Inglourious Basterds is a 2009 black comedy war film, and the sixth film to be written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. It is told in five chapters: Chapter 1: Once Upon a Time in Nazi-occupied France Chapter 2: Inglourious Basterds Chapter 3: German Night in Paris Chapter 4: Operation Kino Chapter 5: Revenge of the Giant FaceSet in World War II, this film is about a group of Jewish-American commandos, their loose-cannon hillbilly leader, and numerous plots to assassinate Nazi leadership. The Jewish soldiers are known to the Germans as "the Basterds", a terrifying group who massacre as many Nazis as they can find, scalping each one but leaving a single man alive each time to spread the word of their deeds. Oh, but not without carving a swastika into his forehead with a Bowie knife.Meanwhile, a young German sniper finds himself the subject of Goebbels' latest propaganda film, Stolz der Nation, the premiere of which he decides to relocate to a small cinema owned by a woman he takes a liking to. Unbeknownst to him, this woman is a Jew whose family was massacred by the Nazis four years earlier, and she takes the opportunity of so many Nazi leaders coming to her cinema to take revenge. Upon finding out about the premiere, the Basterds and Winston Churchill himself also plot to destroy Hitler and his high command at the event, despite being pursued by the SS officer who slaughtered the cinema owner's family.This being Tarantino, an orgy of violence is inevitable, and duly happens.A large source of confusion derives from Tarantino letting the script (originally one for a miniseries) get out of hand. After a friend of Tarantino told him he's the only director who actually gets him to go to the theater, he scrapped most of the miniseries' plot and backstories, and what was left was a movie in which the titular Basterds were not quite focused on.On a sad note, the film is the final collaboration between Tarantino and editor Sally Menke, who edited all of his films until her death in 2010.Huge spoilers lie ahead.

Anyone Can Die: Up to and including HITLER. Oh, and only three characters out of an enormous ensemble make it out of the movie alive. Four, if you count Marcel. Although he's not shown leaving the cinema, he enters via the back door to set the fire, leaving it open and presumably exiting the same way. Also counts as an inversion of Black Dude Dies First.

Creator Cameo: Tarantino's head is the first one seen being actively scalped in the film, and his hands can be seen in Chapter 5 doubling for Christoph Waltz's in the closeup when he strangles Diane Kruger's character (see Insert Cameo). He also plays an American soldier in the Nation's Pride film.

Does This Remind You of Anything?: The scene where Nazi High Command desperately tries to escape a burning cinema, only to encounter locked doors and machine gun fire, is reminiscent of Jews dying in gas chambers, which is made especially good by the fact that the people who plotted their deaths were mostly Jews.

Cover Identity Anomaly
 Inglourious Basterds / int_151bc113
comment
Cover Identity Anomaly: With disastrous results. In the tavern scene, Lt. Hicox seems to avoid this until he orders three Scotches using his index, middle, and ring fingers, as opposed to his index, middle, and thumb, which is customary in Germany. This blows his cover and results in everyone in the bar except Hammersmark and a Heer grunt dying in a 15-second shootout.

I Am Very British: When Hicox is getting briefed for his mission, they all sound so English it hurts. Then you suddenly recognize Dr. Evil talking, and you realize that everyone in the room is a Fake Brit. Sort of Truth in Television —- there are still people in the UK who talk that way, they're just few and far between (see Stephen Fry for a famous example outside the royal family). 70 years ago, even more people talked like that, and whilst the common soldier would sound far more ordinary, the top brass would be more likely to be made up of the upper classes.

Never Trust a Trailer
 Inglourious Basterds / int_19ebe383
comment
Never Trust a Trailer: The trailers, with its machine-gun firin' and Nazi stabbin' and Tarantino-directin', promised two-and-a-half hours of violent Nazi-slaughtering that would make Wolfenstein look like Nazi Propaganda. The trailers don't give away the movie/theater secondary plot (which is never alluded to in the trailers) that takes up such a significant portion of the movie, and the actual film takes a far more suspense/drama-driven style. The Basterds themselves share the spotlight with an ensemble cast and have a smaller role than the trailers imply.

The Cameo: Mike Myers as General Ed Fenech, and Rod Taylor as Winston Churchill. German punk rocker Bela B. as an usher. Samuel L. Jackson as the narrator. Harvey Keitel as the American general on the radio. German comedian Volker "Zack" Michalowski as the German soldier in the tavern who got the role of Edgar Wallace in the game they are playing. Italian Director Enzo G Castellari — who directed the original The Inglorious Bastards — appears as a Nazi Obergruppenführer in the Premiere scene.

Censored Title
 Inglourious Basterds / int_1cdada2a
comment
Censored Title: The announcer in TV ads for the movie in the UK before Watershed would just call the movie Inglorious. Some of them, mysteriously, showed the full title onscreen; note, however, that whilst the spelling of "Basterds" doesn't match the spelling of the curse, the pronunciation does, which is probably why only a verbal censor was used pre-watershed (as failing to fully advertise the title would only serve to confuse). In the UK, the film is shown on Sky Movies, and is titled Inglourious B***s on Sky's Planner/TV Guide.

Noble Bird of Prey: During his conversation with LaPadite in Chapter 1, "Once Upon a Time in Nazi Occupied France," Landa names the devious and predatory hawk as the animal with the closest similarities to the German people. Admittedly, this puts the Nazis at a disadvantage since hawks are too "dignified" to hide, and thus ill-equipped to find "rats," i.e. Jews.

