Inglorious Basterds- *SPOILERS* included

Good movie

Taratino applies Pulp Fiction movie making to WWII-complete with a soundtrack including David Bowie- but it detours into a much more chronological order than Pulp. He establishes the Basterds without the normal bonding section of the movie as is his wont.

beautifully shot with remarkably attractive actors

He completely rewrites history but it is glorious to watch. A great(and quick) 2:32 of seeing Nazis.....oh let's save that for the spoiler area

Yes it is gory. There is blood. Lots of it...as there should be

Voice-overs from Samuel L. Jackson and Harvey Keitel.

Christoph Waltz as Col Landa IS the movie but Brad Pitt is excellent as well. Waltz plays a typical Tarantino character who knows all the answers before he asks a question. Col. Landa falters of his own ego and ambitions. Pitt, as Aldo Rains, does not in fact- he warns Landa of his own folly. Landa remarks about the lack of "honor amongst thieves" element that makes up the Tarantno world. The two carry the movie. Pitt is looking more like Redford as the years pass.

I have to say that, save for two scenes, the subtitles (80% of the movie) are not necessary and distract from the acting and visuals of this movie and "The Bear Jew" initially seems miscast-but the character is re-established later.

This movie is as much about movie making as it is about war. Great conversational scenes but they are undermined by the subtitles.

Hugo Stiglitz ranks right up there with the most vicious of any Tarantino character. He is pure psychotic murderer- a muscle meant to be used and he delivers one of the movie's funniest lines "Do I look relaxed?"



















*SPOILER*


















Gory

Expect to see the following:
scalping (lots of that)
throat slit
head crushing beating
leg wound
shooting (it IS a WWII movie)
Fire death by fire lots of that too.

Historical reference

Let's just say that Tarantino ends WWII in this movie ;-)

I loved Landa and Pitt. Landa's opening scene is worth the price of admission alone.

Hugo Stiglitz was awesome! That scene in the basement was the best, especially when you see what Hugo is thinking of.

QT rules!
