'Inglorious Basterds' stars Brad Pitt and is directed by Quentin Tarantino. The movie was really entertaining and enjoyable to watch. However, I have put off writing about it for two weeks now because of some fundamental problems with it.
First off, who mis-spells a title on purpose?? Bastards!!! Are they implying a dual meaning or just being different? I don't really care... It just bothers me.
But the major thing that really really bothers me is that I keep foreseeing those stupid people on Jay Leno. They're on the street asking them basic knowledge questions. They all respond that Hitler was killed in a movie theater!! Not how it really happened, people!
The major problem is that it's so well done that there will be an entire generation of stupid people that think it's factual. Generally in fictional period pieces, the characters are just ordinary people; not Adolph Hitler. This bothers me a lot! Fiction with an infamous murderer as a character??
BUT, 'Inglorious Basterds' was very well done; story, acting, locations, effects... it was all good. I've never been able to say that Brad Pitt was Oscar-worthy. He's still not. He does a really good job, but just not great. There were also many other really good performances.
As for the kids, you should pre-screen. There was some freaky, unexpected violence that kind of disturbed me. It might be ok for mature teenagers, but you should watch it first.
Really good watch even though I had major issue with it!
