"Inglourious Basterds"

This year's Berlin Film Festival recruited Uncle Wo as a judge, which must be inseparable from his strong acting strength and the Oscar halo behind him. At the end of the movie viewing, I can't forget Hans Landa played by Walz.
Hanslanda's ending is the same as Hitler's ending, it's a screen lust. In fact, Hitler's death was not so tragic. A man whom Heidegger hailed as "superior in action" could not have died under unhistoric conditions. If Hitler's ultimate fate suggests to us the unrecyclability (in other words, unforgivable) between national elites, then Hanslanda's ultimate fate reveals to us the "assimilation" of modernity as an individual, especially It is the assimilation of elites, which is difficult, but not completely blocked. All of Hanslanda's strategies have been successful, and everything is under control. Such a shrewd person, unless he is very sure, can't lay down his weapons on his enemy. He looks for the bastards and dare not touch him because he Imagine the discipline of iron, with other premodernities up and down, applicable in all countries. But he never imagined that the United States has truly become an unimaginable "wonderful" country controlled by nihilism, hedonism, and historicism. Therefore, Americans are also incalculable because they are blindly overwhelmed. No one could have predicted this step, so it was not Hanslanda's misstep, but his grief.
As an aside, Hanslanda wants to integrate into the United States because he sees that Germany will lose. Although Leo Strauss was persecuted and exiled to the United States, in the United States, Germans and Jews, although for different reasons, are equally regarded as the other. Schmidt's famous saying, the value of politics is to distinguish between enemy and friend. It is difficult to refute this statement, but the servants of liberalism, because of the value judgments already formed, are able to make many contrary opinions. This sentence is correct, I have to read Hannah Arendt.
Finally, let's talk about the relationship between the actor and the character.
It is not that art creates a one-sided image, but that the shallow understanding of the audience creates a new image in their minds that is contrary to the work of art itself. Therefore, the author has always attached great importance to the openness and generation in literary and artistic works. sex.
Sometimes, it is not the excellent and outstanding actors who interpret the vivid screen image, on the contrary, the rich and rich character setting provides the actors with a wide space to play. The Joker in "The Dark Knight" and Hans Landa in "Inglourious Basterds" were originally very malleable characters. Although Heath Ledger and Christopher Waltz performed them perfectly, if they were replaced by other excellent actors , not necessarily better, but not much worse. On the contrary, without the plasticity of the role, no matter how good the performance will be, it will be empty. In a word, it is easy for a good script to make a good actor; it is difficult for a good actor to save a bad script.

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!
