Inglourious Basterds (2009) is a World War II film written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. The film offers a unique and fictionalized take on history, blending action, drama, and dark humor. The story follows two primary narratives: a group of Jewish-American soldiers known as the "Basterds," led by Lieutenant Aldo Raine, who hunt and kill Nazis in occupied France, and Shosanna Dreyfus, a Jewish woman who survives a Nazi massacre and plans a bold revenge during a film premiere. The film mixes intense violence with Tarantino's signature sharp dialogue and an unpredictable plot.
