“Inglourious Basterds” is more than Quentin Tarantino’s magnum opus, it’s his manifesto. It’s a wild, rollicking story, an over-the-top take on the war movie genre, but do not doubt that there’s a point to it all. Contrary to what you might’ve heard, “Basterds” isn’t about a bunch of Nazi-killing Jews. Not really. It’s not even, really, about World War II. It’s about movies, and movie-watching, and movie-making. Tarantino just uses some badass Jews in World War II to talk about his favorite subject – film.

Ha, I agree it was a good movie. Very Suspenseful Tarantino goes a little far with the violence, however if he didn’t it wouldn’t be Tarantino.
