Bang, Bang, Ouch!, Awww Typically, this is my reaction to historical war movies. I am a fan of yummy Brad Pitt, though, so it was a toss up whether to see this war movie. Seeing people shooting guns and other people getting shot or stabbed with bullets has never been my favorite things to watch, but I went ahead and saw this because I figured, well, maybe they won’t kill a lot of people in this movie and, even if they do, maybe it’ll mostly just be bad guys which is kind of like killing a wasp, you won’t feel too sad about it because they’re bad and can poison you. Besides, you never know, maybe Brad Pitt will take his shirt off!

Brad Pitt's Character Carries A Knife That's Called A Switchblade

As most of us who watch movies know, movies about real times in history can sometimes be a lot of fun (ex: Milk, Julie and Julia, Lord of the Rings), but sometimes they are really boring (ex: Hannah Montana, any movie about Romans or Vikings) and you start to not care about history. Well, Brad Pitt knew this while making his new movie and it really shows to the viewing audience. It’s like Brad Pitt wanted to say, ‘Hey, sometimes history is boring, I know that, but I can make it kick some serious butt.’

I'm An Army...Pirate...Waiter. Grrr.

Not only is Inglorious Bastards an historical movie, but it also a remake of the Tom Cruise movie, Valkyrie. Why remake a movie that came out last year, you ask? Well, first of all, because nobody saw it, for one. I think a lot of people looked at the picture of Tom Cruise with the army outfit and eye patch and thought maybe it was a pirate movie and were disappointed when it wasn’t. Personally, I didn’t see it just because Tom Cruise kind of creeps me out. One person who did see it, however, was Brad Pitt and he walked away liking the plot, but knowing that he could do it way better. And guess what,…he totally did do it better!

Soldiers Stand Side By Side In Uniforms In The Army

It’s basically still the same premise as Valkyrie, the good guys dress up like bad guys to blow up the generals of the bad army and end one of the world wars, once and four all, blah blah blah. Brad Pitt stars as Aldo Ray, an army guy that carries a huge knife and an even smaller mustache. His is the leader of the last group of American army men left in the war, so it is up to them to do as much shooting of people as they can in order to balance both sides out. I really liked Brad Pitt in this, but I didn’t understand why he made his character do drugs. It was subtle, (so if you didn’t catch it, don’t even worry about it) but every once and a while, Brad’s Aldo Ray would take out and use a small metal box of cocaine. Was he trying to show that doing drugs will make you do bad things you wouldn’t normally do  (i.e. carve X’s on peoples foreheads *SPOILER*) or was it just his way of trying to shock the audience? Any feedback on this topic is welcome.

The Real Aldo Ray Did Take His Shirt Off

I looked up Brad Pitt’s character online and it turns out that the real Aldo Ray became a movie actor and played in (ready for this…?) army movies. So, Brad Pitt is an actor playing an army guy that was an army guy that became an actor. Makes you kind of dizzy, right?

Brad Pitt was great, but a really good girl character was Shoshanna, a French girl that owns the movie theater. In the first scene, she runs away from her father’s French milk farm because her dad made friends with the bad guys and she is scared of their guns. She hates that the bad guys are taking over her movie theater, so she and her boyfriend (who is played by a black guy, which I thought was really a cool choice on Brad Pitt’s part because it’s almost like he’s telling the audience that they should be open-minded) decide to burn the theater down while the bad guys watch a film festival. *SPOILER*

On French Milk Farms, French Cows Were Used For Milk

The movie may not be good for kids, but I think most people will like it. For people my age, Brad Pitt is in it, so you know you’ll like it. But, I even think people my grandparents age might like it because it takes place a long time ago and the movie has a lot of old time music and clothes, so they might really enjoy remembering stuff.

Brad Pitt Never Takes His Shirt Off In The Movie, So I Am Throwing This In

Thanks to Brad Pitt, Inglorious Bastards kept me entertained enough to remind me that just because history mostly happened to people who are already dead doesn’t mean I have to find it boring.

I give Inglorious Bastards 5 out of 5 winks!
