— Inglourious Basterds – The DVD

Posted in Movie Review on December 27th, 2009 by – Be the first to comment

I think Inglourious Basterds has become my favorite Tarantino flick.  Its even jumped over my all time favorite Pulp Fiction.  Yes, I’m serious..  Why, you ask? Because the story is just insane.  Its as though someone re-made the dirty dozen, but made all of the dozen Jewish, threw in some spies, through in a story of some of those in Occupied territory.  Brad Pitt’s character is pretty interesting and damn near makes this his best (most eclectic) acting role behind being a Pikey/gypsy in SNATCH.

And did it, making a much better (Produced) movie.  This movie has a great mix of amusing moments intermingled with drama, intermingled with the style that ONLY Quinten can put on a screen.  No one’s ever made Nazis look so non-repulsive even though it was pretty repulsive.  Thankfully, they didn’t get into holocast stuff.  If my history serves me, this would have been in a pre-Final Solution time-frame.  The point of the movie pre-supposes what would’ve happened if Hitler (and Goebbles, Bormann, Goring) were killed and the war was ended on one day.

The movie is based around a propaganda film being made around a German Sniper.  The propaganda film is called Nations Pride (Stolz Der Nation).  What so funny is that on the DVD, they have posted the entire german propaganda film made for this movie… And it looks just like one of the real propaganda films from the 1940’s.  Its very creative that they chose to do this.
