Inglorious Basterds

From watching this film in class I have been able to pick up key elements of the film, such as the audience reaction due to the self refernetial way that it depicts the Nazi hunting of the Jews and the ruthlessness of the Nazi party. Another way that representation works is the way tha Brad Pitt is depicted. He is depcited in the eyes of the American public at least as a hero and do not stop to think whether he is truly the good guy as he and the rest of the inglorious basterds commit violent acts that can be seen as similar to the acts of the Nazi troops. It is also interesting that a number of key themes from previous Quentin Tarantino films remain in this film. The Soundtrack at times sounds similar to Kill Bill and it maintains the heavy violence seens form both Kill Bill and Pulp Fiction. Especially Pulp Fiction as this opened everyones eyes when they first saw it.
