"Shameless Bastard": Blast your head on behalf of the people

If a gangster in the film industry developed, what kind of movie would he make? The answer is: "Shameless Bastard." That's right, this is a standard gangster feast. Every frame of film from beginning to end is filled with blood and vulgar things-this is an out-and-out Quentin work. There is only one store, no other branches.
What is war? What is history? The rule of the game is: as long as you are "politically correct", then this will become a piece of bone to resist all moral criticism. The MPAA gave "Inglourious Basterds" an R grade, but this time the film critics can no longer accuse Quentin of "dirty and obscene thief"-the flashback of the sex scene is to vilify Goebbels, and the final burst of blood is to assassinate Hitler. And Goring, even the violent scene of Eli Rose waving a baseball bat and beating the head of a man has been given the color of justice and revenge-I blast your girl's head on behalf of the people, what else can you quibble? Ever since, under the amulet of "political correctness", Quentin arbitrarily showed his B-level taste in the "Ring Room"-of course, this time also added the big handsome Brad Pitt, and according to According to Hollywood standards, the films led by handsome guys are naturally mainstream big productions rather than B-grade Cults (the box office has proven this to be true).

The artistic technique of the film is actually played according to routines, but this kind of weird routines that are frequently used is currently almost only Quentin can skillfully use. The story is divided into five paragraphs, but this does not have a structural effect. The plot still flows from stage to stage in chronological order. Of course, handsome Boo is still well-dressed. He first speaks fluent Button-style American language to a group of rogue villains, and then walks freely in the Nazi territory. The decent white dresses are quite spotless with the essence of 007; while the plot of pretending to be a Nazi scalp is obviously a tribute to the famous "Legend of Autumn".
Eli Roth is obviously very popular with Quentin. With his figure, the role of "Jewish Bear" is actually not very convincing, but because he and Quentin are in the "Wala Bang" (director group specializing in small-cost bloody horror films). ) With the friendship forged with the "Hollywood Horror Masters Sorority", Quentin still let him once again show his unique aesthetic taste-but what is it to blast the head of the Nazi soldiers, Eli in his own " In "Human Skin Inn", a Japanese girl's eyeballs were blown directly with an alcohol blowtorch.

Christopher Woz was a pleasant surprise. Sure enough, the Cannes actor was not built. The SS officer Hans he played was actually a bourgeois speculator in his bones. The hunting of Jews was nothing but a lucrative business for him, buddy. There is no ideological standpoint at all. In order to protect himself, he can immediately rebel (based on the principle of "political correctness", perhaps it is more appropriate to call it "abandoning the dark and throwing light"), but he met an American gangster, a gangster from all over the world. The best of ——So, Hans's forehead was also neatly drawn with a swastika pattern on his forehead. Woz's acting skills are also reflected in his profound line skills. First, he performed Quentin’s chattering and hidden mystery monologues freely, and secondly, he can also freely play between English, French, German and even Italian. Switch audio channels-in fact, "Inglourious Basterds" can be nominated for Oscar for Best Picture and Best Foreign Language Film at the same time.
At the time of "Garrison", the officers who led the team were still within the system. Playing the "Allied Forces" video game also had to pay attention to strategy and tactics-but what about the "shameless bastards"? The leader was the biggest bastard (a bootlegger before he joined the army), who didn't understand German and didn't make sense; the brothers killed the Nazis with submachine guns, and they didn't have any technical content. In terms of manifestation, the "shameless bastard" squad is no different from terrorists-they finally used the "body bomb" tactics that have been condemned in international news. It seems that Quentin's well-known principle of "political correctness" once again played the role of the card.

What's wrong with parody? It was originally a movie like a video game, just study it, don't take it seriously. Movies are just movies. Who would believe that Hitler, Goebbels, and Goering were all killed in a Paris movie theater, and the Second World War ended in 1944? In the same way, no one would take the emotions and even life in "Shameless Bastard" seriously: the specious love triangle between Jewish girls, French blacks, and Nazi fighters The anti-Jews scandal in history), the German movie star did not hesitate to go through fire and water in order to assassinate Hitler (80% of them were hated by the unspoken rule postscript), and the German non-commissioned officer whose father died after only five hours (by the way Father and daughter in the tavern).
The only thing that makes me feel uncomfortable with Niu Cha-shinyin's "Shameless Bastard" is why the film critic messed up the mission and died immediately as soon as the film critic appeared?

    I think a good director should not focus on special effects or visual effects, but on every line and every plot. Quentin's work has achieved the ultimate in this regard.

    The plot is actually pretty good, but I generally don’t like war movies

Inglourious Basterds quotes

  • Lt. Aldo Raine: You probably heard we ain't in the prisoner-takin' business; we in the killin' Nazi business. And cousin, business is a-boomin'.

  • Col. Hans Landa: What a tremendously hostile world that a rat must endure. Yet not only does he survive, he thrives. Because our little foe has an instinct for survival and preservation second to none... And that, Monsieur, is what a Jew shares with a rat.
