A couple of scenes to be proud of.

Rating: 8/10 (3 June 2010)

The first big scene and the final scene are quite remarkable and are not to be missed. You will lose count on the number of deaths but that's the Tarantino style. Hold tight when you see a group of Jews hiding in a cellar. Grit your teeth when they are peppered with bullets from above. Rejoice when you see a young girl escaping from the Nazis. Her day of revenge will come.
The girl grows up awaiting that special moment. When her aunt and uncle are murdered, the big cinema in town is left for her to manage. The high ranking Nazi soldiers plan a picture evening when films of past victories are to be screened. During the show the girl and her assistant projectionist set fire to old stocks of cellulose nitrate films. All exits are locked. The time has come. Now we see one of the great scenes in cinema history.
Brad Pitt plays the role of an American soldier bent on killing as many Nazis as possible and scalping them to instill fear into the enemy, His murderous trainees leap to the task. Revenge is sweet. Brad Pitt's adopted accent is both annoying and irritating I think he's wrongly cast.
This film keeps reminding us of the past horrors in WW2, difficult to forget, difficult to forgive. The scenes depicted are not exaggerated. Such atrocities happened. You may wish to look away from some scenes. There are some very tense moments. However, if by some chance you want a short nap choose the middle part of the film when interest wanes.
