Inglorious Basterds

[GoldenRivet]

From the linked article

Ahead of the film's international release this week, German reviewers were rapturous over the fictitious squad of Nazi killers who stop the Holocaust

Ehhhh... no they didnt stop the holocaust as being that the assasination sene was set in 1944 most of it was already over with.

Only a handful expressed qualms over Tarantino's trademark gore-splattering, most relishing the cinematic massacre of the Nazi brass including Adolf Hitler by a band of Jewish-American soldiers, led by Brad Pitt as deeply satisfying.

Agreed that they would find this deeply satisfying, however it was my opinion that the film, on a couple of occasions, portrayed the average german soldier as a Nazi. Historically, this was not always the case.

"This ain't your daddy's World War II movie," Tarantino has said.

no doubt a bold move for a director to make... considering 99.9% of War movie fans love "Daddy's War Movie"

"Because, unlike 'Pulp Fiction' or 'Kill Bill', only the evil are massacred, the audience cheers the violent scenes with gusto,"

Not every person who died in the film was evil, in fact there were quite a few deaths which were senseless.



having read that article... i can see why the people of Germany would like the film... however, i cant say i would enjoy seeing common German Soldiers being murdered if i myself were german.
