World War II has never been so exciting!

Rating: 10/10 (23 February 2019)

The Pianist, The Schlinder List or Saving the Private Ryan are one of the best WW2 movies ever made. But for me which one is the number one? Of course Inglorious Basterds. History movies always give us serious messages such as the meaning of life or human cruelty, and usually filmmakers told their stories in a very slow, serious and politically correct way. Honestly I am so done with those kind of films. I mean, we can learn that on school. If I want to see a history movie I don't want to be told the story as if I was reading a book or watching a documentary, films should be interesting, emotional and clever and if to achieve that is necessary to add fiction, welcome that! In that sense, Quentin Tarantino didn't want to make ANOTHER WW2 movie, he didn't want to give us a history class, HE WANTED TO ENTERTAIN US, and I love him for that. However, If I still don't convince you to see Inglorious Basterds here are some facts about the movie that justify spending you time on Tarantino.
1: Has one of the most scary villains of all time, the one and only Hans Landa. He won an Oscar for his role.
2: English is not the only language, the film tries to be accurate with the context, you can find entire scenes with German, French or Italian.
3: Is a combination of history and fiction. So you the story IS NOT TOLD. Tarantino specifically didn't want to be a teacher of the most known history event. Instead, he gave us a finale very VERY satisfying.
4: The dialogues are exquisite as it is usual on Tarantino. However, the contructions of scenes are set with more mistery and tension tone than in Pulp Fiction. We are talking about Nazis and the MOST VIOLENT context in human history here, so obviously Tarantino took advanatage of that.
