This is one of my favorite films that I have no desire to watch again because of how awkward the interactions are and how exhausting the movie is in general. That being said, I felt it was the perfect vehicle to explore the analogy of love (defined here as what two people have in common) in all the various combinations that they did. The most interesting part to me is the ending because the main couple thought they were linked by myopia (as did the leader of the rebels which is why she sabotaged Rachel), which is why Colin Farrell almost certainly will blind himself, when they were actually linked by the sign language they created to converse when with the rebels. This, in my mind, is the film's best approximation of true love, something emergent and shared rather than something analyzed and assessed like all the other couples. Unfortunately, this went unnoticed by the couple themselves.

Also thought the very beginning was hilarious with the guy that turned himself into a sterile mule in order to permanently escape whoever the scorned woman was that shot him. Guy didn't even want risk that he'd have kids with her during his second chance, animal form lmao

I think u/MN-Jess ‘s explanation is correct, he kills a tribal police guy, who are dressed very similar to the security.

In the script here it looks like there were originally two people, one security contractor who said he could get up, and then one Bureau of Indian Affairs officer who got shot in the head by Curtis. I guess when they actually filmed it, they condensed it into one person and just made the tribal police guy say he was going to get up and then get killed

That's because a lot of the time in other movies, the villains are either regular people or some kind of alien. If most horror movies were accurate, you would actually realize that a regular average Joe of a person would have no chance fighting a supernatural and demonic entity.

But thats what the movie is about? Its about how cinema can influence the perception of reality. The nazis used cinema as propaganda. Tarantino takes away power of nazis by showing that they are just a bunch of assholes and not some unimaginable monsters. There's a reason why everything in basterds is about film.

The last security guard standing killed one of the officers who was crawling

Edit: I guess I'm wrong. I just read the script and the wounded security guard is killed by his teammate. Guess he was too wounded.
