Inglourious Basterds.
I can tell you right now. I am not for killing so many people. Especially people that have a family and a soul. So you would think that a movie like this would just make me cringe. But it didn't. Just the opposite in fact.
This blog entry will have spoilers for this movie. So if you wanna be surprised, come back later after you see the movie.
--------------------------------
It starts off with an SS worker in a French man's home asking officially if he was hiding any Jews. The French man denies it, but then gives in. Three gunmen come in and shoot the floorboard where they're hiding. One escapes.
Then the group, "Inglourious Basterds" is created and the officer [Brad Pitt] explains to his small army that each man owes him 100 "Natzi" scalps.
So upon attacking Nazi stations, they are brutally killed by a beating or shooting, and are scalped.
Meanwhile, a young woman is seen fixing a cinema sign, and a German Soldier [and war hero] takes an interest in her. He learns that she owns the cinema, because her entire family was slaughtered, though she lies and says they got sick. He ends up being in a movie about his war heroism, and asks the woman if it can be shown in her movie theater.
She agrees, and plans to kill all the Nazis that set foot in the theater. So her and her co-worker/lover make a plan to set film on fire behind the screen after locking all of the doors and switching film footage 3 times. When it would get to the fourth reel, the movie would flash over to one of her that they would see before they die.
In the end, the Basterds are caught, but suprisingly, not many are killed. They sent in two of their men on a suicide mission inside the movie theater with time bombs strapped to their legs.
The movie is going great, except the actual war hero is sitting their watching it, and hates it. He gets up to go visit the girl right before the fourth reel is about to play. To cut it short, they end up shooting each other. About 2 minutes after she is dead, the lover had locked all of the doors, and her part of the footage comes up.
Did I mention hitler was at this showing? Well. He was. Which made this scene even better.
And right before the lover/co-worker flicks his lit cigarette onto the highly flammable pile of film reels, she says, as my most favorite line in the movie "I want you Nazi fucks to look straight into the face of the Jew that's going to kill you." And then the entire place is lit on fire. The two Basterd men with time bombs strapped on run wild with their guns and shoot from the balcony onto the screaming Nazis. And, another great part, they shoot Hitler to death. And when he's dead, they shoot more. And more. And more. They were screaming and scratching at the door just like those Jews in the gas chambers were.
And maybe, if this was actually real, maybe for just one millisecond before they were burned alive or choked by the smoke, they realized that they were just the same as Jews. And if this is the death that the Jews got, then it's the one they deserve to get too.
This is how the war should have ended. This is how the Nazi's could have learned. Kill them off just like they tried killing the innocent Jews off.
They said Jews were the threat? I don't recall learning about Jews going around hunting a race like a wild animal.
So, Bill White, or any other Neo-Nazi for that matter, if you saw this movie,
I hope it made your skulls hurt and your skin burn.
Your little Nazi flags were burned to the ground as well as your selfishly foolish army.
And did you see Hitler get shot like, 50 times?
Put that on your swastika and suck it.
