My father fought in World War II -- he would have loved Inglourious Basterds

Rating: 10/10 (8 September 2009)

Somewhere in France, my father directed Canadian canon fire at a Nazi canon battery that was killing Allied soldiers. The Nazis spotted my father and fired a canon at him, blowing him and his radio man out of the 2nd floor of a farm house. My dad, although injured, crawled back into the farm house and continued directing the fire of his gun crew by radio until they took out that Nazi group and their guns.
I wish that dad could see Inglourious Basterds. In fact, I think that everyone of age should see this movie, because in World War II, mankind was scarred by the evil of the Nazis. Although I was born a year after the war, I discovered that I still have emotions about the events that almost killed my father, and I wasn't even there. Imagine the emotional scars of someone who lived through it.
Today, thanks to Quentin Tarantino, I feel happier - some repressed emotions have surfaced and dissipated. I hope that many others see this movie and feel better as a result.
I have enjoyed many movies over the years, but for me, Inglourious Basterds has raised the bar. No other movie has affected me this much. I rank it the best movie ever made, because it shines the spot light on the most evil event in Earth history, and actually helps to heal the wounds from that event - an amazing achievement for a movie!
