An Absolute Masterpiece

Rating: 9/10 (15 December 2009)

In a recent interview with Quentin Tarantino, he he was quoted saying he had the opposite of writers block, the ideas just kept coming, and that he couldn't stop himself from writing enough: the reasoning for so much time between films. When it comes to his well known genius, and his absolutely brilliant take on characters and story development,that statement is completely evident in his massively brilliant return with Inglorious Basterds.
The elements of Tarantino films are just as clear as always, with the violence and gore - making the points with the blood as he always has. The difference in this film was his approach to an already violent and evil event in history, perhaps one of the most with Hitlers massacre to the Jewish population in the 1940s. It is similar in the movie Munich with a final and justified violent Jew retaliation to what they were presented, but exceeds it exceptionally in the non-fictional sense. Brad Pitt and his German-killing Jew crew could have very well had an entire movie based on their events alone, but Tarantino, once again, takes it to the next level.
One of the greatest aspects of this movie was the use of language in this movie. With French, German, and English used fluently throughout, Tarantino uses the human perspective and understanding with the use of foreign languages like no other, especially pertaining to invasion upon France from Germany. The bottom line when watching this movie, is that NO ONE does it like Tarantino. Subtitles force you to be involved in the art and hardcore sectionalism of the parts of the movies within, but Tarantino uses the languages as a MEANING of understanding, purposefully.
Is this a common non-linear Tarantino film? No. Is it for the faint of heart? No. But if Tarantino hasn't reeled you in yet, he will. Inglorious Basterds- a monumental film
