Who directed the film-within-a-film that served as a huge plot point in Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds?
Quentin Tarantino has established himself as an auteur of alternate renditions of historical events. His tendency to shift prominent historical moments takes audiences down the rabbit holes of “what if’s,” as the director’s perspective can send the history we know into a frenzy with simple changes.
While history revision in cinema is not a new thing by any means, Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds showcases the filmmaker’s storytelling talent as he juggles several stories perfectly and finds a balance between humor and terror in the context of WW II. The director further established his storytelling abilities through his direction, but not all of Inglourious Basterds was directed by Tarantino.
