Inglourious Basterds
- Thread starter subigo
- Start date
Just saw it although it didn't have any subtitles so I only understood the English and German part 100% and parts of the French.
I like it, but was surprised by the ending, I assumed it would be much more true to history.
I'm half German and it didn't get me offended.
You're seeing this from the wrong angle. If he was German, chances are relatives of his got killed in the war. I had three uncles die. No matter if they were on the good or bad side (again, chances are they couldn't choose), they died and probably meant something to him.

exactly, never thought of it like that until he explained it - think of every great WW2 movie, it's always about demonizing the Germans, not all of them were evil, but the growing demonization hasn't stopped. So new generations who would like to move on can't do it.
looking forward to seeing the movie still, just not with the bloodthirst I had the first time I saw the preview
Really enjoyed this movie. One of Tarantino's better movies, this decade at least.
Bradd Pitt was hilarious and the Jew Hunter (Christoph Waltz) was brilliant.
FYI - A lot of subtitles in this one and a fair bit of dialogue and character development but also some really nice good ol fashioned brutal Tarantino style violence and gore.

The movie All Quiet on the Western Front is pretty awesome. It's the story of a German soldier in World War I but the circumstances for the soldiers in WWII were pretty similar from the one in WWI. Makes it somewhat easier understand what was going on, how the whole propaganda machine worked and how the soldiers were tricked into thinking they were doing the right thing. Both Goebbles and Hitler were propaganda geniuses.
Saw it last night. At first had a little trouble taking Pitt's character seriously at all but by the end of the film I couldn't get enough of him. The rest of the cast was brilliant as well.
Definitely worth seeing.

Or just an opinion that differs from yours. Just because your taste dictates a movie is better doesn't say the same for the rest of us ffs
from RottenTomatoes:
Inglourious Basterds: 88% positive rating
District 9: 89% positive rating
Looks like you're the one with the 'really bad taste'. Get over yourself
you're comparing two way different kinds of film.
and fuck rotten tomatoes. i don't need a bunch of shit bloogers and even shittier newspaper writers to tell me what i like.
I'm not comparing anything, I haven't seen either film. What I'm pointing out is that buddy above called another guy a troll or someone with poor taste because he didn't share the same opinion about a fucking movie.
Guess what? No one gives a shit what you like, that's YOUR opinion. Your opinion is worth nothing more than the opinions of the 'shit bloggers and even shittier newspaper writers'. Actually, one could argue that your opinion is worth less then theirs when it comes to movies, since it's their job to review movies.
Just like your opinion would be worth a slightly larger pile of jack fuck all than Ebert's if he was reviewing affiliate networks.
Bottom line is that it's pretty fucking retarded to insult someone because they have pose a different opinion about the better of two movies than you do. Especially when professional movie reviewers clearly have spoken that each film is excellent in its own way.
Oh fuck you, you whiny prick. District9 sucked and if you see it, and like it, your opinion sucks too. Because my opinion is superior to yours in every way.
lol... Maybe. But I'm just showing him that there's a difference between jabbing someone for liking a movie that (I think) sucks and really insulting them.
saw the late show last night. the theatre was insanely packed (and we rolled in later than we should have) so we got stuck in the 2nd row.
great dialog, action, plot with emphasis on whoring out stereotypes and cliches then twisting them. very good flick.

Really didn't like it.
It had a plot, but there was no real opposition to it. In a movie where you know who will win, I feel like the enemy has to put up a better fight to keep the movie interesting.
