"Inglourious Basterds" by Quentin Tarantino and Eli Roth: a review

2 qtes

Quentin Tarantino has done it again with an action packed Nazi era masterpiece that will keep you glued to the screen. Brad Pitt puts on a masterful performance. This must be Tarentino's best work ever. Tarentino has turned the page of history and takes the viewer on a journey that is full of gore and mystery. All done in typical Tarentino drama and action.

Here is a summary of the movie provided from the preview as if walking through a potato field wondering how the action will take place. Nazi occupied France, and a 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 quickly takes an 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 guerrilla soldiers led by the ruthless Lt. Aldo Raine played by Brad Pitt. Best said as a redneck from Tennesee. 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.

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. You will not be disappointed with Inglorious Basterds.
