Review of Inglourious Basterds (2009) by Nadezhda Y — 29 Apr 2017

"Inglourious Basterds" is the sixth film of the highly worshiped Quentin Tarantino, despite being overvalued, Tarantino is a spectacular film director, and his sixth film not let me lie. We have here a rereading of the second war ala Tarantino, to where the Nazis are hunted, first I would like to talk about the first 20 minutes of this movie are fabulous, yes, the first scene lasts 20 minutes, is long, I know, but she did not seasick, quite the contrary, you delighting in every second of it, quite the Christoph Waltz acting work, which is quite spectacular in the film, completely stealing the Brad Pitt scene in the movie, the soundtrack not only that scene, but whole film is spectacular, really, in terms of soundtrack, Tarantino is unique.

The photograph of the film is really unbelievable, but this first scene is something surreal, has a color palette with lots of black, gray, white, but has a strong red, it is very balanced, it's really beautiful, all the merits here for Robert Richardson and Sally Menke, not counting the camera angles, it looks like the camera in Tarantino movies is exactly positioned in the place it should be.

Well, since we talk about performances, as we talk about photography, we have spoken soundtrack, go to the strength of Quentin, the script, the script is great, a little confused, and some other elongated scenes (like the tavern) and does not have much of those characteristic dialogues Quentin (will not be the opening scene), but it's a good script, which tells a story of revenge to global levels, and creates a character that is already in the history of contemporary cinema, Hans Landa , who speaks French, Italian, German and English and let me terrified enemies with a painted humor, humor that is very well applied in the film.

Quentin ends the film with the phrase "That was my masterpiece" I disagree with him, Inglourious Basterds not even among the top 3 Tarantino for me, but no doubt is a great movie.
