I understand that the possibilites of this movie winning for Best Picture is kind of a long shot, we all know Avatar will sweep the Oscars this year (unfortunately), but I personally thought this film was amazing. The setting, costumes, acting, screen play...etc., you name it it was all extremely well thought out and very creative. It had that Quentin Tarantino twist all his movies possess that makes them fun and enjoyable. Christoph Walz was AMAZING! He had to speak four fluent languages for the movie. FOUR? I am having a hard time learning my second one right now. But he made all four of them look like they're his native language. He was creepy, yet charming at the same time. He won a Golden Globe, which was very well deserved.
The entire cast was top notch. Brad Pitt was hilarious and Melanie Laurent was fascinating.
The only drawbacks to the movie were it was long (152 min.) and there were quite a few subtitles so if you forgot your glasses you were SOL. However, the length and subtitles did not hinder the film--it only enhanced it.
I highly recommend watching this movie before the Oscars if you haven't already--definite must see!
I'm leaning toward this as my pick as well.
