predictable nature to make movies like this.

[@CrniWuk]

What I really love about Tarantino is that he has two levels of violence. The most obvious display is Django. You have the "violence" that Django causes, like to the slavers which is incredibly "entertaining". And then you have the violence of "slavery" which is extremely disturbing. And yet, on the surface it's all violence. But it does not have the same effect on the audience.

This first hero scene ... when the "hero" comes out of the tunnel into the light .... ahem ... who is sitting right next to him, eating once again? 😂 At least he stops when the madness starts. I really enjoyed your video, I think this meta-thing is an important subject. How many people think their TV talks to them when they first experience the metaverse of movies? It can be overwhelming, frightening even. It takes some practice and getting used to to watch several layers at once. They don't teach us that at school. Multitasking 2.0. 😂 Tarantino, like Fincher, uses so many layers, so many references, they know all the tricks. It's impossible to get them all in one go. I have no idea how they do it. It must be magic. A movie is made by a large team of people, they all have to work together to create master-puzzle-pieces like that. I love them, I could spend hours to piece it all together. I loved puzzles as a child, too. The satisfaction when the image finally emerges. I never wanted to see the picture before and I hated that they all show you the picture from the start. I wanted the surprise, the suspense. With these films you get exactly that. Did you get the reference with the scalping? This is Tristan, the bear who is a native, diguising as a cowboy, who loses it when he fails to protect his little brother. He goes full native warrior and brings home the scalps of the enemies and the heart of his brother. And he loses control over his inner beast, the bear who is his brother in blood. They marked each other. I'm not that fond of this concept, because it's actually not what the bear stands for in native culture. He is a teacher, a healer who knows all the plants and people learned from him to hole up in warm and cozy caves during winter, to gather food during summer and fall and to preserve energy. Medicine men often have the bear as their spirit animal. But he is also fierce if somebody challenges him or disturbes his sleep. Maybe Tristan should have put his knife out of reach. Much easier than what he did . Men ... why take it easy if you can complicate things endlessly. 😂 But that's a very small part of bear nature. I'm not really surprised that this culture is so fixated on this part. I remember reading something about the jewish bear in your video. Another hint, but I have no idea what this is about. Mother Russia is the bear. Nobody ever survived a confrontation with mother bear, not Napoleon and not that pathetic gnome with the hilarious thing under his nose everybody seems to be wearing at that time - and his rabid mutts of war. They still live under the bridges. Nowadays we call them trolls. Sometimes they feel brave and roam the streets in numbers. But I'm hopeful that more and more people see them as what they are. Pathetic cowards who hide if their numbers are not at least three to one and they're armed to the teeth. They only pick the weekest ones for a fight, that's all they can do. When they are alone one strong move silences them. Their dream is over, no matter what they believe. They don't even understand the signs they use. Two suns don't mean double power. Two suns will just make barbeque. Way too hot to survive. It will end in a desert, in scorched earth. I'm german, by the way. 🤣

Q-man would never make fun of Sam Raimi, though. One of his main inspirado-mongers from whom he derived inspirado with great relish. Even if there were no feet for him to ogle. Ever notice how Q-man's movies, especially his more recent ones, have a pattern to them? If one of them has a German villain, the next one will have a German hero. If one has a Southern villain, the next one will have a Southern hero. And if not a "hero," per se, then at least a sympathetic character. Or even the mentor to the main hero (which is still a kind of heroic Sage archetype).

[@CosmicPhilosopher]

Solid video. I think Funny Games by Haneke is another one that challenges the audience and other filmmakers. I've only seen the original, not his own remake, but that movie definitely had me squirming and questioning myself.

[@snoookie456]

I don't think "mocking" is the word, but he does mention in so many interviews that subversion is in fact one of his main goals. Which I don't think shows any disrespect towards the source material, but rather wants to trick his audience. And while this may sound cliche, I don't think I've seen a lot of directors actually flipping the tropes 180 with such efficiency. He is a joker. Every movie of his I watch I know I like because I can't stop laughing. I'm not laughing because the dialogue has jokes. I'm laughing because what is happening as I watch the movie I am fully aware is extremely funny. And by the way there's layers to this subversion too, because when you're used to his style turning everything into a joke, this all is an elaborate anti-joke of which the anti-punchline is the ending to OUATIH... which is an incredibly sad ending... And the reason I think he does that is like you say sincere. If you deal in arts you want to move people. But in order to move people they need to have their guard down. So in order to let their guard down, he does away with all the cliches they're conditioned to by subverting them. This way once all of that is removed, at the end what's left is the meat of it all.

[@lockekappa500]

The irony is that cliches end up undermining your own material. Has the danger of stripping them of all their nuance. And I think that's why it's so powerful to break them down and rise above them.

Actually the bullets and aiming at the audience was an homage to Sam Fuller, director of the Big Red One, that used that device in his film.

Great analysis! I know this may seem pretty random at first glance, but I'd like to take this opportunity to bring up which is probably my ultimate pet peeve, the ending of Game of Thrones and how unfairly (!) I think it is being treated (yes, you've read that right! 😁I'm aware it's an unpopular opinion...) (I mean, I'm aware that some people "only" complain about how it's executed, which I also disagree with to a certain extend, but not completely; many DON'T seem able to distinguish between what happens and how it happens, though, not to mention the latter is connected to apparently not really getting the point...). You see, I keep saying that Game of Thrones has been doing something very similar to Tarantino, including what you describe here, pretty much from the beginning and not just because both are obviously very violent (the infamous "killing off beloved characters", for example didn't shock me nearly as much, because Tarantino had already "desensitized" me to it through what he did to poor Shosanna 😄) and that understanding that is the key to being able to appreciate its "oh so terrible" ending (which many still deny could possibly be the author's own, so again, it's NOT "just" about how it's executed). So, long story short, I guess my question is, what do you think about that (and would you be interesting in watching the (not very professional, mind you; also, please don't hold being German against me, I didn't become one on purpose 😄) video(s) I made on the subject? In which I don't actually mention Tarantino, but still...) (A hint for understanding what I mean by that, might be, among other things, what Quentin said about the "Joker" movie... But I can (!) also elaborate in a different comment, of course...)

That's actually a great way at looking at it. He makes movies that he wants to make, not to tell a hard message or warn the audiance of the modern fears of the world, but rather he makes films that are simply fun

@@sorcerous8401I think that’s why he’s a very respectable writer/director.

I'm a big fan of 1917, so I don't appreciate the jabs or critiques of that particular film. It seems like you possibly don't understand it. It's not meant to glorify war or fall into cliches. It's meant to show how an ordinary soldier feels and reacts during the relentless nature of warfare, how other ordinary soldiers and officers we meet along the way view the proceedings, and then finally how when it ends nobody recognizes the glory in war, because there is none. This soldier who has lost a friend and nearly been killed is congratulated by essentially being told to f*** off. It's marvelously simple, technically well done, and doesn't handle more than it's capable of. However, your analysis and comparison/contrast with Inglourious Basterds was good, nice video

1917 was more of an "art" movie than it was a war movie. It didn't feel "real", the main character was boring because he's alone the entire time and the mission didn't make sense. "What if we did the reverse of SPR? Instead of a squad going to save 1 guy, it's 1 guy going to save an entire.... company!" A truly forgettable movie. The only reason anyone claims to like it is because "omg it was filmed in one continuous shot!" 0/5 stars

Mock other directors? More like QT steals from other directors.

I don't agree with you. (I'm just a fanboy of Tarantino's movies) Love you video ❤❤❤
