Ron Evangelista is a writer with a burning passion for movies. He became enamored with films at a very young age when his father tirelessly watched them with him in a small apartment in Makati City, Philippines. As a result, he has developed a lifelong love-affair with cinema, as well as an unhealthy obsession with the Sergio Leone close-up.
The Big Picture With a distinct and unmistakable vision, Quentin Tarantino has cemented himself in popular culture, to the point where his style has merited its own word in the Oxford English Dictionary: Tarantinoesque. While he has displayed his recognizable aesthetic, together with a lot of memorable scenes in nine feature films, it is arguably in Inglourious Basterds where his oeuvre is at its most exemplary.
The Cineliterate References in the Tavern Scene Elevates 'Inglourious Basterd' Close Tarantinoesque, defined as "characterized by graphic and stylized violence, non-linear storylines, cine-literate references, satirical themes, and sharp dialogue," is a succinct way to describe the frenetic filmmaking of one of the most influential filmmakers of our time.
Understanding the Viewers' Expectations As the Basterds make their way inside the basement-like bar, they are surprised to see von Hammersmark engaging in a guessing game with German soldiers. It transforms the whole dynamic of their plan since they initially thought that they would be alone. von Hammersmark soon joins them, but as soon as they get to the discussion, an inebriated soldier intrudes on them.
Sharp Words and A Bloody Ending As the game concludes with Hellstrom successfully guessing the character assigned to him, Hicox informs him that he is intruding which results in one of the most riveting exchanges of words between two Tarantino characters. Both Diehl and Fassbender savor each and every syllable of their dialogue, and the audience is left to grip their seats in anticipation.
