McCarthy, making his screenwriting debut and Scott interweave the author's characteristic wit

Review: Inglourious Basterds

.

I decided to do my first posting with my favorite movie.

Surely this one decent film is my favorite one.

Because this movie strongly imprinted Quentin Tarantino on my mind.
After I watched this, I became a huge fan of him.

He is one of the most famous Hollywood movie director and one of my favorite directors also.

I will separately post about him later.

It seems like a war film, but in the manner of Tarantino.
Everyone knows about Nazi and there are many movies about World War II. 
But this one is a bit different from historical facts.
Some might say that the setting is too unrealistic or excessive. But he changed it wittily with his cinematic imagination and that makes the style of Tarantino movie.

I think this film is perfect in lines, character setting, and even image.
There are four languages in the movie, French, English, German, and even Italian.
He is good at making a chatter scene but this time, he did it by crossing the line between different languages. 
He made a tension and fun in situations with languages and it was wonderful.

Quentin Tarantino is a well-known movie maniac.
He is showing his love for movie in this film.

Heroine Shoshanna(Melanie Laurent) is a theater owner.
She massacres Nazi by blowing up the theater with the door closed.
Tarantino takes vengeance on Nazi with movie. 
He even explains about old films and projection system.
And other trivial settings are related to movie.

The acting of Brad Pitt and Christoph Waltz was very impressive. Pitt plays Lieutenant Aldo Raine, a Southern redneck who assembles a squad to hunt down and kill the Germans. His funny pronunciation rang in my ears for a long time. 

And Waltz as a cackling and multi-lingual German colonel made a terrible villain of all time.
