OP

What the actual fuck?

I don’t know what you think you’re seeing here.

I shouldn’t have to trot out my Jewish bonafides to make this kind of statement. But I guess I can, if you need that. We can tally Holocaust deaths.

One of these movies feels fucking great. Like I get to live vicariously through their righteous revenge. And the other feels like someone is using a massive tragedy as an convenient way to set a movie in a place where the heroes get to be as vicious as they want. It feels like someone is using the pain of others as an excuse.

The filmmakers probably didn’t see it that way, maybe they thought they were talking the topic seriously, but that’s how it feels to me when I watch.

OP - again, an apology

I realize this wasn’t fair. You don’t know me, it’s understandable that you might assume I’m a Nazi-sympathizing fuck.

That’s not where I’m coming from, but I can’t expect people to guess that. Maybe I should have added some more personal details into the secret. I was trying to leave it open to more people who might relate.

Watching Nazis get their comeuppance in a fictional film is wonderful since it didn't really happen very much back in the 1930s and 40s. But the secret is worded ambiguously and casts doubt on Inglorious Basterds being the enjoyable film to watch. And that means watching Nazis get destroyed doesn't seem like fun.

You sound unaware that both of these scenes are about killing Nazis
