Inglourious Basterds

[Rabelais]

I watched the movie a few months ago. The impression that I was left with was that this would one day be taught as documentary history. I would like to know who funded the production.

Edit: I just read this at SOTT. More fabricated history. It appears that the ancestors of the zionists also built the Great Pyramid. http://www.sott.net/articles/show/224510-Egyptian-stolen-treasures-Hawass-implicated

I really enjoyed this movie, and im not a QT fan, i dont even like pulp fiction.
I didnt have a problem with the violence, because im sure it was a pretty realistic film, although it is supposed to be a comedy. Unlike most WW2 films which shows soldiers in a better light - fighing for their country, honourable men, who back home would of been the perfect husband and father.

Its the only war film that hasnt made me cringe and feel sick at all the BS.

I bet the truth is that war gives alot of people the chance to be violent, and act out alot of repressed desires.
Nowadays no-one is forced to join up, but many do.

I would say that while no one is drafted, many are still 'forced' into the military, due to lack of jobs or other options.

Id rather die of starvation rotting in a subway than 'fight for my country'.

Yes , that was it's purpose like it's with all other violence on TV and movies, to become passive on it, that it seems something normal so you wouldn't object seeing it or doing it because that's the way things go around here, it's always good to put something funny to silence that conscious alarm in your hearth and critical alarm in your head so to make it more acceptable.

And many think it's a game but they realize it's not after it's to late that cost is to high. Don't even mentioning that it only makes army stronger and it's like some kind of militarization takes place where you will have only army and homeless people in country, which is perfect combination if you want totalitarian rule!

I knew it was violent, and i wouldnt accept violence if i saw it, or be violent to anyone. Dont make out im that impressionable please! :)

That's how desensitization works. A person who doesn't like violence learns to like violent movies. So - might want to reconsider the idea that you're not impressionable. ;)

Well it might work like that for some people. Im not dis-agreeing for the sake of it. I was abused as a child for years violently. Yet my whole life ive stood up against abuse of any kind.
I was a victim of very extreme underhand physcological abuse. I think thats why i dont mind watching physical aggression being played out on screen. Its not hidden in anyway. Its not pretending to be anything than what it is.
Just to add more - I dont watch boxing etc etc, so i dont like watching 'real life' violence.
Maybe im not 'typical', im probably a pretty complicated individual. (and i dont mean that in a good or bad way)

Pretty much everyone feels that they're not typical - we're special in some way, different, more or less wounded, more or less sensitive, more or less whatever. The fact of the matter is that the whole idea that we think we're not 'typical' usually proves how typical we are. If we use this idea that we're 'not like others' to hide from actually looking at ourselves and what we so desperately need to work on in order to be free from programs that control our behavior (including thinking we're special, therefore certain things don't apply to us) then - we never move one inch from where we are. Most of us want to move that inch - so - it's usually really beneficial to learn to stop assuming that we're 'not like others' and 'things don't apply to us'. Just some food for thought.

Tarantino thinks he's rock n' roll and subversive, but this film, like pretty much everything he's done except perhaps Jackie Brown, is just psychotic at the end of the day. There's no pulse, there's no heart, there's no empathy, and no sympathetic characters. It's been a while since I've seen it, but Zio-fascist, revenge-fuelled ego stroking would sum it up for me.

Check out Burt Lancaster's Nazi confessing how he turned his own life into excrement in Judgement at Nuremburg for a proper war film, one that pulses with empathy for all who suffered. The poor ponerised Germans in their bars in massacred cities, singing mournful songs. Them too...

Eli Roth made the Hostel films? Well there you go! I hear those films make Hellraiser look like Carry On Camping! The "abused becoming the abuser dynamic", again and again. Not to mention the exploitation of victims for political gain, typical psycho fare.

The fact of the matter is that the whole idea that we think we're not 'typical' usually proves how typical we are

So true! There's so much atypicality about these days, typical!

I tried quoting what you wrote anart, but couldnt.

Thats why i love this place. (no sarcasm) Cant say anything without having a program picked up. Thats why i stopped posting, as it was too much work for me to think about my behaviour all the time. :)
I am very appreciate of it though. :)

That's probably correct, but I would disagree that their are no sympathetic characters. The character of Shoshanna/Emmanuelle, IMO, was the heart of the film. I think it would be difficult not to sympathize with her situation. Besides her, yes it's all those things you've mentioned. Not that her character redeems the film from all that, but at least it contains a bit of heart.

 

[Skipling]

Yep Heimdallr, she was the heart of the film. especially considering what she endured at the beginning of the movie from the infamous "Jew Hunter". She was in the back of my mind, but funnily I neglected to mention her. Silly of me actually.

David Duke gave a very telling synopsis on YouTube on this movie and Hostel. I saw the movie and was turned off by it. Because, I tend to watch/observe what is below the surface and see the hidden agenda. I am getting really turned off by most Hollywood productions and the totally chaotic commercials on TV. This is a true poison to humanity, negative programing and getting worse by the day....Sadly, I think of it as a barometer of how sick our society has become.

Well, I think Eli Roth is over exagerating, I mean seriously if we follow his point of view then afro-american in the United State should hate all the whites and at the moment a civil war should be made because of what happened in the past. Thankfully not everyone is like that guy, because honestly if we had more people like him Earth would have been a bloodbath since long ago.
