Inglourious Basterds

Still way behind. Like I said before, I have no drive anymore, at least, not while I'm physically in my parents' house. I mean, I do set up plenty of occasions to get out, but when I'm actually here, I'm lazy as I've ever been. Ugh.

Okay, so roughly three weeks ago I finally went to see Quentin Tarantino's new film Inglourious Basterds, and let me just say, it was really amazing. It's easily Taratino's most-serious movie, at least as far as I'm aware, to the point that it could almost pass as a legitimate (if significantly inaccurate) WWII film. The closest film I could offer to compare it with is Das Leben der Anderen, because although the time periods aren't the same, the overall feeling isn't too far off (albeit with a significant Tarantino twist).

Anyway, I loved that the film was largely subtitled, I loved the development and release of tension throughout the film, I loved the acting (especially that of the primary villain...who is NOT Hitler, I might add), and I loved the plot. Easily one of my top movies of the year, and very-likely in my Top 5. Glad I saw it in the theatre (I barely made it...saw it at the dollar theatre!).
