I'm hoping that Tarantino for once actually used violence for a point rather than just his 9,000th blood splatter fest. I left the film truly hoping that he got the irony of making one group so evil that you could do all sorts of horrific things to them and everyone would just laugh and laugh, when that's exactly what the Nazis did with the Jews. I think he did get it, because he showed Hitler laughing and laughing through the film of Jews being killed. I guess what I'm really hoping is that the audience got that point. The likelihood that many may have 'loaded up on dessert without eating their peas' doesn't bode well for our ability to avert future genocide. Strange, I have the opposite comment.

When I first left the theater I enjoyed the movie, and felt okay, but the more I think back on it, the more I'm just disappointed. The movie wasn't Death Proof, but it was certainly more Death Proof than it was Kill Bill. The opening scene WAS wonderful film, but the intensity of it went sharply downhill after that, and the excitement of the film went with it. I get what was being aimed for, the build-up, the cat-and-mouse, and the tension as to when the game is going to crash down, and...it worked to a point, but just...I wanted so much more. I wanted rampaging through the country, killing Nazis. I wanted more of Brad Pitts manic energy, and the Bear-Jew. we won't ever see that movie, I don't think, and that is always going to taint my perception of this film. **SPOILERS**
