In German-occupied France, Shosanna Dreyfus witnesses the execution of her family at the hand of Nazi Colonel Hans Landa. Shosanna narrowly escapes and flees to Paris, where she forges a new identity as the owner and operator of a cinema. Elsewhere in Europe, Lieutenant Aldo Raine organizes a group of Jewish soldiers to engage in targeted acts of retribution. Known to their enemy as "The Basterds," Raine's squad joins German actress and undercover agent Bridget Von Hammersmark on a mission to take down the leaders of The Third Reich. Fates converge under a cinema marquee, where Shosanna is poised to carry out a revenge plan of her own...
There are wild differences of opinion on the socially redeeming value of this film. However, the real film that you are buying this for, “Nation’s Pride,” makes “Triumph of the Will” look like a B-movie. Not only do you get the complete film, but also the Blu-ray version has “The Making of Nation’s Pride”
For the few that bought the movie to see Brad Pitt and Christoph Waltz, that movie is not bad either, as long as you look at it as an alternate reality of which few people get to partake. However, I did run into these personalities in Vietnam.
I only saw the Blu-ray version, but the blood was still realistic and appropriate to the story. We follow the high-jinx of Lt. Aldo Raine (Brad Pitt) as he carves his way across Nazi-occupied France and a potential romance between theater lovers with two different ideologies.
The film proves that people do not tend to change.
If you like Christoph Waltz as Col. Hans Landa, then do not miss Ron Leibman as Captain Esteban in “Zorro, the Gay Blade” (1981).
