10 years in the planning, right after Jackie Brown, Quintin Tarantino moved to a tangent of his initial concept for the story behind his take on WWII, which he mentions could have become a 12 hour mini series, and finally delivers in 2009,ripe for the Cannes, a version of History and revenge as only he can with Inglourious Basterds.
The main theme of the film is revenge. Specifically, revenge against all Coldblooded Nazi! The film is set in an alternate history of the Second World War in which the entire top leadership of Nazi Germany, namely Hitler, Goering, Goebbels and Bormann attend a film premiere in Paris celebrating the exploits of the German regime on slaughter.
The film tracks a motley crew of Jewish American soldiers out for revenge against the Nazis in five intrincated Chapters. Each shot a masterpiece of photography and accelerated action, witty conversations and blood splattering plot. The Basterds have a modus operandi that only a Dream Team of Holocaust avenging soldiers could get away with, by the first sequence, one realizes that they are properly called Bastards in their own right. Every time there is a "cultural clash" The Basterds allow one German soldier to survive, so as to spread the word and plant the seed of the strenght of their attacks.
What can you add to yet another Quintin Tarantino Movie that depicts vengance on such a hated era using spectacular cinema skills and outstanding story telling visual style?! If you pay attention to the real top notch bastards, those are always projecting and kinda portraying the same wild genious wisdom and even the infamous look of Adolf Hitler himself, with the twinkle in the eye of an objective clear in mind, the flappy front hair that combs over the mayhem master's head and the tickly mustache that has now become one of the most recognizable icons of authority and Go-getness of our century.
One violent "historical" movie (with emphasis on MOVIE) that will make you want to see it again and again in case you miss a word. Pretty accurate too, for they speak the corresponding language to each situation depicted, making not just fun and entertaining, but educational as well!
