SHould be nominated for Movie of the Year. I think once again that some people just don't get what QT is trying to do. He makes movies and this was a movie. Of course Aldo Rain and the basterds did not really kill Hitler but look at what QT does in this film.
He makes you question your own morality. Did you at any point when the Nazi was going to get his brains bashed in, did you feel an ounce of compassion or want to turn your head for a brief moment so you didn't have ot watch it? They're Nazis, we should be celebrating them getting their tails kicked but at the same time you kinda get sickened just a tad.
Then the French actress is exposed as sort of walking the fence but in the end she gets whats coming to her. The show stopper or scene stealer is of course Christopher Walz who plays Col. Hans Lander and he will get nominated for best actor/supporting actor, doubt he wins but he deserves the nod.
The opening scene in the French dairy farmer's house, priceless dialogue back and forth, great scene. The movie is wildly entertaining and wife and I thoroughly loved this, definitely top5 for the 2009 year. I've seen a lot of films that are supposed to get nominated, IB is right up there at the top of the list.
Cinematography, Costume, Lighting, Script, Director, Actor/Supporting Actor...should easily get nominated for 5-7 Oscars. Loved it, and anyone that didn't like it, I understand where your POV is but I think true QT fans must have loved this and QT just keeps getting better at making movies.
