"There are times when even a story going right I bow to the left" - Q. Tarantino
around the corner, down the street from the losers, all downhill, after passing a river of tears will find the house of blues. There
spend the nights in the company of Johnny Walker, who is my best friend because it is another failure like me, or even worse, because he has walked 190 years and never seen him go anywhere, always there waiting for me after the bar.
And no, I think that when I spend enough time with him, everything is less important, I do not care that utopias have wings and fly, or have disappointed all those who know me, or be ugly on the outside and inside.
And then singing until my throat explodes, and bad girls kiss, I reach for my dignity under a skirt and break the glass of the mirrors of the tiger because I do not like the guy who lives inside.
And sometimes like the other day I fall and lose my keys and phone, and do not know where I am, and I think I'm dreaming, but it is not so, because in my dreams you always come out that day and were not anywhere, and then someone comes and picks me up, saves me from hitting bottom, I returned the wallet and keys, I put on land, it helps me sit down. And he says
- Joder macho, and you look like a noisemaker ...
And we talked a while, laugh, and I feel comfortable with strangers because I have not yet had time to disappoint. Give me an album of his group, well sealed, pure, and I look at the name, and say
- Fuck me ... if you call ...

Marcellus Wallace, like Ving Rhames character in Pulp Fiction. And in my state
think the film has been my savior, which is a sign from God (thought rare for an atheist) and I owe an article on the blog Tarantino and my new friends a little promotion.
promotion already, so ...
Inglourious Basterds (2009) Quentin Tarantino
I'm not going to cheat, Inglourious Basterds, or Basterd no glory (yes, with e), it seems a fucking masterpiece of cinema. The best movie this year, and so I am pleased that I write this is known to have been nominated in four categories of the Golden Globes. If it was for me would give all the awards possible.
Does that make me another Tarantiniana ball court? Surely
.
But first I must clarify that in many occasions I have expressed my distaste for the strange phenomenon that created the two volumes of Kill Bill, representative of what bothers me most Standard fan Quentin Tarantino.
me explain ...
not say this because plagiarism / honors a lot of movies in these two films, but because many applaud this work, a love song to the movies Grindhouse and B series, the Exploitation, the spaghetti western and then chambara neglecting to follow the same pedantez's always the same gender, they say, lower.
A sample, the celebrated scene in which the bride says Vernita's daughter, "If when you grow even resent me for it ... I'll be waiting "after killing his mother before him, is taken from The Punisher (The Punisher, 1989) version of the Cannon Group with Dolph Lundgren, in particular the time this settles the gangster Gianni Franco in front of his son.
The same can be said that fight against a bunch of samurai with a color filter azulete. However, most of the public to follow any film by Mark Goldblatt, and then applaud an author who has made the claim of the subgenera flag.
The Punisher (1989) vs Kill Bill (2003) respectively
always Tarantino films have built their second supposedly materials. Either Pulp Fiction, a recreation of a universe out of those cheap pulp novels that had put yellow and bizarre stories far removed from serious literature, Reservoir Dogs (idem, 1992), unacknowledged remake of City on Fire (Lung fu fong wan, 1987) Ringo Lam (which certainly went a couple of movies Van Damme) and Death Proof (idem, 2007), a daring mix between the giallo and the road movie with zero limit point (Vanishing Point, 1971) as a reference during the second half.
And although the film takes us there are echoes of prestige productions as The Man trapped (Man Hunt, 1941) o Hangmen Also Die (Hangmen Also Die!, 1943) it is not unusual to shoot his first movie called "war, the iconoclastic director of Tennessee has taken direct inspiration That damned armored train (Quel treno maledetto blindato, 1978; called Inglorious Bastards in the USA) by Enzo G. Castellari, a specialist in Italian Exploitation. Or at least that was what was sold during the preproduction of the film, because the end result, only shares the title with entertaining film starring Fred Williamson (who appeared in From Dusk Till Dawn) and Bo Svenson (with a cameo in Kill Bill vol2).
Then this the misleading promotional campaign that sold us shooting after shooting, which at the time I could not believe it except the action scenes from Kill Bill vol1 (the work of Yuen Woo-ping) Quentin Tarantino's films has never been noted for action but to create suspense through the verb, and verb Inglourious Basterds is, a lot because it is full of some great dialogue full of irony and friquismo, but above all a sense of humor.
conceived only way that Brad Pitt and voice imitating Marlon Brando's chin also dare to dress like Vito Corleone Italian broken at the end of the film and then miss a carnation to be caught by a group of Nazis like in The Godfather (The Godfather, 1972). Or that his character is called Aldo Raine, the actor Aldo Ray, and has the neck marked with the scar of a rope as Clint Eastwood made two errors (Hang'em High, 1967).
nod to Western latter is very consistent, because the bastards well could pass for a group of Apaches, given their penchant for cutting the hair of their victims.
addition the soundtrack is saturated with themes of spaghetti westerns, not to mention the gadgets Donnie and Omar at the end of the tape mismÃsmo own Sabata and start referring to Once Upon hour (C'era una volta il West, 1968) and The Searchers (The Searchers, 1956).
It is precisely the first scene of Farm Christoph Waltz give life of Hans Landa impeccable form that makes the tone for the rest of chapters that divide the story, long conversations, while the elastic band of thriller stretched to breaking, and thus exploited.
Then there is the group of bastards, a compendium of fricazos, where the director mocks squads stray bullets that appeared in The Devil's Brigade (The Devil's Brigade, 1968) or The Dirty Dozen (The Dirty Dozen, 1967). Where those types showed a strong and bragados, Tarantino recruits a little characters as Utivich (aka the man) and Omar fled appears Revenge of the Nerds (Revenge of the Nerds, 1984); to a golem Jew, Donny, with a penchant for hitting head and a nazi scab, a reference to Harmstorf Raimund character in "That Madit armored train," named Hugo Stiglitz, the actor of the same name.
and joined late Hicox, film critic before the war, alluding very clear to Graham Greene.
As I said before each scene / chapter operates independently and together create a whole outstanding. Dance between comedy, Exploitation and recycling pop culture. That
Hitler with the appearance of Bugs Bunny cartoons, the fictional movie projected on film (The pride of the nation, kartoffel back Back to Hell, To Hell and Back, 1955), and the joke that portrays the Nazi extravagance, such as pipe size and Landa exaggerated boot-shaped glass to drink beer in the SS officer in the tavern, all rogues and exaggerated details complete with notes cults like the poster in the cinema "The sting of bitter tears" of actress Zarah Lean which said it was a spy as von Hammersmark is Bridget (Diane Kruger) in the film.
could spend all day talking about the events that punctuate the film, but the best is that they are all very well integrated into a story that works great as long as one knows into his game, as the moment of Landa and Raine in the forest with a background as in "Miller's Crossing" (Miller's Crossing, 1990) which in turn was "The Third Man" (The Third Man, 1949), perfectly embedded in history.
Tarantino begins to accept himself more and keep less appearances because Inglourious Basterds is sincere and consistent, no alibi, is a great while Africa is beautifully done at the technical level, but without the artificial gravity and artificial Kill bill vol2, providing enjoyable this time the shamelessness that emanated European Exploitation films, they were able to engulf anything that was fashionable, as did Enzo G Castelari, which supported his entire career in exploiting the slipstream of the success of others, only Tarantino appointment phagocytes and honor the texture and the attitude of those and the citing authors, and also builds a film personality and identity.
already hit many as he wanted in a mixture as risky.