Italians Talk with Hands
 Inglourious Basterds / int_23a332fa
comment
Italians Talk with Hands: The three American soldiers who have to impersonate Italians (without speaking a word of it) at a Nazi party. Two of them thus punctuate every sentence with arm gestures - except Aldo, who, along with his hilariously ill-fitting accent, further fails in his attempt to pretend to be Italian by only ever doing a gesture once. The guy they're trying to fool isn't (primarily because of his own mastery of the language), but goes along with the act since it's so funny.

Sir Not-Appearing-in-This-Trailer: Neither Shoshanna nor Landa, the two most important characters, appeared much in the marketing. Most of the focus went to Brad Pitt/Aldo Raine. However, this probably isn't exclusively due to Pitt being the biggest name in the cast, but in part due to him being the most prominent exclusively English-speaking character. Shoshanna speaks French exclusively with the exception of one scene, and Landa only really speaks English in the opening scene and towards the end after the movie premiere goes to hell.

Anachronism Stew
 Inglourious Basterds / int_259d5879
comment
The infamous Wilhelm Scream is in a scene of Nation's Pride when a soldier is shot and falls into a fountain. Hitler reacts with laughter. This may seem like Anachronism Stew at first because the Wilhelm scream was first recorded to be used about a decade after the movie is supposed to have been set, in 1951. It's not unjustifiable, though, because the entire movie plays fast and loose with history, so the first movie to use this stock scream probably copied it from Nation's Pride in this version of history.

comment
Funny Background Event: Just watch Brad Pitt's face from the moment Landa approaches them in the cinema and he realizes their plan is a terrible idea. Any scene where Stiglitz is around Nazis or they're even mentioned in passing. His murder-face throughout the whole bar scene is downright hilarious, and the viewer can clearly see how much he wants to maim and kill everyone around him. To a lesser extent, Hicox's pained facial expressions when an SS officer joins their table are pretty priceless, too.

Bilingual Bonus
 Inglourious Basterds / int_294ed981
comment
Bilingual Bonus: Some scenes with foreign language are deliberately left without subtitles, in particular the one with Shosanna and Zoller in the cafe, where none of the German is subtitled. Since it's from Shosanna's point-of-view, and she doesn't speak German, it is somewhat justified. Landa's French is very good, and when he makes his excuse that he's "run out of French," he's actually quite articulate. This is a clue that he has another reason to switch to English. Mainland Europeans (or people who understand German very well) will quickly pick up on Hicox's accent and the wrong hand gesture he uses (which ultimately gives him away as a spy) before any of the characters do. Also rather hilariously inverted with the Film Within a Film Nation's Pride, in which dialogue spoken by American characters is in English and subtitled in German. In the subtitles, select words are untranslated because Tarantino apparently decided that their English meanings were sufficiently well-known to even monolingual English speakers, "merci" ("thank you") and "oui" ("yes") for instance. Landa calls all of his military assistants "Hermann", which means "army man." The Basterds' plan to kill the German high command at the movies is "Operation Kino". "Kino" is German for "cinema."

 Inglourious Basterds / int_2a090d00
comment
The German soldier who refuses to put German lives at risk, even though he technically isn't a hero (he's got medals for bravery though). Aldo Raine lampshades his heroic sacrifice for his country when calling in Donowitz to execute him.

Ax-Crazy: Hugo Stiglitz, who killed 13 Gestapo officers in various ways, and is visibly creepy. Lt. Aldo Raine also counts. In spite of his rank and all-American good looks, he is little more than a bloodthirsty sadist who really gets off on carving swastikas into the heads of German prisoners-of-war, regardless of whether or not they are Nazis. The rest of his team counts as well, from baseball-bat executions to scalping the dead.

Embarrassing Nickname: Landa uses this to get under Utivich's skin, telling him that he thinks it's unfair that Utivich has been nicknamed "The Little Man" by the Wehrmacht, when he's not really that little. Given that it's Landa doing the talking, it's not clear if he's serious or not.

Even Evil Has Standards: Landa seems to be completely shocked when Aldo kills his adjutant in cold blood even though his survival was part of Landa's deal with the Allied command. Arguably, Landa expected Aldo to put his ruthlessness (of which he is well aware) aside for the sake of honor, or at the very least of orders. He does not.

Kick the Dog: Fredrick Zoller is presented as a sympathetic character in spite of being a German soldier, until he finally has enough of Shosanna's rejections, and goes into an aggressive tirade about how she should be thankful for him. The scene where Aldo digs his finger into Bridget von Hammersmark's bullet wound to make sure she's telling the truth about the basement. In a film full of brutality, it's this scene that tends to make audiences wince the most, and it's done to a sympathetic noncombatant on his own side.

comment
Switch to English: Colonel Hans Landa starts speaking to LaPadite in French, and he suggests that they switch to English because it is better than his French. This is a lie, of course. His French is just as good as his English. The real reason is that the Jews that LaPadite is hiding do not speak English, and Landa doesn't want to alert them to his suspicions too soon. Hicox switches to English after it's clear that he's about to die. The rest of the Germans at the table follow suit.

Actor Allusion: Eli Roth was cast as the gruesome Bear Jew due to his association with gory horror films. His character in Tarantino's previous film, Death Proof, is named "Dov," which means "bear" in Hebrew. Aldo Raine's obsession with collecting Nazi scalps is actually a reference to Brad Pitt's own breakout role in Legends of the Fall.

