2010-01-19 8:03 PM Inglorious Basterds Probably one of Quinten's best.
I highly recommend. I thought like a lot of his movies there would be some gratuitous blood. But not so much in this one. Of course there were some scenes. But not overly done. Pitt and Waltz's characters were both kind of the comic reliefs to this film, if not dark comical, if not serial killer/dasterdly so...still, that's Quintien's style. And he does it well. The soundtrack although kind of updated, or undated, reminded me of the old Spaghetti Westerns Quienten so loved. It fits well within the movie. My dog was enthralled by the music in the coffee house. Turning her head from side to side....LOL. And of course, there is the scene where the want to be lover has to face off with the don't want to be lover (this scene kind of confused me as he did finally show his true side) and he (Quiuntin) always has to have a kind of Mexican standoff, that's not the right term, but I don't want to spoil. I'm not real fond of Brad Pitt's southern accent, even a Tennessee one, but he does over the course of the film, make it work. Especially when Pitt tries to do Italian. Reminded me of the Lavaca boy who spoke perfect Espanol but could never get his accent. He still sounded like a boy from Lavaca, Arkansas trying to speak Spanish. As a trivia...the one guy Jewish soldier he ends up with in the end, it the American producer/ writer/actor in the American version of The Office. Oh, B.J. Novak. I'm a Quientin fan, and this folks, is one of his best. I guess I should add, as my mom was into geneology...I'm a third cousin to Goebbels. Maybe that's why I see propaganda like no one else.
