All those shocked reactions to it were genuine. With directorial trickery so rampant, it's no wonder Wesley Snipes tried to strangle the director of Blade 3. Before we spend too much time talking about how creative Hollywood can be, let's take a moment to remember the actors who look identical on every poster they do. Inglourious Basterds Script at IMSDb. Tom (4 out of 1. 0 )I, for one, am tired of Tarantino's writing, which was once so fresh. Lord almighty, I haven't seen more mistakes in written language since my daughter's 2nd grade Elementary writing tests. Poor us, 'baby writers', living in doubts and some in fear of Hollywood Readers. Well, I guess, once you have name and you know you'll be directing your script you can put it on the title page, screw english, screw german.. HERR, yes with double 'r', means Mister in german, not HEER, holy smoke (And I'm not of German descent).. Dreyfuss. Is instead of Dreyfusses. Great Script, always pulling idea of hiding Jewish people during Holocaust, I like it a lot. AND in the future, if someone will point out some imperfections in my scripts I can always direct him to this writing. Morten Sejer Hansen (8 out of 1. Entertaining script. Quentin Tarantino Says Hans Landa Of `inglourious Basterds Imdb
![]() Kinda sloppy spelling and grammar though. I do look forward to the movie, which does seem very Tarantinoesque with 2 storylines intertwining each other. It's also kinda refreshing with a fairytale/adventure set in a historical setting (WW2). Tarantino seems to follow a little bit in the footsteps of his previous Grindhouse films - the characters are kinda one dimensional and not to bee taken too seriously - It is a comedy after all. The light- hearted fairytale approach to this film also allows for Tarantino to created a good amount of suspense and a few laughs and surprises as well - as historical events are turned upside down and new ones created. Although there is a few of very recognizable Tarantino dialogues in Inglorious Basterds, there aren't as many as in many of his previous films. Probably for the better considering the WW2 setting kinda limits too cocky a dialogue. The movie at some points does also seem to be an ode to some of the german filmmakers of the time, like Leni Riefenstahl, but i'm not sure. It also at some points seems to be the opposite - The victory of Hollywood over German cinema. A good amount of suspense. A little love for the ladies. And a couple of pleasant surprises. I'm definitely going to watch it. ALFONSO (9 out of 1. It's a pity that the history didn't go as the movie shows. I didn't expect Tarantino to write such a good script about the Second World War. I enjoyed it maybe more than other Tarantino scripts. I love how in this case he creates great situations with incredible dialogues in which there's no word without a concrete purpose. I like how in this case all those situations are well connected. But I must say that reading this was simply awesome. The style and manner in which he writes is indeed astonishing. Can't wait to see the whole movie. Thanks IMSDb. P. Richardson (7 out of 1. The formatting of this script aggravates me at times. Especially when you want to print out as a PDF and all the mishaps keep on appearing. The same problem with True Romance. And does anyone know if that Natural Born killers script is really written by him? Now to the Script. Still great though the tension shifts so well. Wonder how it will play on the big screen. Aaron (1. 0 out of 1. Wonderful, just wonderful. Tarantino did an amazing job, great story, great ending, graphic, awesome. Wonder how this will go with the movie crowd though because it doesn't have a lot of action, except for the ending and the one bar scene. Douglas (8 out of 1. One, I must admit I love the way he puts . I knew I was not going to be reading the next Pulp Fiction or any of that fantastic dialogue from Jackie Brown but I was expecting more than this. The characters are amazing, the usual bad asses from any Quentin Tarantino movie, but the setting and the way the characters interacted were odd to me. I just don't think he knew how to put his spin on the WW genre and it may have been better for him to stick to his roots. But he is a madman with a camera and an artist with a pen so I give it a 8 out of 1. I say keep writing! Henry (1. 