Slower than a Speeding Bullet
 Inglourious Basterds / int_3ad8e6a
comment
Slower than a Speeding Bullet: Artistically subverted at the end of the opening scene. After the rest of her family is slaughtered, Shoshanna runs away from the house. Landa steps outside, takes out his gun and takes careful aim. By this time Shoshanna is already at fairly long range for a handgun, and is about to disappear over a nearby hill, but this is the point where most movies would add onto the bad guy's Villain Cred by having him shoot her. Instead Landa shrugs and decides not to shoot at the last moment, playfully/mockingly calling out an "Au revoir" (more or less saying "See you later") to Shoshanna. After the brave Sergeant Rachtman dies a brutal death in front of his two remaining men, one of them panics and tries to run, and is immediately shot in the back, showing that he is not faster than a bullet.

The Greatest Story Never Told
 Inglourious Basterds / int_3e95582f
comment
The Greatest Story Never Told: The events of the movie will likely go down in history as the work of a German double agent. Shoshana, who plays just as big a role in destroying the Nazi high command, will likely be forgotten, since neither the Basterds nor Landa know about her involvement. Even if Marcel makes it out alive and tells Shoshana's story, it will likely be sidelined by the OSS official account.

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome
 Inglourious Basterds / int_3ed23024
comment
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: American and British agents attempting to pass themselves off as native speakers of other languages get caught for their less-than-perfect accents, something that rarely happens in spy and trapped-behind-enemy-lines stories. Aldo's limited and terrible Italian is so noticeable that one doesn't even have to speak the language to know that it's wrong, and in the case of Hicox, even though he speaks fluent German, he doesn't have a native accent, and this is noticed as soon as he opened his mouth. While he briefly manages to salvage the situation with a semi-plausible cover story, he soon gives himself away by making a small cultural mistake, showing exactly how difficult it can be to infiltrate an entirely foreign culture and how much truly goes into trying to pass for a native. Aldo comes up with a half-baked idea for Bridget to try to pass off her leg injury from the shootout as a result of mountain climbing, based on nothing more than a stereotype about Germans. While the idea of a glamorous socialite like Bridget trying her hand at mountain climbing is already highly implausible, there are no mountains around Paris close enough that she could have climbed, been injured, gotten treatment, and then shown up at the premiere with a cast as fresh as the one she's wearing, so this excuse falls apart instantly with Landa (who already had cause to be suspicious of her), and wouldn't work on anyone at all familiar with the geography around Paris. Even though Marcel is a talented man, Shosanna is told that she is to man the reels during the premiere, since Goebbels refuses to let his premiere's success rest in the hands of a black man. At the end of the film, Landa is completely at the mercy of a Jewish group of vicious and famed Nazi-hunting war criminals. They never planned to keep their word to a Nazi Jew-hunter.

Morton's Fork: Aldo's question to captured German soldiers about whether they're going to take off their uniforms after the war is over. Saying no would mean that they're unrepentant Nazis, which would obviously offend the Nazi-hunting Aldo. Saying yes, however, also earns his ire, as he hates the idea of Nazis blending back into society. Hans Landa, who has personally interrogated every survivor of the Basterds and thus knows about Raine's question full well, tries to Take a Third Option by refusing to respond, but it doesn't help him any.

Blatant Lies: In the opening scene, Hans Landa speaks impeccable, erudite, and near-native level French with Monsieur LaPadite, only to very politely and eloquently inform him at one point that he's 'exhausted' his 'limited' abilities in French, and that the two should go on speaking English. Even if that should have tipped off the Dreyfus family hiding under the floorboards, from their point of view staying put was likely still far more prudent.

And Landa will get away with everything he has done with almost no consequences (aside from getting a swastika painfully carved in his forehead.)

Not Even Bothering with the Accent: An intentional example, as Raine and Donny speak Italian with a comically thick American accent, betraying their status as American spies. Omar, on the other hand, the one who didn't know a word of Italian until the night before, does a decent job, enough to actually get congratulated by Landa.

comment
Gory Discretion Shot: The introduction of the forehead swastika is possibly the sole example in a movie filled with dead soldiers getting scalped and bodies being shredded with gunfire all within full view of the camera. Then again, that was probably just an artistic choice to hide what was actually being done until it could be revealed dramatically. A Nazi officer has a swastika carved on his head at the end of the movie, and it is shown in gruesome detail.

Leaning on the Fourth Wall: The very last scene, after Aldo carves the swastika into Landa's forehead, he comments to Utivich that "this might just be [his] masterpiece". This could be interpreted as him, or more likely Tarantino himself, referring to the movie itself.

Mirroring Factions
 Inglourious Basterds / int_4f6cf75
comment
Mirroring Factions: Though Raine says that "the Nazis ain't got no humanity," and Nazis are shown to be pretty evil, it's also clear that this film does seek to humanize German soldiers. Frederick Zoller dislikes watching a movie of himself killing. Private Butz is just a scared boy who wants to survive the war and hug his mother. Sgt. Wilhelm is shown celebrating the birth of his son, and is killed (perhaps unnecessarily) on the same night. Sgt. Rachtman is shown to be a brave soldier, willing to sacrifice his life for his comrades in arms.

Smug Snake
 Inglourious Basterds / int_4f84cdef
comment
Smug Snake: Maj. Dieter Hellstrom, with his detective skills and cocky, smug attitude, clearly thinks he's some sort of Col. Hans Landa. That's the kind of thinking that will make you say "auf Wiedersehen" to your Nazi balls by a bullet at point-blank range. Bridget von Hammersmark is a rare heroic example who sneers at the unfortunate and fatal mistakes made by Hicox, but who then doesn't think to take back her shoe or the autograph she gave Wilhelm. It gets her killed. She was dead either way. The horrible accents would have given the Basterds away to Landa anyway, or at least given Landa enough of a reason to check her leg to see if it had really been broken in a mountain-climbing accident — and even if the rendezvous had gone as planned, he would almost certainly have recognized Stiglitz from the papers or picked up on Hicox's bizarre accent himself.

