Tarantino and Brad Pitt

Another Tarantino movie is on the way, starring Brad Pitt as a Jewish-American soldier fighting the Nazis in World War II. I am not the biggest Tarantino or Pitt fan, but I respect both of them for their achievements. I am, however, a huge war movie fan. I'm looking forward to seeing this one in theaters.

People has the following:
In Brad Pitt’s upcoming World War II movie, he plays a vengeance-seeking Nazi hunter – and he looks the part.

The first portrait of Pitt’s character, Lt. Aldo Raine, in Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds (yes, the misspelling is intentional), was released Monday. Clad in tough-looking fighter gear, Pitt portrays the leader of the "Basterds," a group of Jewish-American soldiers who scalp and brutally kill Nazis.

Pitt’s character is described on Tarantino.info as not "your Warner Brothers 1950's WW2 hero … this is a hillbilly straight from the mountains of Tennessee."

Pitt, Angelina Jolie and their six children recently moved to a Berlin villa while he works on the controversial film.

I'm tired of the controversial phrase being thrown around so much these days. You can apply that label to ANY movie because someone will find it offensive or out of bounds.

Look for a few crazy sadistic scenes to give it that Tarantino edge, and some very powerful emotional scenes to showcase Brad Pitt.
