Is Inglourious Basterds a Jewish Revenge?

Movie Thought of the Day:

Inglourious Basterds is *not* a Jewish movie. Simply because it features revenge from a Jewish face's POV (Shoshanna) does not make it the same as if Tarantino wrote it with Jewish motives. Is there underlying sympathy towards the Jews? Duh. Does any WWII movie not? 

QT answers the question in the movie itself.
"So my character is American.....and that's controversial."

"No, it's not controversial at all. The nationality of the author has nothing to do with the nationality of the character. The character is the character. Hamlet was not British. He is Danish. So yes, this character was born in America."


See, Diane Kruger gets it.
