Well, this movie is so different than the previous versions of WWII movies coz American Jewish are shown heroes, and their heroic activities are portrayed like Daniel Craig starrer Defiance but unlike Adrien Brody starrer The Pianist. People who loved but cried o'er Liam Neeson starrer Schindler's List, now is the time to take revenge from the Nazis !
Inglorious Bastards is set in the mid of WWII in Nazi occupied France, where a young Jewish girl Shosanna Dreyfus's family is killed by Col Hans Landa and she witnesses the slaughter and eventually escapes. During this time, a group of Jewish-American soldiers who were known as "The Basterds" used to brutally kill Nazis and spread their fear among them. After a few years, a German War hero Pvt. Fredrick Zoller takes interest in Shosanna,who now owns a movie theater. Pvt. Fredrick wanted the movie based on his heroic deed to be screened at her theater where all the Nazi top-notch officials will be present. Hearing this, she agrees to it so that she could kill all of them by burning the theater down. This news went into the ears of the Basterds, led by Lt. Aldo Raine. So, the Basterds as well as Shosanna both tries to relinquish their thirst for revenge through their own ways, without the knowledge of the other. While doing so, Nazi Col. Hans uses his knowledge and experience to unroot the minds after the revenge-cum-conspiracy by them. There comes some twists and turns, quite unlike many movies so far, and there is the most appropriate ending to the movie.
Were u waiting for me to tell you that who was killed and who was saved? Comeon! utilize your money/pocket-money dear ones, n watch the Inglorious Bastards.
Well, as all my friends may not be knowing who is Quentin Tarantino (who is actually the writer and director of this movie), should think him as Yash Raj + Subhash Ghai + Ram Gopal Verma . He has given the most tremendous percentage Blockbusters of Hollywood with the names like Reservoir Dogs (1992), Pulp Fiction (1994), Kill Bill 1 & 2 (2003, 2004), Sin City (2005), Grind House (2007) and Death Proof (2007). So, next time you know about a movie written-directed by Quentin Tarantino, do rush to the nearest movie theatre n watch it!
I forgot to give ratings to the movie
Its 4.8/5 .. 0.8 is added because of the awesome ending of the movie!..n yes! Do not watch unless you don't have a subtitles along with you, no matter how good you're at English (rahoge to Indian hi na ..jk)!!! The movie language is as confusing as the movie The fallen! *Wish! if you've watched the movie The Fallen*
