And the Best Picture is...

Not Avatar, the Hurt Locker or Precious. Hands down, the Best Picture of 2009 was Quentin Tarantino's Inglorious Basterds. While a movie about World War II being nominated for Best Picture is like the San Diego Chargers making the playoffs (always there, but never winning), Inglorious Basterds speaks volumes about the film medium as a form of art and commercial entity. It also casts a new light on the historical film genre, how stories are told and the cinematic joys we can look forward to as long as filmmakers try to make water-cooler talkers actually say something.

Inglorious Basterds is a period piece set during WWII that contains as much historical accuracy as this sentence. But within that freedom, the film tells a story that is more cinematic than history. While many historical m...

Tarantino's self described masterpiece.

I find this to be Tarantino's best movie.

Reescrevendo a História

Antissemitas ou alienados à parte, é razoável supor que lavaríamos nossas almas do genocídio perpetrado pelos nazistas durante a II Guerra Mundial se houvesse a oportunidade da desforra. Mandando às favas a solenidade reverente comumente adotada em abordagens fílmicas do tema, ainda que nem por um segundo inconsequente, Tarantino articula um subversivo banho de sangue (derramado pelos hitleristas, promovido por judeus) que dá vazão a esse ímpeto expiatório da plateia. A face vingada de Laurent, em regozijo triunfante, projetada numa cortina de fumaça durante uma sessão de cinema em chamas, é memorável imagem-síntese numa obra de estética erudita e cerne rico em implicações significativas.
