Quentin Tarantino, whom I thought had lost his touch, delivers the goods once again. Thank god. I was getting tired of all his anime and 70's retro shit. But this film is a fine return from all of his hobbies. I'm sure he'll never read this and even if he does, who cares?
The thing that is wonderful about his films is the quirky humor thrown in during odd and often life threatening situations. We as an audience have become so numb to violence and death on screen that Tarantino can make a joke out of some very serious matters. Here he takes a group of renegade Jewish soldiers in the American army during WWII and turns their story into a funny and compelling film.
This film was nominated for 8 Academy Awards and for good reason. It's an awesome movie! The cinematography is incredible, the sound track is great, and the acting is impeccable. Especially, Christopher Waltz who won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.
The whole premise is that this band of Jewish soldiers led by Brad Pitts character, Lt. Aldo Raine, travels across Europe terrorizing German soldiers and scalping them in the process. Pitt neither looks, or sounds Jewish, but that's what makes his character even more amusing. His performance is the second best in the film, and together with the rest of the cast this movie is definitely worth watching. Queue It now! Don't wait.
