I'm back from my vacations and on my last weekend I went to see the last Tarantino's movie. I have the best of impressions of this movie. I felt like a child just sitting there watching the movie, nervous about the fact that the movie was gonna end eventually. I was so excited about each upcoming scene that I giggled many times. It reminded me what movie passion is all about.
In the last scene of the movie (I don't think this is actually a SPOILER but be aware anyway) one character says in an obvious reference to the way the director feels about this movie: "You know, I think this may be my masterpiece!".
The one reason why I wouldn't consider it a Tarantino masterpiece is because of the soundtrack. A few days ago I saw an interview with Christopher Waltz where he said that each Tarantino movie is always completely different. That may be partially true but there are definitely key elements in the Tarantino Style: great unbelievable dialogues, amazing characters, stylish framings, movie references and handpicked songs that compose bestselling soundtracks. I would say that this last elements is the only one where Tarantino didn't excell in Inglorious Basterds. Some of the songs are very good but there was two or three times in fundamental parts of the movie where I felt the songs were poorly selected for that particular situation, I felt like it messed with the situation flow.
Aside from that, this is definitely a great movie, very very enjoyable, loads of fun, it will make you feel sadistic for laughing for the most horrific situations, but in the end, in a very fucked up way it's a feel good movie.
Two thumbs definitely up.
A movie for those who love movies.
P.S. - I'd love to have feedback from people who saw this movie to see if they feel the same way
