Lunch Break: Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds Trailer

From Reservoir Dogs to Death Proof, Quentin Tarantino has proven time-and-time again that he’s one of the most unique and talented directors working in Hollywood today. In an age characterized by Michael Bay’s style of action-intensive, CGI-reliant blockbusters, it’s nice to see Hollywood producers still embracing films that attempt to push the media forward with nonlinear storytelling and dialogue-heavy scenes that require extensive time to digest and decrypt.

 

Inglourious Basterds, however, appears to be Tarantino’s attempt to combine his slow and methodical approach to directing with a Jerry Bruckheimer-esque all-out, balls-to-the-wall World War II action flick, and based on the first trailer, it looks like he will be successful.

 

First off, anything with Brad Pitt is automatically full of win—except for Mr. And Mrs. Smith, but I blame that flop on Angelina Jolie, not the man who brought Tyler Durden to life. Secondly, it has a long-winded, yet poignant speech, which means we’ll get plenty of QT’s trademark (READ: awesome) dialogue intermittently dispersed in-between action sequences. Finally, it has a somewhat comical Hitler that will surely meet a gruesome death by the film’s conclusion.


I mean really… What’s not to love?!
