At about 1.55 in the song the tempo changes and you can here vilolins giving the song a classical sound this also goes along with the same point of challenging high low styles .

Kramers Theory

Lightbulb theives "work it out" shows a clear distinction of challenging the barriers of high a low with the classical music at the begining and then turns into streetdance style music.

Comparing Christian Bale and Adam West as Batman with the kick ass version Nicolas Cage

As for the costume in Kick Ass they used a simple type of costume as the Christian Bale batman i think they did this to fit with the modernised feel to the film also Batman in the film is taken seriously as a dangerous character, so they wanted a morew powerful costume to show this element of seriousness.
With Christian bales version of batman was very misterious didnt say much, he also but on a very deep voice almost as if it was a distguise of what his real voice was like. He also portrayed that he wasnt scared of danger but was alot more serious about it. there was no element to comedy about him where as with Nicolas Cage and Adam west there was.

i have found that Nicolas cage has took more of his character inspiration from Adam West as he is slightly more of a jokey character and looks at danager as a fun element to his life. I have found that this allows him to be sarcastic. I think this is more of a like able character.

Blaxploitation







Blaxploitation (or "blacksploitation") is a film genre which emerged in the United States circa 1971. These exploitation films were made specifically, and perhaps exclusively, for an urban, black audience. The word itself is a portmanteau of the words "black" and "exploitation," and was coined in the early 1970s by the Los Angeles NAACP head, and ex-film publicist, Junius Griffin. Blaxploitation films were the first to feature soundtracks of funk and soul music and they featured a primarily black cast.[1] Variety magazine credited Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song, released in 1971, with the invention of the blaxploitation genre whilst others argue that the Hollywood-financed film Shaft, also released in 1971, is closer to being a Blaxploitation piece; and thus is more likely to have begun the trend.[2]

Music in inglorious bastards

Tarantino originally wanted to use Ennio Morricone, due to him being in the middle of scoring "Giuseppe Tornatore's Baarìa " he did not have the time. Despise all this Tarantino still used 8 tracks composed by "morricone" in the film. The post modern element that is attached to the music is that the music isnt from the 1940's, which is the era of the film. Instead they have used music from later eras and other films like spaghetti western, blaxplotation film. we also hear david bowie from the film "Cat people" . I think its clever how they have used as it outs a bit of a comedy spin on it as it contrasts with the types of scene thats going on, it also gives us a cultural look on it with the americans having the westen type sound behind it. It reminds me of the old cowboys and indians tv programmes. I like how they used a track"The Green leaves of summer" by Nick Perito at the start of the film when it was the shooting scene as it was quite classical music and made the scene more dramatic.

various peoples reviews on inglorious basterds

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0361748/:

Brave, unique and just sheer brilliant!
2 June 2009 by produpp (United Kingdom) – See all my reviews
Inglorious Basterds makes no apologies, asks for no forgiveness, it's a no holds barred assault on the senses. Tarantino doesn't care if he offends, if he steps all over stereotypes and clichés, this is film making at it purest. It's great to see a film maker whose work clearly isn't interfeared with by the powers that be. Tarantino is a master of effortlessly cranking up immense tension and suddenly mixing it with laugh out loud moments; you're not sure if you should be looking away in disgust or rolling around laughing, either way it's a roller coaster and one not to be missed! It's not for everyone and I'm unsure how Germans will take the film, certainly if you're not a fan of Tarantino's style, this may be a little hard to swallow, but never-the-less, it is a film which simply has to be seen. No self respecting film fan should miss this. And the performance of Christoph Waltz... Oscar don't you dare ignore him!!

http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/film/cannes/article6327709.ece:
The film starts like a spaghetti western and then accelerates into an old-fashioned wartime thriller, complete with a sumptuous plot to blow a local cinema in Paris to smithereens — and with it most of Germany’s top military brass. Bullets and blood are never far from the screen.

The Basterds, as Pitt’s gang refer to themselves, are introduced like vintage bad-ass cowboys despite the alarmingly incongruous Jewish looks. They ambush German patrols in forests, and proceed to scalp them in lurid close-up. Pitt’s leader revels in this comic and macabre campaign, toying with captives before carving swastikas into their foreheads. While German captives gabble for their lives, Pitt’s calm, Southern drawl is almost comically ruthless.


http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2009/aug/19/inglourious-basterds-review-brad-pitt-quentin-tarantino:
When I saw Inglourious Basterds at Cannes, my traumatised complaint was that it fails as conventional war movie, as genre spoof, as trash and as pulp. Since then, its defenders have claimed that the point of the film is that it is "kosher porn": an over-the-top revenge fantasy for Jews. Well, erm, maybe. But it might simply have the highly un-porny effect of reminding us what actually happened. And if "kosher porn" was the point, wouldn't it have been better to make the Basterds' leader actually Jewish? Instead of which, their CO is Brad Pitt, the good ol' boy from Tennessee, a part of the world in which progressive sympathies with European Jewry are - how can I put it? - atypical. Even this, moreover, isn't exactly the point. Wildly bad-taste ahistorical fantasies about Nazi Germany are great: but here they are nullified by middlebrow good-taste cinephile stuff referencing UFA, Emil Jannings etc, in which the details of course have to be exactly right.
