Inglorious Basterds!

[bokan800]

This movie is crazy.

The middle part of the movie was boring with all the "Quentin Dialogues", that was expected. But the climax delivered...I mean just holy shit.

 

[wastingmymind]

I actually thought Quentin Dialogues > Climax. The dialogues actually show how one party can totally pulverize the other, just by speaking. Otherwise, I'm still on the fence with the movie.

I actually love the Quentin Dialogues in all of his movies, it's just there's way too much chit-chat here and too little action in between them.

I didn't like the trailer at all, and just watched it because it is QT Movie. I'm glad that I did, because the trailer didn't do it justice at all. So I can see that people that expected the movie to be like the trailer dislike it now
Great characters (except Stiglitz but hey .. at least Til Schweiger didn't take himself serious this time). Great pictures, and yes .. GREAT dialogues. Nobody manages to bring that much across in "simple" dialogues. Just how Lada was introduced, just how QT always manages to make you feel uncomfortable in dialogue situations ... perfect. Shosanna/Melanie Laurent - wonderfull actress, Hans Lada/Christoph Waltz also very good in his role.
Subtitles? Who cares .. I have to admit that I had the advantage of being able to understand two of the languages used without subtitles and also got a bit of the french dialogue (when it weren't the long and fast sentences ) but still - it gives the movie a very authentic feel. And contrary to many other productions, the german they spoke was genuine and did not make you burst out in tears of laughter .
The scene in the bar was pure awesoe because I immediately knew that the british guy - although gramatically perfect - stands out and sooner or later would catch attraction . And when he ordered the beer I whispered to my buddy "it's over now". He didn't believe me when I told him about the wrong "three fingers"

I liked it!

The initial scene with Colonel Landa and the French cattle farmer was so very tense and beautifully realised that it put me on edge for the entire film. I think it was a great technique, since it lent extra emotion and gravitas to the climax - the audience felt just as much relief as those involved that everything was finally over.

Whilst it wasn't my favourite Tarantino film, it was certainly my favourite World War II film.

i don't like revisionist history, mostly cause the retarded kids today will no doubt think that a bunch of blood-crazed-scalping-jews blew up hitler. but, taken as just pure fantasy it was not that bad. could have definately used more nudity though. large amounts of nudity.

 

[jayxx2]

Say what?```

brad pitt nude in the woods...

brad pitt nude in the theatre...

that german sniper-hero nude in the theatre...

brad pitt and the german sniper-hero nude in the theatre...

brad pitt, the german sniper-hero, and the french/jewish girl he is after, all nude in the theatre, on the projection room floor fucking like crazy....

things like that would have improved the quality of the movie over-all.

"Burn it down."

This line sent shivers down my spine. It made the movie for me.

I love Tarantino. I know the only two awards that are most likely are best screenplay and best supporting actor.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Quentin Tarantino's World War Two movie "Inglourious Basterds" won its biggest award so far on Saturday, taking the top prize at the Screen Actors Guild awards.

"Inglourious Basterds," a violent and darkly comic revenge fantasy, won for best ensemble for a multinational cast that included American Brad Pitt, Germany's Diane Kruger and Austrian Christoph Waltz, who also added the SAG best supporting actor trophy to his slew of awards.

The Tarantino movie had already won a string of film critics' awards but none as prestigious as the award chosen by the 120,000 members of the Screen Actors Guild.

Waltz took his first supporting actor SAG award for playing a manipulative Nazi officer in "Basterds."

Waltz came off Golden Globe win last weekend.

The SAG awards are usually seen as a key indicator of success at the Oscars, the movie industry's highest honors.

Ugh... I could not handle this movie.

I just thought it was a disgusting love letter to Hollywood... Giving everyone in the industry the feeling that they've avenged themselves against the third reich.
Bleh.

It's much of a love letter to Berlin and to UFA as it is about Hollywood. Having a German movie star and British soldier who's also an enthusiast for German film as characters puts a lot of nuance into the film.

This is going to be a tight race Oscar night but I'm hoping IB wins.
