As a Jewish American, I found Inglourious Basterds to be a very interesting and insightful movie. I have seen many holocaust films, depicting the horrors of the Nazi’s. However, Inglourious Basterds takes a different approach. Instead of showing how horrible the holocaust was, it shows an in-depth look at the human beings involved. Including the leaders of the Nazi’s, and a small but powerful group of Jews who rebelled. Tarantino made up a completely new story, that is not only compelling and insightful, but gives a deeper look into what drives human beings and their emotions. I have seen other Tarantino movies like Kill Bill and Pulp Fiction. His movies never disappoint, because they are intense character studies, which use cause and effect, and direct/indirect characterization to describe and analyze a situation. His filmmaking is such a pleasure to watch. However, his movies are only for the open-minded. So if you are not ready to analyze his unique ideas, then you may not be such a big fan. Inglourious Basterds is Tarantino’s interpretation on the holocaust, and what could have been. It goes to show that we are all human beings, and we all want the same thing: Significance. We all want our own significant role in making the world a better place. However, some of us have a very skewed perception on what actually can improve the world. Following the path of hate will never lead you anywhere good. Hitler tried to improve the world by filling it with hate for a specific group of people. In return, he became more evil by the day. Following the path of love will truly improve the world. Look at Gandhi and Mother Teresa. They wanted significance, and they wanted to make the world a better place. They followed the path of love, and look at what good they have done for humanity! Follow their example, and act out of love. Never follow what Hitler did, because it will contribute to the fall of humanity as we know it.
