"I think this might just be my masterpiece. " Yes, Mr.Tarantino, you were right.

Rating: 10/10 (6 September 2009)

In my opinion, a good movie is, first of all, one that never bores you. Not even when you have seen it ten times. A movie which manages to draw your attention so much, that during it, you cannot pay attention to anything else, and, for those 2 hours, you feel you are in a completely different world, and you forget everything that is real, because the action of the movie becomes so real to you (more than real actually)...that the movie becomes your reality. And you don't want it to end, but at the same time you cannot wait to see what is coming next. And you empathize with the characters. You put yourself in their place and you either wish you were actually one of them or you wish you had directed the movie. In conclusion, a movie which prevents you from looking at the clock is a good movie.
For me, Inglourious Basterds is the very epitome of everything I mentioned above. No sooner had I finished seeing it than it entered my Top Movies. And yes, I think it is Tarantino's masterpiece. Of course, I must say that Pulp Fiction was the first best of Tarantino, and it also is one of my favourites, but Inglourious Basterds has many things that Pulp fiction lacks, such as let's say...maturity and a more interesting and important subject. Of course, I believe that Pulp Fiction also has a bunch of things that Inglourious Basterds does not have, such as witty and funny lines and in general, better dialogues, so it is very hard for me to decide which one I like best.
Anyway, in Inglourious Basterds, I was thrilled to see the multilingual diversity, and I think this was my favourite aspect from the entire movie. I don't know if you ever noticed this: in many movies, especially in those concerning war, the action takes place in either France or Germany, but everyone is speaking in English, although they are supposed to be French or German natives. The fact that Tarantino used so many foreign actors impressed me. But none impressed me like Christoph Waltz. His performance here not only deserves an Oscar nomination, it certainly deserves the award itself. Everything, from his voice, to his witty interpretation of the character, to his suggestive face, brought so much to the movie. I cannot believe that Tarantino actually thought at first to give Leo DiCaprio the part of Hans Landa. Nevertheless, I also have another personal favourite: Til Schweiger aka Hugo Stiglitz. I couldn't stop laughing when Hicox was telling him that they ought to remain calm while Stiglitz was sharpening his knife, and Stiglitz's answer...oh my God, that definitely showed the humor of the movie. Also, the Italian accents...Brad Pitt killed it there, I must say.
All in all, I recommend this movie from all my heart. And make sure you see it with subtitles, that of course, unless you know four languages :)) 10 out of 10.
