summary: "Now, I don't know about y'all, but I sure as hell didn't come down from the goddamn Smoky Mountains, cross five thousand miles of water, fight my way through half of Sicily and jump out of a fuckin' aer-o-plane to teach the Nazis lessons in humanity. Nazi ain't got no humanity. They're the foot soldiers of a Jew-hatin', mass murderin' maniac, and they need to be dee-stroyed."

Lyrics on AZ Lyrics
This is Tarantino's best movie; it's also the last Tarantino movie that I've seen. I think in this movie his problems and quirks as a director--the violence, the racism, the sexism--are either diminished or harnessed by the subject matter so that they work towards an actually morally defensible and enjoyable whole. Which is killing Hitler and a bunch of other Nazis, all of whom deserve it.
This vid is also what happens when my Good Omens-induced Queen obsession collides with my Equinox assignment. This was really the only song I considered for the vid, and I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out. I think there's an additional frisson of resonance between the fact that Freddie Mercury was gay and the Nazi persecution of queer people, which also pleases me.
