Inglourious Basterds [Blu-ray]

クエンティン・タランティーノ監督の2009年作品。 これで観るのは2回目。 ぶっ飛んだお話にしっかりとした演出に映像。 そして強烈な個性むき出しのブラッド・ピットはじめとする役者たち。 滅茶面白いですな。 最近、映画の見方が厳しくなって僕の中で面白く感じる映画が少なくなってはいるが、 やっぱりクエンティン・タランティーノ監督は凄いね。

O filme é top demais um dos melhores que já vê porém tive que fazer a devolução pois não tinha nem legenda em português, para àqueles que querem comprar fica o alerta

L image est très belle

Una de las mejores películas de este gran director que es Tarantino, ya hacía bastante tiempo que la quería para la colección y a un super precio, la calidad tanto del bluray disc como del UHD son impresionantes

This is my second favorite Tarantino movie (after the legendary "Pulp Fiction"). In fact, IMO this is the best movie he has done SINCE Pulp Fiction (Jackie Brown was very good but a little too slow paced for my taste; Kill Bill I and II were disastrous, IMO; and I am probably one of the few who hated Django because some of the scenes in that movie were so unsavory they made me physically ill). What did I like about this movie? Firstly there are the performances, several of them from new, breakout stars: Christopher Waltz, of course, is the film's true revelation. He plays SS Colonel Landa whose task it is to hunt for Jewish fugitives in Nazi occupied France. Waltz plays the character in a very interesting fashion. He never gives the impression that he truly hates Jewish people and wants them eradicated. He additionally does not give the impression that he is intensely loyal to the Nazi party and wants soley to see its goals carried out (as was the case with Joseph Goebbels, also featured in the film). He is simply is a professional, a detective of sorts whose job is to discover the whereabouts of wanted fugitives, and then secure their capture. That his job has unsavory aspects to it does not unsettle him, nor does it, in some perverse manner, motivate him. It simply is what it is, and as a professional he must pursue it to its logical conclusion. The film also features excellent performances by Micheal Fassbender (this being his first big commercial film), the stunning beauty Diane Kruger (as the double agent Bridget Von Hammersmark), and August Diehl, who plays a cunning and ruthless SS Officer with remarkable authenticity. Brad Pitt surprising does an excellent job in this film as tough as nails Lieutenant "Apache" Raine. I say surprsingly, because Pitt has had to redefine himself as he enters middle age. He can no longer sell movies based on his hearthrob status of his 20s and 30s (where he basically had to just show up and hordes of women were guaranteed to go watch his movies). In his search for a new identity, he has had his share of flops (eg. I thought he was terrible in "Moneyball"). But with this movie, it appears he found a role that suits him to a tee. Namely, that of a kind of tough guy, a poor man's John Wayne, complete with generous amounts of wit, charm, charisma and humor. Beyond the acting, the movies story and script is first rate. My favorite scene in the movie, just a classic Tarantino scene that would be right at home in a movie like "Pulp Fiction", is the tavern scene towards the middle of the film. This is where British Agent Micheal Fassbender must make a rendezvous with his contact, double agent Bridget von Hammersmark. Now Hammersmark happens to be a famous German actress, and she is approached in the tavern by a regiment of off duty German soldiers (several of whom are getting alarmingly drunk). When Fassbender is finally able to pry her away from these admirers, a covert SS Officer, played brillantly but August Diehl, makes a surprise entrance, and, suspicious of Fassbender's curious German accent, decides to interrogate him and his party. The scene is brillantly scripted, and the tension between the aggressive Diehl and the calm and collected Fassbender is palpable. This scene alone makes the movie worth watching. This is not a movie for everybody. There is plenty of violence and gore in this movie, which may offend more sensitive viewers. However, if you are a fan of Tarantino films, and you are curious how Tarantino would approach a WW2 movie, then this is a film you need to see.

Before I notice that the disc was made in Mexico I played it. It is skipping through scenes. The disc was not made in the USA as stated in the product information. Highly disappointed with the quality of the product. Made in Mexico was printed in blue on the cellophane wrapper.
