Quentin's drama-the great avenger

After watching this film with a feeling of not being afraid of nausea, I felt a little disappointed in my heart. But when Otto's knife was slashed heavily in front of the officer's forehead, oozing bright red blood, I smiled relievedly. Looking back at many of Quentin's works, there are not too many uncomfortable scenes in this film. Those splashes of blood, those blurring of flesh and blood, and the muffled noise of those sharp weapons pierced into the body can always awaken people's most primitive memories.
The plot of the story developed at will, and it was stable at first, until the young major questioned from the corner, the story began, and I also woke up. I don’t understand too much theoretical knowledge, nor do I know the deep meaning of the seemingly non-existent in the movie. Maybe I expressed too many sensory things. I only remember when Otto put his finger in the female spy Bridget. The piercing pain in the bullet wound made me feel the same.
Speaking of the background of the story, it was Nazi Germany in the specific environment of France during World War II. There are two lines in the story. One is the revenge of the Jewish survivor Susanna, and the other is the anti-Nazi plan of the death squad headed by Otto. The two are brought together and ended at the premiere of the movie "Honor of the Country". .
In addition to the common Quentin-style violent beauty scenes, there are also some innocent scenes that even touched me. One is the scene where Susanna and her admirer Frederick both shot each other down. A few words flashed in my mind: love, war, hatred, honor. In the last scene, looking down on the panorama, two young people who should have loved each other lay down in a pool of blood and sacrificed in the hatred of the nation. The second is when Susanna’s boyfriend received Susanna’s death signal, he smiled and said, "Yes, Susanna." The calmness and loyalty at that moment really moved me. I imagined his mood at that moment. Is that loyalty to love? Or reverence for your own nation-state? Perhaps these emotions are there, and it is these emotions that enable him to sacrifice himself for it and take it easy. The last picture is of two unremarkable and even clumsy death squad members. When the fire spread to the entire movie theater, all the Germans were running away, but these two brave fighters were not afraid and were still shooting with machine guns. The "enemy" had no plans to escape, which left a deep impression on me. Otto’s order (to kill a hundred Nazis) gave them this
Great courage? Perhaps it is the embodiment of the national spirit! It was loyalty that made them great heroes at that moment. It is the theme of the last chapter of the movie-the great avenger.
The story is over, Hans the "Jewish hunter" becomes the most funny clown, and of course he also got the indelible mark of his life. Compared with the previous works, the narrative of the story is more coherent, the plot of the story is more interesting, and the connotation of the story expression is more thorough.
The mission is over, the Nazis are dead, and everything is restored to peace in Hans's wailing.

Inglourious Basterds quotes

  • 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.

  • Lt. Aldo Raine: [Drawing a map] Up the road apiece, there's an orchard. Now, besides you, we know there's another kraut patrol fuckin' around there somewhere. Now if that patrol were to have any crackshots, that orchard would be a goddamn sniper's delight. Now, if you ever want to eat a sauerkraut sandwich again, you gotta show me on this here map where they are, you gotta tell me how many there are, and you gotta tell me what kinda artillery they're carrying with 'em.

    Sgt. Werner Rachtman: You can't expect me to divulge information that would put German lives in danger.

    Lt. Aldo Raine: Well, now Werner, that's where you're wrong, because that's exactly what I expect. I need to know about Germans hiding in them trees, and you need to tell me, and you need to tell me right now. Now, just take that finger of yours and point out on this here map where this party's being held, how many's coming, and what they brought to play with.

    Sgt. Werner Rachtman: [puts his hand over his heart] I respectfully refuse, sir.

    Lt. Aldo Raine: [a smack is heard offscreen] Hear that?

    Sgt. Werner Rachtman: Yes.

    Lt. Aldo Raine: That's Sgt. Donny Donowitz. You might know him better by his nickname: "The Bear Jew". Now, if you heard of Aldo the Apache, you gotta have heard of the Bear Jew.

    Sgt. Werner Rachtman: I've heard of the Bear Jew.

    Lt. Aldo Raine: What d'you hear?

    Sgt. Werner Rachtman: He beats German soldiers with a club.

    Lt. Aldo Raine: He bashes their brains in with a baseball bat is what he does. Now, Werner, I'm gonna ask you one last goddamn time, if you still respectfully refuse, I'm callin' the Bear Jew over. He's gonna take that big bat of his, and he's gonna beat your ass to death with it. Now, take your wiener schnitzel lickin' finger and point out on this map what I want to know.

    Sgt. Werner Rachtman: [after brief pause] Fuck you... and your Jew dogs!

    [the Basterds all laugh]

    Lt. Aldo Raine: Actually, Werner, we're all tickled to here you say that. Quite frankly, watchin' Donny beat Nazis to death is the closest we ever get to goin' to the movies. Donny!

    Sgt. Donny Donowitz: [from offscreen] Yeah?

    Lt. Aldo Raine: We got a German here who wants to die for his country! Oblige him!
