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.

[@markray2769]

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.

[@snoookie456]

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.

[@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.

"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)

[@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]

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.

Totally agree with the ritualistic nature of watching a movie. Even though I watch most movies on my laptop these days, I have to mentally prepare days ahead when If I really want the movie to have an impact on my and to properly grasp it. If I just decide on a random movie 5 minutes before I watch it on Netflix or Prime, it rarely if ever gives me the proper feeling of watching a movie, most of the time it just makes it feel like Tv, or a KZbin video.

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.

I still think the message of Inglorious Basterds kind of works. After all, not all the Nazis died at the end of the film. Hans Landa lived on and presumably went on to live in America. So I don’t believe Inglorious Basterds is arguing that film killed the Nazis, but that film, and the ruling center it can represent, can damage and minimise the harm done by these toxic ideals those that the Nazis promoted and continue to promote posthumously.

[@chadrobert116]

Films have kept the Nazis down. Film propaganda has been incredibly efficient at cementing the image of nazis has evil incarnate. Just look at how differently communists and the USSR are treated in daily life. Does society has the same visceral reaction when they see someone carrying a USSR flag to one carrying a nazi flag? No. The reaction isn't even close despite being both equally abhorrent. That's because of the power of Hollywood's propaganda.

This is the reason Tarantino put Hateful Eight on 70mm film, and planned special screening events before the actual release date of the film. I remember the whole special event. I paid more for my ticket, I got a whole book with a bunch of fun and facts at my fingertips that I didn't have to search for on the internet, and Felt like I knew it before everyone else did. We had an intermission, we all went out together and smoked and talked about what we thought so far. Engagement. It made the whole night special. I think it honestly might on the movie theaters to be able to figure out ways to get people back into the movie theater. A business will die if it doesn't modernize itself. And tbh, just serving me dinner while I watch a movie it just kinda...meh.. Tarantino is doing it on his own, and the movie theater companies need to follow suit and make movie-going experiences more modern and fun and engaging instead of just raising the prices of snacks to compensate for losing the large audience they can actually gain with futuristic thinking.

[@CountCocofang]

I think a reason for the rise of right thinking is how globalization and wars have made people mitigate everywhere. Mostly into places that are well off, safe and stable. That leads to a scenario where the original residents go outside and don't see the kind of people they are familiar with. They see different cultures, hear different languages, see different faces. And none of them "fit" into the environment they are used to. This doesn't get helped by how many migrating people are either unwilling to adapt to the customs of their new environment or aren't getting the necessary support to do so. So they stand out in public but stay among their own privately, leaving them as the foreigners for at least two generations. This gaping chasm between "us" and "them" drives people into the perceived safety of a tighter, more conservative and territorial mindset. Not to mention the last decade got many people quite disillusioned and dissatisfied with left leadership. Their failings have strengthened the position of the opposing side.

Clearly film, whether 35mm, 70mm, or something else, is not intrinsically anti-Nazi, as Nazis used and adapted film to advance their purpose. What changed is another group took control of film. Dumping the silliness of right or left brain thinking, it is just a matter of who controlled culture and to what end. On the darker side, that industrial-cinematic complex also suppressed and shut out a lot of voices, and those groups have found new venues on the Internet, including commercial streaming services. Nazis and such groups are still fringes, but they are just able to be seen more now without some elite shutting them out. Transgender, heck even gay people, remain “fringe” numerically, but they can be seen too, as well as other minority, and not so minority, groups too. What has changed is we don’t have some elite group controlling media and keeping voices out. This is a GOOD thing, even if we end up seeing stuff we don’t want to see, or we don’t want around us. So, we just have to find new ways to deal with folks besides simply pretend they don’t exist or don’t matter. Unfortunately, most of the energy seems to be focusing on censorship, harassing platforms not to let people on, Great Wall of China, algorithms to keep content from offending our delicate sensibilities. It is the same old control people with power tactics. But it won’t work in the modern age and that too is a GOOD thing. We should justify acting like Nazis to fight Nazis, not in the real, non cinematic world. If folks think they are the good guys, they need to act like it.

I know there's a lot of people in here talking about Experian, but there's also the problematic belief at the core of this video; that getting rid of "dominant ideology" is a bad thing. Sure it allows Nazism to rise up in small sects, but it also prevents it from becoming the dominant mindset of a nation. Just as much as film was used to reject Nazism, Goebel's propoganda (through film) used that same method to dominate a nation. Dominant ideology is not inherently bad, it's just dangerously determined by whoever controls the narrative. On the other hand, the internet also allows for people to learn about experiences beyond their own; they just have to work a little harder to escape suggestion algorithms.
