it just go to show how wrong you can be . i have not expect to like this film . i be disappoint by both the kill bill film ( although i prefer the second ) and death proof ( although it be well in the shorter cut of the double bill release ) . i love reservoir dog and admire pulp fiction and think that jackie brown be tarantino most mature piece of film make technically his most superior include the last great performance elicit from robert de niro . since then it seem to me while his film have be okay ( i haven not hat them ) he have be tread water in referential and reverential and self indulgent juvenilia . then i read the script last year for inglourious basterds and i hat it . sure it have some typical qt flourish and the opening scene be undeniably powerful . there be a couple of great character . but on page it be more juvenile rubbish and largely ruin by the largess of the uninteresting basterds of the title . it make me seriously contemplate not see the film . the trailer do nothing to convince me . i only change by mind when i have the opportunity to see the film with a tarantino q and a following in london . i figure it would be worth endure to hear him in q and a a i know from interview how entertain he can be in person . so little be i prepare for the sheer exuberant fun and brilliance of inglourious basterds . easily mr tarantino best work since jackie brown it be a triumph . yes the reference be there but they do not interfere with the story and they be not the driving force . yes eli roth be stunt cast but he work fine and with little to do but look aggressive and and do nothing to hurt the film a i have fear . while i admire mr tarantino for use stuntwoman zoe bell a herself in death proof in order to amp up the exhilaration of the major stunt scene her lack of any acting ability in a key role be a problem for the film . the same could be say of tarantino own appearance in several film and especially robert rodriguez from dusk till dawn and which tarantino write . what really make this work be how big it be . the spaghetti western vibe to much of the style and dialogue and performance be wonderfully over the top without descend too far into the cartoon quality of kill bill . the violence be so big . the audacity so big . brad pitt be so big . in the trailer the hitler moment and pitt performance bother me but in the context of the film they be hilarious . pitt be actually brilliant here and exactly what he need to be . he be mifune bluster samurai in yojimbo and he be robards cheyenne from once upon a time in the west and there be a very james coburn vibe to him and and of course a suitably lee marvin edge . christoph waltz ( who i do not previously know ) and melanie laurent ( who i first notice in a brilliant french language british short film by sean elli ) be sensational and i expect to see both use a lot more in the future . tarantino have clearly not lose his eye for casting and which seem to desert him in death proof . waltz be equally large in his performance . chilling and yet theatrical . he be fonda from ouatitw and van cleef from good and the bad and the ugly . and laurent be suitably cardinale innocence but tough and a fighter . they both dazzle here . that every member of the cast get the fun to be have from what they be do while not indulge themselves in just have fun and try to get laughs help tremendously . the laugh and there be load come organically . only mike myers come close to tip the wink and push it too far but his scene be reign in just enough with the help of a fantastic michael fassbender who seem pull directly from the mold of attenborough great escape leader . all the actor shine and tarantino throw in wonderful flourish and but one that work with the story . the introduction of schweiger hugo stiglitz be a riot . after a sensational slow burn opening and a glorious intro to those inglourious basterds the pace never let up and over two and half hour fly by . it also look beautiful and mark this a a return to real film make rather than just self indulgent silliness . the musical choice and a always and be inspire from morricone on . the film be audacious and hilarious . after a summer when nearly every film have disappoint me it come a a huge surprise that the real fun and entertaining and but also involve and impressive film should be this one and when i would never have believe it from script form . welcome back qt .
