I finally saw this movie a couple of weeks ago, thanks to a friend. WOW what a gritty movie.
Of course, I don't know what else I could have expected from Tarantino. I haven't yet seen Reservoir Dogs,
and I didn't see either volume of Kill Bill, but I did see — and later, buy — Pulp Fiction. Even just
operating on Pulp Fiction, I shouldn't have been too surprised about Lt. Raine's bent for scalps.
After seeing this a few times, I can say the movie is reluctantly fantastic. The film obviously
has its own take on history, and I was struck by the few similarities between the reimagined manner
of Hitler's death and the assasination of President Lincoln. Christoph Waltz is AMAZING,
and I am pleased to learn he won an Oscar for his performance. Brad Pitt was situationally hilarious —
particularly in the cinema lobby. And the voice of Samuel L. Jackson did not go unnoticed. I'm so glad
I added this to my collection.
