INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS Fits Perfectly into Quentin Tarantino’s Movie Universe and Influences the Entire Filmography
By now, most Quentin Tarantino fans are aware of the connections interlaced throughout all of his films. John Travolta’s Vincent Vega in Pulp Fiction is the brother of Michael Madsen’s Vic Vega in Reservoir Dogs, Harvey Keitel’s Mr. White worked with Alabama from True Romance, the plot basis for Kill Bill is described as the synopsis for a TV series in Pulp Fiction, etc.
Now the epiphany that Eli Roth’s character of Donny Donowitz aka “The Bear Jew” in Inglourious Basterds is the father of the movie producer Lee Donowitz in True Romance has inspired a truly mind-blowing theory that the rest of the films (chronologically speaking) in Tarantino’s filmography take place in a world where [Inglorious Basterds spoiler] World War II came to an end when Adolf Hitler was brutally murdered in a movie theater by the Basterds.
This initial connection was brought up in an article on Cracked, but a poster on Reddit (via David Chen’s Twitter) has more eloquently summed up what this means for Tarantino’s movieverse:
As it turns out, Donny Donowitz, ‘The Bear Jew’, is the father of movie producer Lee Donowitz from True Romance – which means that, in Tarantino’s universe, everybody grew up learning about how a bunch of commando Jews machine gunned Hitler to death in a burning movie theater, as opposed to quietly killing himself in a bunker. Because World War 2 ended in a movie theater, everybody lends greater significance to pop culture, hence why seemingly everybody has Abed-level knowledge of movies and TV. Likewise, because America won World War 2 in one concentrated act of hyperviolent slaughter, Americans as a whole are more desensitized to that sort of thing. Hence why Butch is unfazed by killing two people, Mr. White and Mr. Pink take a pragmatic approach to killing in their line of work, Esmerelda the cab driver is obsessed with death, etc. You can extrapolate this further when you realize that Tarantino’s movies are technically two universes – he’s gone on record as saying that Kill Bill and From Dusk ‘Til Dawn take place in a ‘movie movie universe’; that is, they’re movies that characters from the Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, True Romance, and Death Proof universe would go to see in theaters. (Kill Bill, after all, is basically Fox Force Five, right on down to Mia Wallace playing the title role.) What immediately springs to mind about Kill Bill and From Dusk ‘Til Dawn? That they’re crazy violent, even by Tarantino standards. These are the movies produced in a world where America’s crowning victory was locking a bunch of people in a movie theater and blowing it to bits – and keep in mind, Lee Donowitz, son of one of the people on the suicide mission to kill Hitler, is a very successful movie producer. Basically, it turns every Tarantino movie into alternate reality sci fi. I love it so hard.
fuckkk.
This is pretty awesome.
Wow.
My mind hurts. This is crazy.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4uw9gSZmJ1qz9qooo1_500.jpg)

I think I have decided that I would be better off being a hermit for the rest of my life. Obviously I can’t handle human interaction.

“Ted Bundy told me things that he’s never told anybody before. Like he told me he killed more than 100 people … and not only women.” says Seattle’s attorney, John Henry Browne, an attorney for Bundy in the 70s. His new book will release never-before-heard details about one of America’s most notorious serial killers. Browne said Bundy also confided to him that he had killed a man. It was his “first” murder, according to Browne. “That’s never been known,” he said.
Before Bundy’s execution, he signed a release giving Browne the permission to publish the information about his secret confessions. When Browne was asked why he didn’t write these memoirs sooner, he replied with “It’s too creepy,” he said. “I didn’t want to visit those dark places again.” Browne bit the bullet and tackled the project. He admitted, “It really did depress me for six months,”
Browne said working on the book caused him to reassess his view of the killer. “I actually kind of got more scared of him after putting things together the last couple of years of writing about it,” he said.Browne stated that Bundy “chose” Browne by researching him online. “He knew where I lived, he knew what kind of clothes I had, he knew what kind of cars I had,” said Browne. The attorney was also chilled by the fact that a woman he was dating in law school was murdered, and the same kind of women Bundy was killing. Bundy knew about Browne’s dead girlfriend too, admits the terrified attorney. When asked if he thought Bundy had anything to do with the unsolved case, Browne said he couldn’t be sure. “I pray to God that he didn’t,” he said.
Browne notes the murder was in a different part of California than where Bundy said he was at the time.
The night the killer was taken into custody in Florida for suspicion of driving a stolen vehicle he called Browne. The attorney realized that the authorities didn’t know they had Bundy in their midst. Browne knew if they released him “he would probably kill other people.”
But, Browne said, “as a lawyer, I’m not allowed to do that.” By the next day, before he was released, the police figured it out. “Thank goodness,” Browne said.
Browne said that unlike most serial killers, Bundy did have at least some sense of right and wrong.“I had a deal with Ted Bundy to avoid the death penalty if he plead guilty and to a life sentence in Utah, Florida, Colorada, Washington, etc.” says Browne. “He kept saying, I’m gonna do it, I’m gonna do it. We’re walking in this court room and everyone knows we’re gonna do it, and then he turns around and says ‘I’m not gonna do it.’ So I believe he had a death wish.”Days before the execution, John talked to Bundy for at least 4-5 hours.“He started crying - which I’ve never seen before. You see, he’s a sociopath, and most sociopath’s don’t cry. And most of them never admit they’re a bad person. And Ted looked up to me and said ‘John, I want to be a good person, I’m just not.’”“Ted really knew he was evil. Evil, evil, evil. And, believe me, really evil.”
She’s thin, she’s blonde, she says ‘wow’ a lot.
Whenever I get sweet posts in my inbox from my followers, I save them in there so I can look at them when I’m really upset.
