Inglourious Basterds: What Tarantino Got Wrong - Wisecrack Edition
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 июн 2019
- Many Tarantino films celebrate film as a medium through references and homages, but Inglourious Basterds goes a step further. It’s a testament to the power of film. But is Tarantino’s message no longer relevant?

#InglouriousBasterds #QuentinTarantino
I'm pretty sure this movie is 100% historically accurate.
Same bro
Yeah it's true I was there.
@Nigerian Prince Holy shit! No time long see
Michael Roper no it suck
Nope, bro, German high command was killed by a lone dude called Blazkowitz.
0:15 I thought he’s gonna say *”It’s his profound love for feet.”*
🤨
Well, that too was referenced in one scene
I thought that too lol
Foot massage
" this may just be my masterpiece "
Yes quentin I think it is
Very pretentious.
It’s brave of you to assume that’s not pulp fiction 😂
Tardis crew inglorious basterds is amazing but pulp fiction is his masterpiece (at least in my opinion)
It's garbage. Absolute garbage. Like the low life that made it.
Vector Sigma lmao call him what you want but while you’re complaining about a director on the internet, he’s in his nice big penthouse with his millions. Who’s the lowlife again?
One more note about Inglorious Basterds: when Shosanna kills Frederick it is the gunshots in the film playing that cover her real gunshots. Cinema helps her out and the Nazis are too stuck in their own film to realize they're in danger.
Yes there’s a reason she quickly looks out the projector window to make sure no one noticed
That's pretty explicit in the movie.
Pretty sure everybody knows it
But cinema kills her: she sees a moving scene with Frederick being somewhat shellshocked on top of the belltower. She then watches him, walks to him and gets gunned down...
@@MrGougui Very well noted actually! Both sides of the coin, I guess.
wait, are you telling me it's not acutally "that's a bingo"???

@@RaylaEclipse I watched one of his videos, and uh yikes.
@@justacat.1428 Nazism is an ideology. They definitely do still exist.
This is why I loved Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. The film so often takes little moments to address how Tarantino's belief in and admiration for the innocence of Hollywood and the innocence of American culture is failing, whether that's in Dalton's self-doubt about himself and his career, the suspense scenes involving the seemingly inevitable horrors surrounding the Manson cult, or the bits where Tate naively watches herself in the theater, oblivious to the tragedy we know would befall her in real life. In a sense, it's like he's realizing that these moments of taking delight in the power of cinema are fading slowly, in the same way that I'd argue he was somewhat hinting at towards the end of Basterds with the idea of destroying the theater (though, like the video said, not without following it up with a moment of indulgence by Tarantino through blowing up Hitler and the Nazi machine with it). But in the final act of OUaTiH, you pretty much feel him take a deep breath and go, "Yeah, my belief in the movie system may be a dated one, but you know what? I'm gonna keep believing in it, long after it's gone," culminating in yet another Tarantino revisionist moment, a defiant middle finger to the industry which has slowly suffocated the art form for years now.
Or it could be about feet.
Yeah, it's probably about feet.
This is my fave Tarantino comment ever 🙏🏽⚡️🤓😎
Loved this interpretation
The thing that remained fixed in my mind was how calm and matter of fact Shosanna and Marcel were as they lived their last hours and enacted their plan and how clear but understated their love for each other was as they did so, then Shosanna laughing as the screen melts and then her laughing image projected on the smoke. The first time I saw that I was like...Wow. Now that's a scene
"Experian has lobbied in support of the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act, legislation currently being considered in the Senate that would broaden its immunity were it to share its stores of information with the Department of Homeland Security (which in turn would be compelled to share it with law enforcement and the NSA). "
Dunno man. I might be a little more wary about whose sponsorship you accept, speaking of double-edged swords.

Hopefully this doesn't end up like the Candid debacle.
Welcome to Crapitalism, Comrade
Couldn't agree more
There are no ethical consumables under capitalism ;)
to be fair, it's alternate history...I see it more as a what if instead of the solution, and Tarantino is an eccentric anyway, so not everyone will agree with his interpretations/ suggestions xD

You can't destroy an ideology with violence or lies. You can only destroy it with the truth.
The sad part about that is that we live more and more in a post-truth world where facts can be dismissed as 'fake news' and 'mainstream media lies' which shows how much the mass media and in general society has messed up when it comes to selling facts and truth for biases and spectacle.
This isn't even remotely true lmfao.
Um, no. You can only destroy something with the oldest wrecking ball of all time: violence/power.
@Jordan Myles Evans what the fuck…
That sounds good but isn’t true. Knowledge and truth is not a cure to ignorance or arrogance. So it won’t be able to change someone’s ideology alone. Life experience cannot be taught just like how breaking ideologies cannot merely be taught. Some are even stubborn to death and war. Those who started it may die, but it can live on into new groups that share the same belief.
Two things I realised recently
1) Landa almost never kills anyone directly. He is just a detective. She avoids shooting Shoshanna in the beginning. The only person he kills is von Hammersmark
2)When they meet again he orders milk. He definitely knows who she is

