the good news (as far as i’m concerned) is that tarantino is still playing his happy little film - nerd reference games in his latest film, inglourious basterds. here are a few of the ones we picked up on…
inglourious basterds is a 2009 world war ii revenge film written and directed by quentin tarantino and released in august 2009. it is an epic ensemble war film, a
spaghetti - western but with world war ii iconography .
15. basterds marked the end of a longtime collaboration between tarantino and his editor, sally menke .
well, there was a yogi berra, and donowitz was slightly bulkier than the other jewish basterds .

mobile commerce advertising adgregate’s mobile shopads let users viewing mobile advertisements engage, shop, pre - order and buy the release of inglourious basterds on blu - ray and dvd directly within secure rich - media ad - units on mobile phones .
give brad pitt a dark comedy with a high body count and an extreme character to play, preferably one with a funny accent, and he comes alive. thelma and louise, snatch, burn after reading, and now inglourious basterds .
berlin – the 7: 30 p. m. showing of quentin tarantino ’s world war ii film “ inglourious basterds ” was completely sold out – like the shows that preceded and followed it at the postdamer platz sony theater in berlin .
negotiations are an important part of any war. even more important is the ability to effectively convey one’s demands during them. one of the more comical scenes in quentin tarantino’s inglourious basterds occurs during negotiations between two of the movie’s rivals: colonel hans landa of the nazi ss and lieutenant aldo raine of the american mercenary group, the basterds. when landa correctly guesses that the basterds are overseen by an american general he exclaims, “oooh, that’s a bingo. is that the way you say it, that’s a bingo? ” to which aldo replies, “you just say, bingo” (inglourious 145). colonel landa’s struggle with english slang demonstrates a theme that runs throughout the movie: the use and misuse of foreign languages. world war ii forced the contact between numerous ethnicities and, consequently, numerous languages. the impact of the exchange of languages during the war is displayed quite clearly throughout inglourious basterds. french, german, english, and italian are spoken in the movie and their usage promotes character development and is the catalyst for the emergence of conflict in tarantino’s inglourious basterds .
the director best known for horror films such as hostel and cabin fever also appears in inglourious basterds as donny donowitz. the faux nazi propaganda film nation’s pride, seen in chapter five, lasts just over six minutes and can be seen here .
inglourious basterds reminded me of why i want to be a film maker. it' s fantastic and couldn' t have come at a better time then now to solidify what i want to be doing with my future. thank you tarantino .
the debt inglourious basterds owes to to be or not to be is easy to see. tarantino’s war epic also plays with the delicate balance of light and dark, comedy and tragedy. the back half of both films are also very similar .
the nuance of the german characters has been appreciatively noted in the german reviews of inglourious basterds. what has as a rule not been noted is the utter superficiality and one - dimensionality of the jewish - american “basterds. ” indeed, though inglourious basterds is ostensibly about them, they are in fact barely more than extras in the film. when they are not slicing and dicing their german victims, they are only rarely on screen and they have hardly any dialogue — especially when compared to the german - language gab fests. only eli roth’s skull - crushing “donowitz” plays a marginally more substantial role .
making $ 3. 8 million for a $ 110. 1 million 31 - day haul, inglourious basterds surpassed pulp fiction to become quentin tarantino' s highest - grossing movie, but it will never reach that picture' s level of attendance .
the first moviegoers to see inglourious basterds on friday night were quick to tweet positive messages about the second world war adventure. that helped the film to keep up momentum over the weekend, said the hollywood reporter, despite lukewarm reviews from professional critics .
with a $ 37. 6 million opening weekend, the spaghetti western - flecked world war ii epic
inglourious basterds
has become the biggest box - office debut of quentin tarantino' s career. but it almost turned out to be quite a different movie, and if it had, there' s no telling how
basterds
would have fared .
