This movie is a comedy of a kind but because it is about Nazi Germany it would seem to be a tragedy. The comedy is an inside inside but if you see it as cowboys versus Indians (since Brad Pitt is part Apache) then the Germans are the cowboys and the Italians the Indians in the inside the movie storyline...I am sure a lot of Indians probably would feel the same as the Jews who are depicted seem to feel, wanting revenge and to get even for all the hurt inflicted on them...so why do they do it now to their neighbors in Palestine? At any rate, the actress who is a lone survivor of a Nazi roundup has to face her enemies and swallow her own pride working with them to show a movie depicting the Germans as heroic in the face of their enemies, the Italians. The entire scenario is preposterous from start to finish which is why it is comedic. Everyone gets killed in the end, which of course did not happen. There is no historical truth to any of this film. It is just Quentin doing a wish I could have been there and done it this way, and his way is not exactly the right way either. Actually, there are enough bad guys on the planet today who probably could stand being mowed down also but nobody has the will to end their lives either. Only Saddam Hussein was finally put down by his own people. Whether all the stories about him are true or propaganda is something nobody will ever know either. People have a way of fabricating stories to justify their actions. Right now, it is Mubarak in Egypt who is under fire. Muslim turnovers only get more Muslims, so why get excited about it? Just like American elections only get more Amerians elected, why worry?
The movie is fast paced, entertaining, and thoughtful on a special level. Worth the time to see.
