This guy..... I wonder what movies he likes, maybe he would sit down on his couch after a long day and watch something like dawsons creek, or maybe a movie about "good soldiers" not like lt.

I hate it when people hate Tarantino's violence and grit simply because they don't understand it! It's highly fictional and deliberately over the top. If you can't see that, then it is truly YOU who is the idiot.

Wow, watching movies like this is worse than being a Nazi. So, what the Nazis did was obviously rather mild compared to what you're doing. What do you think people like that do all day? That is hilarious. I feel a little sorry, but not that much. Also feel a little sorry for people who don't really 'get' what QT is doing. His knowledge of film is so so profound, more than I reckon even some in the actual business, that his subtle winks and nudges to certain genres and distorted cinematic set-ups go over a lot of people's heads. Oh what the hell, how can you not be excited at someone who gets so excited over an art form he truly loves?

Well,as many people with extraordinary talents could be, controversial, and so goes Mr. Tarantino with superb narrative and creative skills..like Mr. Tarantino himself, his works could only be appreciated by people with vivid imagination, great sense of humour,appreciation for different cultures, young at heart, open-mindedness, certain level of intelligence, in other words, not suitable for the dull minded..or hypocrites.. If someone is not enjoying his movie, all I can say is, "That's too bad, what a shame.."
There's nothing wrong with his latest film, "The Inglourious Basterds", this is another masterpiece by the great director, and myself and my family had already saw it in the theatre 3 times and still craving to see few more times..I am sure that many of the movie audiences world wide would agree that Mr. Tarantion is one of the most masterful, great story-teller of our time, and I feel honoured to be living in his era. It is about time that Mr. Tarantino should get his Oscar for the Best Director, and Oscar should also goes to Mr.Christoph Waltz for "Best Actor" and additional Oscar should be created for "Best Ensemble Actors $ Actress" for all their power house performances-personally I found all German and British actors charming..
Anyway Mr. Tarantino, you are a Maestro, and you should be showered with honours. We love you, Bravo!

Wow, really? I have so many things I would like to say, but don't even know where to start.
Worse than Nazis? Maybe I went to a bad school and read books of lies but I thought the Nazis killed thousands of innocent people. The people running this site and Tarantino haven't killed anyone, so I think the author's morals are a bit backwards and that person may need to look into psychiatric help themselves. Yikes.

But aside from that unintelligent statement made by said author, let's delve into some common sense. If one is offended by violence, why would they pay to watch a movie that is clearly based on violence? Are they so terribly bored that they SEEK things to complain about? I am not into gay porn, but I don't watch it then find a website to bitch to and say how horrible the people are who make it and promote it. That's flat ignorant.

And let's not forget that these are MOVIES, strictly for entertainment purposes, therefore, the projecting of any sadistic and psychotic ideas by Tarantino are just that: Ideas. I can use my imagination within my brain and come up with all sorts of ideas that may not fall within my own moral code, but it doesn't mean I would ever ACT upon them. But like Mr. Tarantino, I am highly capable of thinking without limits. My only hinderance being lack of interest in becoming a filmmaker. Crap, maybe I, too, am psychotic........

And my last comment, but most certainly NOT the least of importance being this: I feel very deeply for the writer of the hate mail comment. It seems to me that person has lived a very sheltered life up until their viewing of this movie. "Do you notice that so often in Quentins movies the 'good' guys take some pleasue in revenge, or laugh at someones pain or misfortune ?
This is not what a good soldier, hero, or ordinary person ever does."
Wow, has the author ever MET another human being in their entire life? People are sick. Watch the news. People are the most horrible creatures on the planet because they have the brains and the means to do horrible things. Even the best of us get caught in seeking vengance. Watch someone run over your dog, rape your child or stab your grandmother and tell me the best, most religious person will walk away feeling no urge to show that person the same kind of pain and suffering. Revenge is an emotion, emotions are basic human factors. Look it up.

To the people who run this site, I thank you. I have a deep respect for Tarantino's incredible intelligence and filmmaking genius.

Listen, on the off chance that you read this site Quentin, please can you just tell people the difference between real-life violence and cinematic violence, poetic licence etc etc. I THINK some people think of Reservoir Dogs as simply a bunch of guys looking cool and cursing a lot, that Pulp Fiction was 3 funny stories with cartoonish violence and all very clever, etc etc and that Inglourious was using WW2 as an excuse to be violent (except it's not actually, cos most of it is taken up with your great dialogue). Oh i know it's all subjective and that's the beauty of art but some people just don't GET IT! Rant over.

Wouldn't it be fun to ask QT to make the inglourious basterds 2 where american soldiers of palestinian ancestory kill while laughing zionist jews by the thousand? Maybe the american soldiers can gass those zionist jews alongside with Nethanyahu and other "topbrass" whilst the poor bastards are watching a humorous movie or theatre piece.

Bad taste? Well it is only moviestuff folks. Should be fun and people will leave the cinema with a good feeling afterwards. Because the everlasting conflict in the Middle-East region is finally ended after american heroism. Fantastic. An american happy ending again and democracy restored.

