    Ironically this movie is prime american imperialist propaganda, the kind thats used to justify invasion of Venezuela or Greenland.

    It shows americans as heavily principled against fascism (which they have not been and are not still, obviously), it completely distorts history and never even mentions USSR side of things. Because in reality 80-90% of german soldiers died on the eastern front and the soviets captured Berlin. Leaving that small detail out makes for the logical conclusion that only americans can be trusted with international affairs, thats why they should be able to tell who runs Venezuela and who governs Greenland.

      It’s a movie, not a documentary my man. Enjoy the dead Nazis and stop with the communist propaganda too.

      USSR was almost as evil as the Nazis, the countries they “freed” from the Nazis they just reoccupied themselves and committed a ton of atrocities and war crimes themselves.

      So fuck the USSR and Russia, alongside all the fascists.

      Fucking hell, it starting to sound like this movie is full of Zionists. Still lovely to see the fascists getting murdered.

    All of Tarantino’s filmography has been pretty much ruined for me now that I know what a giant piece of bigoted genocidal shit he is.

        Luckily for us, it’s entirely possible for anyone with a brain to separate an artist from their work.

        Kanye has some fire songs, I enjoy them; while at the same time I think he’s a mentally ill tool.

          Idk seem like saying Ayn Rand had some good books, or for that matter contemporary author JK Rowling has some good books but is a transphobic piece of shit. Anyone with a brain can separate work from the artist but that doesn’t mean the art isn’t transphobic because you like it

              Hopefully someday I can write a “bad” book that makes best seller lists and makes me hundreds of millions of dollars.

              Really what’s the point of your comment?

            Harry Potter isn’t transphobic. Atleast the original books, I haven’t looked at any of the new stuff; but simply not including a trans adjenda into your work isn’t trans phobia. Is The Little Mermaide trans phobic because there isn’t a trans representation? No…

    Why? It’s you Americans that are the Nazis now is that satisfying?

    On my own note i loved the first scene of IB but hate the rest of the movie. The Basterds themselves were complete morons and their mission would have succeeded if they had stayed out of it

      Why do you assume I’m an American? And why would it make any difference anyway? A fascist is a fascist. Not all Americans are fascists, just like not all Germans or Italians were fascists.

      their mission would have succeeded

      Didn’t they though?

      The first step of being not a moron is to recognize that not everyone in the same country has the same political positions

        The rest of the movie didnt live up to the first scene. I thought the main characters were disappointing, they hype up this massive scary bear Jew and it’s tiny Eli Roth who can’t act worth a damn. Then they go to a party with Nazi high command, pretending to be Italian while not knowing Italian when half of high command speaks Italian. All their deaths were because of their stupidity, their plan to kill hitler would have gone off without a hitch if they had stayed home and let the woman burn the Nazis. I also think lining up Tarantino and Brad Pitt ruined Tarantino current work. Brad Pitt is a pretentious and horrible person. So is QT honestly.

        But yes IB just didn’t work for me, hated the casting and hated the main characters
