Time flies faster than expected, and it's been 12 years since "Shameless Bastards" was released. In 12 years, many people still remember this group play vividly, many people even have to watch it once or twice a year, and more people have long regarded the "Jewish Hunter" scene and the extremely rich bar scene led by Christopher Waltz as an absolute classic............ Many of the film's scenes, narratives, mirrors, lines, logic, and contradiction construction are worth savoring and analyzing.

Quentin Tarantino's seriousness about film is world-class, and the large sections of dialogue in his films are sometimes confusing, and once understood, the aftertaste is endless, much more tense than the camera performance. If he is a writer, he will certainly not be bad, because even if he uses such a "straightforward" visual means as a movie, he can present the character's heart in front of the audience, enriching the levels of struggle, confrontation, wrestling, and fighting, and making the audience addicted. Quentin Tarantino is said to have spent 10 years building the script for Shameless Bastards. His shoehorn face has become a guarantee of the quality of the film.

As we all know, Quentin Tarantino was once the little brother of the video tape rental shop, and part of his success stemmed from the huge number of readers during this period, which also became the reason why his films frequently paid tribute to classic old films, and borrowed from the plot, bridge sections, soundtracks, camera techniques, etc. in classic films, including both Sergio Leone and Zhang Che, which shows the breadth of his vision. Part of the plot of "Shameless Bastard" comes from the Italian 1978 film "Dai Sin Meritorious Service".

Before identifying Brad Pitt as the lead actor, Quentin also considered Leonardo DiCaprio, Tim Rose, Vincent Cassel, Roman Darius, and others. The first three Quentin have all worked with him, and the last two are French. From the perspective of pure acting, Brad Pitt is definitely not the best choice, from the perspective of Yuppy cool, careless, psychological pressure, Brad Pitt is one of the best.

Another "well-known" is that the people of the earth know that Quentin Tarantino once said that he would only make ten films in his lifetime, but he belongs to the kind of director who will have the impulse to tell a story at any time and jump into his mind, and we can almost conclude that he will renege on his word, and definitely better than Luc Besson, who constantly reneges on his word.

Also because of Quentin's own boundless creative impulses, he has said that if "Shameless Bastards" is successful, he will shoot a prequel to the film. People will not believe it, because he has also said that he wants to shoot a prequel to "Pulp Fiction", "Falling Water Dog" and "Kill Bill", and as a result, none of them have been filmed.

Beginning with Pulp Fiction, Quentin Tarantino and Samuel Jackson established a "brotherly friendship", and when filming Shameless Bastard, Jackson was unable to participate due to scheduling reasons, but he volunteered to complete the narration of the film. In fact, including Shameless Bastards, excluding documentary films, Jackson has worked with Quentin Tarantino 6 times. In other words, he starred in most of Quentin's feature films.
