Tarantino's Approach to the Notorious Nazi Past
It seems to be a trait of really great films to combine almost irreconcilable art forms, techniques and styles and by doing that introduces the audience to a completely new aspect of storytelling and style. Quentin Tarantino’s “Inglorious Basterds” is such a film, and yet it tries not to appear special by being shabby at curves, unpolished at certain places and lacking to use the moral high ground of most of the films portraying WWII events. The screenplay for “Inglorious Basterds”, which was written by the director Tarantino himself, had been developed in the course of many years, which allowed him to polish all the details and develop his unusual story to an extent where the words spoken on the screen appeared as natural as if there were no real screenplay at all. This unique writing method allowed the actors to take their characters in whichever direction they wanted, but still to remain truthful to their original background that was set before the shooting even began. This fact distinguishes Tarantino from other screenplay writers, and allows him to do whatever he sets out to do creatively in the first place, allowing the interference by the studio executives only at the very end, when the whole project is ready to appear on the market. But let us look closely at the film itself.
On the level of film message, Tarantino’s genial bastards confront the audience potentially with several very serious taboo issues. Let us name some of them. The first issue could be formulated as the following question: Should top level officers of conquered armies, who committed massive war crimes against civilians, be allowed to have arranged conditional surrenders (legal and safe rat channels) or should they be eternally be branded with the sign whose victory they expected? Tarantino’s bad Jewish boys prefer branding with knife curved Nazi swastikas on the forehead. The second issue could be also put in a question form: Since justice is rarely just and since the victims of WWII (the Jews in the first place) cannot be compensated completely for their losses – should the victims be allowed to commit revenge in their own manner? Tarantino’s bad boys take scalps like the Apache and the film music supports this association by citing and mixing music even from the brutal spaghetti westerns with the film music composed by Ennio Morricone. The third issue is a problem of postmodernist, playful, pseudo-historical reconstruction of the end of the WWII. Here, Tarantino provokes us with the fictitious possibility of ending the war by killing Hitler, Goebbels, Bormann and Goering in a movie theater (“all rotten eggs in one basket”). After numerous unsuccessful assassination attempts on Hitler, the “Painter” himself happens to be killed by moving pictures in a Paris cinema? Nobody before Tarantino hit on such an idea. The fourth issue is the problem of the German racism against Jews and Blacks, which is really a very good topic considering some actual revivals of the neo-Nazi subculture worldwide. And the fifth issue is the problem of a brilliant, intelligent, eloquent, polyglot, charming and well-mannered mass murderer in the character of the SS-colonel Hans Landa, standing here for some very famous Nazi monsters who managed to escape from the justice (e.g. Mengele), being a caricature who manages to learn eventually to use the expression “bingo!” properly – but in rather bizarre circumstances. Besides, Hans Landa seems to be kind of a cross between the sleuth living at 221B Baker Street and Michael Dobbs’ sinister politician Francis Urqhart from his bestselling novel “The House of Cards”, too. Even more so, the rest of the cast is brilliantly portraying many stereotypical roles that could have walked off from the set of any Sergio Leone’s films, or even from such films as “Dirty Dozen”, “Where Eagles Dare”, “The Eagle Has Landed” etc.
Celebrity Gossip Effect on Celeb Kids
Celebrity gossip sites have a wave of enthusiastic readers all over the world. They have dedicated readers who check up on updates, no matter what the constraints are. What we do not really notice sometimes is what effect do celeb gossip sites have on the kids of these celebrities? It must surely be taxing to have tons of entertainment news sections talking about their parents. The situation is really difficult for kids whose parents have broken up. They must be feeling a mind-numbing experience of all that is written about people who are close to them. Being of an impressionable mind and age, kids are more likely to believe whatever they read.
Celeb kids don’t always know that many celebrity gossip sites publishes half-baked stories to meet certain deadlines and sometimes, just because they do not have anything better to report. This trend among celeb gossip writers is the most damaging. This is detrimental to the credibility of the celeb gossip sites. The kids of the celebrities they tear apart in their entertainment news sections are the ones who bear the brunt. It is really sad that kids have to read a lot of drivel about their parents, the hook-ups and linkages that these writers cook up where they are non-existent. It is not a very enviable situation to be in.

Writer/director Tim Blake Nelson manages a finely tuned balance that is rare in cinema. Moving from the far reaches of comedy to the nether regions of drama, he never skips a beat or sets the pitch too high. Leaves of Grass spins the notion of ‘you can’t go home again’ around and then kicks its protagonist in the ass. (Yes, you can go home Billy—in fact you had better do so now.) Nelson creates an original take on this age old theme that is also entertaining. This film is a wild ride that manages not to derail. Edward Norton’s performance in the dual roles of the not-so-identical twins is certain to create a buzz.
