| Inglorious Bastards |
|
The movie's name came to my attention since the latest Vogue issue. I thought it would be interesting, so I went to see it this afternoon with my family and it turned out to be a huge disappointment.It's bloody, unhumane, and ruthless. Many of the scenes are of low tastes...like taking people's scalps for trophies, those that any human eye will have hardship to perceive at the first view. After nearly three hours of killings, shootings, beatings, and burning a whole bunch of people (a circle of high ranks of Nazi's) in a movie theater in France, I've lost the track of the central theme of this movie. What is the purpose of making it? To show us: How brutal can the resistance be under the control of German Nazi? By displaying the urgly and brutal side of human angst, are we retaliating Nazi's crimes? Do these inglorious bastards make Nazi fear, is the resistence taking triump by their eye-for-eye actions? Perhaps all the above were in the film-maker's mind when producing the movie. But to my view, the result is the reverse. By killing or retaliating our enemies, we don't become better persons, instead we lower ourselves to their degree. And that's not what we as human beings, hope to see. I wish we could be sensible of being good and righteous about our actions, no matter what reasons are given. The only way to learn from our past mistakes (massacres, genocides) is to educate our country's youth to be kinder in heart, not more brutal.
