Mexican Standoff: Film and Culture Class

 

WWII in Europe was 1941 to 1945. We will change genres from class to class.

Genre: is kind of movie – comedy, drama, animation, documentary, science fiction, romance, etc.

The Inglorious Basterds is historical fiction. Fiction means not true.

One of the themes is revenge. Germany (Nazis) killed 7,000,000 Jews.

We have the team of special soldiers led by the Apache (played by Brad Pitt). They are Jewish soldiers.

We have the girl whose family was killed at the start of the movie.

A Mexican Standoff: In a fight where both sides will lose

Winston Churchill: England’s leader (Prime Minister) during WWII

Foreshadow: when the director or writer gives hints about what will happen later

In Shakespeare’s drama, a woman will wear red if there will be killing and tragedy later

  1. The character of Sarah Madan, the only surviving Jewish woman, plays a crucial role in the second half of the film. Her revenge plan intersects with the actions of "Inglourious Basterds" and finally reaches the climax of the plot.The Inglourious Basterds it is not only a war movie with the theme of World War II, but also a profound discussion about violence, revenge, morality and justice. Although the film is full of blood and extreme plots, the themes it explores are worthy of our in-depth reflection, making people think about the truth of history, the price of revenge, and the boundaries of justice.
