A Jewish 2001: A Space Odyssey

Rating: 10/10 (11 November 2014)

To put it bluntly, I think it's a Jewish themed 2001: A Space Odyssey with the macguffin being cinema instead of monoliths. In 2001 the monoliths served as some strange otherterrestrial entity that would ultimately lead to the next step in specie-al evolution and in Basterds cinema serves as the agent of Jewish vengeance that would execute the toppling of the Third Reich, and so whether consciously or not I think it follows the same pattern as 2001 showcasing the boundlessness of space exploration and the advancement of our race with the power of cinema and how it can save the world.
