Inglourious Basterds

[Jayhawker Soule]

As far as ethical standards, or gratuitous gore/violence, you don't get Tarantino. Why did you see this movie? Secondly, inferring that this movie would stir racial tensions is absurd and highly frustrating. Why must people attach a racial tag to any fringe human experience. Your inability to relate to the callous behavior of Jews in this movie to the Holocaust- or at least publicly suggest that the legitimacy of their anger represented would be trumped by the possibility of disturbing the current "racial equality" is repulsive. Stop.

Who the hell are you referring to?

 

[DarkSun]

Not to mention ... what does this say about Jews?

Only what the person watching chooses to interpret.

Well, everyone has the right to be mad at the Nazi's.

But having a group of Jews behaving like this does say something about the Jews in particular and Americans in general.

A possiblity:

The Jews in the movie are lead by a non-Jewish American to commit horrific violations of several rules of war, indicating a lack of leadership and a susceptibility to the modern American way of forgetting humanity to torture her enemies.

Well, hopefully there is some relationship between the interpretation and the movie.

I wasn't going to see it anyway, but it's good to get improptu reviews.

But if you actually believe this is an accurate view of Jewish people then I think you have more serious problems to worry about than the movie.

It would be the height of intellectual laziness of a reader to make such a conclusion.

I was talking, obviously, about THE MOVIE, which I hated.

 

[themadhair]

Loved it. Seriously loved it. When a director can get the audience into hysterics over the most gratuitous examples of barbarism I think we are onto a winrar.

Separating a race of people from any form of the human experience is racism. You're indicating that Jewish persons are incapable of barbarism? Oh, and only whites are? You don't believe that distorting negative attributes from a race of people for political correctness hinders the equality movement?

The MOVIE separated the race of people. I am interpreting the MOVIE. The MOVIE.

My god, how stupidly can people read! Wow.

Isn't that the OP, Angellous?

Sure it is, but people are somehow capable of typing while brain dead.

You've only just realised this after making more than twenty-seven thousand posts on RF?

Sometimes it just jumps out and grabs me.

I make mistakes, too... but that's quite rare.

From what I gathered from your interpretation is that you think the movie does a disservice to the Jews by representing them as barbaric. Am I wrong?

And how is that related to your response?

 

[d3vaLL]

And how is that related to your response?

Is it OK to represent anyone as barbaric in a movie?

 

[richardlowellt]

Very, very disturbing ...

I didn't like it at all, not enough Nazi's killed, and those that were needed to be killed more slowly!!

Ah, America winning the war for us hapless Commonwealth citizens again. How wonderful. </sarcasm>
