Best war movie ever made!

Rating: 10/10 (29 November 2011)

The 2009 hit film, Iglourious Basterds directed by Quentin Tarantino was a movie of great wonder. Unlike any other WW II films that are more like a documentary, this movie bent the truth. Tarantino believed that this movie will even be better than Dirty Dozen or Guns of Navarone. He spent over 10 years in writing the script and it became a big hit grossing over $320,000,000. The film's plot talks about the adventure of 9 Jewish-Americans that take role in dethroning Adolf Hitler and the Third Reich. We all know that Hitler committed suicide, but in this film, the American Basterds become successful in not only dethroning Hitler, but Joseph Goebbels, Martin Bormann, and a numerous amount of Germany's top ranked army-men and police officers.
The plot makes the movie stand out the most.The film starts out as the Nazi's are rummaging through France to find every Jew and try to arrest them. You may think that the movie follows WW II in chronological order, but it doesn't. The plot makes it unique to understand the movie because it doesn't only show the German side of World War II. The movie only gave a small gaze towards the lives of English and also French people. The plot has 3 sub stories, one about SS Colonel Hans Landa aka "The Jew Hunter", a ruthless Nazi officer that goes all over Germany and France in search of every Jew. The other sub story talks about a young woman named Shosanna Dreyfus where her family were killed by Landa's raid. The 3rd subset talks about the American Basterds and how they would assault nearby Germans, skin them, kill them, and move on to the next. It all meets in the end how Shosanna premiers the Nazi movie: "Stolz der Nation" or "Nation's Pride". The basterds get there and their main priority is to kill Hitler and all of the higher ranks while Shosann's main priority is to burn the whole movie theater to the ground as revenge for what they have done to her family. Landa knows about the basterd's presence in the movie theater and arrests the main basterd: First Lieutenant Aldo Raine. Him and Private First Class Utivich get transported to German authority while Landa let's sabotage by the basterds slide by. In the end, Landa betrays the Germans and sides with Raine, but Landa get's cuffed and was knifed a swastika to his head.
These main events helped the plot play a vital role by both allowing the truth and lie to make it the movie spicy. Without having a good plot, the movie would have never been understood and there would be no suspense in any of the scenes. Although other people didn't like this movie because of it's plot and bending the truth of WW II, they understand creativity and putting in white lies that make it both funny and interesting. The elements seem to make sense and the theme also makes perfect sense. Therefore, if they both correlate, then the film is valid and should be understandable by everybody. Instead of just putting drama, fighting, and blood, Tarantino puts comedy in between them to make it look a whole lot better. Therefore, good job Quentin, the movie is well made.
