Pridefully Great

Rating: 9/10 (3 February 2018)

"Inglourious Basterds" (2009) is a pride inducing war drama that makes the viewer root for the home team throughout their vulgar methods. The film takes place in the World War II era where the Nazi-occupied France is being torn apart by a team of Jewish-American soldiers led by Lt. Aldo Raine, played exquisitely by Brad Pitt. The perspective of this film isn't from a single person like many other successful films, but from a group of individuals as they take on the 3rd Reich.
The pacing of this film is perfect for the story it displays. Even though some viewers may be turned off by Tarantino's trademark out time shifting sequences, I urge viewers to embrace it because it allows the film to keep the audience intrigued. When you think there is a moment that is not understandable, just wait, the sequences will explain themselves. I think the point of this film was to show a heighten sense of history while instilling American pride for those fighting for what's right. This film is outstanding and a must see especially for those that enjoy a good war movie.
