TheKlaus93, you are exactly Adolf's kind of man - ignorant, stupid, hateful scum.

When I first saw "Inglourious Basterds" in Summer 2009, I confess that I was repulsed by it: I couldn't tell if QT was making a movie that endorsed torture and all other things. This interview he did with Maddow really opened my eyes. While QT is correct to point out that the movie is not an outright politicaly allegory, the connections he makes to Guantanamo have relevance. And I love how he insists that the film doesn't simply paint all Germans as monstrous freaks: "I don't play it that easy."

Hey, I guess the lib media is ok with jews killing people, just look how their lips are glued to israel's asshole.

@KalleSacanaBlomkvist Sorry, but neither the violence nor the dialog in Inglourious Basterds are "weak moments". There isn't even as much violence in it as you'd exepct from a movie about a group of soldiers who are out to scalp their enemies. The violence that IS in the movie is there as characterization. The dialog, too, is there for suspense, and to give the characters depth (a German talks like a German would, etc. )

If any of those are excessive to you, you didn't understand the movie.

Fuck, I want to see these two together more often

@lildstryr In fact, by Tarantino I enjoy fun, entertaining dialogs, references to other movies, good hand with actors, playing with the story line, challenging the viewers´ expectations of good taste.

Yet, he DOES exaggerate the use of graphic violence in all of his movies. the Basterds suffer in addition from too long, lame and boring dialogs. Not even Tarantino is free from weaker moments ...

@TheKlaus93 Somebody needs a hug from his mommy!

[lildstryr]

@KalleSacanaBlomkvist You're missing the point. Not every director should follow the guidelines you've set forth that make one "good" at what they do. And not every film need be elegant in all aspects of its execution. Sometimes films are just fun---so the director blows things up and violence abounds. Well, with Basterds he married aspects of two very different sides of filmmaking. I highly suggest learning to appreciate movies that are...fun. Then you'll get why this is so good. Context...

I like the way Brad Pitt's character just says "Hey, Donny, we've got a German out here, wants to die for country. Oblige him."

For once, a war movie shows how stupid and anticlimactic nationalism is.