Attack the Injury
 Inglourious Basterds / int_5102055b
comment
Attack the Injury: A variant used for interrogation rather than in combat. After the bar shootout which kills many of the Basterds, as well as Hicox and Stiglitz, and wounds their German Mole Bridget von Hammersmark, Aldo finds it just a little too convenient that von Hammersmark was the Sole Survivor of the bloodbath. This is reinforced by the fact that she specifically recommended that she meet the group at that particular bar, assuring them it would be free of Germans, only for it to have actually been crawling with German soldiers. So Aldo decides to interrogate her and make sure that she isn't a Nazi spy playing them for fools. He employs some Jack Bauer Interrogation Technique by sticking a finger into the bullet wound she just received and yanking on it, causing her tremendous pain.

Disobeyed Orders, Not Punished: Lt. Aldo Raine anticipates this will be the response to him killing and scalping Col. Landa's driver. In fairness, he IS following orders in spirit, if not to the letter: he's still going to deliver Landa alive as he was told... he's just giving him a little something he can't take off.

Later, he is referred to by the Nazis as "Aldo the Apache." While Jim Bridger did have three Native American wives, none of them were of the Apache tribe (one was a Flathead, two were Shoshone).

The Villain Must Be Punished
 Inglourious Basterds / int_605eab47
comment
The Villain Must Be Punished: At the end of the film, the Axis is doomed to be defeated swiftly by the Allies thanks to the Nazi Hans Landa selling out the top leadership in exchange for his own pardon. However, Lt. Aldo Raines is unwilling to let Landa go on with his life scot-free after everything he's done, so he breaks the rules and carves a swastika onto Landa's face, scarring him with the mark of a Nazi for life. In a meta-sense, the film itself can be considered this trope, as it imagines an alternate history for World War II where Adolf Hitler was killed in revenge by Jews instead of committing suicide before any of the Allies could reach him.

Heroic Sacrifice: A number of examples: Shosanna dies while attempting to kill the entire German high command. Donny and Omar in the theater die in a suicide mission to kill the entire German high command and end the war. The German soldier who refuses to put German lives at risk, even though he technically isn't a hero (he's got medals for bravery though). Aldo Raine lampshades his heroic sacrifice for his country when calling in Donowitz to execute him.

But for Me, It Was Tuesday: It's unclear whether Landa recognizes or suspects who Shosanna is when they meet at the restaurant. His politely pushy demeanor to her and his order of milk might be deliberate callbacks to their prior meeting, or he could have no idea who she is and simply be behaving normally. She, on the other hand, remembers exactly who he is.

No, Mr. Bond, I Expect You to Dine: Normally this requires the protagonist get captured, but when Landa invites himself into LaPadite's dairy farm to share a glass of delicious milk, a smoke, and a chat about missing Jews, the power that the Fuhrer gives him in occupied France makes the home a prison. Played fairly straight in Shosanna's meeting with Landa in Chapter 3, though it's not certain if Landa fails to recognize Shosanna or if he just decides to let her go so he can mess with her head.

Heroic Comedic Sociopath: The Basterds are on a mission that requires them to perform atrocities, and they seem to take great pleasure in it, from scalping the dead to mutilating prisoners to beating the rest to death with a bat. However, because they're fighting Nazi soldiers, they occupy the "hero" slot by default. On the other hand, Fredrick Zoller is presented as one by Nazi propaganda, but his actual reaction to the footage shows that he is not proud of having killed so many.

Artistic License – Military
 Inglourious Basterds / int_6eb4e408
comment
Artistic License – Military: A secret Allied operation to bomb a cinema would not be named "Operation Kino", because operation names were not supposed to suggest the character of the operation. "Kino" is German for "cinema," so Germans wouldn't even need to translate it to get a clue as to its nature. Some viewers who are accustomed to military etiquette consider the whole pub scene to be an example of this, because there's no way an officer like Hicox would consider it a good idea to act so disrespectfully to a major who is very clearly asking him to identify himself during wartime (he does not even stand up when he is formally addressed, and repeatedly dodges questions even after the major has assumed a more relaxed posture). Hellstrom is shown to have the SS lightning bolts on his right uniform collar, despite being a Gestapo officer. All uniformed Gestapo personnel below the rank of colonel actually had blank black right collar patches. Zoller is stated to have used a church steeple as a sniping platform, a la Saving Private Ryan. Nazi Germany, and all sides for that matter, would shell church steeples and other tall buildings to deny their use for snipers and observers by the other side, and discouraged snipers from setting up in such locations because it's an easy target and there is no way to retreat. In the clips of Stolz der Nation shown in the film, an American officer laments not being able to shell it, when Allied forces would readily do so, most (in)famously at Monte Cassino.

Repeat Cut: At least one example occurs that is the result of stylistic shoutouts to the Spaghetti Western genre.

When the camera shows them approaching the farm in the distance, they are shown passing the same tree next to the road three times.

This actually has basis in real life, where Allied defenders of Singapore didn't bombard the Johor Sultan's palace, which was being used as an artillery-observation post, because they didn't want to peeve the local authorities.

