Inglourious Basterds

Nation's Pride (film within a film) intertextual references to Battleship Potentia

Saving Private Ryan- D day scene used as a contrast to Inglourious Basterds

Saving Private Ryan 
REALISTICALLY GRAPHIC

Allies VS German
Death
Continuous Chaos
Men look dirty, dishevelled/unwashed/unshaven
Handheld editing
Realistic
Death means something- the shock of death is apparent to the men
Just Allies perspective
Fear/terror of death
Audience point of view- feel as if we are in the film
Death is common and a part of the job

Inglourious Basterds
COMICALLY GRAPHIC

Allies VS German
Death
Very clean and pristine
Static shots
Death just happens
Hypereal
Both perspectives are presented
More tactical
No fear of death
As an audience we are kept at an ironic distance
Death is common and part of the job
