Leans Traditional
Primary
The film's central conflict against Nazi tyranny is universally condemned, and while its solution involves radical, extrajudicial violence and historical revisionism, these methods primarily serve as a stylized, cathartic fantasy of retribution rather than explicitly promoting a specific left or right political ideology.
The film features primarily traditional casting, with no explicit race or gender swaps of roles. Its narrative does not present a general critique of traditional identities, instead focusing on a specific historical conflict where both heroes and villains largely share those characteristics.
Secondary
The film portrays Jewish characters as victims of horrific persecution, whose quest for violent retribution against their Nazi oppressors is framed as righteous and justified. The narrative strongly condemns antisemitism and positions the audience to sympathize with the Jewish characters, affirming their dignity and resilience in the face of genocide.
Inglourious Basterds does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative is solely centered on World War II events, resistance, and personal vengeance against the Nazi regime, without incorporating any queer representation.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
Inglourious Basterds is an original screenplay by Quentin Tarantino. Its characters, both fictional and historical, maintain their established genders without any instances of a character canonically or historically established as one gender being portrayed as another.
