Inglorious B-Jew Porn

Tarantino's latest is up there with his better works. While it's set in WWII France, it's really his version of a spaghetti western combined w/Jewish porn (by that I mean the slaughter of Nazi's by a team of Americans that are primarily Jews...& slaughter they do...& relish in it) There is no introspection here...no are we doing the right thing? Are we becoming monsters? that what we hate? No just killing Nazi's..."& business is booming". They are led by Brad Pitt as a good ole Southern boy with Apache blood in him channeling Marlon Brando...it works. While all the performances are good for the most part (Eli Roth is better behind the camera) the show is stolen by the German Officer known as the "Jew-Hunter". Not that it takes much more then a Nazi Uniform to light up my blood lust but this guy really was something. Think smarmy, sleazy, charming, evil & cunning all rolled into one... Like most of his flicks there is lots & lots & lots of dialogue (a German card game has some of the more entertaining...though it is somewhat racially charged), lots of film references, obscure foreign, westerns, war, gangster etc... & of course GIRL-POWER... in this case a nice Jewish girl... Shoshanna. I read somewhere that he has been criticized in the past for his films lacking tension & his scenes lacking build up...well I guess he took it to heart...maybe a bit too much... His choice of music as usual is great & as much as I liked the Ennio Morricone music it's the use of David Bowie's Cat People that I loved. If you hate Nazi's, love WWII flicks, enjoy Tarantino &/or any combo of the three I think you'll find yourself laughing, cringing, & clapping for his latest & greatest...
