1. What The Hell Happened To Hirschberg and The Rest Of 'The Basterds'
Out of the 8 Basterds that make up Aldo Raine's Nazi-killers, we only find out the fate of half of them. We know The Bear Jew (Roth) and Omar Ulmar (
Omar Doom) go down with the cinema, and that Hugo Stiglitz (
Til Schweiger) and Wilhelm Wicki (
Gedeon Becker) are killed in the bar scene. But what happened to Gerold Hirschberg (
Samm Levine), Andy Kagan (
Paul Rust), Michael Zimmerman (
Michael Bacall) and Simon Sakowitz (
Carlos Fidel) whom Tarantino makes such a big deal about in The Dirty Dozen scene near the beginning. For a movie titled Inglourious Basterds, it's just a shame that only half of the team get the spotlight and the others just seem like afterthoughts. Could he not have given them just one scene of glory or of note? So that's my five things that would improve Inglourious Basterds. Agree/disagree? Comments welcome...