I have watched inglorious basterds like 10 times, and I never tire of watching it, it's simply the best movie I have ever seen, and believe me I have seen quite a lot. I once watched it 2 times in a row without a break.
My favourite scene is the one in the tavern btw
I mean ok, but at some point I felt it is over simplifying to say the rise of neonazism is because of the fall of the glory of cinema. There are like a million reasons this has happened and cinema is probably not the big part
It's also grossly overstated, especially in the US. There is no new white nationalist movement on the rise in the US, it's just that liberals keep on calling anyone who disagrees with them a white supremacist. I say that as a liberal. It needs to stop.
Lodatz there’s literally neo-nazi groups that proudly parade themselves around as neo-nazis and there’s the most there have ever been in the world since the early 20th century and probably the most in America ever
Dean Keepers the FUCKING southerners.

I don't think Tarantino necessarily got the message of Inglorious Basterds wrong or that it's no longer relevant. I think the movie is merely about the power of cinema and that can be applied in numerous manners. It could just refer to how films can impact us and resonate with us, and in that sense it really hasn't lost relevance as its message is something that'll last until cinema itself is gone. As long as movies are being made and can resonate with people, his message here stands.
Considering that Tarantino himself was supposed to portray Aldo Raine instead of Brad Pitt, the last line of the movie is even more obvious as it should have been the director himself talking straight in the eyes of the audience saying "This might be my masterpiece"
I love this channel and love that y'all get sponsorships but I wish you wouldn't have done Experian. Since they had every adult in America's data hacked and nothing bad happened to them. Love this channel but that company isn't good.
Edit: I just did a little more research and saw that I had Experian and Equifax mixed up. Equifax is the one with the awful hack, TransUnion and Experian are the other companies. I apologize about spreading misinformation on that, but don't apologize for loving the channel. Keep it up Jared!

@Doctor Spaceman ya just say bingo
I don't think the ending is that simple. I've always thought that the bigger statement in the burning down of the theater that leads to the death of Hitler is that if you destroy cinema, you destroy history.
I think Tarantino has been very aware from the start that this is going to happen. And in all of his movies, in both his universes cinema is the thing that keeps everything together. And he has always modified history in his films as far back as True Romance. He has also stated this numerous times in interviews. Throughout his films you'll find embellishments to history as we know it and those aren't just bad writing. Tarantino needs to have his stories driven by cinema away from historical accuracy. The purpose for this is beyond me, to be honest, but it's so obvious to any Tarantino fan that this is one of the most self-aware things he does in his movies. I hope by the 10th film there is a hint of why this is so, but knowing his work so far, I think it will remain a puzzle. Like why the hell did he decide to name his first film "RESERVOIR" dogs. In his words it just sounds cool.
And that's another thing Tarantino does a lot... he just improvises.
When a movie is ten years old, spoiler alerts should not be needed anymore.
And it’s also free on youtube. So if you didn’t watch it at that point, it’s kind of stupid to complain about spoilers.
Just a quick note: there hasn’t actually been an increase in hate crimes. Reports of hate crimes have increased over the last few years because more departments have just started reporting them.
Also, you've got neo-progressives in power who expand the definition of hate crime to include things no sane person would consider to be such. Maybe not so much in the US but definitely in some places in Europe such as the UK.
Also most "hate crimes" are all faked.
Or people on the right are the ones being hate crimed

Given that a huge proportion of the men serving in the German army by 1944-1945 are unwilling conscripts, many of them teenagers, it's almost certain that the Basterds victims were teenage boys pressed into being a soldier against their will.

