A Glorious flick

Rating: 6/10 (9 June 2011)

A Glorious flick - from the editing, to the sound, to the stage production, to the acting, to the costumes to everything else, this film is simply marvellous. It's got heaps more tension than any other suspense driven thriller on the market and it also entails some brilliant dark comedy in the form of Christopher Waltz' character Col. Hans Lander and also the brilliant Brad Pitt as Lt. Aldo Raine. How Tarrintino comes up with this stuff is just beyond my comprehension completely as his writing (like all of his other films), is ingenious and the way he then directs that writing is simply incredible.
I have given this film 8/10 (4*) and not 10/10 (5*) as I wanted a better ending than the one we got. However, in saying that, the ending is good and is also in keeping with the rest of the film i.e it all ties in.
All in all, like I said before, this film is marvellous - it's funny, brutal, charming and malicious, whilst at the same time it produces some rather poignant and beautifully shot sequences that can only be described as nothing less than breathtaking and will, in no doubt, bring a tear to the eye of those inclined to be moved by vivid and enigmatic film making at its very best.
So, to conclude, watch this film - it's Tarrintino's best effort since Pulp Fiction and that's saying a lot.
