Inglorious Basterds



Been awhile since teh last time I wrote a movie review. Well what will I write this time? Simple, you guys can read the title of this post right?

Yup.

It`s the latest movie by the aclaim director that brought us Pulp Fiction and Resevoir Dogs. This is movie is by far his finest yet. Inglorious Basterds. Starring, Brad Pitt, Diane Krueger, Eli Roth just to name a few.

Now we all know that this movie has been making headlines in the film industry. Everyoen including myself has been anticipating this film and all I got to say is that it`s worth the wait.

What`s this movie about?

Well it`s more like a spaghetti western set within the WWII theme, with bunch of American soldiers rag tag outfit called "Basterds" deployed in the heart of France. Their objective to strike fear in the hearts of the Nazis and also to be the main driving force for "Operation Keano"...in other words to take down the Fuhrer himself.

The movie boost the classic style of Tarantino filmaking. A blend of suspence and humour. Try to picture Pulp Fiction meet Resevoir Dogs kinda thing and you`ll know what I mean. The characters were brilliantly played by the actors specially to Christoph Waltz who played the role as the "Jew Hunter" Hans Landa. This is by far Tarantino finest masterpiece.Perfect in every aspect.

My favourite scene is definately the underground bar scene by far the best scene in the movie with the following lines:

Major Dieter Hellstrom: That was the sound of my Walther pointed right at your testicles.
Lt. Archie Hicox: Why do you have a Luger pointed at my testicles?

Major Dieter Hellstrom: Because you've just given yourself away, Captain. You're no more German than that scotch.
Lt. Archie Hicox: Well, Major...
Bridget von Hammersmark: Major...
Major Dieter Hellstrom: Shut up, slut. You were saying?
Lt. Archie Hicox: I was saying that that makes two of us. I've had a gun pointed at your balls since you sat down.
Sgt. Hugo Stiglitz: That makes three of us.
[Stiglitz takes Hellstrom by the shoulder and aggresively forces a gun against his crotch]
Sgt. Hugo Stiglitz: And at this range, I'm a real Frederick Zoller.
Major Dieter Hellstrom: Looks like we have a bit of a sticky situation here.

To those of you who haven`t watch the movie I would suggest you to run to your nearest DVD retail stall to pick up a copy of the DVD.
 


Watch it and be the judge for yourself.
 
I would rate this film 5 STARS. And would love this work by Tarantino the be nominated for the Oscars.
