The story unfolds in five chapters. During World War II, Germany occupied France. German Colonel Hans (played by Christoph Waltz) was known as a "Jewish hunter". During a massacre of Jews, the teenage girl Susanna (played by Melanie Laurent) narrowly escaped. Meanwhile, eight American Jewish soldiers, led by Lieutenant Aldo (played by Brad Pitt), infiltrated German-occupied France to assassinate German soldiers. Their actions were elusive and their methods cruel, posing a considerable threat to the German army and they were called "bastards". Three years later, Susanna came to Paris and took over her aunt's cinema, where she met Friedrich (played by Daniel Bruhl), a German combat hero and the lead actor of the film "National Honor". Friderick, who fell in love with Susanna at first sight, persuaded German Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels (played by Sylvester Groth) to premiere "National Glory" in Susanna's cinema, and Hitler himself (played by Martin Wuttke) would also attend. Susanna decided to take the opportunity of the screening to burn down the cinema. And under the arrangement of German spy actress Bridget (played by Diane Kruger), the Anglo-American joint assassination operation "Chino" will also take place on the premiere night... This film was nominated for the Palme d 'Or at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival, received seven nominations at the 82nd Academy Awards including Best Director and Best Picture, and won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor (Christoph Waltz) and the Cannes Film Festival Award for Best Actor.[Collapse]
