"Inglorious Basterds"



There has never been dark humor as well presented as this!

There was never much doubt that Quentin Tarantino is nothing shy of a genius, but his last movie is a whole new level of entertainment.

The pure childish joy of spending almost three hours in front of the screen watching Nazis get molested, people shot and knifed, swastika's cut into people's foreheads and Brad Pitt as a loud and somewhat obnoxious Southerner is more than I have experienced in a long time.

But the most epic aspect of the movie are the characters - or if you will, Tarantino's gift of creating characters you never forget - and in this film that is especially the character Hans Landa, also known as "The Jew Hunter" - you see, a lot of people claim that the villain is what makes the movie - and I agree - another excellent example is the late Heath Ledger and his role as The Joker. The villain presents the chaos, the conflict which makes the story - the hero is only there to fix it.

Now, back to Hans Landa - or Christoph Waltz - probably the most genius interpretation I've ever seen - the catchphrase "That's a Bingo!" will one day be as famous as "frankly dear, I don't give a damn."

"It's an inglorious thrill ride of vengeance" as the tag line says - the dialogues are long, the violence crude and detailed, the plot has diversity and the characters are the top of the ice cream - THE movie of the decade, ladies and gentlemen.

Sincerely
JanaMart

  1. As you said, Landa is the star. Making Brad Pitt look like mama's boy compared to him xD Christopher Waltz is the name of 2009 and it sure tastes well! <3
