Inglourious Bastards

Posted on 21. May, 2009 by Shera Crossan in Arts/Entertainment, Commentary, Feedback, Shera Crossan

U.S. director Quentin Tarantino rolls a Western, gangster flick and wartime caper into one in “Inglourious Basterds,” a new film starring Brad Pitt as the leader of a ruthless gang of Nazi-slayers. So fearsome is the band of Jewish-American “bastards” that Adolf Hitler himself comes to hear of them, and the violent and action-packed narrative weaves real life figures into a riotous and fanciful plot that re-writes history.

Much of the humor in Inglourious Basterds stems from language. Americans’ reputations for speaking nothing other than English is a recurring theme, with Pitt’s limited Italian comically exposed by the polyglot Landa.

Tarantino said he and Pitt had wanted to work together on a movie for some time.

“Artistically, me and Brad have been sniffing around each other for a while, the longing looks across the room and everything, the little notes: ‘I like you, do you like me?’”

Pitt said he agreed to play Raine after discussing the part with the director long into the night.

“I got up the next morning and I saw five empty bottles of wine laying on the floor … and something that resembled a smoking apparatus, I don’t know what that was about,” Pitt said.

“And apparently I agreed to do the movie because six weeks later I was in uniform and I was Lieutenant Aldo Raine.”more. . . .

    Here’s a good candidate to boycott.

    Almost as good a candidate as “American History X” which I have the honor of never having seen.

    Tarantino makes bad horror. Too much reliance on shock and gore.

    Indeed!

    I’ve never seen AHX, as usually I don’t feel the urge to see American-made movies about 2ndWW or white movements… I declare them as Jewish propaganda. Correct me if I’m wrong…

    Sniffing ? well that sounds about right.

    I’ll admit I’ve never seen all of AHX, just bits and pieces of it

    More jew propaganda to prop up and reinforce the Holohoax lies. Pfft.

    The only truth in this 2 pounds of celluloid crap is the fact that American jews were, are, and will forever be, bastards.

    Well, not forever…..

    For an interesting view of the German efforts along this line go here:

    Interesting that jews can go on and on about how they’ve been mistreated and exploited over here and villainized and oppressed over there, but this 2 hours of jewish wet-dream where a bunch of dopey hebrews roam the countryside committing deluxe-model war-crimes and jihad-style terrorist acts against the evil not-jews, well that’s just good cinema, right?
