Inglorious Basterds

[sqrage]

Really, no threads about this?

Awesome movie, as usual from Quentin Terrantino. Extremely violent though, good for some, better for others. (And bad for some.)

I liked it. Definitely not what I was expecting, though.

Me neither. Wasn't expecting that much violence and people said there was a lack of Brad Pitt...but I disagree highly.

 

[ElderKingpin]

so was it an action-comedy? thats what it sounds like

I loved this film. I did not think it was as violent as you seem to be making it out to be, but then maybe I've just been desensitized by years of playing violent video games and watching Die Hard since the age of 9

It felt unique in its style (apparently it is very Tarantino-esque, at least that's what my friend told me (I have not seen any other Tarantino film)) and was also quite funny in places.

Also, it is not very historically accurate

i dont think you can dispute it being violent, people getting scalped, getting shot in the head until it dissintegrates, getting beat to death with a baseball bat, 100s of people burning alive and nazi signs being carved into foreheads. I prolly missed a few things

 

[T.s.e]

The title is so annoying :/
Inglorious bastards would be a better choice >_>

 

[thewrongvine]

Very thoughtful...

I heard the Brad Pitt Italian speaking part was funny.

I never said it wasn't violent. Just that it doesn't seem so much to me

Its spelled incorrectly on purpose to distinguish it from an older film titled Inglorious Bastards. I like the misspelling, it gives it a unique feel.

Anyway, the movie was phenomenal. Another brilliant film by Tarentino. To those who didn't expect the level of violence, I can only ask: Have you seen QT's other movies? (one of them is called Kill Bill for god's sake) Anyway, I can't advise the movie highly enough. The last line (and scene) of the film was mindblowingly good.

 

[Tru_Power22]

Yeah the movie s pretty god damned violent. Some of it is actually pretty brutal.

HITLER DIES!

 

[Jaujarahje]

I didn't find it that violent compared to tarantinos other films

Spoiler

Yea it shows someone getting scalped and a swastika getting carved into someones forehead but still, not that much

Maybe violent is the wrong word, its not as gory as you would expect from tarantino. And I was actually dissapointed by this movie. It was still good, just nto as good as it coulda been. Hint to any who see this in theaters, when its at the seen in a tavern, leave to go to the washroom then, its long and most of it is pointless. They coulda cut out 45 minutes of the movie and not missed anything important. Also Brad Pitt is fucking amazing in the movie

 

[sqrage]

Tavern scene was great and it leads up to everything that happens afterward...

And I personally don't think any of his previous movies were as gory.

 

[DogOfHavoc]

The tavern scene was probably the best in the entire movie.

 

[Seb!]

Terrific movie. Tarantino builds some of the most intense, insane, suspenseful, entertaining scenes. That first scene with the French dairy farmer was near perfect and the tavern scene was good, too.

 

[Jaujarahje]

Really? Hm, The tavern seen had decent parts, but when they're just doing small talk and playing cards, I found that extremely boring

 

[Tru_Power22]

Yeah, but it was build up and with out the proceeding scenes wouldn't have been nearly as good.

Watch it again, it's definitely more eventful than you're thinking. It reveals a lot about the characters.

 

[Jaujarahje]

Spoiler

Most of the people in the main part of that scene die at the end of it though so you don't really need to know more

 

[DogOfHavoc]

The dialogue was witty and the characters were so believable. I could feel the tension in the room.