Swiss-Cheese Security: The security around the theater in the climax is remarkably light, considering that the entire German high command is there. Shosanna carries around a pistol, and she and Marcel have free reign of the theater. Omar and Donny are able to skulk around the corridor only 30 feet from Hitler and Goebbels, defended by only two guards who are apparently just staring at the wall across from them instead of watching the corridor entrances. How much of this is due to Landa's interference is ambiguous.

Les Collaborateurs: The French girlfriend of an SS officer tells Shosanna that she should feel lucky to have bagged Frederick Zoller. Goebbels has a French translator who is also his mistress. She apparently does have affection for him, judging by the emotion she shows when Hitler congratulates him. Obliquely referenced by Shosanna when she tells Frederick to find a French girlfriend in Vichy, the headquarters of the French collaborationist government at the time.

For Want Of A Nail: The existence of Colonel Hans Landa and the Basterds results in Hitler getting machine-gunned to death and the war in Europe ending a year early. This also seems to imply that Inglourious Basterds is the start of the hidden Shared Universe that Tarantino's films have mostly taken place in. Hitler's assassination in a movie theater inspires Americans to become (even more) obsessed with pop culture and partake in long-winded discussions about it.

Orbital Shot: The camera orbits around Landa, Bridget, Aldo, and the rest of the gang in the scene in the theater lobby. It circles while Landa grills them in his remorseless way, getting the fake "Italians" to reveal their ridiculous accents and getting Bridget increasingly flustered. The camera continues to circle until Bridget claims she hurt her leg mountain climbing; it then follows Landa as he takes a few steps away to cackle loudly with amusement at her ridiculous lie.

Small Role, Big Impact: Wilhelm is in the film for about five minutes, but the fact that his wife had a baby is why his entire unit is in the pub where von Hammersmark is supposed to be rendezvousing with the Basterds. Their presence there is the catalyst for Hicox blowing his cover and the ensuing chaotic shootout. This causes the Basterds to lose their native German speakers, who were supposed to go with her to the premiere. Bridget also gets shot in the leg and has to create a cover story about a mountain climbing accident. This all causes Operation Kino to not go as smoothly as anticipated.

Rewarded as a Traitor Deserves: At the end of the film, Aldo Raine honors part of his word by sparing Hans Landa's life for betraying the Nazis, but kills Landa's assistant and carves a swastika in Landa's forehead. However, in this case it's not the treachery that arouses Raine's disgust, it's ever being a Nazi in the first place. This also seems to be Landa's attitude when he kills Bridget with his own hands.

What Happened to the Mouse?: There are nine original Basterds total. Wicki dies in the bar, Aldo and Utivich survive, a minor Basterd is seen in the background at the animal clinic, and Donny and Omar die in the theater. This means there are four Basterds unaccounted for by the end of the film. The one in the background at the animal clinic, Kagan, also mysteriously vanishes between that scene and the final scene in the cinema According to Word of God, any Basterds not seen in the bar or subsequent scenes are dead.

comment
Deconstruction: Some people see this movie as a deconstruction of the traditional Hollywood historical epic, particularly those about World War II. Such movies often play faster and looser with history than the average viewer realizes, and can be unintentionally insulting in their reductiveness. By intentionally writing an alternate history, and going for fun action over a serious statement, Tarantino disputes whether such movies really work as actual history lessons, or at the very least, mocks how seriously these movies take themselves. Or, if you take it as straight-forward, the film is formatted In the Style of a World War II propaganda movie made in 1944-45, just as the Normandy landings were happening. In this, Inglourious Basterds is no different than Mrs. Miniver, Casablanca, Desperate Journey, or other war films made while the war was still raging, meaning the real ending of Hitler committing suicide in his bunker hadn't happened yet. So, Basterds could depict its version of the war however it liked.

There Is No Kill Like Overkill: In the climax, a crowd of people is locked in a cinema that is burning down on top of them while getting shot apart by two men with submachine guns until the whole damn building just blows up. During the same scene, Donowitz continues to pump bullets into the already very dead Hitler's face and head region; this was allegedly Eli Roth's idea — he told Tarantino that if he were in his character's place, he'd want to make absolutely sure the son of a bitch was dead. It also makes sense historically, since Hitler had already survived a number of assassination attempts.

Faux Affably Evil: Landa is a very genial and affable man, though how much of it is an act is a bit nebulous. He uses his charm to good effect when interacting with suspected spies. Anyone without something to hide would certainly be charmed by him, while spies and plotters quickly start sweating bullets under his attention. The moment when he drops his friendly persona to savagely strangle Von Hammersmark to death suggests that it's just an act.

Bathos: The first scene is quiet and brimming with deadly tension. In the middle of it, Landa smokes from a very large and flashy (silly, even) pipe. Arguably done in the restaurant scene where Landa is talking to Shosanna about her cinema. The scene spends ample time watching Landa order dessert and coffee, sweeten his coffee, and eat his dessert while interrogating the young Jewish lady, and all the while the audience shares Shosanna's palpable terror that any second, Landa will miraculously discern her true heritage.

As You Know: Before recording Shosanna's revenge monologue, Marcel tells her, "Remember, in English!" The only reason for Shosanna to speak English would be a callback to Landa's use of the language in killing her family, so this detail would have had to have been her idea. The only purpose of this line is to let the audience know that her use of English in the finale is not Translation Convention.

At the end of Stolz der Nation Shoshanna also switches to English over German/French, to tell the Nazi viewers they're going to burn to death by the hands of a Jewish woman, and a black African-French man. Although she doesn't know, the British separately planned "Operation Kino" too, but either way, the Allies, with the lead of the UK and the US, would win after the death of the Nazis.

