New Film Review

I love war films and went on Sunday AM to see the new film "The Inglorious Bastards" with Brad Pitt. Let me say first that Brad Pitt was recently quoted as criticizing the film "Valkyrie" and the part that Tom Cruise played. Wow--a case of the pot calling the kettle black. Both were rotten films in my opinion.
"Bastards" was absolutely nonsensical. Pitt was a American Lieutenant dropped into German occupied France along with a squad of Jewish soldiers whose mission was to capture, maim and kill Nazi's and bring terror to the Reich. Now, while the idea of Jewish soldiers killing Nazi's has merit and can be justified, the films depiction of these events is ludicrous. Some theater attendees cheered and clapped (mostly 20's & 30's) as one of the American Jewish soldiers scalped a Nazi. The final scene of a movie theater in France being burned down with Hitler, Goering and Goebbels inside was the last straw. I realize that this film was meant to be fictional, but give me a break, even as fiction it sucks bigtime.

Oddly------the professional reviewers give this film pretty good marks.
It must be a generational thing.
