Inglourious Basterds

Set in France occupied Nazi in 1941, Inglourious Basterds shows an unconventional story of World War II. This movie is seen from two different point of views, one from Shosanna, and the other is from the Basterds. The first point of view is from Shosanna, a Jewish French girl whose family is murdered by Colonel Hans Landa that is known as the Jew Hunter. Hans Landa murders Shosanna's family but she is able to escape and years later manage a theater in Paris. Later she somehow attracts the interest

Several years ago, “Inglourious Basterds” marked my first Quentin Tarantino movie. I knew little about Tarantino, other than that he was beloved by cinephiles and had a penchant for dialogue and violence. So it seemed like a WWII movie from such a director would be spectacular. I was disappointed, as I also was with the other Tarantino film I’ve seen, “Pulp Fiction.” I simply wasn’t expecting the conversation heavy, relatively action-free idiosyncratic movie that is “Inglourious Basterds” But as my film

Quentin Tarantino’s 2009 film, Inglourious Basterds, provides a creative alternative to World War II’s end. Tarantino, an experienced director of over 20 years at the time of the film’s release, had been working on Inglourious Basterds since he wrote the script in 1998. His completed film explores the world of Nazi Germany, where unlikely protagonists strategize to end World War II. Working towards this goal, Tarantino uses the aesthetic techniques that most are familiar with in a perverted way,

creating in depth films that captivate audiences’ imaginations and establishes dialogue about the deeper message behind ideas. In Inglourious Basterds (2009), Tarantino’s story generated a great story with a remarkably bravado ending, which can hold in one’s memory long after seeing this film, while still maintaining the story’s true meaning in the moment. Inglourious Basterds is presumably fitting to the Aristotelian structure of film because as the film goes on it is clearly becoming more and more

In his interview, Quentin Tarantino describes Inglourious Basterds as a product of his imagination (Gilby 175). If one had watched the film, he can see that the film is based on the real World War II setting as it portrays actual key figures - Hitler, Goebbels, and Churchill - and events around that time, such as German occupation in Paris and the Holocaust. Even though the film uses actual World War II setting, the story as a whole is a pure fiction. The film is a fictional alternate history of

strength of cinema in shaping history and people. He reminds us that all historical accounts are fictitious to a degree, which should ensure that audiences take care to pay attention to small details in order to fully understand arguments. Inglourious Basterds is full of references to film history, specifically in Germany. The title of the film is a nod to Enzo Castellari’s movie of the same – albeit correctly spelled – name (Inglorious Bastards in 1978). Lieutenant Aldo Raine (Brad Pitt) is a cheeky

it all the sequence by the end of the movie in which Hitler gets shot and burned by the Basterds (frame 2.2) suggests a perfect fantasy image that contradicts reality. This fiction has become truth, a hyperreality that is presented and believed in Inglourious Basterds' reality. One of the key themes explored in postmodern theory is the narrative which focuses on storytelling (Kvale, 1996, p. 18). Inglourious

This research aims to answer the question about the enemy construction in Inglourious Basterds as postmodern enemy. After analyzing the Hollywood enemy conventions, Inglourious Basterds are deconstructed through the following perspectives: 1) wearing distinctive outfit, 2) being dehumanized as evil, 3) having different purpose from the hero, 4) being on the losing side, and 5) being racially different. In Hollywood war cinema, the uniform is something crucial in creating the enemy since it serves

What if World War II didn’t end in the suicide of Adolf Hitler and the surrender of the Axis powers? What if instead there was a double conspiracy in the works against Hitler that was concentrated coincidentally on an extravagant movie premiere in honor of the efforts of Nazi German soldiers in France at the time? How different history would be. This very plot is depicted in Quentin Tarantino’s World War II movie staring Brad Pitt as Lieutenant Aldo Raine and Mélanie Laurent and Shosanna Dreyfus

Quentin Tarantino’s 2009 film Inglourious Bastards entails a Jewish revenge fantasy that is told through a counterfactual history of events in World War II. However, this story follows a completely different plot than what we are currently familiar with. Within these circumstances, audiences now question the very ideas and arguments that are often associated with World War II. We believe that Inglourious Basterds is a Jewish revenge fantasy that forces us to rethink our previous understandings by
