Wow. Oh wow. Quentin's done it again. And I'm not even being melodramatic when I say this: but I think this may just be his best effort yet (from his movies that I've watched anyway).
Like, I don't even know where to start. I'm still picking up my brain off the floor
because of how brutal, twisted, funny, tense, shocking and surprising the film is. It put me through a range of emotions in one of the best 2 hours 30 minutes of my life I have spent watching a movie.
So as some may have already noticed, yes, I'm the guy that is currently on a Quentin marathon having just written a LTTP for Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction (I've also watched Django). The thing that all of these movies have in common (and hence why I love them so much) is that there are severe escalations, and things can just catch you off guard. I was just saying to my friend it's like the 'Game of Thrones' of films where people just die left, right and centre, and yes, including main characters.
But there's something about this movie, that sticks out than all of the rest and I think that's the tension which is bought to life by the fantastic acting and writing (yes, somehow, the script is just as good if not better; it's in a league of its own). And yet, there is still some morbid humour to all of this, and of course, the action scenes are as well crafted as ever.
I've gotta say though, Christopher Waltz and Diane Kruger absolutely killed it (and a honorable mention to Michael Fassbender who went out with a bang with his fantastic, albeit short lived performance).
And that first 15 minutes of the film was just chilling. Coupled with the music and it was one of the most tense moments in the movies that I have witnessed. Sadistically brutal, and the change in facial expression of Landa when he notices he's hiding them is just a thing to behold.
Which leads me onto the pub scene which I had to rewatch 3 times because of how quick everything happened and how I had to contemplate everyone just die in an instance. And then Shosanna getting "surprise mother effer" from Fredrick was so shocking and captivating at the same time as in "what the hell just happened". But man, that "BAWNJOURNO" scene had me laughing for 5 minutes straight. Hell, that whole Italian scene was just hilarious, particularly the "oh crap" moment when they realise he can speak Italian xD
There are probably plenty of other parts which I have unintentionally omitted, but I wanna keep this short and sweet. You guys can talk about the rest.
Gripes? The only part which I kinda wanted closure on was Shosanna vs Hans as in why didn't Hans pursue her since it was implied he knew her identity, no? Granted, that is only a minor gripe, and didn't think much of it during the movie until after giving it a bit more thought.
Overall a fantastic film, and I'd say one of QT's best yet, if not the best. But of course that can't be reserved until I watch his other movies. Off to Jackie Brown we go!

unfortunately, some people won't be able to do that