What a thorny argument, for even if you try to dispute it, in a way, you prove it.
What are the main arguments of the video that you disagree with?
@@mariojose1993 The central idea that morality is dependent upon pop culture for its dissemination and acceptance by the masses, that it can be weakened simply by the multiplicity of voices online. Many of which are the same cultural arguments we've been having for decades transported to a new medium, hence why topical shows like The Simpsons at its best are still insightful now.
If you define Nazis to include Neo-Nazis and other white supremacists, then you could say that cinema failed to destroy the Nazis. That's a pretty broad definition that sets the bar very high for cinema. In order to clear that bar, film would have had to fundamentally change human nature instead of just helping to end a facist political movement in the 1930s.
Chad I mean American History X is a great film
Dunno if it's just me, but these videos just seem to be getting better and better
The monoculture is dead, long live the monoculture.
Pretty much
"robotism" really is a derogatory word that means big shot tv executive not having the control of culture under their thumb
Even if that only lead to worse outcome, I would prefer "robotism" to the alternative on ideological grounds alone
I don't know much about McLuhan, beside of how popular he apparently was and I would like if you talked more about his ideas.
But, either you didn't explain his idea clearly or I just don't like his idea of "robotism"
Robotism is a media mogul's complaint that he can't be Goebbels anymore and that he's going to lose control of the nation's culture.
I don't think anyone should be in control of the nation's culture.
Sure, it might be sad that we are no longer united by a common culture (calling in a monoculture, feels icky to me btw) but that's just the price of freedom ? And really doesn't that mostly lead to design by comitty, watered down lowest common denominator pop culture (like the avengers)
shodanxx I agree. I enjoy robotism much moreso than centralism, but I think it’s more of an interesting reality than a positive one. Propaganda has shifted to accommodate robotism. Look at Britannica USA’s targeted advertising. Propaganda made for the robotism era. I’m interested in how robotism will effect they changing America.
You had me until your comment about the avengers (unless you're referring to the one from the 90s)
Well for someone who don't know much about an author's ideas, you seem to sounds like expert tbh... that's your interpretation mate.
Robotism isn't a media mogul complain. It's a philosophical concept that simply means society lack a central culture. Shrinking it down to media is very reductive. Religion, science, education etc are ALL affected by a central culture, or lack thereof.
I'm also very much shocked that you state "that's just the price of freedom" while simultaneously contradicting yourself by mentioning that "it's sad" because we now mostly end up with films created by " a design comity". Isn't that everything but creative freedom?
He also never said that someone in particular should be ruling a nation's culture. This idea that an individual or a company rule culture is actually a product of robotism, which as you said IS a derogative term because it literally means corporations (or religious cult, or political organizations) playing on the de-centralization of culture to appeal individualism.
Ironically enough, those corporations are very hypocrite and in fact, reveal that robotism control your "freedom" of choice by restricting content based on your IP address for example.
Of course a "monoculture" isn't a good either but we all need to at least find a group of people who share the same interest than ours. This is a perfectly natural and healthy human behavior. There is nothing wrong in being proud of your culture. That doesn't mean that you think it's "superior" to others' culture - at all! You have all the rights in the world to be proud of your culture. Why wouldn't you?! It's your heritage to *share with the world*.
It *defines you as a human being*. You have all the right in the world to take your distances or even reject your culture if you don't like it, and choose another one.
But at the end of the day, we're all part of a culture. Being in London isn't the same as being in Hong Kong. The unwritten rules and ways of life are completely different, and it we weren't agreeing on some set of common behavioral archetype, the world would be in constant chaos (which it is already close to).
The fact that the guy telling you “your thoughts should be in line with the rest of society” is the one calling actual free diverse thinking “Robotism” tells you all you need to know about how full of shit this “‘media theorist” is.
Incredible how no one else is acknowledging this.
that feeling when finish ur concluding paragraph with reflecting on the glorification of the past and the vast dependancy on it existing as an idealization in order to maintain hope in an 'ever fracturing world' and it gives everyone whiplash from the tonal shift of that truth bomb to upbeat advertisement.

