Tarantino's "Inglourious Basterds"

My sentiments exactly. It's like those cheapo performances and such of those who falsly portrayed German Sldiers as Oafs in those 1940s and 1950s movies-which BTW-I love thopse movies and will alway scontinue to like them as long as hollywoodlandsburgsvillsdorfsstadtsbergsskis-idiot filmmakers continue to make shoddy crap movies like this latest installment of over-user of illegal drugs-addict-quent-made.

 

Breaking down and ordered it from blockbuster. On its way.

 

Well I watched it and my opinion has not changed. I went in with the expectation of it being purely entertainment. It was too 'pulp fictionish'. The music score sucked. It seems that Brad Pitt has lowered the quality in scripts he accepts. I can see how younger folks may like this movie judging by many of today's hollywood hits. Sad to see Til Schweiger in such a crappy movie. Some parts were good but overall just a bad film. Tarantino's flicks are predictable just as is Spike Lee's.

 

I applaud you sir. My opinion on this film differs from yours, but I am glad that you have taken the time to see the film rather than spout on about how bad it is without seeing it. For that alone you have my respect.

 

It isn't like those remarks are baseless, everyone is coming to that conclusion from the marketing material used for the film. It could have had a ending where the entire Wehrmacht overthrows Hitler and the Nazi's at the end of the film but if your marketing material is "5 minutes, 5000 dead Nazi's" it won't leave a good impression of the film now would it?

 

Oh NO, Ikes gone to "the dark side". Heh heh read you 2nd post on it-and that would have been what i'd have said had I ordered this movie. The next step would be to have donated it to the public library or someplace like that-just top get it out of my collection.

 

As this piece of garbage was taken from the original piece of garbage-one does NOT have to go watch this new PoG in order to get an OPINION about said new remake PoG of a PoG. Capish?

 

Hello Carl,

go and watch the movie ... it is a damn good movie - if one has humor and doesnt expect a historical battle movie, but damn fine and sarcastic acting - this is the movie to watch.

Hell.., I found the movie HOT FUZZ, a great comedy with Brit humor and a good dip of sarcasm.
No one is going to debate on this movie in regards to the real live of a London Metro or countryside policeman.

Go and watch....

No, no capish on this one actually. It would seem that when I said earlier that Tarantino's movie was not a remake you must have glossed over the line/post. Let me break it down for you a bit so perhaps you'll understand. Of course you could watch both films and see for yourself, but since that isn't going to happen allow me to set the record straight.

Spoiler alert for those who care.

Inglorious Bastards (1978) Titled Quel maledetto treno blinda in Italy which loosely means That damned Armored Train. This film, directed by Enzo G. Castellari, is about american G.I's that are in prison for various reasons being transported when they are attacked by Nazi's and escape in the resulting fight. While on the run they head for Switzerland. Along the way they kill some other G.I.'s in german uniform and take their place on a mission to disable and steal a prototype gyroscope from a V2 rocket on an armored train.

Inglourious Basterds (2009) directed by Quentin Tarantino. This film is about Hans Landa, the jew hunter, hunting down the Dreyfus family. The family is in hiding and only the daughter, Shosanna, survives Landa's massacring of the family. Sanwiched into the story of Landa and Shosanna are the Basterds, a group of jewish americans who sole purpose is to terrorize the german army before the Normandy invasion takes place.

Shosanna, after escaping, now owns a movie theater at which the german version of Audie Murphy visits and takes a liking to Shosanna who is now under the name Emmanuelle. The young german, Fredrick Zoller, takes a liking to Shosanna/Emmanuelle and convinces Joseph Goebbels to hold the premier of his new film about Fredrick killing hundreds of allied soldiers at Shosanna's theater.

Shosanna and the basterds, independant of each other, both set up plots to kill Hilter and Goebbel who are both in attendence at that very theater for the premier.

