Inglourious Basterds is a 2009 fictional war film directed and written by Quentin Tarantino. The film takes during World War 2 in Germany and follows multiple storylines that eventually combine at the end of the film. The film stars Brad Pitt, Christoph Waltz, Eli Roth and Diane Kruger. Christoph Waltz would be win a number of awards for his performance in the film.
The film focuses on fictional assassination attempts on Adolf Hitler during World War 2. One plot involves a group of American Jews led by Brad Pitt's character, Aldo Raine. The other involves Jewish French cinema owner. Another important character in the film is Christoph Waltz's character, Hans Landa, who hunts for Jews in Nazi occupied territories.
Like most Tarantino films this film has a great mix of comedy, violence and great acting. Christoph Waltz is amazing in this film. He steals the show from the other actors. The rest of the actors do a great job as well. The violence is graphic but in a somewhat comedic way. If you are familiar with Tarantino films you will not be surprised with this film. It is a typical Tarantino film except taking place in World War 2. If you like his previous movies you will love it.
One of the best films ever made!
