Tbf, the opening scene with Waltz was riveting. He was bossing it throughout and there are some very good 'intense' moments in the film but I was disappointed in the lack of seriousness in the film which took the sting out of the intense moments.

That argument is a double-edged sword. it is the reflection of the film-maker's quality to make a realistic environment of WW II but it was closer to a parody i thought. Brad Pitt was depicted as an 'over-the-top' stereotype.The Shoshanna storyline ended with a cliched double homicide. They brought this 'fun' feel with WW II, what with the alternate American ending and all, but I was hoping for something more serious

The movie is exactly a parody!

How could you be expecting a more serious movie when the openning scene is already an absurd in itself?

The whole idea of the movie is to cleverly play with a lot of stereotypes that surround WW2...

Cant you see how everything is over the top in the film?

Each Basterd's background, the German movie actor/soldier, the rughness of both sides, Hitler is always overly screaming or smiling, the French culture clash, the racism presented in the helper inside the cinema, the tavern and Germans having fun, Brad Pitt accent, etc.

The ending was purposily chosen to be as far apart from the reality as possible. Hence Hitler is killed in a horrendous way (a clean death would be naturally the option, but everything is caricaturated in the movie).

This all shows how it has no intention to be factually right!
