I've been watching too many war flicks. But I realised, I don't like watching violence all too much, especially when it's needless violence used for the shock factor. Featuring someone bludgeoning an enemy soldier to death with a baseball bat is just one of those. Was that even really necessary. A gun would have achieved the same end purpose. But of course this is war, and in war, hatred and violence are the driving motives.
It's always nice to see love taking over now and then. Perrier LaPadite turn over the Jews he was sheltering in his house to the Germans in Inglourious Basterds will probably haunt me for a long time. His tears hinted at his horror of what he had done. But his love for his daughters nudged him to work with the Germans, to obtain protection for them. Maybe it's just my imagination, projecting what I want to believe to be the truth onto the show. But I genuinely believe thats what the show wanted to portray.
