"Inglourious Basterds" director Quentin Tarantino in a supporting role in his first film, 1992's "Reservoir Dogs." Like "Basterds" the film was entirely apolitical.
Last night’s Red Eye discussed how Hollywood films like to use certain kinds of villains over others. Host Greg Gutfeld has a beef with the new “Rambo,” “GI Joe,” and Quentin Tarantino’s “Inglourious Basterds.”
According to Gutfeld:
“These three films have two things in common. They avoid present real danger in the world and choose villains that are not just safe but politically correct to hate.”
On some level this is true. The film industry, like any other business, generally wants to appeal to the largest audience possible. Picking “safe” enemies is one way to do that. As far as the new “Rambo” film, Stallone is just playing it safe because he must. He does not have much of a career left — just let it slide, Greg. As for the monumentally crappy “GI Joe,” let’s not even get into that can of worms.
Gutfeld continues:
