What Quentin is saying in the movie is that there is no justice or evil in war and everyone is a jerk. The history of war is grim. From the beginning of the story, the farmer confesses Susannah's family to the abominable Jewish hunter in order to escape Nazi harassment. Officer Hans caused the tragedy to happen in the first chapter. There is a detail that is that when the farmer provided information to Hans, his glasses became wet. At that time, he only felt remorse and helplessness for himself, and he felt that he was an asshole. For him, it was something he had to do, otherwise his family would also be invaded, and finally he chose to lose his humanity to give up the lives of others. The war not only made him helpless to face it, but also made him lose his humanity. Isn't that what the war brought about? indifference and cruelty
Chapter 2 The American officer Aldo led eight Jewish hunters into the war zone and killed the Germans with brutal methods. The methods were quite dehumanizing, from scalping to Jewish bears hitting German officers with sticks. Very bloody Quentin is not only here It shows the ruthlessness of war and also expresses the hatred in the hearts of the warriors at that time, and then vents the hatred. No matter what method is used, I would rather lose my personality and knock down the enemy to the ground. At that time, everyone was a bastard, but everything was possible. Cause this is war
The film develops to the third chapter, the third year of Susannah's escape. She inherits her aunt's cinema and gets to know the German hero starring in National Glory. Frederick happens to be an absolute good opportunity for Frederick to befriend her, but based on Suzanne's enemies The hatred that can be developed into love is in vain. She often avoids him with disgust and disgust. The director also shows the authenticity of the war. That is hatred, no matter how much the two love each other, hatred will eventually become a war of estrangement. It also changed each other's fate and the rest of their lives
Chapter 4 Cinema Action Frederick is still chasing after her, maybe it's because of fate that the two meet again in a tavern
He talked about his "heroic deeds" with Susannah. In fact, I don't think he was showing off that when he talked to Susannah, he didn't want the other party to know that he was actually very guilty and hesitated, but Susannah finally gave up or because of hatred and unwillingness. with each other. But Frederick didn't give up. He introduced Susanna to his superiors through the address of the theater where "National Glory" was released and wanted to approach her again, so he met her in the hotel just as she met Susanna, a German officer who tortured and murdered her parents. Frightened and reminiscent of the past. Susannah made up her mind to take this opportunity to assassinate him.
The Allied commanders also knew about this and launched a movie assassination operation. Quentin's specialty will be shown here, that is, people who have seen Kill Bill in horror will find that Quentin makes horror movies as his specialty. Inglourious bastards. In the tavern, the two sides questioned each other about the accent. The plot was terrifying and disturbing, but in the end, the tragic winning the lottery and the bloody and violent scenes were all displayed in front of the audience. Bringing the truest hatred of war to life. Quentin's violent aesthetic is one of the reasons why the film is so successful.
Officer Aldo appears again, and it can be seen that the plot is arranged in an orderly manner and each has its own foreshadowing, which is still very good. Back to the story, after a fierce battle between the two sides, the casualties on both sides were terrible. A German soldier on the German side who had just become a father The German spy actress Bridget on the Allied side was still alive. After Aldo negotiated with the German soldier Later, in this thriller scene, people could breathe a sigh of relief, but what people never expected was that the actress Bridget, who was the most admired by the German soldiers, shot him to death. A soldier must be a bastard. She not only made him lose his life, but also made a child feel pain and sorrow when it was difficult to see his biological father. All love will become fragile in the face of coldness, let alone sympathy, Bastard is a word that can no longer be normal in the face of war.
Finally came to the end, I think it is the best part, the Allies, Aldo and the actress all came to the cinema, Susannah was setting fire to the cinema for the screening, just as the plan was going on, the so-called bastard German Colonel Hans sabotaged it and killed Bridget. Aldo was also arrested by the SS. The fate of Susannah and Frederick also came to an end.
When she pulled the trigger, Susannah's hatred disappeared just like Frederick's fall. At that moment, she was looking at Frederick in the film, thinking that he is actually a hero, and he also has a longing for life, His persistent eyes and his disgust for war moved Susannah, but it was the difference of nationality that separated them from each other. Her eyes became wet, full of pity for him, and she imagined in her mind whether we would be able to live without war if there was no war. Together, in the future, how should I say it, is it a bastard or is it helpless? At the moment when Frederick shot, the music un amico sounded. This clip is also the climax of the whole film. Susannah in a red dress, blood spurted from her chest, the roses were finally gorgeous, but withered so much. Heartbroken, screaming hesitant when he heard her being shot down, did he still love her, guilty when she saw him lying on the ground, did she love him, until Derek died, Susannah Only then did I feel a trace of pity suppressed by hatred in the depths of my heart. "When you involuntarily feel pity for a person, that is the beginning of love." However, the chaos brought about by the war forced the two to separate.
In fact, if there was no war, the plot would not be so tragic. A German guy was playing in France. He happened to pass by a cinema and saw a slender beauty. He fell in love at first sight. He took her to a bar where no one else disturbed him. , talk about love, and eventually become a couple, with a lifetime, but in reality, the rose red dress and rose blood fill the whole picture, the violin is excited at the climax until the end, Quentin is interpreting his classic violence all the time Aesthetics, I want to say that the last sentence comes from the indefinite farewell in the future. Maybe this is the last time.
At the end of the story, Colonel Haas finally came to the front line of the US military after discussions with the US Congress, but Aldo still had this anger and injustice. He won't let him go away in vain, so everyone knows that he has a Nazi symbol engraved on his forehead, no matter where he goes, everyone knows he's a bastard, and the whole film ends here, the humorous and simple end .
Finally, let's talk about the director. Of course, the selection of shots is quite good. More importantly, he made the war very real. The dark humor in the film runs through the whole film. The ruthlessness of all emotions will disappear in the face of war, which is even more praised. The horror of the roar of guns and the timeless and classic violent aesthetics are mixed in front of the screen. The background music of the movie is also quite good, especially the scene where the two lovers kill each other, which is even more shocking, and the plot is more coherent and orderly and lays the groundwork for each other.
Finally, I want to say that war is cruel, everyone is a bastard, there are no winners and losers, only innocent lives are lost, and more people are separated from each other because of this. Inglourious Basterds is a good movie and worth seeing. Finally, a message for you all.
