A Wonderful Surprise from QT

Rating: 10/10 (22 March 2020)

I don't consider myself a Tarantino fan but I'm rethinking that now. I realize my distrust stems from the level of violence in some of his movies. I approached this a bit warily as I am well studied in the historical events of the time.
About half way through I remembered that I really liked Inglorious Bastards. I spent the bulk of the movie dreading the ending until the last 20 minutes.
This is both a love letter to an era that is long gone and a wish for a better ending for a sad period in our history. Other reviewers have adequately described the genius of Pitt and DiCaprio in this movie and I wholeheartedly agree. The casting, makeup, set decoration and the soundtrack-OMG The Soundtrack! All are perfection.
I am so glad that the ending was a surprise.
