Inglorious Bastards

 One meta-aspect that I identified in the film is the scene with Emmanuelle Mimiuex and Fredrick Zoller standing outside the movie theater. Zoller starts his conversation with Mimiuex by asking her about the films that she features at her movie theater. She vaguely responds to his questions but agrees with him about liking the german filmmaker, director Pabst, without even saying anything. This is an example of meta-film because these two characters are talking about films as well as a director who creates films while being in a film. Another meta-aspect that I identified is the scene with Colonel Hans Landa and Mimiuex who were eating dessert together and started talking about Film. Colonel Landa asked Mimiuex if there was a “negro” working at her cinema and she said yes. Mimiuex went on saying that his name is Marcel and he is a projectionist who has been working with her for a long time ever since her aunt and uncle died. Colonel Landa did not care about what a projectionist was and asked Minmieux to work it if he ever came to the cinema. This is also an example of meta-film because these two characters talked about film and the history of her cinema. A third meta-aspect that I identified is the scene where “The Bastards” and Nazis are in the cinema fighting against each other. In one part of the cinema, a film is playing and people are relaxed while in another part, a lot of action and chaos is going on. This is an example of meta-film because this film is being filmed in a cinema where films are played. The entire film is centered around the idea of filmmaking and meta-film is a style that is seen throughout. This film also seems like it has been made into a comedy sort of even though this takes place during a horrific time period.
