U.S. Rating: R
Should I start this short review saying that Quentin Tarantino is a mix of a psycho, weirdo and genious! I have watched most of his previous movies and wouldn't expect anything less that his personal touch and vision. As in his remarkable work as a director and producer in movies like Kill Bill I & II, Pulp Fiction, From Dust Till Dawn, Hostel, Sin City, Grindhouse, I knew that his personal touch in vision in history would turn this movie about the WWII a turn side-down, this time, as shown in the plot, where the hunters became the hunted. Who could ever think of making a movie about Nazis and Jews during WWII and create, produce and direct a plot where the Jews would kill hundreds of German Nazis and especially, Hitler! Only Tarantino! I laughed because even though my wife was excited to go and watch this movie, she never watched a movie directed or produced by Tarantino in the past... so she never knew how graphic he was on his images and scenes, especially on those ones involved with violent events. Great plot, interesting point of view of history and what an amazing cast! Totally recommended!
What did I like from this movie?
1. Totally enjoyed the role played by Christoph Waltz (Col Hans Landa). I laughed about his weird-psycho role and the turn around at the end of the movie. I totally believed he'd die... one way or another! Definitely the best role played in this movie.
2. I really enjoyed Tarantino's personal touch. As well as he did it with his two great movies Kill Bill, I really enjoyed the weird way to play the movie, by chapters! And how he went back on every individual's stories.
3. The scene at the bar, one of the great and funny ones.
4. Not mentioning Brad Pitt's role... amazing and funny. It was really funny when he was talking/interviewing the german actress, as well as the scene at the theater, when he was trying to talk Italian!
5. The french girl (owner of the cinema) played a really good role also.
6. I really enjoyed the way how Tarantino envolved so many different languages, keeping that personal touch of history in this movie.
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. I was expecting the french girl, Shosanna Dreyfus (Mélanie Laurent) , to see all the Germans dying by fire at her movie theater.
2. So disgusting the moment when they're cutting the hair off the dead Germans!
I would rate this movie with a 5/5
