It's a fucking film, not a political statement.

Take a few deep breathes, Svanhild....

I mean, they kill Hitler via machingun fire, for fucks sake. We all know that didn't happen.

I sort of liken it to the Monty Python/Holy Grail film.... I don't know if that offended that many English folk or not, but I have my doubts.

It is.

It is.

Yes, that evil Jewish cabal did this just to piss off you overtly-nationalistic Germans.

Silly me to have forgotten....

We are offended, but I can see your logic. The only flaw in that logic is MP was satirical and tolerant, whilst IB was just plain anti-German and outright offensive.

Sure, any film that denigrates WWII-era Germans isn't political, it's just entertainment. Yet when Valkyrie came out, the liberal media decried it as a "Nazi apologia," despite it being a completely true story.

svanhild does not understand humor or monty python she admitted this earlier. i am sorry but it is a concept that is to alien to her.

Indeed, in my opinion, the sarcasm was obvious.

But depending on the context (including the emotional condition of the readers) the sarcasm can be misunderstood.

I didn't take it as sarcasm. A) We Germans aren't known for great humour and B) I can't accept funny lines in this serious context as fun or sarcasm by no way. This movie disgusts me way too much and I think your sarcasm was misplaced. Even if I had understood your post as sarcasm I'd have rejected it.

svanhild does not understand humor (...) she admitted this earlier.

Where in the quote above does she state that she does not understand humor at all And if you want to considering not liking this movie to not having a sense of humor then there are many more in this tread who do not have a sense of humor.

Wow, I had never thought people would take the movie so seriously... I enjoyed the movie a lot. Don't take it too seriously, guys. I guess it depends on the taste of each one but oh well.

Of course you enjoyed the movie a lot. How about a movie portraying Germans as heroes killing and torturing Jews? Actually, I would enjoy this movie A LOT. That's a matter of taste, right?...

Eli Roth, jewish actor, states with regards to his experience as performer:
But it's one of the most satisfying, orgasmic things I've done in my life. It's kosher porn.

The bar scene of Inglorious Basterds is the only scene of the movie that I feel lives and breathes as one of the only memorable scenes in the movie.

In a pivotal "Basterds" scene, the entire fate of the mission hinges on how a character counts to three on one hand — revealing him to be either German or a spy. Tarantino said that if you ask any German, you'll find that the differences in digit-use still exist: "That was actually a thing. ... You have to remember one thing about WWII — it was the last time that a whole lot of white people fought a whole lot of white people. So you could actually infiltrate Germany, or Germans could infiltrate the Polish underground, if you could pull off the language. One of the things that would blow people's cover a lot, with Americans pretending to be Germans, was this notion of three fingers. But what was really funny was the Germans who worked on the ['Basterds'] crew, they do [holds up two fingers and a thumb]. They didn't know we did [holds up three fingers]!"
