| Synopsis:
In Nazi occupied France, young Jewish refugee Shosanna Dreyfus witnesses the slaughter of her family by Colonel Hans Landa. Narrowly escaping with her life, she plots her revenge several years later when German war hero Fredrick Zoller takes a rapid interest in her and arranges an illustrious movie premiere at the theater she now runs. With the promise of every major Nazi officer in attendance, the event catches the attention of the "Basterds", a group of Jewish-American guerilla soldiers led by the ruthless Lt. Aldo Raine. As the relentless executioners advance and the conspiring young girl's plans are set in motion, their paths will cross for a fateful evening that will shake the very annals of history. |

 Great movie for the Tarantino fan March 10, 2010

My husband and I loved this movie. As expected from Quentin Tarantino, the movie is absurd in its humor, graphic in its violence, revisionist in its history. We will enjoy watching it over and over again...

Just like Pulp Fiction, Inglorious Basterds has been divided into parts, however in order. Brad Pitt leads a squad of US soldiers in occupied France during WWII, carrying out hit and run attacks on German soldiers...
Unexpected outcome scenes : 1. Bar Scene
2. Interrogation Scene ( Colonel. Hans Landa with Bridget )
3. Projection Room Scene ( Shosanna with Private Fredrick )
4. Ending, didn't expect the movie to end in this way.
If you like Pulp Fiction, you will most probably also like this movie. 79 reviewers gave this movie a 1 star rating,it should at least deserve a 3 stars rating for the twists in the plot.

Inglourious basterds is a fictional take on WWII and right form the start this movie grips you into a feel for the characters and story line. From beginning the end the film is oozing with suspense, but also a hint of comedic taste that only Quentin can blend so well. In Inglourious Basterds most of Quentins comedic output is shown through Brad Pitt's character, so to the people complaining about his outlandish accent, it was to compliment or ampilfy the comedic tones of his lines. The most profound actor of the lot in this movie is without question Christoph Waltz (Hans Landa). His acting is superb, believable, and definately worth an oscar. The storyline in the movie is explained mostly through dialogue and where the heart of suspense is. So yes, there will be alot of talking and subtitles, but keep in mind it helps move along the story and build suspense. The film has enough action and gore to keep most people entertained, but some viewers have said that it is to violent or gory. This comment seems to be irrevelant though, after all it is a war movie by Quentin Tarantino and in no way, shape, or form does it take away from the Triple-A quality the movie offers. It is most definately a movie i would highly suggest.

The movie is great! We've watched it 4 times already! Of course, all my family are former military and/or Marines! Brad Pitt is great in the movie... I think he should have gotten an Oscar for his performance. As usual, the DVD arrived within 3-4 days of the order date. "Amazon does it best!"

I've been a fan of Quinton Tarantino's films, and "Inglorious Basterds" is one of his all-time best. Clever, quirky, controversial, envelope-pushing - only Tarantino would have the guts to do a film "reinterpretation" of WWII.
Brad Pitt is funny as heck as the leader to the group of Jewish-American soldiers, "the Basterds," on a mission to kill and scalp any and every Nazi solder they find (not to mention taking a baseball bat to the skulls of captured Nazis who refuse to spill the beans), while giving those whose lives are sparred a little "souvenir." Tarantino hit the mother load casting Austrian actor Christolph Waltz as the Nazi "Jew Hunter" Hans Landa. Like actress-comedienne Mo'Nique's performance in "Precious," Waltz's turn won him every "Best Supporting Actor" award during the 2009 awards season, up to and including the Oscar, for his role in "Basterds." As with Mo'Nique, Mr. Waltz was deserving of the accolades, as his performance in this film is nothing short of outstanding!
I rank "Inglorious Basterds" up there with "Pulp Fiction," "Reservoir Dogs" and the "Kill Bill" films as film-maker Quinton Tarantino operating on all cinematic cyllinders.
