The film and its ideology is dissected by a range of scholars and writers who take on the director's manipulation of metacinema, Nazisploitation, ethnic stereotyping, gender roles, allohistoricism, geopolitics, philosophy, language, and memory. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this collection, the eroticism of the club-swinging and avenging \"Bear Jew,\" the dashed heroism of the \"role-playing\" French and German females, the patriotic fools and pawns, the amoral yokel, Lieutenant Aldo Raine, and the cosmopolitan, but psychopathic Colonel Landa, are understood for their true functions in what has become an iconoclastic pop-culture phenomenon and one of the classics of early twenty-first century American cinema. Additionally, the book examines the use of \"foreign\" languages (subverting English and image), the allegory of Austria's identity in the war, and the particularly French and German cinematic influences, such as R. W. Fassbinder's realignment of the German woman's film and the iconic image of the German film star in \u003ci\u003eInglourious Basterds\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Von Dassanowsky\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1441138218\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781441138217\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/28\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.60w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2013","brand":"Robert Von Dassanowsky","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44716400050431,"sku":"9781441138217","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e88021bd-2e6c-4ca7-bed5-4a4c963ce315.jpg?v=1705682179","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/quentin-tarantinos-inglourious-basterds-robert-von-dassanowsky-9781441138217","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