“inglourious basterds” takes its cue from films tarantino loves (nothing new there). but this time around he mixes anti - establishment war films like “the dirty dozen” and “kelly’s heroes” with sergio leone’s spaghetti westerns to deliver a spaghetti war drama that rewrites history .
how can history have allowed hitler to dispatch himself so miserably and furtively in a dreary bunker? only a spectacular armageddon of jewish revenge of the kind inglourious basterds delivers could possibly have provided a fitting end for the führer. reality got this one wrong .
after years of on - and - off writing the script and a fourteen - week pre - production, filming of quentin tarantino' s “inglourious basterds” began on october 9, 2008 in the small german town of bad schandau, near the czech border .
there' s an intriguing haiti benefit coming up this thursday in los angeles centered around popmatters # 1 film of 2009, inglourious basterds. quentin tarantino and the weinstein company are partnering with upper playground to present
the lost art of inglourious basterds
from 6: 00 - 9: 00pm. artists were commissioned to create 13 limited edition posters that will be signed by the director and sold for haiti relief. only six reproductions of each poster will be made, so these will be highly collectible indeed .
with inglourious basterds, quentin tarantino has managed to create something entirely new: a story of emotionally uncomplicated, physically threatening, non - morally - anguished jews dealing out spaghetti - western justice to nazis. it’s a film no jewish director could have made .
but the main weakness in “inglourious basterds” is the supporting cast. tarantino normally packs his film with a brilliant supporting cast, even people with a single line prove memorable. but here, only waltz, pitt, and schweiger make a real impression. the women – diane krueger as a german actress and melanie laurent as the vengeful french resistance fighter – are lovely but bland. you don’t feel that depth of casting that has marked every other tarantino film to date. unlike “the dirty dozen, ” “inglourious basterds” doesn’t give us a whole unit of memorable soldiers. once you see “the dirty dozen” you’ll always remember john cassavetes or jim brown or telly savalas because the actors made the parts vivid. in “inglourious basterds, ” everyone except hugo and the bear jew blur together .
i found inglourious basterds, like most of tarantino’s films, to be highly entertaining, with the entertainment primarily derived from the brilliantly written dialogue. engaging dialogue has long been a great strength of tarantino. nevertheless, the film could have been so much more .
but does
inglourious basterds
— and the german public’s reaction to it — really tells us anything about germany today, about the germans’ earnest attempts to atone for their past? have the decades of earnest soul - searching come to an end? after all, yet another generation has come of age since reunification, one even further removed from the nazi era’s crimes. does the reception of
inglourious basterds
mean germans are open to thinking in new ways about the nazis and the crimes of the third reich ?
when “inglourious basterds” had its german première in berlin, after one particularly nasty scene, in which christoph waltz plays the s. s. man hans landa, an old - school murderer, sadist, and middle - brow intellectual, spontaneous applause broke out .
i disagree that the point was to use film as an opportunity to simply take revenge on the nazis. the scene where hitler expresses anger at the inglourious basterds mimicked the kind of dialogue that the allies expressed against hitler - it felt as if tarantino deliberately switched the roles that the two parties played, explored and made evident that the
bad guys
aren' t the only ones who are violent, gruesome, cruel - even the
good guys
( the inglourious basterds) can be just as unnecessarily heinous .
the 2010 bafta nominations have been announced, and three films boast a whopping eight nominations, with avatar, an education and the hurt locker leading the pack. just behind is district 9 with seven, followed by up in the air and inglourious basterds with six .
according to seesslen, the genius of
inglourious basterds
is that it “has the audacity to ignore history. ” in some cases, he argues, pure cinematic fantasy can do a better job of getting to the truth than historical authenticity: fiction trumps reality .
at cannes some questioned the tastefulness of “inglourious basterds, ” a violent revenge fantasy that, as mr. tarantino excitedly put it at his news conference, uses the power of cinema (and the flammable properties of celluloid) to “bring down the third reich. ”
2000s: brokeback mountain; crash; the hurt locker; inglourious basterds; juno; lord of the rings: fellowship of the ring; million dollar baby; monster; the pianist; slumdog millionaire; (honorary mentions: bowling for columbine; memento; twilight. )
i finally (holidays !) caught up with your comment on my inglourious basters blog. thanks for agreeing. try the current one on horror movies .