@@Clay3613 yep not a fan of fan fiction.
Clearly film, whether 35mm, 70mm, or something else, is not intrinsically anti-Nazi, as Nazis used and adapted film to advance their purpose. What changed is another group took control of film. Dumping the silliness of right or left brain thinking, it is just a matter of who controlled culture and to what end. On the darker side, that industrial-cinematic complex also suppressed and shut out a lot of voices, and those groups have found new venues on the Internet, including commercial streaming services. Nazis and such groups are still fringes, but they are just able to be seen more now without some elite shutting them out. Transgender, heck even gay people, remain “fringe” numerically, but they can be seen too, as well as other minority, and not so minority, groups too. What has changed is we don’t have some elite group controlling media and keeping voices out. This is a GOOD thing, even if we end up seeing stuff we don’t want to see, or we don’t want around us. So, we just have to find new ways to deal with folks besides simply pretend they don’t exist or don’t matter. Unfortunately, most of the energy seems to be focusing on censorship, harassing platforms not to let people on, Great Wall of China, algorithms to keep content from offending our delicate sensibilities. It is the same old control people with power tactics. But it won’t work in the modern age and that too is a GOOD thing. We should justify acting like Nazis to fight Nazis, not in the real, non cinematic world. If folks think they are the good guys, they need to act like it.
This isn't Wisecracks strongest upload.. hopefully they upload new material soon.
The thing he got wrong was getting Bradd Pit as a main character.
The analysis here was phenomenal, but that background music drove me crazy!
I particularly loved the part where he committed several fallacies and his argument fell flat on his face but because people are sheep he will keep getting money.
Phenomenally bad
One thing I hated about IB is the lack of security they have at the movie premiere. You have Hitler, Goebbles, Goering there. You have a bunch of wealthy high society of Germany there. You even have foreign dignitaries there. What you don't have is the kind of guards & security that type of audience would demand. Also take in account you have a group of maniacs going around killing every Nazi they come across. There would be every kind of security, secret service, sniper & soldier imaginable at that place. They would have spent hours going around the cinema searching inside and out for anything suspicious like, you know, a bunch of flammable film sitting in a big pile. They would have vetted everyone that was attending well before the event took place. If they didn't know you, you weren't getting in. You were probably getting arrested so you could be questioned. There would have been 2x as many men on the outside of the cinema who would have broken down doors to get Hitler and the rest out of there.
Yeah, yeah I know. Suspension of disbelief. It's an alternate history. Landa helped the Basterds win, blah, blah blah.
Still this bothered me when I saw the film years ago.
Okay...but several of the attempts on Hitler's life, including Stauffenberg's, show that Nazi security procedures were actually surprisingly lax at times.
Everyone is forced to use Experian because they're one of the 3 major credit scoring agencies.

StrangerX9 DIO isn’t a morally or psychologically complex villain. He’s just an insanely charismatic, flamboyant, and frankly terrifying villain. If you want one of these videos on _any_ JoJo villain, I would use Yoshikage Kira. Maybe Pucci, because at least then Wisecrack can cover morality from the perspective of attaining Heaven.

