It was a Low, Cheap, Under-Handed Trick that Worked

Rating: 10/10 (15 October 2016)

Despite the title, this is going to have a positive review....
You just hated the villain didn't you? Well, you might not have seen it, but I hated him. Christoph Waltz was one evil SOB wasn't he? He really made you hate him didn't he? I haven't seen a bad guy in a movie I hated that much since Denzel in "Training Day." It takes a lot of talent to pull off such a visceral reaction in an audience that, despite the willing suspension of disbelief, still understands they are just watching a movie. Kudos Waltz, that was brilliant.
That being said....There is more to this review so....
Warning: Spoiler Alert! Warning: Spoiler Alert! Warning: Spoiler Alert! I work in history...well I did, and all I have to say is that was a cheap underhanded trick you pulled on his Quentin! Everyone knows Hitler died in a bunker in Berlin...correction, most everyone that doesn't believe in weird conspiracy theories know that Hitler died in a bunker in Berlin.
It's in the back of your mind when you're watching this film.
So there is a point here, in this film, where you're sitting down, drinking your over-priced diabetic inducing pop thinking: "How is Hitler going to get out of this one?" It's not like you are rooting for him, but you are sitting there trying to figure out how he escapes, so afterwards, you have that dirty feeling. That really disgustingly dirty feeling where you realize that, yeah, you were wondering how he was going to get out of it and almost sorta counts as rooting for him to survive.
Does that make you less of a human being? Probably not. It's only a movie, it's not like you're going to start writing love letters to David Dukes, you were just taking history a little too seriously...
And Quentin Tarantino did totally trick you into thinking: "How is Hitler going to get out of this one?" So Kudos QT, you had me fooled. Didn't think you would do that. Fool me once, shame on you and all that, but I'll still buy you a pint because that was brilliant.
