I agree with this. I thought he also made mention that implied this train of thought when he was complaining about his nickname, "the jew hunter"

Wish Eli Roth had less screentime. Really didn't like him but this might be a personal bias. Michael Myers was not great but tolerable, but maybe his casting was intentional as a commentary on Americans playing Europeans.

Thought Landa would have been too smart to fall in to that situation in the end but perhaps because he is one who lives by a set of rules and mistakenly presumed Aldo did the same.

scene with Landa at the beginning where they switch to English to smoothly remove the need for subtitles and just when you thought that was the end of it, it has a deeper layer in which its revealed that Landa planned the switch to English all along in order to facillitate the collaboration of the French Farmer.

Also loved the mirror of Hitler laughing at the propaganda film of Zoller shooting allied soldiers followed by the climax in which the audience cheers and laughs at the killing of Germans by the Basterds. Its also no coincidence that some of the German characters in this film are more deeply characterized and humanized than the Basterd members who are pretty much threadbare caricatures. Its a subtle jab/critique of past war films. Yet, Tarantino by the inclusion of the Shoshanna storyline makes it clear that he is not advocating some kind of moral relativism.

how AWESOME was that 4th reel Shoshanna made? (was that her name?) it was pretty damn cool the way she was laughing and howling, the screen on fire...wow....incredible image

1.I noticed this right off the bat and I liked it where in Chap. 1 when the farmer was outside. He sees the Nazis coming, and he tells the daughters to go inside the house. Landa speaks to the farmer while outside then asks to go inside the house and while inside the house Landa then requests the daughters to go outside, he then calls the soilders and then asks them to come inside the house then soshanna runs outside escaping. The ol repeated "in out, in out." After I think about it was ingenious and an obv. deliberate subtlety that he threw in purposely.

2. Another thing, he has shown to have matured as a fimmaker he used more of an Alfred Hitchcock style, to create an aura of suspense in simple scenes such as -two people talking at a table.... throughout the entire film.

3. He used all his classic Tarrantinoesque methods in this one.

He always has a scene shot like it coming from a car trunk in all his movies...somehow I missed this but i heard his patented "car trunk shot" was in scene 2.

His obsession with womens feet...He always has a foot fetish shot or scene in most all of his movies...Act 5 Bridget and Landa in theatre.

Every Tarrantino movie he has a table talk scene where characters are sitting across from a table with interesting dialouge..Many of these scenes in this film where characters are sitting across from table conversing.

He always has a "Mexican Standoff Scene in all his movies" - The Bar scene - This IMO was undoubtebly his BEST Mexican Standoff scene in any of his movies. - He actually had 2 of them within in 5 minutes

One of the bad guys always gets away all of his movies as Illustrated by Landa in this movie.

Basically all of the Tarrantino pattented quirks were in this movie.

I thought it was pretty clear and repeated twice - She inherited it from her aunt.

not at all!! i thought it was great they had the twisted mind behind "cabin fever" and "hostel" pulling off some of the best kills of the movie. the baseball bat scene was awesome, and loved him pwning hitler and the other ppl in the theater.

For example, the Pitt character has an obvious rope burn on his neck and was probably lynched at some point, but it is never mentioned and is just treated as background.
