Quentin Tarantino just wanted to make a movie where Hitler gets shot in the face and I really don't think it's deeper than that.
Quentin Tarantino just wanted to make a movie where we see Hitlers feet and I really don't think it's deeper than that.
I just watched Kill Bill and I had heard about QT's foot thing but didn't remember noticing it in Inglorious Basterds. Anyway in Vol. 1 Beatrix's feet fill the entire screen for a solid few minutes separated by cuts to her face where she's keeps repeating "wiggle your big toe." There's technically a reason for it on screen but the way it's executed is so blatant.
That's kind of my gut feeling too but then the question is did he unintentionally make a movie about a film where the movie is almost a 1 to 1 stand in for the film?
Huh? Hitler is consumed by the fire of burning film stock, it's about the power of art and cinema ya goofus.
They are obliterating him with submachine guns when the explosives around their ankles go off.
This is just dirty dozen genre- conventions.
The thematic and spiritual point is that he burns in literal film.