by my count, there were originally nine basterds. wicki dies in the bar, aldo and utivich survive, and donny and omar die in the theater. this means there are four basterds unaccounted for by the end of the film .
the major’s interaction with the basterds in this scene provides us insight into his character. for example, major hellstrom’s ability to recognize simple gestures is indicative of his keen observance and heightened reasoning skills. in addition, the use and misuse of foreign language in this scene facilitates conflict in inglourious basterds; it is the catalyst for the downfall of the basterds as a group and for the death of bridget once colonel landa discovers her shoe at the bar and recognizes that they were involved in the deadly actions that transpired .
inglourious basterds is a film written and directed quentin tarantino and released in 2009. it is based in world war ii and tells a fictional alternate history. without giving away too many spoilers to people that have no seen the movie as of yet, here is a synopsis :
while is no news surrounding a broadway revival of our beloved inglourious basterds (although that would be something, wouldn’t it ?), tarantino has already stated that he wants his most recent production, “the hateful eight”, to have a broadway adaptation by the end of 2016 .
and as only tarantino can, with unmatched audacity, the film' s last line is as loaded with self - referential meta - commentary as a line can be - - and i must admit, it' s right. inglourious basterds is quentin tarantino' s masterpiece .
why aren' t the basterds surprised when the theater catches on fire? that wasn' t part of their plan .
i was already half way out the door when the weinstein company put a little new year’s eve gift out for us. their website (they now allow linking to indivual movies, yay) lists august 21, 2009 (mark your calendards, you basterds !) as the official us release date for inglourious basterds. now go and party! (thanks to joblo and comingsoon for the heads up )
it’s not enough to say that “inglourious basterds” is quentin tarantino’s best movie. it’s the first movie of his artistic maturity, the film his talent has been promising for more than 15 years. the picture contains all the things his fans like about tarantino - the wit, the audacity, the sudden violence - but this movie’s emotional core and bigness of spirit are new…. “inglourious basterds” provides exhilarating release, but it’s also a deeply sad film. it leaves the audience suspended in a tangle of strong and conflicting thoughts and feelings, the hallmark of great art. ”
azoury’s notion of tarantino’s movie - centricity echoes critics here, as, for instance, j. hoberman, who writes, in the village voice, “in a sense, ‘inglourious basterds’ is a form of science fiction. everything unfolds in and maps an alternate universe: the movies. ”
he first sensed pitt could be a strong contender for the role of aldo raine, the
fast - talking, vengeance - driven hillbilly from the mountains of tennessee
who leads tarantino' s critically - divisive
inglourious basterds ,
when he was half way through writing the script .
inglourious basterds is an agglomeration of everything tarantino has learned as a filmmaker up to this point, a perfect synthesis of his penchant for mischievous violence, delectable dialogue, plot structure, his obsession with classic film scoring, and, most especially, the performances he coaxes out of his actors .
the horror - movie director eli roth—his film hostel is the most repulsively violent movie i’ve ever seen twice—plays a basterd known as the “bear jew, ” whose specialty is braining germans with a baseball bat. roth told me recently that inglourious basterds falls into a subgenre he calls “kosher porn. ”

eli roth told me that tarantino came to his home for passover just as he was wrestling with the final act of basterds .
with an opening gross of £3. 6m, inglourious basterds defied sunny skies and england' s ashes cricket triumph to post the biggest ever uk debut for a quentin tarantino film. that' s the simple version, anyway. of course, it' s a bit more complicated than that .
