Blaxploitation

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.
