I get to watch to watch this movie today, and what to say except one word EXCELLENT.
I am big admirer of Quentin Tarantino’s way of movie making. He has got great hold on story telling.
The film is divided into 5 chapters 1. Once Upon a TimeIn Nazi Occupied France 1. 2. Inglourious Basterds. 3. German Nights in Paris. 4. Operation Kino. 5. Revenge of the Giant Face
The movie is set during the time of second world-war.In Nazi occupied France, young Jewish refugee Shosanna witnesses the slaughter of her family by Colonel Hans Landa(Christoph Waltz). Narrowly escaping with her life, she plots her revenge several years later when German war hero Fredrick Zoller takes interest in her and arranges a movie premiere at the theater she runs.
On the other hand bunches of American-Jewish soldier are sent to German occupied France to kill the enemies led by the ruthless Lt. Aldo Raine(Brad Pitt). Soon they become famous because of their style of killing and are named ‘BASTERDS’ among Germans.
Now this movie premier got ‘BASTERD’S’ attention as the premier was suppose to attend by top rank officers of Nazi’s along with Hitler. They make a plan to kill all those to end the war. This was the time where the shosanna and the basterd’s plans meets.
This is the plot with lots of twist and turns.
I like the way Tarantino took the story from chapter to chapter. His hold on each character and their characterization. He holds the screenplay from start to end very well.
The entire movie was shot in classic war movie style. There are four languages used in the movie so we see most of the movie screen time with subtitles.
For performance Christopher Walts deserves applause( 10 out of 10). In The very first chapter you will get to know how powerful this character is, just superb. Brad Pitt is also top notch in the character of leader of The Basterds. All the other actors played their part very well.
I would say this is for those who likes war movies and for those who love Tarantino’s movies. Simply superb.
Rating : 8 out of 10
