Academy Award winning Quentin Tarantino has worked nearly ten years to bring "Inglourious Basterds" to life, the movie is set during World War II and stars Brad Pitt, as Lieutenant1 Aldo Raine, the head of a group of Jewish-American soldiers, seeking brutal2 retribution against Nazi3 soldiers. Take a look.
"My name is Lt. Aldo Raine, and I'm putting together a special team, and I need me eight soldiers, Eight-Jewish-American-Soldiers. Now your all might have heard rumors4 about the armada happening soon. Well, we'll be leaving a little earlier. We're gonna be dropped into France, dressed as civilians5. Once we are in /an/ enemy territory, as a bushwhacking guerrilla army, we are gonna be doing one thing, and one thing only--killing Nazis6."
Quentin Tarantino, good morning. (Good morning, Ann.) Man, that accent just kills me every time I hear it.
Yeah, heavily poetry. That's it.
I mean he talks like that even when he wasn't shooting.
Oh, yeah, he actually really dug the character. So, any time he was anywhere near the camera within spitting distance, he was always Aldo. And it was great for me because, you know, I created Aldo. It was in my mind for a long time. So that was like a chance actually to get to know what / my character is. / I asked
Brad a question, Aldo more or less answered it.
In fact, you've been working on this for ten years. This has been, in fact, if I'm not mistaken, you were in a video store, you used to work in a video store? (Yeah, yeah.) Somebody said because there was a movie at that time, it was out by the same name, spelled differently. Somebody said you are gonna make you own movie by this title.
Yeah, there is...there's like this chippy Italian movie called "Inglorious Bastards7". We always really got a kick out of it. And we just thought that was the best name for a bunch of guys on a mission war movie. So whenever I talked about doing one, that will be "Inglourious Basterds".
Because they knew, somebody knew, somebody said you are gonna make this great movie, for ten years, you've nursed it. You struggled for this. So is it fair to say that this one is sort of more personal than (any other)? this baby is yours.
Well, you know, it's...well, they are all really, really personal. But this one has the longest history of gestation8, all right, For the incubator, the longest, that's for sure.
And then you created a whole new genre9. I mean, this is a, it's a World War II movie, but it's also a spaghetti western. And it's also a Jewish revenge fantasy. I mean, it's...where did you get the confidence...have the guts10 to make this kind of a movie.
Oh, well, you know what I mean, it's funny. It's just, you know, it's just the way it comes out to me. You know, when I start writing the story, you know I have an idea where I am gonna go with it, but I don't really know until the characters lead the way. And I tell the story. So it's like the humour that shows up in it, all that just kind of comes out in the telling of the scenario11.
There's something really quite delicious about seeing the Nazi war machine tremble. You make the Nazi war machine tremble.
No, no, that's part of the fun of it. I mean, one of the things about the Basterds, being Jewish-American soldiers is doing it in a patchy resistance which is more about even getting in the brain and the minds of the enemies. It's not about the seven guys that they ambush12. It's about a hundred guys that will find those guys.
And because there are some scalpings involved.
There're definitely scalping involved. And there's……
I don't mean selling concert tickets illegally. All right? That's right.
So that's it, this is not a movie for children. But it is a movie that is really a popcorn13. I mean, it's just one of those 'get to the end and it really pays great homage14 to film in general.
No, there's a definite love of cinema that is involved. But that's involved in all my movies. I can't help it. I remember when I was writing the script, and I have this section between the French lead girl in the movie who is having a conversation with a Nazi soldier and they are comparing Chaplin vs. Max Linder. Alright, and when I finish the scene, I was like, okay, I go to write my World War II movie, but it becomes a love letter to cinema. I just can't get away from it.
It's really true. And this is really a love letter in many ways. I know we are out of time, but I just have to say that Christoph Waltz was stunningly15 good. He won an award at...
Yeah, he won the Best Actor at the Cannes Film Festival.
I can't even go... Melanie Laurent was fantastic. Diane Kruger, Eli Roth, oh my god. Mike Myers.
The Bear Jew. You were like into him. I like that big guy.
I am totally into him. Anyway, Quentin Tarantino, good luck with the film and thank you so much.
Thanks, honey.
Such a great pleasure. I've got to be called honey by Quentin Tarantino. Anyway, "Inglourious Basterds" opens nationwide next Friday, August 21st.
