Daily Dialogue — May 5, 2018
“Who wants to send a message to Germany?”
— Inglourious Basterds (2009), written by Quentin Tarantino
The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Movie Within a Movie.
Trivia: Eli Roth directed the film-within-the-film, “Nation’s Pride”. Quentin Tarantino asked Roth to direct the short, and Roth requested his brother Gabriel Roth join him to direct behind a second camera, to which Tarantino agreed. In two days, the brothers got one hundred thirty camera set-ups, and Tarantino was so pleased, he gave Roth a third day that he was originally planning to shoot with Daniel Brühl. Roth got fifty more set-ups the third day, much to Tarantino’s delight. The total running time of the short is five minutes and thirty seconds, and was always intended to feel like pieces of a longer film, not a coherent short.
Dialogue On Dialogue: This line is right before Shoshanna starts the process of raining down retribution on the Nazis.