In my humble opinion, Tarantino is a genius, I own all of his films in Blu-ray, have seen each several times even with subtitles on so I do not miss anything.
The way he scripts his movies, it's like watching a Shakespearean play, fantastic long dialogues and dramatic endings, no one can deny Quentin is unique.
Mcluhan's view on hemispheric thought has no basis in neuroscience.
-- He mentions that a little after, but it's still a weak argument.
When my dad wanted to go to the cinema, he had to pay the equivalent of €2, when I want to go to the cinema, I have to pay €12 just to see the film, and a bottle of water can cost €5.
I really love the cinema, but it's just too expensive to go watch every film I want to see there.
Especially if the film is potentially really bad, and I can watch it for free two months later.
This whole "going to cinema as ritual" shit is intellectual garbage.. I have seen the best films on my laptop and I don't feel like they influenced me less because of that
Honestly some of the things spewed in this video has no basis or actual research behind them at all, movies have become shit, interacting with people is becoming shittier, and people are starting to lose faith in common sense facts like "nazism is bad" because of a whole bunch of reasons and one of which is that media corps are no longer trust worthy, and not one of them is that netflix is killing the effing "ritual"
@@losersclass I agree.
Plus you don't have to deal with smelly fat/tall people that cough any time they're not talking or checking their phone that they forgot to put on silent while they eat crispy snacks from the most crinkly bag ever invented.
And you get to drink alcohol, decide your own pee breaks, and hang out with people you like when watching the movie at home.
The superior experience is clear to me.
@@Lilliathi I'm more annoyed by kids screaming during the movie and loudly explaining everything to their guardian, who knows nothing about the film.
Unexpected Dagon clip made my heart flutter
The hidden philosophical plot of GTA San Andreas: Conspiracy and Control. How the authority and ambition for power can drive civilians to social clashes in the context of the 90s.
Please talk about Netflix's "Love, Death and Robots"!
That series was amazing
Mostly dumb, the deep bits were adaptations already
Can someone tell me what the name of the piece of classical music playing in the background is called? I love the sound of this piece
Your journalistic analysis is so damn good it makes everything so cohesive and comprehensive. Thank you
I appreciate your summary on this. Are you able to see all of your own work as a waste of time? Handle critics no matter their intensity? Accept that even if you are 100% correct, no one accepts or cares?
If so, you are doing it right. Again, appreciate you.
Makes video about why we talk about Hitler so much; next video talks about Hitler
You mean 10 videos ago?
Wisecracking is never easy, but easy Wisecracking never is.
Well done again.
while watching the movie the characters seemed so real that I thought some of them were real people when they weren't
This was not the video I thought it was going to be. It was really good and insightful. Thanks for sharing this. With that said don't ever again say anything bad about Inglourious Basterds!!!!!!
Title should be: Inglorious Basterds' title: the only thing Tarantino got wrong
Death Proof
How ‘bout my knife
Also, Shoshana, you have to double tap!
Whoh, was not expecting to see Dagon footage dropped in there!
*Cm’on!* The video starts explaining the title at 9:00
I’m ok with a brief synopsis but it can’t long half timing
The second part is really interesting. You did a particular analysis of the metaphorical meaning of Basterds.
“I say to you: *Bravo* 👏🏻 “ ( Landa)
In Argentina the title was translated as Bastards, so i didn't know about the actual name for a couple of years
I though it was called Bastardos sin gloria ("Bastards without glory") in all of Hispanic America. That's certainly the case for my country, Mexico.
@@Pantano63
yeah, that's what i mean, that's the normal speling. if it had been a literal translation it would have been "Basteardos sin glouria" or something like that
@@Pantano63 not all latin america tho, here in Brazil it's "Bastardos Inglórios", also without the E. The change from "inglorious" to "without glory" is weird tho
I think a reason for the rise of right thinking is how globalization and wars have made people mitigate everywhere. Mostly into places that are well off, safe and stable. That leads to a scenario where the original residents go outside and don't see the kind of people they are familiar with. They see different cultures, hear different languages, see different faces. And none of them "fit" into the environment they are used to.
This doesn't get helped by how many migrating people are either unwilling to adapt to the customs of their new environment or aren't getting the necessary support to do so. So they stand out in public but stay among their own privately, leaving them as the foreigners for at least two generations. This gaping chasm between "us" and "them" drives people into the perceived safety of a tighter, more conservative and territorial mindset.
Not to mention the last decade got many people quite disillusioned and dissatisfied with left leadership. Their failings have strengthened the position of the opposing side.
Wow someone on the internet with a brain... so so rare
if by left you mean the sappy "liberal" "feel your pain" crowd that do nothing to help the working people, I would agree 100% with you. which is why even in the USA in paralel with far right you see workers movements
That is very spot on. in contrast to the past when we shared centralized ideas, nowadays we are isolated in our own bubble and consume content exclusively to our personal liking, cementing and reinforcing only narrow set of ideas.
This is the reason Tarantino put Hateful Eight on 70mm film, and planned special screening events before the actual release date of the film. I remember the whole special event. I paid more for my ticket, I got a whole book with a bunch of fun and facts at my fingertips that I didn't have to search for on the internet, and Felt like I knew it before everyone else did. We had an intermission, we all went out together and smoked and talked about what we thought so far. Engagement. It made the whole night special. I think it honestly might on the movie theaters to be able to figure out ways to get people back into the movie theater. A business will die if it doesn't modernize itself. And tbh, just serving me dinner while I watch a movie it just kinda...meh.. Tarantino is doing it on his own, and the movie theater companies need to follow suit and make movie-going experiences more modern and fun and engaging instead of just raising the prices of snacks to compensate for losing the large audience they can actually gain with futuristic thinking.
Wisecrack is so hit or miss it's unreal!
more misses than hits lately too. and obvious biases of people there leaking in to the content over the years. this channel used to be great, now it's just a platform disguised as a philosophy and film channel.
This robotism could've been helpful towards undermining Fascist Germany, which depended on there being a common society which had gotten its values from their state.
Saying film defeated the Nazis is like saying guns defeated the Nazis - if true, then its Technically correct. but its power isn't necessarily Anti-Nazi.
Films have kept the Nazis down. Film propaganda has been incredibly efficient at cementing the image of nazis has evil incarnate. Just look at how differently communists and the USSR are treated in daily life. Does society has the same visceral reaction when they see someone carrying a USSR flag to one carrying a nazi flag? No. The reaction isn't even close despite being both equally abhorrent. That's because of the power of Hollywood's propaganda.
2:59 I didn’t know Ryan Howard was a time traveler
it's good to see the guy from mythbusters doing film critics now
I do think, that Inglorious Basterds is the best movie Tarantino has ever made
I'm going with Jackie Brown. It's his most mature film, and not just because it's also his least violent.
Uhh..usually agree but their were some blantant inaccuracies on this one.
William Blackfyre - For example?
*there, also which ones?
@@MPLS623 8:24
IMHO...QT follows the time proven saying "In order to be a great movie, you need a great villain." Very True
How long after a movie comes out do you usually do a SMTM podcast on it??? I just watched Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and I cannot waiittttttt to hear what y’all have to say about it I needddd now!!
mikayla mast fuckin same. Came back to comment this
