This scene is filled with tension. With no background noise or music, the clanking of glasses and beer glasses hitting each other fill the atmosphere of this “Mexican standoff” taking place in Inglorious Bastards. It’s clear that the American troops are improvising their conversation with fake facts about themselves with the gestapo officer joining the table, hurrying to leave no suspicion. It’s like running into an Ex in a bar, especially while using your friend to display an image of how great things are. It is a funny comparison between these two scenarios, as to how both people have the tendencies to fabricate facts and dissuasions, hopeful to get on with their lives. – republished from older version posted on 2/17
