INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS PREVIEW: Tarantino’s Macaroni Combat
Quentin is bringing us something the world hasn’t really seen in theatres since the 70’s — a spaghetti western style World War II movie set in Nazi Germany behind enemy lines. With Brad Pitt… that part’s new. With a great cast of international talent, at least three languages and more Nazi scalping than you can put in a single movie trailer, it looks like Tarantino’s latest is a sight to behold. At least, that’s what the folks at the Cannes Film Fest thought. What about you? Let us know what you’re expecting! Another piece of genius from the world’s biggest movie fan? Or a disappointing over-the-top action movie from a screenwriter whose greatest asset lies in dialogue?

Hey guys ,
love your views ,
i had posted this same thing on imdb.com
please tell me if i am correct or not, i had only one little problem with the film, OK forgive me for my ignorance regarding Tarintino’s philosophy behind the movie, i know that the movie was more fiction and less fact, but not to be judgemental, i know that the Natzis deserve what they got, but from the film perspective, apart from the beginning (shooting the floor in the first chapter) , there was no ..mmm…how should i put it ” proof to the viewers that the Natzis were bad and deserved what they got ” by my honest view, (keeping actual history aside), i believe Tarintino showed the Jews more violent and merciless rather than the other way around in the film ( i.e. the scalping ).
But non the less i loved the movie , the characters were superb, and let me just say that i believe Col. Hans Landa ( Waltz ) to be the Best Tarintino Villain of all time.
Other of favourite characters were Pitt ( Lt. Aldo ), Fassbender ( Lt. Archie Hicox )And it was funny to see Mike Myers in the movie…!!!
see ya !
