Inglorious Basterds

A band of eight Jewish special ops guys torture and kill Nazis. Yes!

"We're going to be cruel to the Germans, and through the evidence of our cruelty, they will know who we are."

I can't wait to see this movie. Tarantino has told interviewers this movie is simply "not anti-war misery."

In other words, Tarantino is going to give us what we've been waiting for these past few years; a war movie which revels in war's capacity to allow good to destroy evil.

From Reuters:

CANNES, France (Reuters) - U.S. director Quentin Tarantino rolls a Western, gangster flick and wartime caper into one in "Inglourious Basterds," a new film starring Brad Pitt as the leader of a ruthless gang of Nazi-slayers. So fearsome is the band of Jewish-American "bastards" that Adolf Hitler himself comes to hear of them, and the violent and action-packed narrative weaves real life figures into a riotous and fanciful plot that re-writes history.

Most of the dialogue is in German and French and translated with subtitles, possibly limiting the film's box office potential in the United States.

But at the Cannes film festival, where Tarantino's picture is in the main competition, there was warm applause after a press screening on Wednesday.

Here's a video clip of the trailer.
