I have been pretty excited about Quentin Tarantino’s upcoming release of Inglourious Basterds, but the more I read about it, the more I become worried that I’m not going to like it.
I realize that the tail is entirely fictional, however I really worried about being able to overcome the backdrop that the story takes place. I am hoping that I can turn off my ‘historical accuracy detector’ throughout the film. I am in love with movies like the Longest Day, which retell what happened without using too many creative liberties with the history.
Tarantino has said that the film is “”spaghetti western but with World War II iconography”, and watching the trailers leaving me wondering how clearly it comes across in the film. Quentin hasn’t let me down yet, however I hope that he is back in his amazing Pulp Fiction form, compared to his most recent effort, Deathproof.
I will post my thoughts after I see it (probably on Sunday) and I’m looking forward to it, good or bad.
