Inglourious Basterds...(spoilers)

Alright, I finally watched this movie and I thought it was absolutely awesome. Not only that, but it seemed like nothing really happened in this movie, but it was still awesome. By that I mean, it was almost all story but it was so good it kept the viewer attached and excited...anywho

The only part I didn't like was the cinema where the woman (Sousana or w/e) "showed" herself and let the Germans know they were gonna die. That whole scene felt pushed (with the whole Hitler getting his ass pelted over and over by bullets).

I'm not trying to convert anyone to my opinion about the movie, I just wanna know if anyone else feels the same or am I missing a huge part to that whole scene.

Thanks in advance!

I watched it the other day for the first time and i hated it, one of the most boring movies of the year to be honest

Yeh, but a hot chick got more screen time by having that part. So I don't mind. AAllxxjjnn

I thought the cinema scene was very well done. She wanted to let the Germans know that a reversal of fortunes had occured. They had been killing Jews, now a Jew is going to kill them. As for the Hittler bit, imagine if you were jewish, and Hittler was laying in front of you. I'm sure you would want to commit unspeakable things to him.

Not doubting that at all, but I'm not Jewish. So maybe that part wasn't meant for people like me. I'm not condemning the movie at all for that part, but it just felt pushed onto the movie seeing as how we have no idea how he died (unless I'm mistaken).

It just felt like he was trying to go over the top, which I think should never be felt by the audience.

I think part of Quentin Tarantino films' charm is their extravagance.

I'm drunk atm, so if this doesn't make sense, please exuse me...

[QUOTE="Chutebox"]

[QUOTE="biggest_loser"] Yeah but it really sounded like the first guy was expecting an action movie or something. Its a really clever film. So much smarter than that lousy trailer they released for it. biggest_loser

It's rare that I can say a film kept me interested in more ways than the "action".

[QUOTE="nowayjose09"]I want to start by saying I really enjoyed it. But, the more I think about it - and having watched it a second time, I've started to think it's typical Tarantino. He tries to show how intelligent he is through convoluted dialogue. I dunno. Still thoroughly enjoyed it, just had difficulty watching it again.Frenzyd109

unlike reservoire dogs and pulp fiction. this movie was 100% understandable for me the first time through. the timeline isnt jambled, nor is the plot hard to get.

bastards - lets kill some nazi's and blow up this theater

shoshana - im gonna blow up my theater to kill nazi's

jew hunter - thats a bingo!

Haven't seen it yet, but I heard that Brad Pitt is barely in the movie but he is advertised all over the place. Is this true?

Christoph Waltz is great. He better win Best Supporting Actor.

Somewhat. He still plays a key role, and is very humorous. But he is not the lead.

most good drama's are mostly talking / not acting if you think of it as not an action movie, then its great. i went to it in theaters thinking itd be like most his movies, more kill bill than PF since thats his current style. i realized quickly that it wouldnt be a action movie, acclimated to it, and loved it. seriously, we are in the ADD generation. people are all over movies like avatar, then never watch amazing movies that god forbid.. dont have any action.tormentor313

It was a pretty long movie with some epic moments but throughout the movie I thought "what time is it" and at the end I thought "thats it?". I loved it but not as much as Pulp Fiction. Both had excellent endings.

Really the only complaint I have about this movie is the story is kind of weak. It seems like Tarantino was thinking more about making a movie with fun scenes than a movie with a great story.

That scene where the screen burns up is integral to rounding out QT's idea of a "director as God". Its basically a reflection of himself and this entire movie. As the "God" over this film he can direct us into anything that he wants. "Once Upon a Time in Nazi Occupied France" - its a fairytale. He allows us to see our expectations and then subverts them. Just like the Nazis in the film everything that they expected to see was turned upside down by a filmmaker. biggest_loser

ahh. thats an interesting take on it.

anyway, i thought the movie was terrific, tarantinos best by a massively huge mile, and one of the best films i've ever seen. its a real masterpiece, and should at least be nominated for best picture. in my top 5 movies defo.

Best movie i watched in a long time...

The ending was just pure win ! :D
All the chaos, fire, shooting, dying, collapsing, then the whole place just exploded... haha it was just so over the top like the rest of the movie.

And i gotta hand it to Brad and Waltz, they owned this flick...
-"your the jew hunter...."
-"thats aaa bingoooo!... is that how you say it? thats a bingo?"
Pitts face after that one was priceless

I loved the movie, it was just well made with tension, and I have to agree he used his music really well with the music even though I sometimes thought the music choice was a little random

I loved the movie but didn't think it was Quentin's best movie ever made. Pulp Fiction was the best

...seeing as how we have no idea how he died (unless I'm mistaken).

Chutebox

He committed suicide in the 'Fuhrerbunker' along with his newlywed wife, Eva Braun. They both swallowed poison and shot themselves.

I'll never forget the Italian speaking scene. Simply marvellous.

Great movie overall, some good acting in it too; and yes there really is s special rung in hell reserved for men who waste good Skotch.
