This scene in “Inglorious Basterds” stuck with me after watching it because this is how Americans felt about Native Americans throughout history. Americans felt that the natives were savages and needed to be killed or somehow converted to a more civilized way of life. Now Lt. Raine feels the same way about Nazis. This scene is another subtle reference to the genocide of Native Americans because Lt. Aldo Raine has “a little injian” in him. Being one of the themes that Quentin Tarantino continues throughout the entire movie with the “King Kong” reference and slavery references makes this is an important scene.