There are only about 8 german army soldier deaths in this film. Also there is a theater on fire with german officers in it that die. On the flip side, of the 9 Basterds, 7 of them die along with a whole messload (140+) allied soldiers die in Goebbels film that is being played in the theater. Contrast this to the 40+ nazi's that die in The Dirty Dozen or any other WW2 movie done from the viewpoint of the allies.

I don't care if you hate it. I could care less if you ever see the film. Your opinion is that it is garbage, hey that's fine too, it's your right, but for pete's sake at least get the facts straight. Saying Tarantino's Basterds is a remake of Castellari's Bastards is like saying that Star Trek is a remake of War of the Worlds because they both involve aliens. It's absurd and make you look foolish. Capish?

 

Respect is a key element that we will enforce on this forum and disrespect from any member to another will not go down well at all. It would do you well to show this respect regardless of what the other member has posted. IF you are thinking he is wrong, then discuss the situaition. But do not come into these threads attempting to start flame wars with other members.

I hope you understand and will see the error of your ways.

 

Hott Fuzz is a fantastic Flick!

Pegg and Frost are a duo I always enjoy to see in a movie.

 

LOL, not quite. I put it on my Blockbuster Online queue. no extra $$$ spent so I don't feel robbed. Again, if you are a tarantino fan, it is typical.

 

SicklyBug: And what about for the people that didn't watch the movie? They certainly would have taken something away from the trailers, a group of American Jews killing a crap ton of "fanatical Nazi's".

One only watches a movie if the premise, marketing material, etc intrigue them, those are also what factor opinion regardless of whether one has watched the film or not.

As an aside, Hot Fuzz is great! True to the book material from what I'm hearing. The main people behind it are doing a third film as well since Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, and the third film are part of a trilogy called "Blood, and Ice Cream" or something like that.

 

I am in no way implying that everyone should see the movie. If that is how I am coming across then I apologize. What I am saying that it's not really fair to say that anyone knows exactly what a movie is about by the trailer alone. Having seen the film myself I can say that the trailer grossly misrepresents what the film is about. I expected more stuff involving the Basterds when I saw it in the theater, based on what the trailer presented.

The example of judging a film by the trailer alone is what I have been trying to point out, that some falsely believe that Tarantino's film is somehow a remake. I feel I illustrated that one is not a remake of the other in my last post. By showing that this film is not a remake of Inglorious Bastards was a way to point out that one can not understand everything about this film without seeing it.

I have not and will not request that anyone sees the film. Nor, will I ask that anyone likes it. I do however feel it's silly to think, that based on a trailer alone, that anyone can know everything about a film in order to call it bad without seeing it first.

I have seen many here call the film Pearl Harbor a bad film, in fact some have said it's the worst WW2 movie. I have not seen the film yet, so I don't feel its right for me to judge said film before seeing it. Although I do look forward to seeing it so I can make an informed choice on my like or dislike of the flick. That is all I am simply asking anyone to do is judge this film and any other for that matter after seeing it/them rather than assuming everything about a movie can be gleamed from a trailer, review or article..

 

Hi my friend, i'd rather get my butt whipped by a table full of Fallschirmjagers ;-)) And that doesn't sound too appeitzing either ;-))

 

Capish or no Capish-I still hate tarantinos garbage movies. I can't stand the guy or his flicks. I TRIED to give 2 of his movies a chance-but hated both on watching them (Kill Bill)

 

You should watch Pulp Fiction, one of the few Tarantino films that I liked.

 

Right great movie too man - but Dusk till Dawn beat them all

Hey maybe Tarantino is going to bring up an upgraded Green Berets for Carl, VC's tortured with pongi sticks and Viet-Minh pulverised in tunnels by a Napalm carring F-105 squadron.

I bet he's going to watch that one,
For more info on the trailer Carl... please contact me.

Good wat to get it. I MIGHT consider ordering it through Netflix. If I spent $1 on it? I might feel like I was robbed of 75 cents.

 

I did watch a little of this movie but-still found John Travolta evulting to watch.
