As time passes, the story has a tendency to become distorted from its truest form. Time causes people to move away from precision and become more interested in what they want to remember. Hollywood has a reputation for creating films that appeal more to the average moviegoer, rather than history buffs. Inglourious Basterds, by Quentin Taratino, takes a very liberal liberty with a historical story and creates a story that will sell to audiences. This may seem dubious, but it's often not that bad. Hollywood can take a story that may have a connotation, whether serious or sad, and turn it into something that evokes different emotions, while still addressing historical issues or topics. Taratino chooses to make a film of this type for the way in which he manages to portray a very serious topic like no one had ever done before. It chooses the theme of the Second World War and the Nazis, but does not capture its generic representation. Many previous films on this topic have been released either showing heroic Americans fighting insurmountable odds, or forlorn Jews fighting throwing the worst. While it may seem dark to make a film that takes a serious subject so lightly, it is part of the historical process. As it becomes more and more distant over time, less and less truth and seriousness is put into it. He is seen in many other Hollywood films, such as The Patriot (2000), 300 (2007), Braveheart (1995), and Django Unchained (2012). What's interesting in many films like these is that the enemy is often portrayed in an extremely negative way, almost so extreme, that it can be compared to the Nazis. Hollywood uses Nazis as level regulators for enemies, there is nothing worse than them. It's interesting to see how Taratino portrays the... middle of paper... taken with a grain of salt, because each will show their true colors when the time comes. Inglourious Basterds creates an atmosphere that has never been equaled in a war film. It tackles the most serious themes with the pleasure of a comedy. In the end, the film ends as the audience wants, but not without a few more difficulties than expected. Especially remembering the type of films Taratino made, there was a real possibility that the Nazis would win. They had adversity the whole movie, they were on their heels, they were the underdogs. The Nazis almost pulled this one off. Taratino keeps his audience guessing and keeps them on their toes throughout the film. In the end, the audience is left with a new view of the Nazi, a more respected view. The Nazis are often considered so evil that one forgets what kind of adversaries they were; they were human.