[ t ] oo often in
inglourious basterds
the filmmaking falls short. mr. tarantino is a great writer and director of individual scenes, though he can have trouble putting those together, a difficulty that has sometimes been obscured by the clever temporal kinks in his earlier work .
inglourious basterds won its actor christoph waltz an academy award, a golden globe, a bafta, a sag award, and a critic' s choice movie award, marking him as the 14th actor, the 8th male actor, and the 3rd male actor in a supporting role to do so .
the scene takes place toward the end of quentin tarantino' s rollicking world war ii action - drama
inglourious basterds .
as fire engulfs a parisian movie theater packed with german military commanders, pandemonium ensues, diverting attention from the real action: a heart - pounding confrontation between a crack team of nazi - terrorizing jewish covert operatives (the so - called
basterds
) and the third reich' s top brass .
london, england (cnn) - - with quentin tarantino' s recent disclosure that brad pitt
pulled out a brick of hash
for the pair to smoke during a meeting about tarantino' s new film
inglourious basterds ,
the two movie icons could today be mistaken for old roomies .
“i’m never going to explain that, ” tarantino said during a news conference in may at the cannes film festival, where “inglourious basterds” premiered. “when you do an artistic flourish like that, to describe it, to explain it, would just... invalidate the whole stroke in the first place .
quentin tarantino ’s “ inglourious basterds” almost didn’t happen. on friday, the writer - director made an appearance at the jerusalem film festival to introduce a screening of “pulp fiction” and told the crowd how he was one week away from pulling the plug on the 2009 war drama, the times of israel reports .
so if you were to hold up an index finger in western europe to represent one, they might misunderstand and think you actually meant two. though you probably wouldn' t be murdered like the spy in
inglourious basterds ,
you might have to pay for two beers instead of just the one .
the universal studios campaign, designed to drives sales of the dvd and blu - ray editions of quentin tarantino’s box - office hit inglourious basterds, is powered by adgregate markets, a provider of transactional advertising and distributed commerce technology. the company claims that this is the first - ever mobile commerce ad campaign .
quentin tarantino ’s “inglourious basterds” is a big, bold, audacious war movie that will annoy some, startle others and demonstrate once again that he’s the real thing, a director of quixotic delights. for starters (and at this late stage after the premiere in may at cannes, i don’t believe i’m spoiling anything), he provides world war ii with a much - needed alternative ending. for once the basterds get what’s coming to them .
walking out of the theater, i was buzzing: like every tarantino film, inglourious basterds delivers zippy entertainment, masterful filmmaking, and intelligent dialogue. this one, however, injects the fun with larger questions about revenge and national character. for me, the extra layer makes this tarantino' s best movie .
the
talking with your mouth full
is a common theme in a lot of sergio leone' s work, which inglourious basterds is clearly inspired by. one of the opening scenes in a fistful of dynamite is literally nothing but rich people eating rich food, the camera panning in on their open mouths .
that leaves story. inglourious basterds doesn’t really care about that, either. it just blasts ahead, full of its own energy, resisting categorization. it is not a boring film. saving private ryan has a very simple story, but its inexorable unveiling feels deep and rich. it is not an easy film .
other crucial actors in the inglorious basterds are christopher waltz acting as col. hans landa. he has been up to plenty, including acting in more of tarrantino’s movies (like django unchained), as well as being one of the top 10 liked actors of inglorious basterds) .
many reviewers in the united states have called the film a jewish revenge fantasy against the third reich, which, undoubtedly, it is. the last scene of the movie indulges this fantasy in a fantastic, yet unbelievable way. (to see the monitor film critic' s review of inglourious basterds, click here. )
we see the basterds in action in a wooded area that was part of fort hahneberg, which was built in 1888 but never actually used .
update: billboard has a great interview with quentin tarantino discussing how he picked out the music for inglorious basterds from the record room in house .
on that note, it would have been hilarious if one of the basterds had scoffed that the movie got the us army uniforms totally wrong .
tarantino’s inglourious basterds is, in short, a very german film. but, it will be asked, what could possibly be german about a film that has been described as a “jewish revenge fantasy, ” in which brad pitt’s “aldo raine” and his band of jewish “basterds” brutally kill and mutilate evil nazis, cutting off their scalps as trophies? hasn’t every jew dreamt of bashing in the heads of germans with a baseball bat à la eli roth’s “sgt. donny donowitz” ?
inglourious basterds is the bloody, fractured fairy - tale version of world war ii, cooked to a high boil of fantasy and revenge, marched into combat by the starpower of brad pitt, where the jews get a chance to put hitler in his place in real - time while punishing the dangerous psychopaths who powered the nazi death machine .
