Then I decided that if Quentin Tarantino had wanted us to really explore this, he would have given us any backstory or follow-up at all. And he didn't. I think he just wanted to show cool bloody violence, as he often does. And I'm gonna leave it at that, for this movie.Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06924517010757180799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5124832616535455374.post-34088595355227979352009-08-26T21:21:10.562-07:002009-08-26T21:21:10.562-07:00For what it's worth, here is an alternative vi...For what it's worth, here is an alternative view: http://www.newyorker.com/arts/critics/cinema/2009/08/24/090824crci_cinema_denby<br /><br />I didn't think it would be fair to share it given that I haven't seen the film, although I suspect that I would agree with it if I had.

He does things no one else has ever done and I appreciate those things, but it might not be enough to overcome all the things that don't make sense and/or made sense the first time and didn't need to be seen/said twice (or more.)<br /><br />And I still don't really know what The Basterds plan was, besides 'kill Germans.'Scaggsawayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17609643347079663232noreply@blogger.com
