Inglourious Basterds

What's a Spaghetti Western? A Spaghetti Western is a term American critics  use because most of these western films where created by Italians. Why would Tarantino use this genre for a World War II movie? Spaghetti Western used to be used by critics for European Westerns as they were inferior to American Westerns. These films used to be very low budget. Tarantino used this genre because he is a big fan of Sergio Leone who was one of the best Spaghetti Western filmmakers. Tarantino said he was very influenced by his work. Tarantino said in an interview that he wanted to stay away from all the war movie clichés. List three ways Tarantino subverts the audience's expectations? since the Movie is set in WWII where Nazis where killing Jews Tarantino subverts it by having a group of Jews killing mass numbers of Nazis and he even has the Jews terrorize the Nazis by scalping them and cutting swastikas on there forehead. The second subvert is Small Group Killings. In Most WWII movies there are large armies fighting against each other but Tarantino uses a small group that can strike fear in the larger Nazi groups by what they do to the Nazis when they are caught. In Most films that have suicide bombers are usually terrorists but Tarantino subverts this by using Americans as the suicide bombers.
