Review
I went to see this movie last night with the expectation that it would be intelligent, stylish, and action packed. The movie exceeded my expectations in this respect, it was Tarantino doing what he does best, shocking us with extreme contrasts and multilayered irony, all wrapped in a fashionable cinematic package, and garnished with a timeless musical soundtrack.

As I said, this is what I expected, so I was not surprised at the extent of production that went into the film. I also wasn’t surprised by its political innuendo and ulterior motives.

Timing of films release
Lets begin with the obvious issue of the timing of the films release. Chance seems to favor the oppressor in this movie, as nothing could be better for the corrupt state of Israel, then to vilify all opposition in the same way the movie 300 vilified the "evil Asian armies" or anyone who wasn’t white. Tarantino’s largely liberal following will walk away from this film knowing less then they did before they seen it.

Clearly Tarantino wanted to show the Nazis for what they were, a ruthless political party with a backwards philosophy and complete disregard for human life. In this respect he succeeded brilliantly. But in the beginning of the movie his explanations for the Nazis motives are very narrow... When the main antagonist (a major who works as an SS goon squad leader) describes the Nazi motive in a metaphor about rats, he gives the impression that the Nazis didn’t know why they disliked Jews; that the merely wanted something to hate, and were using them as a scapegoat. This explanation would suffice for anyone content bypassing critical thought, but for those of us who like to think, we can’t help but dip in and try to enhance our understandings. Clearly there was a reason why the Nazis hated the Jews, as illegitimate as they may have been, there was in fact a reason. In addition to the divisive function of Nazi propaganda which paved the way for the SS to take control of Germany, they also thought that Jews were greedy power hungry people, likely a projection of their own ambitions of course, but nonetheless there WAS motive. This doesn’t mean it was justified, but just to demonstrate that in their minds (Nazis) there was in fact a reason for what they did. To think it was simply for no reason at all is naive, but that is the message that is being communicated in the film. Hollywood constantly reaffirms our false notions about human nature in depicting even the most ruthless as not possessing motive. As if to say that evil in this world is distinct and comes with a convenient label and that it is up to the people who make movies to define those labels for you. The shallow explanations upon which we base our understandings of the world and the sociohistorical progression of events is complimented by this films lack of depth.

The oppressed as oppressor
Throughout the film and cumulating in the end we see the ruthlessness of the Jew as trained by his oppressor. The retributive brutality inflicted upon the Nazis in the movie is held as a triumph of good over evil. The barbarism of seeing a human beings (nazi) skull smashed open with a baseball bat to the avail of a dozen cheering Jews, is delivered heroically, it is considered justified, and the war hungry audience complies with laughter and satisfaction. Countless times throughout the film we see how the Jew is morphed into his oppressor, compounding in the final and most violent of scenes in which he wields supreme power over the Nazi, and is merciless and bloodthirsty, only this time there is no disgust, and no sadness or anger in the crowd, only contention. THE JEW IS THE SUPREME BEING NOW, HE IS THE CHOSEN ONE, THE UBERMAN...

HOW IRONIC IS IT THAT WE CAME TO EMBRACE THE SAME BEHAVIOR IN ONE PERSON THAT WE CONDEMN IN ANOTHER!!! BECAUSE WE ARE BRAINDEAD ASSHOLES WHO ABSOLUTELY REVEL IN CONVENIENT YET STYLISH BULLSHIT THAT'S WHY!!!

A work of fiction misleads
The movie is selectively fictional, but it will be interpreted by many as factual.

Ulterior motives
The reason for this film is clear; to bolster support for Israel, while retaining our warlike notions of justice. Unfortunately the atrocities committed against Palestinians (who are not German) are likely to be shielded from criticism by the references to the adversity of the Jew in 'Inglorious Bastards' by thinking animals aborad. Yet again this movie like everything out of Hollywood, seeks to suspend us in bullshit political dialectics while compromising the pursuits of actual enlightened social justice advocates. It suspends us yet again in this war between Aryans and Jews, and not the more imperative and objective 'rich and poor' distinction we should be focusing on.

When you have a society conditioned to not question motive, you don't have a society you have an army in waiting. So long as our definitions are narrow and we feebly play into the Zion vs Aryan enmity, we will never transcend this vicious cycle of hate and oppression. I for one don't want to be dictated to by either...
 
Verdict
My final verdict is that it is a great propaganda film.