Villains Out Shopping: The Nazis. They are shown having fun in a bar, attending a movie premiere, not to mention Hitler asks his SS guards for chewing gum. Lampshaded by Hicox, who dryly refers to the movie premiere as "the Master Race at play."

Foreshadowing
 Inglourious Basterds / int_9d12bbc1
comment
Foreshadowing: Hitler expresses fear of the "Bear Jew" and the idea that he's a golem summoned by the Jews. At the end of the movie, the Bear Jew mows Hitler down with gunfire and continues to blast his head to a fine jelly. There's quite a bit of evidence that Landa isn't entirely in line with Nazi ideology, foreshadowing his betrayal of them. In the opening scene, he speaks negatively of Reinhard Heydrich, saying that he deserves his nickname "the Hangman." He also admits that he doesn't completely agree with Hitler's propaganda about the Jews. He even spares the Jewish Shosanna. In his later scene with Shosanna, he admits that black people might be very good at a profession (if condescendingly) and sidelines Marcel only to appease Nazi high command. Aldo complains of their meeting spot being in a basement, since it's very difficult to fight there. It soon turns out that he's right, with a gunfight there getting nearly everyone soon killed. A very brief Reaction Shot of Hellstrom's expression as Hicox orders three drinks foreshadows the fact that he's deduced Hicox's true identity.

Suicide Mission: Implied for both plots: Shosanna never discusses any plan to escape the theater after lighting it on fire. Her tearful goodbye to Marcel, and the fact that he bars the doors without hesitation, imply that this was the plan from the beginning. Omar and Donny have have bombs strapped to their ankles and never remove them. They make no attempt to escape as the theater is burning down, implying that they were there to die fighting.

Oh, Crap!: The looks on Raine and von Hammersmark's faces after they realize Landa speaks very fluent Italian (the Basterds' cover was that they were Italian, as most Germans wouldn't know enough Italian to converse with them). Then as Landa basically spends the next few minutes essentially mocking them about their poor Italian, Raine and Von Hammersmark clearly know things are about to go downhill. von Hammersmark when she reaches into Landa's coat pocket and finds one of the shoes she lost at the tavern shootout. Landa's face when Raine asks him if he plans to take off his uniform. Priceless. Since Landa had interviewed all of the Basterds' "survivors," he knows what happened to Pvt. Butz after he said he intended to take off his uniform... The looks on the Basterds and Hicox's faces when they see the Germans in the bar.

Aldo comes up with a half-baked idea for Bridget to try to pass off her leg injury from the shootout as a result of mountain climbing, based on nothing more than a stereotype about Germans. While the idea of a glamorous socialite like Bridget trying her hand at mountain climbing is already highly implausible, there are no mountains around Paris close enough that she could have climbed, been injured, gotten treatment, and then shown up at the premiere with a cast as fresh as the one she's wearing, so this excuse falls apart instantly with Landa (who already had cause to be suspicious of her), and wouldn't work on anyone at all familiar with the geography around Paris.

Too Dumb to Live
 Inglourious Basterds / int_b58b4e3c
comment
Too Dumb to Live: Hellstrom acts a lot like Landa... but he lacks Landa's sense of self-preservation. One has to imagine that if Landa had been in Hellstrom's place at the bar, once he confirmed that that Hicox and the Basterds were not who they claimed to be, he would mostly like have politely excused himself and alerted someone else to do the grunt work of arresting everyone there (or otherwise covertly signaled for help, either from the soldiers or collaborating bartender), much as he does at the theater with Aldo and company. For some reason, Hellstrom decides to openly announce his intention to try to take down the multiple suspicious characters, and to do so by himself, without having any backup ready to immediately step in. (There are the drunken, oblivious soldiers at the other table, but by the time they get involved Hellstrom would have surely been shot, stabbed, or taken hostage by the enemy.) That kind of behavior gets you killed. Von Hammersmark doesn't Know When to Fold 'Em or do nearly as much to cover her tracks as a spy should. She knows pretty much from the start that Raine's proposed alteration to Operation Kino is doomed, but the fact that Hitler himself will be attending makes her decide to push on regardless, despite the operation now facing impossible odds. It also never occurs to her that someone from the Basterds should return to the bar and make sure there are no clues or traces left behind that could point suspicion at them. This all leads directly to her death.

Hypocritical Humor: Landa, when asking LaPadite if they can Switch to English, says in French, "I regret to inform you that I've exhausted the extent of my French. To continue to speak it so inadequately would only serve to embarrass me," a complex sentence that requires an extensive vocabulary, knowledge of French syntax, and multiple verb tenses. He obviously speaks better French than most actual Frenchmen, but he just didn't want the people in the basement to understand what he was saying.

Cacophony Cover Up: One happens accidentally when Shosanna shoots Zoller in the projection booth. Her gun goes off at the same time a shoot-out occurs in the movie that is playing, which conceals the sounds of the gunshots.

Entitled to Have You
 Inglourious Basterds / int_ba907fe2
comment
Entitled to Have You: Zoller when he finally gets fed up with Shosanna's rebuffs. He's gotten used to being treated like royalty for his heroic actions in the war, and he becomes violent after one too many snubs from her. It's especially jarring because before this, he's been portrayed as a pretty nice guy and rather humble about his "heroism," although his absolute refusal to take "no" for an answer or show any respect for Shosanna's feelings makes him come off as a menacing Stalker with a Crush.

