Torture Porn

Rating: 3/10 (21 August 2009)

Yes, Danny a Wood, I agree wholeheartedly with you This is what passes for "masterpiece" these days. Humor and violence porn, torture porn. People are so insensitive that they thrive on stereotypes and caricatures. Real characters and real events, daily struggles, the quotidian are not for our modern "Tarantino fans." They want blood, revenge, and shock. Shock and awe. Shock and kill. Kill Bill. Kill the Nazis. Dehumanize the Germans. At least some non-Nazis did die in this film, but it was almost all Nazis who did. And all Nazis were bad. Just one hint of humanity, no two. But they were expendable, too. A few non-Nazis died like suicide bombers who were dying for a cause. The good cause. And Posse10 I also agree with you. This was stereotyping of Germans, there wasn't a single human one in the film. And the stereotyping of Native Americans was also included as Pitt was supposed to be part "Apache." Most Native Americans know that it was the Europeans settlers who brought scalping to America. This is Hollywood at its worst and why Tarantino is touted as brilliant and artistic is beyond me. By jumping on the bandwagon and cheering for these dismal works of his we are merely perpetuating another form of Nazism - American glorification of violence, torture and stereotyping. The Nazis get treated as they treated others, therefore there was no redeeming quality about this film. Only revenge and bloodshed. Art appeals to the higher instincts of mankind, not the base instincts.
