Inglourious Basterds

Just got back from seeing Inglorious Basterds. I thought it was a very solid film. It's definitely not for the faint of heart. It has several obvious Tarantino-isms. I liked the vocal cameos from Samuel L. Jackson and Harvey Keitel. I'd recommend it if you like his other films. Who else has seen it?

****NOTE: I used the search feature and didn't find anything so if there's already a thread...my bad.****
I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

    REALLY looking forward to this flick!
    love all of tarantino's films, so i am sure to love this too. none of his work is for the faint-of-heart :shock: that's for sure, and i wouldn't expect a film set in WWII wdirected by tarantino to be any different! probably be seeing it this sunday afternoon. didn't want to see it opening weekend, hate the opening crowds!
    Stay with me...
    Let's just breathe...

    Even though it was fiction, as the son of a Holocaust survivor, I cheered during some of the violent killing scenes, and felt a bit empowered!

    Yeah, without spoiling the movie, I think they got tired of seeing the same old Nazi movies with the same old ending. :D

    film was talked about in the movie thread but glad you made a separate one ...

    like i said in that thread i think there is an oscar for christopher waltz ... who plays hans landa ... to pull off 4 languages and his sinisterness hasn't been seen in some time since ralph fiennes in schindlers list ...

    great film in my opinion ... it moves a bit slow and with 3 primary languages being used - you have to settle into this gem

    Exactly! The reality will never change, but it was nice to experience a more favorable fantasy!

    Been wanting to see this and since it's gotten great reviews I'm pretty sure I'll go this weekend.

    Yay!

    I think it was just briefly showing that they had a more than professional relationship. Wasn't she also bad at translations, which was her job? ...as if she was his translator not for her translating abilities?

    Absolutely loved it.

    One of the best films I've seen in a long time. Christopher Waltz was amazing. The opening scene was so intense. Brad Pitt was really good too. When he was speaking Italian I almost cried with laughter!!

    It's knocking on the door of my top 10 favourites of all time already.

    See it on the big screen too. It's worth it.
    I can't go the library anymore, everyone STINKS!!

    it was just funny. that and when they introduced one of the bastards and the paper headline (i think that what it was) popped up. :lol: they just did not belong, yet they were perfect. :lol:

    I loved it. I will have to see it again to find out where it ranks as far as my favorite Tarantino films. I will say that after seeing it I wish Tarantino would do a western, Sergio Leone-style. I think he could definitely bring something extremely interested to the genre of westerns.

    I will go with JJJ on this. As a jew, there was something about it that was so awesome and fancy free! Great casting! Christopher Waltz has to get the Oscar. Brad Pitt is a great actor when he is not the center piece of the movie (12 monkeys, Fight Club and this).

    There were parts that I had trouble with (like the final scene in the projection room) but all in all great great experience!

    Ha! Me and some friends had this discussion the other day! Soooo much better when he's not the center of the movie. Good call.

    i saw this yesterday- it was a really good movie. It had class- which a lot of these newer films just don't have. Its pace is a bit slow, as someone said earlier. But you just have to go with it. Yes, Christopher Waltz was excellent.

    he acted in a japanese western... sukiyaki western django
    it was kind of tarantino-esque... if that counts for anything.

    christoph waltz was amazing; definitely deserves a nomination.

    the only thing i would ask for is more nazi killing. i mean eli roth plays the "bear jew" and is known for swinging a club at the heads of nazis, yet we only saw him do this once.

    and...SPOILER ALERT DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THE MOVIE...





    i just wish that there was more climax to hitler being killed. i thought something with eli roth swinging his head off or something of that sorts would have been appropriate.







    other than that the movie was great. great traditional tarentino long drawn-out conversations, leading up to a giant climax.



    favorite scenes: opening scene, bar scene, basterds introduction.

    "do you mind if I smoke my pipe?" ---hans landa.
    Beavis: All my friends are brown and red? What does that mean?
    Butthead: It means that his friends are like turds and that they like suck.
    Beavis: Heh heh. Oh yeah. Yeah! Get those spoons out of my face before I shove them up your butt!
    Butthead: Huh huh.

    Agreed...

    and I disagree, they didn't need to show him do that more then once, not because i am squeamish or think it was over the top but just because the point was made, you have seen him do it, move on with the movie. It would just be overkill.

    I've just seen it today. Tarantino is just a crazy mofo ... he just plays with History and he does it great.
    It may not be his best movie but it has to be seen. Some people can find it too slow but some dialogues are hilarious and Christoph Waltz is just a crazy fucking Nazi. He got the best actor award in Cannes festival this year for this role and now I know why.

    loved it, loved it, loved it!
    start to finish....just thought it was great. i love tarantino's film so i expected to love it, but it really exceeded my expectations, which is rare. making a film about WWII part comedy is just genius. :lol: oh and the truly evil nazi....hell yes....brilliant! brad pitt had me in stiches as well, i LOVE him as a comedic actor. just soooooo good! 8-)
