So in this video I am going to analyse the entire film because some the best moments in Inglourious Basterds happen outside of the famous opening scene. This video essay incorporates Quentin Tarantino interviews to explore his writing and film-making style, and looks at how Tarantino developed as a film-maker since Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction, and shows why I consider Inglourious Basterds to be his masterpiece. The video essay is broken into five chapters, like Inglourious Basterds itself. It compares the opening scene to The Good, The Bad and The Ugly and Tarantino’s Sergio Leone influence, then explores the ‘Jewish Revenge’ interpretation of the Basterds characters, as shown in the ‘Bear Jew’ scene. Chapter three breaks down why Hans Landa (Christoph Waltz) is one of the best villain’s of modern cinema, while chapter four analyses the Inglourious Basterds tavern scene with Michael Fassbender. Finally, chapter five looks at some of the best bits of Inglourious Basterds, which take place in the final scene at the cinema. 00:00 – Introduction 01:51 – Chapter One: Where the Basterds Began (Opening scene analysis) 06:22 – Chapter Two: Jewish Revenge (The ethics of “killin’ Nazis”) 11:28 – Chapter Three: OK, we’ll talk about Hans Landa (Tarantino’s best villain) 16:35 – Chapter Four: The Tavern Scene (Bar scene analysis) 19:03 – Chapter Five: The Power of Cinema (Historical accuracy) *** 🔵 Don’t forget to SUBSCRIBE if you liked the video – it helps more than you know 🔵 𝗙𝗢𝗟𝗟𝗢𝗪 𝗣𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗫 𝗢𝗡 𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗬𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗡𝗚, 𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗬𝗪𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗘, 𝗔𝗟𝗟 𝗔𝗧 𝗢𝗡𝗖𝗘 ☑️ Buy me a coffee: https://ko-fi.com/pentexproductions ☑️ Twitter https://twitter.com/PentexP (mostly for James Bond chat) ☑️ Letterboxd https://letterboxd.com/PentexPenguin (to prove I watch other movies besides LOTR and James Bond) ☑️ Instagram https://www.instagram.com/pentexfromyoutube/ (for brief movie reviews, and wider channel updates) *** Opening music: Motorbike, Tracktribe (YouTube Audio Library) Ambient music: https://www.bensound.com/royalty-free-music *** RECOMMENDED VIEWING Inglourious Basterds – The Elements of Suspense | Lessons From the Screenplay -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AvtOY0YrF-g Remembering With A Twist - A Jojo Rabbit & The Book Thief Video Essay | Ladyknightthebrave - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcOVAt13U3w&vl=en SOURCES (interviews) Charlie Rose | Quentin Tarantino - https://charlierose.com/videos/26959 Inglourious Basterds Full Press Conference - Cannes Film Festival 2009 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlofJ9mlC1Q Quentin Tarantino on Inglourious Basterds | Film4 Interview Special - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chN3N2owYBQ Charlie Rose | Christoph Waltz - https://charlierose.com/videos/15575 SOURCES (articles) Quentin Tarantino talks Inglourious Basterds - RT Interview | Henri Sordeau - https://editorial.rottentomatoes.com/article/quentin-tarantino-talks-inglourious-basterds-rt-interview/ Hollywood’s Jewish Avenger | Jeffrey Goldberg - https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2009/09/hollywoods-jewish-avenger/307619/ Seeing Nazis Massacred, Followed by a Discussion | Paul Vitello - https://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/18/nyregion/18basterds.html Tarantino Rewrites the Holocaust | Daniel Mendelsohn - https://www.newsweek.com/tarantino-rewrites-holocaust-79003 ‘Inglourious Basterds’ came out 10 years ago.