0 out of 1. If Sergio Leone and Sam Peckinpah had joined forces in the '7. World War II film, Quentin Tarantino's script for . Now, instead, we've got a new masterpiece, a masterpiece by the master of film making today. The best scene by far has got to be the seen in La Louisianne, the small underground bar outside of Paris. Tarantino's style of witty dialogue leading up to an extremely violent moment is mastered in this scene as a British lieutenant teams up with two of the Basterds to meet up with a German actress (who is working for the allies) in the French bar. But everything goes wrong when a group of Nazis show up at the bar to party and celebrate one of the privates who had just had a child. Amongst the group is a major who figures out that the British lieutenant isn't German at all. The realization leads into and incredibly intense and incredibly violent Sam Peckinpah- style gunfight between the Basterds and the Nazis. Hopefully, this scene will be pure cinema on screen. Bob. The. Sailor (6 out of 1. I love R- Dogs, Pulp fiction, NBK and true romance but everything else has been mediocre to complete shit (no offense). This looks overdone, I mean the jew bear, the jew hunter, that is so dumb but he thinks it's original or something. The speech is excellent but the scalping thing never ever happened or wasn't even recorded happening once, that was just a little extra violence to throw in. I hope he edits it severely. Nevertheless, good plot and Aldo Raine is an interesting character. I hope this film turns out good, because it would be a shame. A For Awesome (1. Terrific script. Pure entertainment. I'll probably be shot for this but I reckon it'll be better than The Dirty Dozen.. Aldo Raine. P. S.. Unknown. Film. Buff (9 out of 1. This is an excellent script. Everything Tarantino writes is excellent (Fan boy ALERT!!), except Pulp Fiction was not excellence, it was Art. Inglourious Basterds has great style and EXCELLENT dialogue but it's main flaw is the film is never very involving. Subtitles, Title- cards kinda take you out of the read and distract you from the main attraction to any film: the STORY. But what do I know? With Tarantino it always has been style over substance (Kill Bill, example) and Kill Bill was genius to a certain extent. But what would you pick, that or 'Dogs'.? Batman (1. 0 out of 1. I don't see what everyone's problem is with this. Tarantino is my favorite director and writer. And this is definitely almost as good as script to . When I heard about the plot for the first time, I was doubting could the script be good. But, there is something great about it. We have all the parts of Tarantino's movie - violence, dialogues.. I can't wait to see it all in cinema on August 2. Diane Kruger's feet. Ron (2 out of 1. This screenplay is exhausting to read. I know Tarantino is one of Hollywood's . I've seen better written stories come out of the second grade. He doesn't know when to use: there, their and they're .. I don't think he used any of them correctly even once. And the dialogue .. Page after page after page. It's obvious he figures he'll be directing this himself because there isn't a lot of action in the screenplay, just endless talking heads. Cali- 4- nia (7 out of 1. I found this script OK, but definitely not his best work. This is by far Tarantino's best work since Pulp Fiction. The screenplay, unlike some I've perused, was very easy to follow and flowed well. It felt like I was reading a novel. For instance when the Jews are hiding under the floorboards in the opening sequence, I was holding my breath and even freaked out when the Farmer gave up their hiding place. The only thing I was disappointed about was the fact that a few of the best moments from the script weren't actually included in the movie. Like when Shoshana pees herself at the cafe table or when . It was also refreshing to see a script where for once someone wrote naturally and wasn't relying on spell check.. It's more raw and real that way, plus it gives me some good laughs to know I have slightly better English skills than an amazing director I look up to. Did anyone else feel as though one of the primary characters (Hans Landa) changed motivation for seemingly no reason? How can one go from being a feared ? Such an epic villain to have simply surrender! JJay. J (7 out of 1. I first read the script, then saw the movie. The audience laughed a lot, surprising me since the tone of much of the written script was dark suspense. Thankfully, Tarantino's previous reliance on gore to carry a movie has been (somewhat) replaced with both suspense (and more humor). Tapthecati is right. Landa's transformation fell short of the mark. Sure.. he lets Shoshanna escape in the beginning creating sympathy, but then he brutally strangles Bridget just before the LET'S MAKE A DEAL scene. True to a cynic's behavior/character perhaps, but one wonders why he wouldn't just bring Bridget along as extra insurance to broker his DEAL. Why kill her if he was planning an escape? Like a skip in a record, I felt I missed something there. It may fit into the rising tension of the scene sequence, but less so in the plot. Was it greed that blinds him? Or did he become his less gifted twin? I felt he deserved his end because he had become comical, not because he was evil. This clever, cold- blooded killer ends up a clumsy, gullible, innocent. PETER (1. 