Inglourious Basterds (2009) — Deep Report

Summary

Inglourious Basterds (2009) is a war film written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. The story is an alternate-history World War II narrative that follows two primary storylines: a Jewish-French cinema owner, Shosanna Dreyfus, seeking revenge after a Nazi massacre of her family; and a group of Jewish-American soldiers known as "The Basterds," led by Lt. Aldo Raine, conducting brutal guerrilla operations against Nazis. The plot converges at a premiere in Paris where a scheme to assassinate Nazi leadership unfolds.

  • Production companies: A Band Apart, Michel B. Roth, etc.
  • Awards: Christoph Waltz won the Academy Award, BAFTA, and Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor.
  • 2. The Narrative Function of Polyglot Tension The plot revolves around three linguistic axes: Lt. Aldo Raine’s (Brad Pitt) Appalachian English, Shosanna Dreyfus’s (Mélanie Laurent) French, and Col. Hans Landa’s (Christoph Waltz) German, Italian, and English. The film’s most famous scene—the “basement tavern shootout”—fails if the viewer does not understand the stakes of accent and mis-translation (the incorrect gesture for “three”).
