Inglorious Basterds | A whole different vision of WWII

**DISCLAIMER: MAY CONTAIN A BIT OF SPOILERS OF THE MOVIE**

One of my favorite movies of all time has to be INGLORIOUS BASTERDS...just because it gives the whole World War II an alternative ending.

Directed by Quentin Tarantino, the movie focuses on two sides of the story, trying to achieve the same goal...killing Adolf Hitler and stopping the Nazi faction. 

It's nice to see the whole plot of both sides; they all have their own particular personality that makes them interesting...Hell, even the SS Colonel Hans Landa, who was part of the Nazi Faction was really well portrayed by actor Christopher Waltz. In my opinion, his acting was brilliant. It's one of those characters that, even though they're evil, you can't help to like. Full of sarcasm and witty comments.



The first faction was a group of Jewish-American soldiers, with Lieutenant Aldo Raine as their leader, to infiltrate the enemy lines in the Germany Occupied France. Brad Pitt took that role, and I liked how he portrayed the character. I'm not much of a Brad Pitt fan, but in this movie, he was cool. His character makes a contract with these soldiers...They OWE Raine 100 Nazi Scalps, cut right off 100 nazi soldiers' dead bodies. 

Yeah...that's pretty much it.

But my favorite character from this group has to be Donny Donowitz, nicknamed "The Bear Jew"...he's just a badass with a bat, just eager to beat the crap out of Nazi Soldiers. Eli Roth's performance was awesome. Even though he doesn't talk that much, sometimes actions say more than words.


The second plot, however, involves a young French-Jewish girl named Shosanna Dreyfus. Her family gets slaughtered by Hans Landa, and she wants revenge against the Nazi party. She owns a little cinema where, through random chance, she meets a Nazi Hero soldier, Frederich Zoller, who falls in love for her. But the vengeance is stronger than any feelings she might develop for him.


To sum it up, it's an awesome film, if you like action-packed, history-related movies, with that Tarantino twist. I fully recommend it.
