Inglourious Basterds

This was brilliant. It is a masterpiece. If anyone knows me, I complain every year about the amount of WWII holocaust movies, but this one was different, edgy and hilarious which is why I loved it so much. Only Tarantino would present a movie like this. I loved that it had chapters and I loved all of the characters. This was just brilliant writing. Now for my criticism... the music. Of everything Tarantino he really botched this part up, which is always something he is so good at doing. Shame on him for using a piece he used in Kill Bill. In fact, he used the same style of spaghetti Western and Zamphir, which was awesome and fresh and new in Kill Bill, but was not quite right for Basterds. I think he should have used music or style from this time or used classical scores. The movie would have been at perfection if he would have fixed the music. BUT in the first chapter in the Frenchman's home, the end of the scene with the build-up of tension, the music was breathtaking. Other than that, the music fell short everywhere else. Christoph Waltz is brilliant. He is my new favourite actor. This movie is his American debut and from now on I think he should be doing American films. I don't want to say that this is Tarantino's best film, since the Kill Bill's are masterpieces, but he has refined his dialogue so that his monologues don't babble on like they sometimes do. For this he has refined his writing craft. I best describe it as Woody Allen's new work (VCB). I love this movie, which makes me want to rewatch the Kill Bill's. On the other hand, it may be awhile before anything this good comes out of Tarantino again ie. Death Proof may be repeated again. This is a must see, and although it's genre is a War drama, I see it more like a comedy meets WWII but with taste Quentin Tarantino style.
