This article presents Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds as a 'masterpiece' of metacinema that satirizes its audience(s) directly. The particular focus is how Tarantino creates and leverages a network of analogical relations and/or resonances to reflect and/or fold spectators back upon themselves and make us (the viewing audience) the butt or (Private) 'Butz' of his joke. This article also argues that Tarantino attacks and manipulates the viewer's sensibilities and perceptions with a view to affording them a shock of recognition--exposing audiences to their enjoyment (and, by extension, complicity in the co-production) of on-screen violence and their willingness to be manipulated by the director into a position that parallels that of the in-film Nazi audience--and, thereby enabling spectators to see themselves and their relations to film more clearly.
