Here is a basic *spoiler* filled synopsis of the movie. An American Captain leads a group of Jewish American soldier/hitmen to infiltrate Occupied France to basically terrorize German troops with hit and fade operations where they kill and then scalp each German soldier and the officers are beat to death with a baseball bat (one partidular soldier nicknamed the Bear Jew performs this.)<br /><br />It is a revenge fantasy with really no basis at all in historic reality. There is a side plot involving a Jewish lady whose family is killed at the beginning where her cinema is chosen by the high command to premier a propoganda film which Hitler himself attends. The film ends with her plot to lock all of these high ranking Nazis inside the theater while she burns it down and at the same time two of the basterds get in and find Hitler and mow him down with machine guns. 2 out of 5... if you were really bored and wanted to kill a couple hours this would serve I guess.Percussivityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02567902722009628447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-518679839321899334.post-76076640619271769042010-01-29T12:14:46.643-06:002010-01-29T12:14:46.643-06:00I wasn't sure if it was serious or comedy. Da...I wasn't sure if it was serious or comedy. Dark comedy some say. Puzzling is what I say. Was it good? Was it bad? What the heck was it about? I wonder how many people will actually think that is how WWII ended...The Unabashed Bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15524722189237777302noreply@blogger.com
