Despite the Inglorious Basterds being an empowering group of mainly Jewish Soldiers fighting Nazi’s, the fact that Brad Pitt is not Jewish and leads these men is a bit ironic since Tarantino gave Jewish soldiers only so much agency. The idea of a “Bear Jew” bludgeoning Nazi’s with a baseball is epic. An american emblem killing a soldier who represents the exact opposite of American ideologies… or does he? Scalping Nazi’s grants the soldiers the retribution they deserve while referencing the atrocities the American people and government have subjected Indigenous people to. Even though Brad Pitt’s character claims Native American ancestry I’m calling an Elizabeth Warren. Because even if his character is, Brad Pitt himself is not Indigenous so his character isn’t.
