Inglourious Basterds

We went to see Inglourious Basterds today at the movies.

"It is the first year of Germany's occupation of France. Allied officer Lt. Aldo Raine (Brad Pitt) assembles a team of Jewish-American soldiers to commit violent acts of retribution, including the taking of scalps, against Nazi soldiers. Raine and his men join forces with Bridget von Hammersmark, a German actress and undercover agent, to bring down the leaders of the Third Reich. Their fates converge with theater owner Shosanna Dreyfus, who seeks revenge for the Nazis' execution of her family."



All I can say is wow, that was a pretty gorey movie lol.  It's obviously not fact because of the way Hitler died in this movie so right there you know that it's just a tale that they wanted to tell.

Yes I realize that this movie has been in theaters for quite some time now, we don't get to the movies that often so when we do go see a movie it's usually "down the hall and to your right or left" type of a deal.  Let's just say the screen was about maybe half the size of the regular big theater screens that they reserve for movies that just came out.

If you haven't already seen this movie make sure you bring your glasses and are not dyslexic or read slow because about 1/3 of this movie is subtitles.  They are either speaking in German, French or really bad Italian (on Brad Pitts part lol).

Anyway, it was good despite all the scalping.
