Inglorious Basterds
« on: August 22, 2009, 07:26:30 PM »
has anyone seen this yet? i saw it today and was dissappointed. i love tarantino. usually enjoy everything he does. but i was not thrilled about having to read 80% of this movie. i feel like with out subtitles, it could have been cool. brad pitt's character was amusing. but for the most part, i didn't care for it.  what are your thoughts on this movie?

Yer somethin of a smartass.  It's ok to disagree with someone, but don't be a putz about it.  ***sigh**

Subtitles are a pain in the ass.  But to each his own.

Valkyrie was a great movie and the fact that there were no subtitles didn't make it any less "realistic."

I like foreign films which for the most part have subtitles.  I don't have an issue with them at all.

A couple of nights ago I watched "Flame and Citron" - a subtitled Danish film about their resistance in WWII and a true story.  I wondered if Inglorious Basterds might have been influenced by it.  I'm looking forward to watching/reading Inglorious Basterds.

Tarantino made this after being influenced after the Italian film "the Inglorious Bastards"
which was made in 1978. Don't know if it is a remake or follows the same plotline. That could be why it's done with alot of subtitle and hence the name "Inglorious Basterds"
