The last time I wanted to see a movie on the big screen twice was There Will Be Blood.
It won Best Picture last year which makes me think that maybe Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds will win next year's Best Picture - and best script!
The storytelling is so elegant - the characters so well drawn that they remain real in my mind.
You'll see why he's cast Melanie Laurent as Shosonna in the scene at the window in the red dress.
"She's gorgeous and dangerous, like a snow leopard that can't be seen by her prey" - you can almost hear him say.
Tarantino's voice is distinct.
He has painted her on film as Leonardo would've painted her on canvas.
Images flutter across the screen, unfolding the story - and you know, the fact that it's Brad Pitt leading the charge which changes the whole outcome of the Second World War don't matter a damn.
They'll talk about the basement bar room scene like they talk about the Russian Roulette scene in Deer Hunter.
Don't want to ruin it by giving too much away.
But my favourite line belongs to the villain: "Let's talk about ending the war tonight" (or words to that effect).
However, there's nothing that comes close to the astonishing beauty of Tarantino's Kill Bill fight in the snow fight:
I don't think anything will ever match this:

If Shakespeare has been reincarnated - he's Quentin Tarantino.
