The fun/vaudeville style of "Inglourious Basterds" largely comes from the author's design of the language. When comparing the scenes of the first act, the restaurant dialogue, the confrontation in the underground tavern, and the disguised intrusion into the theater, we will find one thing in common, which is that they all have the drama of disguising and revealing the disguise. This reminds me of a way of playing poker where you hide your identity to win—so how is this different from peek-a-boo in video games? One side focuses on camouflage, and the other side exposes camouflage; it’s just that in theatrical art, the revealing at the language level (words) replaces the revealing at the actual level to a certain extent; however, the latter cannot be ruled out. The first act of "Inglourious Basterds" It's the revelation that takes place in the actual sense-lift the floor, catch the "mouse"-what a metaphor-but the mouse escapes, and many years later, the mouse disguised as a squirrel comes to the cat again, and deceives the cat's sight, and finally killed the cat and succeeded in revenge. I can't think of a more succinct and powerful plot summary than this one, and I'm amazed at my ability to generalize for the first time in years.
So no matter how complicated the line design of "Inglourious Basterds" is, it can't escape a simple fact-in essence, they all belong to a cat-and-mouse game that takes place at the language level. This is a showdown between reconnaissance ability and camouflage ability. As one party's ability gradually wins, he will see through the other party's disguise or convince the other party to believe his disguise. However, a smart director (such as a famous foot fetish director) will not have a one-time duel. He will definitely choose a suitable interval, let the two sides of the duel start a tug-of-war (a bit like TDK in video games), and finally the duel When one of the sides is revealed to be defeated, they suddenly stage a shocking reversal to win, or quite the opposite. If the revealer wins and the revealer fails in disguise (sometimes one party has the identity of both), then the losing party must choose to face off or escape (such as the scene in the underground tavern), then the plot will change from "Talking" and "Hide and Seek" turns to the actual level of duels and chases. Everything is done to increase interest in theatrical art. After all, few people are willing to go to the theater to listen to long lectures (and empty photography tutorials), and more people still hope to have a relaxed and pleasant immersive experience. Even if individual passages show an extremely terrifying and dark side, it is to allow the audience to better immerse in it, and feel the greatest intensity of heart tremor and pleasure at the last moment of the arrival of light and justice.
