He would be switzerland. Whether you were the nazi basterd falling off the cliff, or the man pushing the nazi off.... you would find shelter in his land.

One thing that puzzles me is why did Brad Pitt use a KNIFE to carve swasitikas
on to his victims? I would have had him use a branding iron.
Branding irons are more cinematic- it references western movies- and- the nazi's
branded holocaust victims with serial numbers.
So a branding iron would have been a much more Tarentino-ish touch I would
think.

It was a tattoo, not a brand.. and heating a brand up takes time not neccessarily available. Knife is quicker, and tbh branding irons arent really standard issue military kit circa 1940s. Its not as if he gets one with his rifle...

DAMN i wanna see it, Brad Pitt is like one of me Favorite actors, I hope it's not too Zionist supporting like I have heard and read, ZIONISM IS JUST AS BAD AS NAZISM!

No it isn't. The Palenstinian population has increased since the creation of Midinath Yisroel.

Coming in late here but this sentence bothered me. A lot. First of all I loved the movie. It was no Pulp Fiction but it was still brilliant. Second of all I have a huge problem with this statement and feel that it was the reason we don't hear about more stories like Inglorious Bastards in relation to WW2. There were Jewish people who burned down concentration camps during the holocaust. If there were more people as strong as this we would have a better history as Jewish people. There would be less victim literature and more literature on heroism. Curing Anti Semitism DOES NOT involve behind kind to nazi's. That's like saying that curing bullying involves being nice to them. You have to fight back or the behavior of the oppressor will continue. Quentin Tarantino was brilliant for making this film.

After all, being anti-semitic isn't based on anything so straightforward or sensible as "We hate Jews because Jews sadistically kill us." That would be rational, and a reasonable response would be proving that Jews arent sadistic killers. But that isn't the case, so such a seinsible response is foolish.

I have often wondered why there seemes to have been so little resistance to the final solution. With the exception of a ghetto uprising, the possibly apocryphal Defiance, and the probability that some partisans must have been jewish, is it because of some strange racial resignment to fate, or because anti-nazi activities bt jews are given such a small press - perhaps in the belief that to be anything other than the victim makes Jews fair game for anti-semitism?

If the Jews of 1930s Germany had acted like the modern Israelis do, then the story of WW2 would have been greatly different.
