Tarantinos Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (30 October 2016)

I adore Quentin Tarantino, he's a filmmaker like no other, the way is he able to create almost entirely dialogue driven films that have no down time or boredom is what makes him one of the best directors of all time and Inglorious Basterds is my favourite film of his and one of my favourites of all time. The plot of this movie is simple: 8 Jewish soldiers set out to kill every Nazi in sight. It's simple and it's impossible not to get behind the deaths of some of histories evil human beings. But there's just one Problem, Christoph Waltz is the way of them killing he entire Mazi command and Waltz gives an absolutely Incredible performance which ranks up in the greatest performances of all time. Theirs not a single scene where he's not intriguing or down right terrifying. Brad Pitt also gives one of his greatest performances here not only is he really funny and an entertaining character buts he also really unpredictable and really cruel which just make him an overall better character. This movie contain some of the best building tension ever put to screen for example the scene in the bar that just has you on the edge of your seat and still manages to leave you startled when everyone starts shooting and again it's all through dialogue. This is not a war movie it's a Tarantino movie it's not trying to be a historical movie it's trying to be a tension filled Masterpiece and the proof of this comes from the films ending. Not only is the movie within the movie incredibly well executed but the events surrounding the final assassination of Hitler and the high command all comes together perfectly it's feels earned and I really admired Tarantinos choice to change history. It's give the film as a whole a more satisfying conclusion.
If your looking for a war movie this is not for you but if your looking for a movie with incredible performances and tension filled sequences then this is for you and is in my opinion Tarantinos greatest achievement.
