Aug 24 (IBNS) Riding high on the success of World War II actioner Inglorious Basterds, Brad Pitt said that Tom Crusie Valkyrie, which was also about World War II, was ridiculous.

Hollywood Reporter reported that according to Pitt, his new film Inglourious Basterds is the be all and end all of Nazi movies.

“The Second World War could still deliver more stories and films, but I believe that Quentin [Tarantino, director] put a cover on that pot. With Basterds, everything than can be said to this genre has been said,” Pitt said. “The film destroys every symbol. The work is done, end of story.”

On Valkyrie, another WWII Hitler assassination movie with a famous Hollywood star, he says there is no comparison. Pitt simply said, “It was a ridiculous movie.”

Pitt also revealed what movie he does find note-worthy – even life-changing – Saturday Night Fever.

“When I was a teenager, I saw Saturday Night Fever at our drive-in, but it wasn’t the dancing that electrified me. It was the life and culture in Brooklyn. I’m from Missouri, the southern part of the Midwest in the U.S., and I never heard families talk that way to each other. From that point on, I wanted out to see more of the country and of life.”