Kink Meme: This one gets a special mention because Eli Roth found it. Then promptly linked to it on his Twitter. Then forwarded it to Quentin Tarantino. Amusingly, their reaction amounted to 'wtf, the Bear Jew always tops'. Omar Doom probably reached for the Brain Bleach though. And Christoph Waltz's reaction must be seen to be believed.◊

Desecrating the Dead: Sergeant Donowitz has the pleasure of killing Adolf Hitler. The theater is burning, the exits are blocked, and bombs are set to detonate. But that's not enough for "the Bear Jew", who repeatedly changes magazines to continue pumping bullets into Hitler's body.

Subverted Trope

comment
Artistically subverted at the end of the opening scene. After the rest of her family is slaughtered, Shoshanna runs away from the house. Landa steps outside, takes out his gun and takes careful aim. By this time Shoshanna is already at fairly long range for a handgun, and is about to disappear over a nearby hill, but this is the point where most movies would add onto the bad guy's Villain Cred by having him shoot her. Instead Landa shrugs and decides not to shoot at the last moment, playfully/mockingly calling out an "Au revoir" (more or less saying "See you later") to Shoshanna.

Irony: Omar is the only Basterd of the three fake Italians who doesn't speak any Italian, but he's the one with the best accent when he pronounces his fake name. Landa even congratulates him. Shosanna is Jewish, but has blue eyes and blonde hair, so the looks like the Aryan ideal the Nazis lionize. They murdered her entire family for being Jews, and she's forced into hiding after escaping them.

Informed Judaism: The Basterds themselves don't appear show any signs of being Jews aside from getting identified as Jewish. It also applies with Shosanna, but that's very justified as for most of the film she had to hide herself from the Nazis. This has been criticized by some reviewers, compared to other films like Munich.

Shout-Out
 Inglourious Basterds / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: This being a Tarantino film, there are many: Brad Pitt's character Aldo Raine is likely a reference to film actor Aldo Ray, known for playing tough guys in war movies in the 1960s (mostly notably John Wayne's The Green Berets). Hugo Stiglitz shares a name with a Mexican exploitation actor. Tarantino is a well known fan of B-movies. The actor Hugo Stiglitz was famous because of Tintorera and other action/adventure movies. There is a reason his name is actually presented with a visual fanfare (camera settles on him, the image freezes, and his name is superimposed on screen) akin to Video Credits. Eli Roth's character takes the pseudonym of Antonio Margheriti, the name of a noted Italian B-movie director. This is particularly appropriate given that Roth's movies, Hostel and especially Hostel Part II, are homages to the Italian Giallo genre. There are several references to Fight Club: Brad Pitt's character makes a comment about how he doesn't like to fight in basements, a character is manhandled while wearing a white-jacketed suit and a black bag over their head, a projectionist sneaks in a hidden message, a random bit of sex is spliced incongruously into a scene, and there's an upward-angle shot of Pitt menacing another character with a knife. The film that the Nazis screen at Shoshanna's theater as a test-run for Nation's Pride is the 1936 comedy Glückskinder. Additionally, a song from that film can be heard playing during the bar scene. The first scene, where Landa arrives at LaPadite's home to interrogate him, is eerily reminiscent of Angel Eyes's visit to Stevens in The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. When the Basterds bust Stiglitz out of the clink, the music playing is Ennio Morricone's "Algiers November 1, 1954", from The Battle of Algiers (AKA the most badass commando music ever. You have to see the original scene.) Show Within a Show Nation's Pride includes at least two shout-outs to Battleship Potemkin. The film (Basterds, not Nation) features at least two songs from Kill Bill. Those are more likely shout-outs to the Spaghetti Westerns they were originally taken from. The conversation in which a character tries to pretend he was born in a mountain village, and citing a popular skiing resort as proof, strongly resembles a scene in Marathon Man. In that film, however, the Nazi/Allied roles are reversed in the conversation. The music playing while Marcel is heading behind the cinema screen (and while Zoller is on his way to see Shosanna in the projection booth) is lifted directly from the Kelly's Heroes soundtrack. Donny blasting the hell out of Hitler's corpse with a furious grimace on his face is straight out of Come and See. In the tavern, Landa is pointing out that Wicki and Stiglitz have been known to don German uniforms to ambush squads. This includes a cut where they are standing on a dirt road, stopping a truck. When the soldier speaks, Stiglitz, Wicki, and Omar let loose their submachine guns, killing the soldiers in the truck in a Bonnie and Clyde style attack. In Hans Landa's first scene, he makes accurate deductions while holding a large calabash pipe, made famous by the detective Sherlock Holmes. The screenplay makes this homage explicit. The pounding musical cue that plays when Shosanna encounters Landa in the restaurant is from the 1982 film The Entity, in which a woman is repeatedly raped by a demonic presence. Since Landa's sudden, traumatic reappearance in her life could be compared to a haunting, the connection is most likely deliberate. Among the celebrity names written on the cards in the tavern scene are the now largely-forgotten American film actress Pola Negri and German actress Brigitte Helm. Negri's inclusion is especially appropriate since all her movies were lost in a vault fire because they were printed on nitrate film, the flammability of which becomes a crucial plot point. According to Broken Lizard, Hellstrom's glass boot beer mug is a reference to Beerfest, which Tarantino even screened for the crew. Zoller says that people call him "the German Sergeant York." Quite a number of cinema luminaries of the period are name-dropped: Leni Riefenstahl (and her film The White Hell of Piz Palu), Max Linder, Charlie Chaplin (and his film The Kid (1921)), Louis B. Mayer, David O. Selznik, Van Johnson, and G.W. Pabst.

