Awful

Rating: 1/10 (29 July 2010)

This was probably the worst film I saw in a couple of years. Pointless violence and a complete lack of an history (believable or not).
In 1941 a Jewish teenager girl escapes from death at the hands of the Nazis. In 1944-45 she is the owner of a theater in Paris. And she's grown up. Around 25-30.
It's like if QT isn't aware of time. Or the time WWII lasted from the invasion of Poland to the surrender of Japan. He doesn't, but there are people that know. If he wants to make some sort of what if historic film better do it with something that wasn't so dramatic and involved so many suffering and death.
A film where people laugh at every shot like if they were a moronic audience in the US in the present??.
An African as a projectionist in Paris under Nazi rule (???).
He probably arrived Paris after Senegal independence. Oh wait, Senegal was only independent a lot later.
This supposed director does not even know that seeing an African on Europe before the 60's was a rarity. Unlike the US there were almost no Africans in Europe before the fall of colonial regimes.
If this is what he does better, I suggest he just stops and spare us the excruciating pain that is to spend money and time on a piece of garbage like this. The plot is for morons, the acting is below anything I've ever seen in "first class" movies". The photography is completely average. This film is a pointless exercise and waste of time. It will go down in cinema history as the most overrated piece of trash ever to be made.
I'm absolutely amazed to see this film in the top 250. What kind of public looks at this miserable movie and thinks it's the best thing they ever saw? Teens that saw two movies?
Absolutely disgusting.
