So I saw Inglourious Basterds this past weekend and it was a couple of hours well spent. Alternating between gore and wry humor, Basterds blurs your emotional perception. Tarantino also faithfully uses foreign languages so that when two people are speaking French it is actually French (rather than implied French) and the English appears in subtitles, same with German and Italian, etc. This seemingly small device makes the movie much more stimulating and engrossing. In addition to all the beautiful language, Basterds utilizes quite an awesome soundtrack ranging from orchestral, vintage soul and western to some rocking David Bowie. Like all Tarantino films, the music really helps propel the rich visual imagery. The imagery, by the way, really recalls the French New Wave. Pretty cool stuff. You should see the movie.