last night, the new beverly cinema in los angeles held a red carpet premiere for the dvd release of quentin tarantino’s world war ii opus inglourious basterds. the premiere featured cast and crew including tarantino, producer lawrence bender, and most of the titular “basterds”, including eli roth. collider was there to cover the event and a full write up will be available soon. however, we wanted to let you know what roth told us about his upcoming sci - fi flick, endangered species .
director enzo g. castellari of the inglorious bastards allowed quentin tarantino to use the title inglourious basterds in exchange for a cameo as a general yelling
fire !
( as castellari appears in his own film). tarantino filmed castellari as a general in the cinema pointing out the burning screen, but the scene did not make the theatrical cut .
true, but he wasn' t an original basterd. according to imdb the four awol basterds are named hirschberg, sakowitz, kagan, and zimmerman .
how come neither of the basterds who charged in the theater to kill hitler seemed to be surprised at the fire? they couldn' t have not noticed it, because the whole audience was running to the doors and the actors playing those two basterds said they almost collapsed from the heat in that scene .
the use of various foreign languages is significant throughout inglourious basterds. characters that are multilingual, particularly colonel hans landa, posses sly personalities that are used to manipulate others for their own benefit. simultaneously, a lack in multilingualism leads to the downfall of characters. however, in the end, the movie also displays that multilingualism can only aid one so much; landa is eventually cornered by the basterds and they carve a swastika into his forehead so that he may never use his abilities to manipulate others again .
in other words, torture porn' s poster boy - - the filmmaker who committed to celluloid such images as a cheerleader jumping into the air and doing a split onto a gigantic hunting knife - - and the guy who ruthlessly bludgeons, bombs and machine guns every nazi in his path in
inglourious basterds
finally got to taste the pain himself .
( entertainment weekly) - - score a personal best at the box office for quentin tarantino this weekend .
inglourious basterds ,
his revisionist take on wwii starring brad pitt, grossed an estimated $ 37. 6 million, besting the reigning box office champ
district 9 ,
and giving beleaguered studio the weinstein co. a little financial relief .
moreover, to the extent there is anything in inglourious basterds that is recognizable as an intended joke, it is the germans that tell the jokes and the americans / jews who are the butt of them. these include, for instance, a snobbish gag about the americans’ lack of knowledge of foreign languages and even a “joke” about the small stature of one of the “basterds. ” the tongue - tied americans attempting to pass themselves off as italians cut sorry, buffoonish figures as compared to the sophisticated and multilingual landa .
in the case of quentin tarantino’s inglorious basterds, the film doesn’t just have greatness in it, there’s mighty rivers of greatness simply leaking out of the thing .
inglourious basterds is a 2½ - hr. period piece  a war movie with no battle scenes and lots of talk, most of it in french or german. except for brad pitt, all of its main actors are unknown to the mass american audience. its writer - director' s last film, grindhouse, earned only $ 25 million in its entire domestic run. and harvey weinstein, whose troubled company is distributing basterds, was widely quoted as telling gq ,
it isn' t funny; it isn' t exciting... it isn' t emotionally involving... brad pitt gives the worst performance of his life .
actually, those words weren' t weinstein' s; they were from peter bradshaw' s early review of the movie in the guardian. but the appearance of the misquote on so many websites spread the idea that basterds was an iffy business proposition, and that its friday opening might prove to be a night of the long knives. (read time' s inglourious basterds review. )
the strategy clearly paid off. even at a budget price of £4, inglorious bastards has grossed well over £1m. its sales of over 300, 000 units must make it one of the bestselling italian films ever on dvd in the uk. by way of comparison, tarantino' s inglourious basterds has sold 788, 000 units, albeit at a higher price .

