Tarantino's Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (21 September 2013)

Quentin himself considers this film to be his masterpiece, his Magnum Opus. Being written over several years' time, Tarantino manages to create an alternate Universe in which history takes a dramatic opposite turn from the reality we know.
Christoph Waltz's character, Hans Landa, is a creepy dude but he's also a genius. All throughout the movie, whenever he came on screen, I found myself tensing up worried what he was about to do next because just when you thought you knew what was going on, he was right there to smash your reality.
The Basterd's were a fantastic bunch with vibrant personalities that made them so easy to fall in love with. Some may be disgusted with themselves once they find themselves falling in love with these brutish killers. Others, like me, will feel a sense of validation by these brave men who are performing a special duty that takes a great amount of courage.
This truly is Quentin Tarantino's best film to date. Pulp Fiction will forever remain as his trademark, but Inglourious Basterds is what made him a legend.
