A new twist on escapism

Rating: 8/10 (1 September 2009)

What a crafty sidebar to mix historical fact with ideological fiction. Who hasn't daydreamed about a world where Hitler was caught and brutally killed? As opposed of course to the limp dick fashion in which he actually checked out. What a beautiful fantasy to imagine all of the third Reich's principals bar-b-que'd in unison instead of slipping off to Argentina and anonymity.
Brilliant, that's the adjective best describing Tarantino's use of historic escapism embedded in this beautiful piece of cinema.
The acting is incredible, the sense of closure in the form of slaughtering one of the most heinous villains of history is brilliant, brilliant!
