153 min - Recently I was assigned to a project to do for English. This project had only one objective "learn and write about a significant topic that happened in World War 2." This project could really consist of anything from the fashion of that time to the atomic bomb to the holocaust. My significant topic is about up rises and what people did to try to stop the tragedy that happened in the holocaust from happening. There is a whole bunch of stuff you have to do for this project one major thing is to write a persuasive letter anything else is up to you. I had to watch a movie that relates to the topic of my choosing.
The movie I chose was Inglourious Basterds, not to get confused with the 1978 movie (though they did have some connection). The movie Stars Brad Pitt, Christoph Waltz, Eli Roth and Diane Kruger.The placing of this movie was Jewish American soldiers invading France during World War 2. The soldiers are called the Basterds they were assigned to kill Nazis and promote fear in the third Reich. Which they do very well. Except one accusation, after killing a troop of Nazis on a hill they have 3 solders left the sergeant and 2 others. They ask the sergeant to point out on a map were another troop are how many there are and what artilleries they have. Of cores he disagrees which caused him to have his head bashed in by a Jewish American soldier nicknamed the "Bear Jew" who bashes the brains in of any Nazi with a baseball bat. The following officer is shot for attempting to run. Lastly the final soldier (in fear of his life) tells them everything. So they decided to let him live so he can tell everyone to fear the Basterds but First Lieutenant Aldo Raine(Brad Pitt)has a problem with that. The soldier explains that he will take off the uniform sometime in the near future and never put it on again. But if he dose that nobody will know that he was Nazi so Aldo Raine carves a swastika into the soldiers forehead so everyone can see what he is.
There is another side of the story a woman who moved to France and lived under a fake French name owns a cinema, which is going to hold a very big première of a big movie. The reason it’s so big was because it was the first movie made during this transition of power and the third Reich. But this cinema owner isn’t who she clams to be. She is actual a Jewish girl named Shosanna (Mélanie Laurent) whose family was killed. The family died in 1941 by SS Colonel Hans Landa (Christoph Waltz) goes to a “farm in France to interrogate Perrier Lapadite (Denis Menochet) about rumors that he is hiding the Jewish Dreyfus family. Landa persuades the farmer to confess to hiding the family underneath his floor. Landa then orders the SS soldiers into the house to shoot the floorboards where they are hiding. The entire family is killed, except the teenage Shosanna (Mélanie Laurent), whom Landa allows to escape.” But he’s back to make sure that this première goes off without a hitch. But Shosanna has other plans; plans such as destroy the entire theater with all the Nazi officials inside including Hitler. When the Basterds find out about this première a lot of interesting things go down.
The movie gets very deep, I was sitting at the edge of my seat throughout majority of the movie. It’s a very serious movie but at the same time very funny. Its crazy and I couldn’t stop watching.