0 out of 1. Reading this script was like watching a film while I was reading, I saw pictures in my mind. There are errors . Big ups to you. goodguys. VSbadguys (9 out of 1. To tapthecacti, I think the fact that he switched sides so easily made him even more . This was a man so sadistic that it transcended all levels of morality and loyalty. If he was badass enough to screw Hitler over, I give him the crown. Kevin (1. 0 out of 1. Reading the script was interesting, because had I not seen the movie already, I don't think I would have picked up on a lot of the humorous situations. It makes me wonder if they were planned by Tarantino or improvised on set (I'm guessing a little of both). The 1. 0 Best Michael Fassbender Movies You Need To Watch « Taste of Cinema. Apart from being absolutely gorgeous, Michael Fassbender is one of the most talented actors of his generation. Born in Heidelberg, Germany, but raised in Killarney, Ireland, he had an early interest in film and acting. At age 1. 9, Fassbender moved to London to study at the Drama Centre London and later dropped out to tour with the Oxford Stage Company to perform the play Three Sisters. Before he became a world renowned actor he participated in several theatre plays and independent movies, including the stage version of Quentin Tarantino’s Reservoir Dogs, which he produced, directed and stared. His big break came in 2. Spartan warrior in Zack Snyder’s blockbuster 3. Steve Mc. Queen’s independent drama Hunger. The latter earned him the British Independent Film Award for his performance. A year after that, he played a secondary role as a German- British spy in Tarantino’s Inglorious Bastards and a handsome Irishman with a secret in Fishtank. Fassbender as he stared in three major productions: A Dangerous Method, X- Men: First Class and Shame, where he pared up again with director Steve Mc. Queen. Rumors say he would have been nominated for an Academy Award for his performance in Shame if it wasn’t for all the frontal nudity and explicit sex scenes. He was finally nominated for an Acadamy Award for best supporting actor in 2. Years a Slave; another collaboration with Steve Mc. Queen. Although not all Fassbender’s movies have been an amazing demonstration of his talent as an actor (like The Counselor and Jonah Hex), he’s a chameleon and manages to play tremendously different, challenging and complex characters. As The Guardian says, “He is the actor every project thinks of – good- looking, smart and adventurous”. Zack Snyder and based on Frank Miller’s comic, is the story of the Battle of Thermopylae that happened in 4. B. C. It was a battle within the Greco- Persian war that lasted three days and took place in the constricted passage of Thermopylae. In this movie Fassbender plays the role of Stelios, a Spartan warrior who follows Leonidas (Gerard Butler) to Thermopylae, where they will encounter the powerful Persian army, led by Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro). Stelios is portrayed as a brave Spartan warrior who seeks “the beautiful death”, death by a worthy adversary in a glorious war, where the names of the brave soldiers who fought in it would be heard for centuries. As he and a couple of soldiers sneak up on the Persian army and discover how powerful it actually is, Stelios can’t do anything else but smile, he knows that this is his chance to die a beautiful death. Fassbender’s part in the movie explains perfectly what the Spartan warrior ethics was all about. The fighting sequences are also amazing and all the guys get a round of applause for their performance and physical skills. Jane Eyre (2. 01. Jane Eyre, directed by Cary Fukunaga, is an adaptation of Charlotte Bront. It tells the story of Jane Eyre (Mia Wasikowska), an orphan girl who was sent away to live in Lowood, a school for girls, at the request of her wretched aunt, Sarah Reed (Sally Hawkins). After several years of strict disciplining Jane leaves Lowood and finds a job as a governess at Thornfield hall with the help of Alice Fairfax (Judy Dench). There, she will have her first encounter and relationship with a man, Mr Edward Rochester, owner of the old (and kind of haunted) manor. Fassbender plays the role of Edward Rochester; the cold master of the Thornfield mansion where Jane Eyre is governess to Adele Varens (Romy Settbon Moore), a young orphan French girl. Their relationship starts out roughly when Jane startles Mr Rochester’s horse that falls on top of his leg spraining his ankle. But Jane intrigues Mr Rochester, who tries to understand her, asking about her “tale of woe”. The relationship between both characters becomes more intense as both hide secrets from one another which are hard to ignore. Fassbender shows how his character evolves throughout the movie, peeling away the layers of anger and coldness that hide his insecurities and doubts as his relationship with Jane