Inglourious Basterd Picspam - Chapter Five (Part the second)
This is the exact moment when you know that some people are going to die.
Hey, Harvey Keitel's vocal cameo that can't really be screencapped.
And while on the topic of such things, this movie, and this chapter in particular, has such drool-worthy cinematography. If it were possible to hit cinematography like the angry fist of a god, I'm fairly sure that I would hit several scenes in this movie in such a fashion. This scene would be included.
Now, I may not be a fan of Shosanna/Fredrick, and the start of this scene is probably the main reason why, but somehow, this scene always manages to make me choke up. Well, I say somehow, but I know exactly how. Damned emotionally manipulative use of Un Amico (as well as, you know, the death of my most beloved Basterd character who isn't Hellstrom, and the fact that the scene is just gorgeously shot).
Just because Omar needs some love, and the last cap contains a rather delightful spray of gore.
Hitler: Fabulous, my darling. Fabulous.
Goebbels: Danke, mein Fuhrer. Danke. *tears up*
Aww, Hitler/Goebbels FT... well, win sounds more than a little wrong... how about FTLOL's?
Fredrick (on screen): Who wants to send a message to Germany?
Shosanna (on screen): I have a message for Germany. That you are all going to die. And I want you to look deep into the face of the Jew who is going to do it. Marcel, burn it down.
Marcel: Oui, Shosanna. *flicks cigarette*
Cigarette: *takes its sweet time to fly through the air towards the nitrate film print*
Shosanna: My name is Shosanna Dreyfus, and this is the face of Jewish vengeance.
BEST. SCENE. EVER! Enough said.
I guess this would be the exact moment where history really goes one way, and Tarantino's characters go the other.
Shosanna Dreyfus. Returning for a brief moment from the grave to drag those Nazi fuckers back down with her. (I should really stop thinking of zombie!Basterds. I'm not even sure if zombies would make this movie even more awesome, because it's awesome enough as it is.)
Eli Roth looking entirely too excited to be in a Tarantino film - take ten bazillion.
And that, dear readers, is that. As it says in the screenplay, "Operation Kino was a success". Which, considering the amount of fail that happened in the lead-up, is a bit of a miracle.
Also, if I have learned one thing from movies, it's not an explosion until someone flies from a window. It's just how things are done.
So, what do we learn about Landa from these two caps? First, that he has a bit of a knife kink (which, along with the strangulation kink, isn't exactly helping my head canon, in which he is a bit of a kinky fucker), and second, he is all too willing to "hand himself over" to Raine. The kink pretty much writes itself, really.
Aww, poor Hermann number... I think this was the third Hermann, wasn't it?
And yes, I am immature enough to giggle at Hermann the German. *facepalm*
Raine: You know somethin', Utivich? I think this might just be my masterpiece.
You know somethin', blatant QT self-insert? I can only speak for myself here, but I think you may be right.
Also, gratuitous swastika-carving scene is gratuitous. And awesome.

Well, I hope that you enjoyed thm! :) Want, take, have, and if you use anything anywhere, you don't have to credit, I'm not all that fussed when it comes to that sort of thing. Thanks for reading and ogling.
