The Pinnacle of Tarantino's Career

Rating: 10/10 (1 June 2016)

Personally one of my most revered Tarantino movies, "Inglourious Basterds" is another showcase of Quentin's ambitions and devotion to cinema. Similar to Pulp Fiction, Basterds is told in a way much like a novel. It is essentially Tarantino's fictitious alternative ending to WWII, told in two different P.O.V's who are both, unknowingly, working towards the same goal, and ultimately doing it in the same fashion-- "killing all the eggs in one basket" by burning a cinema down which is home to the gathering of Hitler's Third Reich for a propaganda film "Nation's Pride". Knowing that Tarantino spent a little over a decade writing the script, from scene one you feel the rigorousness and preciseness in the script with every line of dialogue, every plot development, every character action, and so on. "Inglourious Basterds" blends in with Tarantino's filmography--it's got all the Tarantino tropes--yet sticks out from all the others with it's superior artistic value.
