A Masterpiece

Rating: 9/10 (16 July 2013)

Quentin Tarantino has once again proved to his audience that he is s genius, i don't use the word genius too often however there is no other word to describe Quentin's ability, it is the most purest and genuine form of what a true director really is.
The first scene offers us a scene of which it's context is a very well known concept in books and films etc, this is of course one of cinemas most moving tales which is the struggle of the Jews in Nazi Germany. The scene starts off peaceful, a beautiful view of French Landscape, a happy family, however right from the moment you see the familiar grey gloomy glow of the Nazi's driving up the hill, you are already left in fear for the family, this is because we are looking at a true family, they are working with each other, they speak to each other lovingly, they show respect and love for one another, we are not looking at a disintegrating family that are distant from one another, therefore already Quentin has made us feel as if these people are the good guys, the music saws through with a triumphant scream, an orchestra, widely used, yes, but still effective.
When the Jews that are hiding in the house die our anger and sadness are lifted up and the girl escaping away for me is iconic, it represents hope, it shows bravery, it shows that how ever many people the Nazi's kill there will always be someone to fight back and by god that girl did.
The fire in the cinema, the blood oozing out of the infamous Fuhrer, our true feelings of hatred and anger flow through our body, Quentin makes the audience his vulnerable psychos, i was left there watching each and every one of those people getting shot and i smiled throughout the whole thing.
Quentin Tarantino's Inglorious Basterds is a masterpiece it symbolises the true importance that a lot of humans still are too scared to admit, that vermin in this world deserves to go, whatever the circumstance if a human on this planet is too blind to see the value of human life, then that human is no longer part of our race, justice needs to be served, revenge shall take place.
My Favourite actor was definitely Christopher Waltz as Col. Hans Landa, despite seeing a tad of Dr King Schultz in his performance, he still portrayed in my opinion one of the most fearful characters in cinema, his sarcasm, his unusually relaxed approach to his enemies left you always feeling as if he was going to attack and i think that constant feel of fear and tension is important when displaying a characters true characteristics.
Despite the silly and obviously unrealistic decision in the movie which was Aldo Raine and his two Italian's going into the cinema to complete the operation, which i thought really did let the film down as it didn't maintain the tension that flowed through the piece, however it did create some laughs with Aldo Raine saying "Bonjourno" and Quentin Tarantino certainly did claim back his spark with one of the most intense scenes in cinema history which was the burning of the cinema.
I can safely say this film is one of my favourite movies and i will be watching again ( when i have the bravery ) sometime in the future, hats off to Quentin and his mastermind actors/actresses.