evolves. By the end of the movie Mr. Rochester is stripped from all his secrets, no longer a harsh master, and totally head over heels for Jane Eyre. X Men: First Class (2. This blockbuster, directed by Matthew Vaughn, is the fifth movie of the X- Men saga and serves as a prequel to the franchise. It tells the story of Charles Xavier (James Mc. Avoy) and Erik Lensherr (Michael Fassbender) before they come to be Professor X and Magneto, respectively. Set in the middle of the Cuban missile crisis, Erik, a Jewish mutant who can manipulate and generate electromagnetic fields, seeks to avenge his mother’s assassination and goes after the man who murdered her, Dr. Klaus Schmidt (Kevin Bacon), a German SS scientist. Schmidt, a mutant himself, is on a mission to destroy humankind and Charles Xavier, with the help of the CIA, is determined to stop him. Xavier and Erik meet in a failed attempt to stop Schmidt and become friends. They start recruiting a group of teenage mutants to help them in the mission to stop Schmidt but the philosophical differences between Xavier and Erik grow to be too big and once Dr. Schmidt is out of the picture, Erik, now as Magneto, will take his place. Fassbender and Mc. Avoy deliver an amazing performance as they portray Professor X and the vengeful young Magneto. The relationship between Professor X and Magneto gives the movie a dynamic tension and constantly makes us question human nature. Where Professor X sees goodness in humans, Magneto sees fear and destruction and Fassbender’s performance reminds us that this sentiment is rooted deeply in the life of Magneto; not only mutant but also a survivor of the Nazi concentration camps. As we are reminded of this we see in Magneto not only anger, but pain, which makes him a relatable and multidimensional character. This movie gives a fresh perspective on one of the most influential characters of the X- men franchise. Thanks to Fassbender’s performance we get to know a side of Magneto never seen before. Inglourious Basterds (2. Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds is a twisted tale set in a fictional Nazi Germany that tells the story of two plots to assassinate Hitler and his followers, including “The Jew Hunter” SD Standartenf. One plot is planned by a young French Jewish cinema proprietor (played by Melanie Laurent), and the other by a team of Jewish- American soldiers led by First Lieutenant Aldo Raine (played by Brad Pitt). Both plans involve locking the Nazi’s up in a cinema while their watching a German war movie and killing them. Fassbender plays the part of a British spy and film critic, Lt Archie Hicox, who is recruited by the Basterds to help them carry out “Operation Kino”. When planning the heist in a bar full of German Nazi soldiers, he ends up giving himself away, causing a huge shoot out that leaves everybody dead but Miss Bridget von Hammersmark (played by Diane Kruger), a German movie star that was also recruited for the operation. Luckily Aldo and Bridget manage to get away. In the end, the “good guys” win and history is rewritten by Tarantino and his amazing cast of actors. Even though Fassbender’s participation in the movie is brief, his performance is memorable. From the minute he appears in the movie to the minute he’s killed off, he keeps it cool. The rendez- vous scene is probably one of the tensest and dramatic scenes of the movie, when an SS Officer surprises the crew and Archie blows their cover. Archie and the Officer sustain a long conversation that feels more like a pistol duel. Fassbender’s smooth performance really maintains the atmosphere of suspense and excitement and his poker face makes the audience hope that he and the others get out of there alive. Prometheus (2. 01. In Ridley Scott’s prequel to Alien, Prometheus, Fassbender plays the role of David, an android that travels with a space crew to an unknown planet to “meet their makers” only to discover a threat that could cause the extinction of the human race. Although the movie leaves much to be desired, there is no doubt that Fassbender’s participation in it is not only amazing but probably one of the best elements in the movie; he definitely steals the show. Out of all the characters the one with most depth and complexity is clearly David, an android that looks exactly like a human being (so he doesn’t freak out the crew) and has a tremendous awareness of himself and his functions on board the spaceship. David, a dark and undecipherable character from the beginning, starts showing his true intentions when they reach their destiny, where he seeks a way to use the planet’s threats to exterminate the crew. David’s robotic personality and later take of consciousness of himself is portrayed perfectly by Fassbender. Only Fassbender, with his unique charisma and over the top acting skills, is able to act as a soulless android with a huge ego.
