Taratino and World War II what more can anyone ask?

Rating: 10/10 (13 February 2010)

Inglourious Basterds is NOT an accurate war picture there is no historical facts here whatsoever except that WWII did happen and Adolph Hitler did exist. One does not look for facts in a John Wayne World War II film one should not do so here.
Brad Pitt plays Lt.Aldo Raine a man sent to create a squad of Eight Jewish-American soldiers to take with him behind enemy lines in a effort to shake up the German high command before the D-Day landing. Raine is part Apache and he designs his operation along the lines of a apache war party hit run and disappear. Now he also tells his men that the Nazis are not human do not treat them as such kill anything wearing a uniform in such a manner that it'll deliver a message to the German high command in their nightmares. That said Lt. Aldo Raine informs his men that they ow him one hundred Nazi scalps and he wants his scalps.
Flashforward a few months later the basterds have become legend their names whispered thru out Europe Aldo The Apache the Bear Jew and the Little man are just part of the legend that Hitler wants stamped out. He's angry and frustrated these men are now myths one of them the Bear Jew is reported to be a golem.
During this time the British government launch operation Kino a suicide mission of sorts it appears that Germany has a New Sgt, York in Young Fredrick Zoeller a young man whom Gobbels has just made a movie about starring him it's called the pride of a nation and Gobbels wants to launch it at a fantastic premiere with the Entire German high Command in attendance. The Basterds are drafted into helping operation Kino succeed or die trying.
The rest of the movie introduces us to SS Colonel Hans Landa a slimy soldier who is good at his job but may be a little bit too greedy for his own good
Things go wrong as they often do in these types of war films and the Basterds have to salvage the operation and make it succeed or die trying.
Brad Pitt gives the best acting performance of his life here. There is no Brad Pitt movie star instead he is replaced By Lt.Aldo Raine and Pitt saves this movie from becoming just another average war flick.
Well worth seeing if only for Pitt's Aldo Raine alone.
