Inglorious Basterds

"Once upon a time in Nazi occupied France", served as the tagline of Quentin Tarantino's Inglorious Basterds, which premiered during the 62nd International Cannes Film Festival. Just as the other Tarantino's movies, Inglorious Basterds may startled someone because of it violence action. But still, Tarantino did amazing works in this movie. Every moments works like a charm and your feeling will ride up and down very fast just like a roller-coaster ride.

The scene open, with a part called Chapter 1, shows us the countryside of the Nazi-occupied France. A farmer, Perrier LaPadite (Denis Menochet), shown chopping woods when a German officer (Christopher Waltz) comes. They both come inside the house, and the German introduces himself fluently in French as Col. Hans Landa. After they had a few talks, Landa mention did LaPadite knows his nickname. "The Jew Hunter" he said. Shortly after, he calls his men and unload their magazines toward the wooden floor. A young girl survived the shootout and run. Just as Landa aims his gun he said, "Au Revoir Shosanna!" and let her go away.

From the scene, we get a glimpse of what nazi-officer personalities in Tarantino's way, which is a very much different than the other Nazi movies, and also the keen eyes of Tarantino who put Christopher Waltz at his best performance. Waltz himself fluent in English, French, and German. His powerful performance also gave him Best Actor Award at the Cannes Film Festival.

And just like the other Tarantino's creation. The plot are very much unpredictable and also in the same time enjoyable. You'll scream for the head-bashing, and you'll laugh seeing the bullet ridden body of Hitler. Closing word, it is a glorious end for the Basterds.