what are the actors from inglorious basterds up to now? there are a variety of actors that acts as casts in the inglorious basterds include the following: brad pitt is the main cast or actor in the inglorious basterds. he is an actor who has been brought out as the first lieutenant aldo “the apache” raine. his main role as the main actor in the inglorious basterds is to enhance or implement all the recruitment drives aimed at propelling forward. for instance brad pitt acting as the first lieutenant aldo “the apache” raine recruits jewish americans with the aim of ensuring that they win the war while utilizing the determination of the jewish - american soldiers .
quentin tarantino and robert rodriguez joined forces for the faux double bill “grindhouse” just a few years ago. now they find themselves with separate and very different releases going head to head at this weekend’s box office. tarantino’s serving up “inglourious basterds” (opening august 21 throughout san diego) and rodriguez delivers another one of his family films “shorts” (opening august 21 throughout san diego) .
i think tarantino knows that. the way i see it, if inglourous basterds isn' t about nazis, then it can' t explore its larger theme .
maybe the basterds shot at them first, and then they were just returning fire indiscriminately at the officer' s table, because nobody was rational at that point .
it' s been suggested that we' re expected to take brad pitt' s final line in inglourious basterds as the director' s comment on his film .
i think this just might be my masterpiece
certainly seems over the top for the routine (for the movies) bit of nazi - mutilation it apparently refers to. quentin tarantino worked on basterds for a decade. he' s said he wants it to sit alongside pulp fiction in people' s dvd collections. yet at first glance, such an ambition looks eccentric .
a tarantino film resists categorization. “inglourious basterds” is no more about war than “ pulp fiction ” is about — what the hell is it about? of course nothing in the movie is possible, except that it’s so bloody entertaining. his actors don’t chew the scenery, but they lick it. he’s a master at bringing performances as far as they can go toward iconographic exaggeration .
“the wide variety of perspectives with which the articles in this anthology approach quentin tarantino' s inglourious basterds account for the film' s large - scale significance as one of the grand works of cinematic art in the twenty - first century. therefore this book is an important contribution to the controversies tarantino' s' masterpiece' launched all across the globe. being the first collection of scholarly essays solely dedicated to inglourious basterds, it provides an excellent overview of the film' s complex and often provocative stands toward history, gender, war movie genres, violence, victimization and the representation of nazi aesthetics, as well as of the range of cinematic techniques by which the film achieves its drastic effectivity. - - mimmi woisnitza, university of chicago, germanic studies” –
so it was nazis vs aliens at the box office. in terms of negative cost, the two pics are $ 72m vs $ 30m. but i’ve learned that while district 9 only has a small gross participation for peter jackson and nobody else associated with the film, inglourious basterds has a big gross participation for both tarantino and star brad pitt. film financing circles tell me the film has to make more than $ 60m, and others say it’s $ 80m, in north america in order to earn out. but they also expect a 70% drop for inglourious basterds next weekend because most college campuses around the country will be back in session — and that’s bad for biz. which is why the weinstein company’s release of halloween 2 that weekend is so inexplicable .
inglourious basterds has nothing really to say about war — its purpose is essentially to be a quentin tarantino flick. as such, it’s excellent, probably one of his best or at least his best entertainment since pulp fiction. but i’m not looking for a revenge fantasy when i pay my admission to a movie set during the years of the holocaust. i’m looking for understanding and insight. for me, saving private ryan serves it up in a way that not only honors the men who gave their lives to defeat the nazis, it lets me feel their loss. i didn’t feel anything about inglourious basterds except sadness that a generation is now going to think aldo raines & his men ended the war by killing hitler. our smackdown winner now is saving private ryan .
inglourious basterds, the new film written and directed by quentin tarantino, has caused much fanfare, but also controversy. perhaps the principal reason for this is that the film deliberately re - writes history. indeed, last week the australian centre for jewish civilisation in association with the research unit in film and cultural theory at monash university held a well - attended panel discussion on this topic .
this movie was brilliant. brad pitt doing an tennesee accent of an eye - talian accent was fantastic. i also dare you to look at a bowie knife or a baseball bat in the same way. if only reality could have played out inglourious basterds style and we would have (spoiler alert) taken hitler out in a burnt down, blown up, machine gun riddled theater.
