Inglourious Basterds
Killing Nazis is very cool and Tarantino is a top 2 dialogue writer, those are the 2 main things I take away from this film. Very very good plot, for the last hour or so I was basically captivated on what would happen next. This is a masterpiece really. It’s a bit silly at times, especially the massacres in the cinema and the bar but like I said the plot and dialogue are so so top tier that it’s all okay. I do like that the film is in 4 different languages throughout as well, just means this isn’t a casual watch but the plot is enough to engage you throughout anyways.
I’ve seen 3 Tarantino films so far and I think I like this more than Pulp Fiction. I’ll have to think more on where I stand on this compared to Django but I feel the same 5 star vibe here as I did there. I don’t really have any major gripes. It takes a little while to establish all the different sub-plots but once it does it flows really well. In terms of the acting, Christoph Waltz is fantastic in this. The acting in the opening scene is insane, also in the bar scene too. It has its funny moments as well, Brad Pitt’s delivery on the ‘Grazie’ made me laugh out loud.
Overall this is an excellent film and a very enjoyable watch. 10/10
