Inglorious Basterds



I know I am late blogging about this one..I did see it over a month ago now! Honestly came out of the cinema thinking…WOW!! Quentin Tarantino what a legend. I don’t think I have ever seen in movie in which every emotion goes through me at some part of the film. I laughed, I cried, I screamed etc.

A quick summary of the film: In Nazi-occupied France during World War II, a group of Jewish-American soldiers known as "The Basterds" are chosen specifically to spread fear throughout the Third Reich by scalping and brutally killing Nazis. The Basterds soon cross paths with a French-Jewish teenage girl who runs a movie theater in Paris which is targeted by the soldiers.

A lot of Jewish people I know were not that thrilled by it, but to be fair it was most of the older generation I heard this from. I think they went expecting a tradition holocaust film. In my opinion don’t go and see a Tarantino film and expect traditional and realistic.

I saw an interview with him where he said that this was his own fairytale version of how Hitler was killed. Whilst watching it (I don’t know if this is because im Jewish) some part of me wished that it were a true story!!

Absolute genius! From the acting to the angles and the graphics and the humour!
