Looks like a remake of the 1978 film.

Trailer looks fun.
I wish someone would make a realistic film of the S.S.F./ Black Devils someday.

The following is an excerpt from a August 27 entry on Jonathan Rosenbaum's blog:
Since many people have been asking me to elaborate on why I think Inglourious Basterds is akin to Holocaust denial, I’ll try to explain what I mean as succinctly as possible, by paraphrasing Roland Barthes: anything that makes Fascism unreal is wrong. (He was speaking about Pasolini’s Salo, but I think one can also say that anything that makes Nazism unreal is wrong.) For me, Inglourious Basterds makes the Holocaust harder, not easier to grasp as a historical reality. Insofar as it becomes a movie convention — by which I mean a reality derived only from other movies — it loses its historical reality. (emphasis in original)
Right or wrong about this movie, his point raises an interesting issue about any fictional film based on a violent reality.

But Inglourious Basterds isn't based on a violent reality, it is specifically based on the mythology of a subgenre of vintage films.ChiO wrote:

For that reason, it is much more accurately categorized as an Historical Fantasy Film, than a war movie; the single greatest proof of that distinction is when Tarantino's fifth chapter
SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT
depicts Adolph Hitler being riddled to death by a Basterd's machine gun bullets while trapped in a burning Paris theatre, as Borman, Goerring & Goebbels suffer fiery deaths, along with nearly half of the entire Nazi High Command. There are no doubles, it's not a dream, it's not a fake-out . . in the context of QT's alternate reality, it is the pivotal point of the Axis defeat in Europe.
