Watched Inglorious Basterds for the 3rd time and....

Well said Perk, and I agree for the most part, however I feel there were so many great set pieces, they overwhelmed any shortcomings in the rest of the film. The bar scene, the farm house scene, Landa and Shosanna at the hotel, Zoller and Shosanna outside the theatre and inside the coffee shop (I swear Laurent can do an entire scene with no spoken words, just her eyes :wub: ).

Now by listing those I kind of proved your point, none of those sequences have the Basterds in them. They are almost like comic relief in the film as the real stories and characters here are Shosanna and Landa; the Basterds seem to simply be there as a vehicle to proceed the story for them. I guess this is why some people felt deceived by the name and marketing of the film, but honestly, how many people would have gone to see a movie called Shosanna? :hmm:

I thought at one point Shoshanna was going to join forces with the Basterds but that never came to fruition. They did unknowingly helped each other though. So maybe she was unofficially a Basterd?

I liked Stolz der Nation better.

I'm pretty glad that didn't happen, I think it would have been kind of cheesy. You could definitely call her an honorary Basterd as she ended up doing the same thing they were planning to do; I like to think of her as a lone wolf though.

I had high hopes for that movie.
I am disappoint.