In this sequential the palestinian people of today will finally have the change to feel good, because the bad guys are slaughtered by the good guys. Strange argument? No. This analogy argument was used to make inglourios basterds 1, read the haaretz-interview with QT; the jewish victims never had the opportunity to slaughter their german opponents, but in Inglourios Basterds 1 they can.

This sequential movie has to be financed, produced and distributed worldwide by arabian controlled companies. This would be fun, wouldn't it? Contempary jewish victimhood is substituted by a palestian one. This innovation for Holy Wood will maybe end the american "sieger" focus on the Second WorldWar and the Holocaust and production of related movies.

Antisemitic? No, both groups are of semitic origin only the faith is different.

By the way; the win over 3rd reich must greatly be contributed to the Soviet Union. The rate of Russian destruction was far greater than the rate of German creation. Never ever mentioned in american warmovies.

As is normal for a Tarantino movie I just loved the satirical spoof of Inglourious Basterds but would someone explain the reason for spelling of the title.

I find it funny that this person hates Tarantino yet seems to watch Tarantino films when they come out, you know that they come out to see them just to complain and gripe about them. This person, who probably has ovaries and may be biased for the military, just loves the drama. If inglorious bastards was really such a waste of time, why do they make it their business to go out against Tarantino fans and waste their time with us as if we'll all go out and say "you are so right disgruntled movie goer. How blind we all were to Tarantino's blatant disregard for fictional characters and distortion of unreallistic people." I say psha to them.
And I would just love to have this person go to Eli Roth and Sam Levine and tell them that Tarantino and all his fans are worse than that genecidal freak Hitler, and that them for being part of this movie, makes them worse than Nazis.

I am really disgusted with this person. How about you ask a Holocaust survivor if they think Quentin Tarantino is worse then the Nazis. I've been studying WW2 and the Nazis for High-school and hearing a holocaust survivor speak was so powerful and insightful. Nazi isn't a word that should be used lightly, they systematically murdered millions of people just because they were different just because that the Nazis thought they were inferior.
You sicken me to my very core, if you don't like the violence or the dialogue or whatever in tarantino's films that fine, thats your opinion and your entitled to it but how dare you cheapen an entire group of peoples suffering by comparing QT to the Nazi.

Films are entertainment.

At one point the post referes to the "good" guys taking pleasure in revenge and misfortune, well i am just wondering what good guys Tarantino generally makes films following the stories of criminals eg.
Reservoir Dogs: a group of armed robbers
Kill Bill volumes 1 and 2: An assasin out for revenge
Pulp fiction follws many different stories and people none of who ever perform an act of goodness (with the possible exception of Julius)

This person just does not seem to see the context with which they are writing may WW2 films show as much if not more violence in an exteemly realistic manner "Saving Private Ryan" for example or maybe they hate Steven Spielberg too and as for the dialogue i personally believe that Inglorious Basterds was one of the best written films I have had the pleasure of sitting through for years the film kept me gripped from beginning to end.
But i suppose this guy is entitled to his own oppinion, and so is the Academy lets just wait until March rolls around and see what the official verdic is.

He has given us films that will last beyond us, and that is a great thing. I haven't watched a movie of his yet that I hated. Not to mention a film he directed I hated. To put it simply he is amazing, and the male version I would love to live to be.

For me I like a number of QT's flicks as well as a few of his favorite B movies. But not all. I like the story of inglorious basterds, but for some reason it did not feel like his best work. Now dont blast me for saying that. Its just my opinion, but it felt like it was a bit rushed out from from filming to release. Im hoping the dvd paints a different picture for me.
Not every film can be as great as the last, but QT always stays true to his form and I admire that. I hope he keeps making great movies, because no matter what Ill be there on opening night to see it.

QT did go too far with the collective condemnation and generalizations made against the German side in this film. Saying that any German in a uniform deserved to get scalped or his head smashed in is a bit harsh.

Obviously QT is no history buff and the film has many historical inaccuracies. I think directors like him should be kept away from major issues like WW2. He completely messed up French Holocaust history.

QT is a nerd that has a talent for writing scripts, but he is a nerd that didn't bother doing research for this film - a lazy nerd. Someone that believes his imagination is all he needs to make a great movie, even if the story is set within an important world event.

Inglourious Basterds could have been much better, with much more social relevance, as well as much more plausible if only QT took a few minutes during the ten years he worked on the script do some research.

I, for one, have been a fan since seeing Reservoir Dogs in a crappy theater in Florida. I have all of his films except Death Proof ('cause I'm still holding out hope that a theatrical version of Grindhouse will still be released). Keep 'em coming, QT! Looking forward to the next one!

The so called "hate mail" letter has some good points, just poorly and over emotionally stated. I worry more about the hate expressed and the mental health of the people who responded. The movie is replete with gratuitous violence and people who feed off this are, indeed, unhealthy. From what I have read, the majority of responders wouldn't know the meaning of the word "gratuitous" or "replete" for that matter. If these semi literate people are a sampling of the Tarantino audience, then his so called "genius" quite clearly appeals to the lowest common denominator. Intelligent dialogue, containing words longer than four letters would obviously go over their heads.
