What a movie! Quentin Tarantino has done it again. I saw this movie twice in two days and still haven't had enough. Inglourious Basterds scores on so many fronts that its difficult to pinpoint why you like it so much.Is it the engrossing and exciting World War 2 setting? Is it the amazing performances by each of the actors? (esp Col Hans Landa) Is it the joy of listening to so many different languages? Is it the funny american accent of Brad Pitt?
I think there are a few things that really stand this movie apart. One, although based on World War 2 it is not a war movie and is also fictional. This allows the director to take the story where he wants and the audience is not disappointed at the end like they were, say in Valkyrie. Second, a robinhood kindof group has always been the favorite of people and when it is fighting one of the most infamous men in history it is al the more popular. Third, a stunningly beautiful french girl courageously plans the death of all the Nazi top-brass. Now we all love beauties especially the ones with the brains, now don't we. :-)
The above strengthen the story line so much that even acerage presentation would have sufficed. Quentin Tarantino doesn't do average. People who have watched Pulp Fiction will vouch for that. The breakneck speed at which the movie progresses and the amazing - amazing scenes (my favorite is the one in the rendezvous restaurant) make this movie a delight to watch.
All in all, IB is an awesome movie. I am sure once will not be enough!
Cheers!
