This is a fun, if blood & guts is your kind of film, war movie. Betrayal, love and lots of mayhem. Actually, it is an alternate history movie. Has Tarantino been hanging around with SF writers? Turtledove, Stirling, Flint, etc. In any case the film moves along swiftly and with a big finish. The acting is quite good, tho Pitt does come across as having too much fun playing a hillbilly. I enjoyed the film.

I have an uncle who is a WW2 fanatic. Any movie about it, he just HAS to watch.
Recently, I feel war movies have been anti-war, and anti-America. I’ve heard that this one is different. Maybe I should see this one.

I don’t feel this is an anti-war film. It has lots of QT’s violence, but not of a massed variety normally seen in WWII films. Up close & personal.
It also ends the war a little bit earlier and in a better way.
