I just saw the new Quentin Tarantino film "Inglorius Basterds" starring Brad Pitt. Prior to this film I so thoroughly enjoyed the Kill Bill movies by Tarantino and now having Brad Pitt, who to me has become a major actor with great versatility, I am expecting a real blockbuster movie. Overall, it was well made and I must say if you go to see it do so for no other reason than the character Colonel Landa--incredible acting worth nomination for the Academy awards. However, I take strong exceptions to a total distortion of history!! I am not sure the purpose of doing such?? Was it wishful thinking to how the war should have ended?? I just did not see the reason for this. Hopefully, somebody can enlighten me.

I think you're just taking the film way to serious, it's like what Frank Miller did with 300. Both of these films are not meant to be a documentary, they're entertainment

What?! Next you'll tell me that Mel Brooks' 'History of the World, Part 1' isn't credible.

This latest Tarantino film is being panned by most of the reviews. I tink I will wait for the DV release before watching it!
What Mel Brooks' History of the World, Part one isn't a factual recounting of events! I'll be darned!

My personal favorite is 'The Spanish Inquisition' sequence.

To the original poster.
I agree with the site owner on this one. The movie is an exaggerated riff on The Dirty Dozen and a fantasy, not a recreation of World War II.

Re: Inglorius Basterds-Quentin, what have you done?
The movie is actually a loose remake of Inglorious Bastards, an awesome 70s exploitation film staring Fred Williamson. It's definitely not meant to be historically accurate. I enjoyed the Tarantino version but I looooove the original. They're pretty different though.
