Inglourious Basterds by Quentin Tarantino (2009)

Inglourious Basterds (2009)

Brief summery:

  The movie is divided in 5 chapters. The first four is an introduction of the numerous characters such as the team of the Basterds, Shosanna, Colonel Landa and the “Bear Jew”. In the last chapter these storylines run together towards the end, in which the whole Nazi leadership is going to explode. The irony of the ending is that the audience knows it wasn't the historical way Hitler died.

Inglorious Bastards (1978)

Based on:
  It is a remake of the 1978 Italian comedy-drama war film Inglorious Bastards by Enzo G. Castellari. However, apart from the title the plot had been slightly changed as well. 

 Music:  

There are many soundtracks in the movie, however, especially significant is the one in a climactic scene. The lyrics start when we see the first image appears on screen and each line is synchronized with the change of shots. 

The song Cat People (Putting Out Fire) by David Bowie (who wrote the lyrics and sings the lead vocals as well) had been already used in the history of film.It was the theme music of the American remake of 1942 film 'Cat People' about a female were-cat (played by Nastassja Kinski) released in 1982.

Le Gamaare:

The cinema's name in the movie.
In India: A housewife's 25 young lover, Ganare. They both planned to take revenge on the husband and his family by stealing their money and then disappear. The police caught them before it happened.
 You can also read an article about the story on the website of Daily News & Analysis.
If it was the resource for the name, it can be in parallel with Shoshanna's love for Marcel and their revenge on the Nazis, and then Shoshanna's death by the German soldier who was in love with her.

What did the German think?

The Wave (2008)

It is interesting that just a year before Tarantino's remake, in 2008 a German movie was made concerning fascism, called Die Welle (The Wave) by director Dennis Gansel. The film expresses feeling about fascism, morals and the possibility of a dictatorship in the modern Germany. In the story a teacher tries to explain to his student what fascism is by brainwashing them and making them try it themselves. By the end of the week the soft emotions of connection between young people turn to a violent catastrophe.
