Aldo Raine
''Inglourious Basterds'' is a 2009 epic war film written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. It stars an ensemble cast including Brad Pitt, Christoph Waltz, Michael Fassbender, Eli Roth, Diane Kruger, Daniel Brühl, Til Schweiger and Mélanie Laurent. The film tells an alternate history story of two converging plots to assassinate Nazi Germany's leadership at a Paris cinema—one through a British operation largely carried out by a team of Jewish American soldiers led by First Lieutenant Aldo Raine (Pitt), and another by French Jewish cinema proprietor Shosanna Dreyfus (Laurent) who seeks to avenge her murdered family. Both are faced against Hans Landa (Waltz), an SS colonel with a fearsome reputation for hunting Jews. The title (but not the story) was inspired by Italian director Enzo G. Castellari's 1978 Euro War film ''The Inglorious Bastards'', but deliberately misspelled as "a Basquiat-esque touch". Tarantino wrote the script in 1998, but struggled with the endin ...