Red Herring: The motives for Hans Landa's arrival at the LaPadite farm are initially ambiguous. When he walks into the house, he remarks that he'd heard about the beauty of Pierre's daughters and states that the rumors were true while lasciviously kissing the hand of Charlotte. She stands awkwardly beside him for a while, exchanging several nervous looks with her father. When Landa asks to speak to Pierre alone, it seems as though he's about to discuss some romantic intentions toward Charlotte, but his business has nothing to do with her.

Stock Scream
 Inglourious Basterds / int_de0df7a0
comment
Stock Scream: The infamous Wilhelm Scream is in a scene of Nation's Pride when a soldier is shot and falls into a fountain. Hitler reacts with laughter. This may seem like Anachronism Stew at first because the Wilhelm scream was first recorded to be used about a decade after the movie is supposed to have been set, in 1951. It's not unjustifiable, though, because the entire movie plays fast and loose with history, so the first movie to use this stock scream probably copied it from Nation's Pride in this version of history. When the theater explodes, it sounds like they're using it again: actually, that time, it's Kurt Russell screaming at the end of Death Proof.

Historical In-Joke: Goebbels freaks out at the mention of Lilian Harvey's name. It makes sense if you know that she had an acrimonious relationship with the Nazi party and allegedly helped some Jewish filmmakers escape Germany. Even then, it still works as a Noodle Incident.

Translation Convention
 Inglourious Basterds / int_e11b003d
comment
Translation Convention: Notably averted, unlike most more "serious" World War II movies. The Germans speak (subtitled) German, the French speak (subtitled) French, and the Americans and British speak English. In cross-cultural conversations, in one case it is outright stated that they will use English as a median language to accommodate both parties' unease with the other's language, in two cases interpreters are used, and in most other cases the German party yields to their counterpart's language, being that in most cases whomever they're talking to doesn't speak a word of German. Certain instances are pushing it, however, although not to a degree which breaks the suspension of disbelief.

comment
Von Hammersmark doesn't Know When to Fold 'Em or do nearly as much to cover her tracks as a spy should. She knows pretty much from the start that Raine's proposed alteration to Operation Kino is doomed, but the fact that Hitler himself will be attending makes her decide to push on regardless, despite the operation now facing impossible odds. It also never occurs to her that someone from the Basterds should return to the bar and make sure there are no clues or traces left behind that could point suspicion at them. This all leads directly to her death.

 Inglourious Basterds / int_e60aad64
comment
Spare a Messenger: The Basterds usually leave a survivor when they slaughter a German patrol, as they want to spread fear through the ranks — but not before carving a swastika into their foreheads, so even if they don't tell the story, other people will know it. That's how the story goes, anyhow. The Basterds actually spare the first Nazi willing to betray their side by telling the Basterds what they want to know. Obviously, this cowardice would be punishable by execution if the Nazi's superiors knew about it, to discourage other cowardly Nazis from doing it in the future. Hence, the official reason they're spared is to spread the word, and the Nazis' superiors are content to order them not to tell anyone.

Ominous Walk: Donny does this as he walks out of the tunnel, complete with slamming his bat against the walls, to beat Sgt. Rachtman to death for refusing to give up information on the nearby patrol.

comment
Or, if you take it as straight-forward, the film is formatted In the Style of a World War II propaganda movie made in 1944-45, just as the Normandy landings were happening. In this, Inglourious Basterds is no different than Mrs. Miniver, Casablanca, Desperate Journey, or other war films made while the war was still raging, meaning the real ending of Hitler committing suicide in his bunker hadn't happened yet. So, Basterds could depict its version of the war however it liked.

Decapitation Strike: "Operation Kino," a joint SOE/OSS plan where almost the entire Nazi high command — including Goebbels, Goering, Bormann, and even Adolf Hitler himself — is to be blown up while attending the premiere of a major propaganda movie in Paris. Surprisingly, it goes off almost without a hitch thanks to a major defection.

One-Steve Limit: Averted. There are two guys in this film who are named Wilhelm; one is a Basterd (Wicki), and the other is a German, which can get a little confusing. Also, if you speak German, you'll notice that Landa addresses all his underlings as "Hermann", which is kinda funny. It shows he doesn't care about them at all (his final "I made a deal with your general for that man's life!" is even more hollow). This is particularly funny in the scene where he introduces the last Hermann. He even pauses for a moment to remember his name, and then just decides to go with Hermann.

Yep, they're suicide bombers.

Shown Their Work: The flammability of old nitrate film reels, which becomes a major plot point. Also, the differentiation of German and British hand gestures. And the explanation afterward from von Hammersmark. When General Fenech and Winston Churchill are testing Lt. Hicox's knowledge of cinema, all of them drop a lot of period cinema knowledge. The spy-busting techniques are very accurate. Hicox being suspicious due to his accent and then giving himself away by using the British gesture for three would've been pretty far-fetched in any other movie. But other spies are trained to look very carefully for such minor details which are so ingrained into our cultural brains. German spies had it even tougher since they had to learn proper accents, dialects, phrases, and mannerisms for Americans, British, Irish, Australian, Canadians, and other English-speakers. It was very easy for a German spy to say "lift" instead of "elevator" around a group of Americans. Or "loo" instead of "washroom" around a bunch of Canadians.

Third Act Stupidity: Hans Landa is made out to be a smart mind, but in the final chapter he decides to trust his opponents' words and delivers himself to them without a backup plan. Of course, he possibly had no idea who he was dealing with. His deal with the Allies was legitimate, and any normal soldier probably would have delivered him and the other Nazi soldier to the Allies as he had planned. Unfortunately for him, Aldo isn't any normal soldier.
