Inglourious Basterds
This is another fine example of a movie I've been holding out on for a while, despite the fact that everyone and their dog has been urging me to see it. I guess I really need to stop doing that, because this movie was FANTASTIC.
Being familiar with Tarantino's work, the first thing I knew what to expect was one thing: deplorable violence. And, since this is a film from him, I got exactly what I expected.
For those of you who haven't seen the film, it goes a little like this:
Surreal version of Nazi occupied France that appears to be really exaggerated. The Jews become Nazis, the Nazis still remain well, Nazis. There is also unexpected deaths, blood, morphine, more blood, David Bowie, historical inaccuracy, and even more blood.
In other words, it's a great watch.
One thing I noticed is that this film doesn't skip around. When a scene starts off in a vet's office, it's going to stay in that vet's office until it's time for the story to move on. This type of film making is very effective, and I wish there were more out there like it.
The best part of the film were the last thirty minutes or so.
Plus, Brad Pitt made me laugh so hard, particularly in the scene were he speaks Italian. If you've seen it, you know what I'm talking about
If you haven't seen this film already, don't do what I did and wait. Get off your lazy ass and see it now. You're doing yourself a favor.
