You already know the plot. It's 1941, the Nazi Regime has occupied France. Brad Pitt plays Lt. Aldo Raine, in charge of 8 Jewish-American vigilante Nazi Headhunters-the basterds. In vintage Tarantino fashion, the basterds aim to strike fear through brutal killings of their enemies.
Inglorious Basterds has a side plot developing along with Lt. Raine and his posse, involving a cinema owner-Shoshanna. Her family was killed by the Nazis and karma has given her an opportunity to avenge their deaths with a theater full of the 3rd Reich. These two subplots meet each other in an ending that can be summed up in one word- "WOW!"
Brad Pitt was amazing! Pitt has some incredible lines that are sure to end up in pop nomenclature...Oh yes, yes yes! IB was a harmonious blend of comedy, action, and drama claiming it the Fredstrom's favorite flick of the summer, favorite Brad Pitt performance, and favorite Tarantino movie (pending his viewing of Pulp Fiction). Be ready to read, most of the movie is subtitles, and don't forget the awkward Mike Myers cameo!
Inglorious Basterds earns a cool 8 Picasso's
