INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS Fits Perfectly into Quentin Tarantino’s Movie Universe and Influences His Entire Filmography

suicideblonde:

By now, most Quentin Tarantino fans are aware of the connections interlaced throughout all of his films. John Travolta’s Vincent Vega in Pulp Fiction is the brother of Michael Madsen’s Vic Vega in Reservoir Dogs, Harvey Keitel’s Mr. White worked with Alabama from True Romance, the plot basis for Kill Bill is described as the synopsis for a TV series in Pulp Fiction, etc.

Now the epiphany that Eli Roth’s character of Donny Donowitz aka “The Bear Jew” in Inglourious Basterds is the father of the movie producer Lee Donowitz in True Romance has inspired a truly mind-blowing theory that the rest of the films (chronologically speaking) in Tarantino’s filmography take place in a world where [Inglorious Basterds spoiler] World War II came to an end when Adolf Hitler was brutally murdered in a movie theater by the Basterds.

This initial connection was brought up in an article on Cracked, but a poster on Reddit (via David Chen’s Twitter) has more eloquently summed up what this means for Tarantino’s movieverse:

As it turns out, Donny Donowitz, ‘The Bear Jew’, is the father of movie producer Lee Donowitz from True Romance – which means that, in Tarantino’s universe, everybody grew up learning about how a bunch of commando Jews machine gunned Hitler to death in a burning movie theater, as opposed to quietly killing himself in a bunker. Because World War 2 ended in a movie theater, everybody lends greater significance to pop culture, hence why seemingly everybody has Abed-level knowledge of movies and TV. Likewise, because America won World War 2 in one concentrated act of hyperviolent slaughter, Americans as a whole are more desensitized to that sort of thing. Hence why Butch is unfazed by killing two people, Mr. White and Mr. Pink take a pragmatic approach to killing in their line of work, Esmerelda the cab driver is obsessed with death, etc. You can extrapolate this further when you realize that Tarantino’s movies are technically two universes – he’s gone on record as saying that Kill Bill and From Dusk ‘Til Dawn take place in a ‘movie movie universe’; that is, they’re movies that characters from the Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, True Romance, and Death Proof universe would go to see in theaters. (Kill Bill, after all, is basically Fox Force Five, right on down to Mia Wallace playing the title role.) What immediately springs to mind about Kill Bill and From Dusk ‘Til Dawn? That they’re crazy violent, even by Tarantino standards. These are the movies produced in a world where America’s crowning victory was locking a bunch of people in a movie theater and blowing it to bits – and keep in mind, Lee Donowitz, son of one of the people on the suicide mission to kill Hitler, is a very successful movie producer. Basically, it turns every Tarantino movie into alternate reality sci fi. I love it so hard.

I am a student doing research for my Final Year Dissertation. It would be a great help to me if you would take a moment to read and respond to the following message. Answers in my ask box. Please reblog. Thank you.

Crowd Funding is the latest tool in the independent filmmakers arsenal and it actually gives you, the end consumer, the power to see the movies you want to see get made.  

Imagine you had the chance to ensure that a film in your favourite genre got made and it would be all thanks to you by becoming a backer of the film. This is crowd funding. Your pledge in the film doesn’t offer you any financial return but instead you are given exclusive perks which are listed below.

These perks can range from a thank you to tickets to the premiere and the after party. Each perk has a different price range.

Now what I am trying to find out is what YOU as a consumer would be willing to give to ensure this film gets made. This questionnaire is hypothetical as no money will actually be taken. I am interested to see what the response is when the consumer has a real interest in the film, and also the age and gender of the backers as this will help with marketing.
Imagine this film is the film you’ve been waiting your whole life for and now finally someone wants to make it but they need your help.

Questionnaire:

Gender: Male/ Female

Your Age Range: 16 – 17 | 18 – 24 | 25 – 35 | 36 – 50 | 50+

From the options below please select the Perks Package you would be willing to give:

(Please only pick packages you could afford. This is to ensure the results are realistic.)

Package A:

£5 or more – A special Thank You Credit in the film

Package B:

£25 or more – All of the above + a Blu-Ray/ DVD copy of the Final Film

Package C:

£50 or more – All of the above + a Poster signed by Cast & Crew

Package D:

£250 or more – All of the above + a Walk on Part (or) Prop from the set

Package E:

£1000 or more – All of the above + Executive Producer Credit, a ticket to the premiere and the after show party with Cast and Crew

Package F:

Don’t back the project at all.

If Packages D and E were limited in quantity to 15 for D and 5 for E would this make you more inclined to pick one of these packages?
