Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds is his version of World War II, and it’s nothing like the history books. The movie follows multiple storylines, but it all leads to one goal—taking down the Nazis. Brad Pitt’s character, Aldo Raine, leads a group of Jewish-American soldiers called “The Basterds.” They hunt Nazis with brutal precision. But the real standout is Christoph Waltz as Colonel Hans Landa. He is charming, terrifying, and unpredictable. Tarantino uses words like weapons, each as brutal as the preceding one. The film’s final act rewrites history in the most Tarantino way possible. It’s violent, over-the-top, and satisfying.
