The major theme in Inglourius Basterds has to be revenge. I feel this way because the movie revolves mainly around Shoshanna plotting out and getting revenge against the people who killed her family. Shoshanna's family was killed when Hans Landa invades the home of LaPadite and shoots them all under the floorboard. Shoshanna is now out for revenge.
What's her idea for revenge? To burn down the theater while Hitler and other Nazis are watching a movie about Fredrick, who has his eye on Shoshanna. While Shoshanna doesn't live to see her brilliant plan carried out, the message is loud and clear. In a way, this movie allows Jewish people to get the revenge that they would have loved to have seen actually happen.
This is a bit short, and you do not do any mise en scene analysis to support your point; you just talk about Shoshanna's idea of revenge. Remember, you need to do mise en scene analysis.
