Inglorious Bastards | A Review


Inglorious Bastards is filled with the best dialogue Quentin Tarantino has written since Pulp Fiction. And most of it isn’t even performed in English. The most ingenious part of the Inglorious Bastards is its use of languages in its story telling. Subtitle use in WW II movies is almost always a must, but never has there been such a tactful use of them in this movie, allowing for some of the most suspenseful and intricate dialogue moments seen out of any film in the infamous Tarantino 's career. The movie is stolen away from the more notable actors by the Col. Hans Landa, played by Christoph Waltz, who channels the spirit of Colombo for many of his interrogations during the film. In fact, it may be a bit of a mislead from the movie's trailer that let's you think that Pitt's Bastards are the focus of the story, when in fact the characters who populate this WW II fairytale are, as a whole, all Bastards.
