Inglorious Bastards. Was it supposed to be a comedy?

[CJ]

Just seen this film for the first time on DVD. I enjoyed it immensely laughed all the way through it. Only at the end did I consider it wasn't supposed to be a comedy. Was it supposed to be a comedy?

[Animavore]

I think so. That's the impression I got of the ad.

[FBM]

I watched it twice and came away with a both times.


I read a 5-dollar phrase a few days ago in reference to the film being something like historical revisionism or something (forgot it already and can't be arsed to find it again atm). IOW, somebody making fiction from history.

I think it was trying to mix comedy with a serious pro-Semitic political agenda. Or something. IMO, it tried to do too much and wound up shooting itself in the foot. But I'm no , so .

I had the same reaction to the movie. Meh.

If I recall it was called a drama at the Golden Globe awards.

So was Avatar

I was expecting so much more from QT, too. I kept an eye on the torrents for months until it showed up. Then...that.

[cowiz]

I quite enjoyed it.

I was going to torrent it this morning. I might not bother now. It seemed like it was going to take forever to download so I erased it.

I quite enjoyed it.

Twats tend to.

I take that as a confession of twattitudityness.

Well I sort of got the impression it was using all the bad bits from 60/70s war films like the obviously wrong tanks and the wrong noises for weapons. Two people using identical weapons but each sounding different. The film's visual style and colour were straight out of that era. The obvious model shots were obvious. The 'in your face' poor continuity. We know QT can do it right when he wants to so he must have been deliberately fucking with us big time with this one. The OTT caricatures, FFS he even managed to find a Ben Murphy look-alike! I loved it, but apparently for all the wrong reasons.

[Arse]

Its enjoyable nonsense.

So it's a lot like Kelly's Heroes then ...
