Inglurious Basterds, Tarantino’s 6th movie and probably one of his top three films. This genre-blending thrill ride is set in Nazi-occupied France and follows a group of Jewish U.S soldiers who are plotting to assassinate  Nazi leaders. The story may seem simple but is very intricate. Like most other Tarantino movies it follows multiple story lines that eventually coincide to one of the greatest movie endings in cinema. Having no actual main character and even following the villain in some parts of the movie, makes for a pleasurable viewing experience seeing how all the different story lines affect each other. The film’s shots are a spectacle to see. From the French countryside to a tavern located in a basement it is gorgeous to view. The film is a wonderful display of Tarintinos cinematography. The shots in the movie perfectly captivate what makes a beautiful picture. The acting is superb. Starring big names like Brad Pitt, Christoph Waltz, and Mélanie Laurent. Not a single character in the movie felt phoned in. But the actor that really shines is Christoph’s Waltz performance as Hans Landa. His character is one of the most evil and entertaining villains in any movie. The SS Colonel is tasked with locating Jews in hiding in occupied France, while he takes great pride in his work, he acts entirely out of self-interest as the film demonstrates. His characters come across as educational, polite, and even charming. But beneath he is cruel, almost un human like being. Which makes him the most enjoyable part of the movie, he demands your attention when he appears on screen and lets you know things are going to turn ugly. Although the movies set in WW2 I wouldn’t qualify it as a war movie, it’s more of an espionage/spy film. So don’t expect a lot of battle scenes. And the movie consists mostly of dialogue between people, although each conversation feels needed and it is interesting to watch some of the scenes feel like they drag on too long. And most of the movie is spoken in a different language. Although it makes sense for Germans to speak German and the people living in France to speak French, if reading subtitles isn’t exactly to your liking then avoid this movie. Thought to be one of the best Tarintino films, Rotten Tomatoes shows the movies worthy of that title. The movie has a reviewer score of 89% and an audience score of 88%. A violent, thrilling, and at points comedic film that is a favorite for me. 9/10
