Im just pointing out that Basterds isnt going to be like Saving Private Ryan, Schindler’s List or The Thin Red Line in tone. Its more in the tradition of pulp war films. Theres gonna be humor and satirical aspects.

Never compare Thin Red Line to SPR OR Schindler’s List! Ever again!
^ I agree. The Thin Red Line is so underrated. I like your taste.
Do people who criticise Spielberg think they’re cool or groovy in some way?

Ahah. You’re so right. At least I get why people dislike Michael Bay (even if I don’t get why he’s that much hated), but Spielberg, no sorry, I don’t think it’s cool. The general question would be : do people who criticise mainstream stuff think they’re cool or groovy ? Cause they’re not. I kinda hate when hardcore QT geeks think they should only like underground, unknown stuff cause it’s better to be a grindhouse boy.

I liked Thin Red Line. And SPR and Schindlers arent bad movies. I just dont happen to like them that much. Spielberg is a great director. Even QT ackowledges that.
speilberg was the master at one stage but his movies since schindlers list (bar munich) have been terrible. Jaws is one of the best films ever made though.

Saving Private Ryan is a masterpiece. One of the best war-action movies ever.

OK, Mr Orange was crying and was in pain. And it had a climactic ending but the movie itself wasnt miserable. It has to have some emotional stuff in it of course. Im sure Shosanna’s story will provide alot of that. And Casualties of War is a great film, but its not the kind of war film QT would make. Its too dark and serious. It was based on a true incident. Hes not that type of director. He has a different aesthetic. Hes not dealing with real life, its a movie version of real life.[/quote]
Yeah, that’s all true. But I’m just saying while Pulp Fiction isn’t The Godfather, it also isn’t Analyze This. Not saying IB is going to be a flat out spoof of war movies, but you get the idea.
What I liked about Pulp Fiction was that it was sort of tongue-in-cheek or in-your-face or what you might called it (like Kill Bill), but it was also a bit serious, or as serious as a film like that could be. Sure, Uma Thurman drew a square out of thin air, but it was a really dark film. That scene in the pawnshop basement, you’d never see anything like that in Kill Bill.
What I’m saying is that Pulp Fiction is like a “dangerous” movie (sounds like something a magazine would call it, but whatever). If you watched it before you were 18, like me, it was like you had had been privileged to something forbidden.
I mean, I’m not saying Inglourious Basterds should be Pulp Fiction 2. I’m just using it as a reference point as to what type of Tarantino-tone I’d prefer it to be. I could have easily said “it should have a Taxi Driver-like tone”, but that’d be kind of redudant seeing as Taxi Driver is a Scorsese film, not a Tarantino film. If Kill Bill had been Tarantino’s debut film, and Pulp Fiction had never been made, we wouldn’t be having this discussion. It’s just that, because of Pulp Fiction, we know that Tarantino does tones that aren’t OTT well too, and if I’d have to choose, I’d choose that.
Hey, I liked Grindhouse, but I’m not a fan of exploitation movies, at least not on QT’s level. It was a nice experiment, but he’s been riding that type of movies too long now, at least for my taste. Sure, I admire him for doing what he wants, but I feel it is my right to state that my opinion is a different one than his.
Maybe I’m wrong and the trailer is a bit misleading. I’m just stating my opinions regarding the trailer.

Yes, of course. That’s why I dislike his stuff. I dislike his “take me seriously” phase but I like his “who gives a shit lets make fun, fast, money-making movies”. His other films lack real emotions and Saving Private Ryan is pornographic in its portrayal of war. Thin Red Line is a film that slowly crawls up inside you and leaves you emotionally exhausted. Same with other war films that are better than Spielberg’s attempts like Diamonds of the Night, The Red and the White, Come and See, Cross of Iron, and The Cranes are Flying.
I like films that are real, and if that makes me a pretentious wanna-be hipster than buy me a shirt with Panda on it and call me Javier.

Director in what sense? I think he’s a businessman who knows how to make lucrative product. He knows how to push things, the right buttons, he’s emotionally manipulative but it’s obvious.
In fact, when I read the IB script the first thing I thought was how brilliantly critical it is of jingoistic American war films that take great liberty to mold history to make America the Beautiful look like the top dogs. I thought it was both a tribute and criticism of those type of propagandic films.

I understand what youre saying but then again, its 2009. Tarantino has been absorbed into pop culture now. So we all know his overall style/aesthetic as a director. That danger we all felt was the reason why it was such a big phenomenon. But Pulp and Kill Bill are two different kinds of films. One is based in reality, the other is not. Id guess that Basterds will be closer in tone to Pulp Fiction than Kill Bill. KB was comic book type violence. The violence in Basterds will probably feel more consequential and emotional.

In what sense? As in creating films and making emotional, impactful, entertaining cinema. Whether or not its obvious to you is besides the point. I mean Im not a huge fan, but its a fact that Spielberg can direct and carry audiences like a mofo. You dont make stuff like Duel, Jaws, Poltergeist, Indy films, ET, Color Purple, Schindlers List, Minority Report, War of the Worlds without having the goods. Are we actually debating about whether or not Spielberg is a really good director now? Cmon. Lets not get silly. His stuff may be white bread, but its still well made.
QT is coming from a different place, thats all. Hes not going for sentimentality. Hes going for in your face, post-modern pulp war thriller that doesnt paint things in black and white. Every character has their good and bad sides. QTs thing from the beginning has been showing the humanity in outsiders, “criminals” and “villains”. QT will also def throw in his type of comedy that we love.
Out of Spielberg’s ouvre, Id say Basterds is closest to Raiders of the Lost Ark. It fits in with that tone. A pulp adventure set during WWII.
Hello everyone new guy here. I just wanted to ask if anyone knows when they will start showing trailers of Inglourious Basterds on TV? I haven’t seen anything yet. Any info on this?
Prob at the beginning of August would be my guess.
I finally got to see the trailer on the big screen when I went to watch Public Enemies. I had a massive grin on my face ;D It felt like a prelude to August. And how great is it that the first two trailers they show are from my top 2 filmmakers - QT and Scorsese!
