Luckiest without culture

First of all, this is Quentin's movie. No matter what tricks he plays, the brutality, absurdity, mockery and exaggeration, and death at the end are his tried-and-true tactics; secondly, vulgarity and shamelessness have always been the blood flowing in Quentin's bones. So casually destroying the meticulously carved fortress in front of you, without changing your face, without changing your heart, and shyly hiding on the side to peep at the shocked faces of the viewers, it's really cheap. . .

It's always an American who loses the chain at a critical moment, and the bad thing is the accent. And the Americans who hit the east with the hammer and the west with a stick have always had the most enviable good fortune. Talking about how the Americans stole the fruits of World War II victory, how to get what they did for nothing, and how to make a lot of money while winning as a glorious allied country, "Inglourious Basterds" shows us that a fool can pick up good luck.

If this film tries to emphasize anything, it is the importance of mastering multiple languages. Being able to communicate skillfully is the primary level. If you want to be a spy and break into the enemy's army, you need to continue your studies in the advanced direction, otherwise you will have to die in an inauthentic blasting sound, alas.

Americans were once again ridiculed for their lack of academic integrity. On the contrary, the diligent and studious German major could change from passive to active when he inherited the mantle of his ancestor, who was knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and easily found flaws. In addition, Climax's negotiation skills and psychological planning skills also make Lao Mei far behind. I always felt that the film was a tribute to the SS in defeat. . .

War is not only cruel, it is absurd in the first place. Anyone who takes the initiative in violence will be as mad as a devil, thus dispelling all their innocence as victims, just like the seal engraved on their forehead, it is not a shame, let alone venting anger, but a sign of the coronation of the winner.

Inglourious Basterds quotes

  • Col. Hans Landa: [to Aldo] So you're "Aldo the Apache".

    Lt. Aldo Raine: So you're "the Jew Hunter".

    Col. Hans Landa: A detective. A damn good dectective. Finding people is my specialty so naturally I work for the Nazis finding people, and yes some of them were Jews. But "Jew Hunter"?

    Col. Hans Landa: [reacts in disgust] It's just a name that stuck.

    Pfc. Smithson Utivich: Well, you do have to admit, it is catchy.

    Col. Hans Landa: Do you control the nicknames your enemies bestow on you? "Aldo the Apache" and "the Little Man"?

    Pfc. Smithson Utivich: [confused] What do you mean "the Little Man"?

    Col. Hans Landa: Germans' nickname for you.

    Pfc. Smithson Utivich: The Germans' nickname for me is "the Little Man"?

    Col. Hans Landa: And as if to make my point, I'm a little surprised how tall you were in real life. I mean, you're a little fellow, but not circus-midget little, as your reputation would suggest.

  • Lt. Aldo Raine: You know, where I'm from...

    Col. Hans Landa: Yeah, where is that, exactly?

    Lt. Aldo Raine: Maynardville, Tennessee.

    [pause]

    Lt. Aldo Raine: I've done my share of bootlegging. Up 'ere, if you engage in what the federal government calls 'illegal activity,' but what we call 'just a man tryin' to make a livin' for his family sellin' moonshine liquor,' it behooves oneself to keep his wits. Long story short, we hear a story too good to be true... it ain't.

    Col. Hans Landa: Sitting in your chair, I would probably say the same thing. And 999 point 999 times out of a million, you would be correct. But in the pages of history, every once in a while, fate reaches out and extends its hand.

    [Landa slowly sweeps his arms out in a grand shrug]

    Col. Hans Landa: What shall the history books read?
