Inglourious Basterds

December 20, 2009

I don’t know if I got the spelling right, but I am quite certain I like the movie much.

This is no attempt to review the film. These are just thoughts that came to mind during and after watching the film. My general impression was that I felt like reading a book. Probably that’s how much I appreciated the story. Usually, in films, I feel that this and that are missing, which is understandable due to limited time. But in books, there is hardly an excuse for an incomplete book, even open-ended films or a book from a series is complete—if it is a good book.

Inglourious Basterds presents an alternative universe where the Nazis are the hunted and involves intertwining plots that would keep your attention to the screen, to say the least. It has a cast of good actors and a talented director, Quentin Tarantino.
