That's a bingo!
I think it's time to go back to school. Even my therapist agreed that I'm prepared to the point of chomping on the bit. My biggest worry is that when I get back to Boston I may not have a job which is distressing, but hardly the end of the world. I've even come to terms the fact that my schedule looks like something Picasso would have painted and that BU overcharges for all their custom textbooks. I'm just ready to not be here anymore. I want my independence back, even if that means being broke and unemployed.
It was pure Quentin Tarantino all the way and I was surprised (which in hindsight, was stupid) that he decided to literally change history. EVERYONE DIES! Okay, almost everyone and we get to watch Hitler get cut to bits under heavy gun fire as 300 of his closest Nazi pals are burned to death alive.
And if that's not enough to trigger a spontaneous orgasm, Hugo Stiglitz (Til Schweiger) gets whipped and has this really tense Mexican standoff scene where he and this Nazi threaten to shoot each other's balls off. Um... UNF YAY! I may be a dyke, but the allure of male/male violence is not lost on me.
I burst out laughing every Donny (Eli Roth) scene, it was really just a spontaneous reaction. Also, Brad Pitt was great as Aldo Raines and I would like him to talk Italian to me. Every scene they had together I couldn't help but wonder about all the dirtywronghotwe'reinawarsoliderdesperate!sex they must have had. 'Cause yeah...
I fell in love with Shosanna (Mélanie Laurent) immediately. She's the true hero of this film and as a typical Tarantino style heroine she kicked ass and took names. She was also the human aspect of this film. The Basterds were amazing, but brutal. Christoph Waltz's part as Colonel Landa was simultaneously humorous and creepsome. Bridget Von Hammersmark was classy and capable, but her time spent before the audience was short lived and personally I didn't have the time to care about her. Among all these other characters, giving me whiplash with this fast action and witty dialogue, Shosanna's really the only sympathetic character that I really got attached to.
As far as I can tell she's also the only character outside of the German army take control over the situation. The Basterds reacted, while she just acted. Plus anyone who can shoot down Nazi war heroes like it's in their job description holds a special place in my heart.
And isn't that really what this film was about in the end? Shooting Nazis? Getting revenge. If you ever sat in History class listening to your professor talk about Nazis and felt truly outraged (doesn't that describe everyone) then this is a film for you!
