Plot with a lot of Holes !!!

Rating: 4/10 (24 November 2018)

It's a good fantasy movie for those of us who would have liked to see Hitler punished for his war crimes. But reality laughs at this far-fetched tale. The climax shows Hitler and his top brass in a movie theatre with all but 2 guards, leaving the members of the Inglorious Basterds freedom to run amok in the theatre doing what they please. Really? Megalomaniacs such as Hitler are always paranoid about their security and would have a battalion in and around the theatre protecting the vicinity at all costs. Secondly what seemed silly is Hans Landa (Christopher Waltz) making a deal with the Americans, without having any bargaining chip in the hand. After the Americans had won the war, they had no reason to follow through conditions put by a known war criminal. It's like the law giving the hostage taker what he wants after he lets his hostages go. Absurd !! I guess Hans Landa was depending on the strict scout's honor code. Tarantino didn't think that far and he didn't think the audience would either. Lastly, Plastic surgery was very much prevalent in the 40's so Hans Landa, after being defaced with the mark of a swastika could have it easily removed. So, what's the point? All in all, childish and not a very believable take on an historical event.
