wist on trying to make it more of a story or book that went off of different point of views, as the movie did. The way the characters were portrayed or acted was very stereotypical which added a comical side to the story. Whether it was the southern American Lieutenant Aldo Raine who was very stubborn, or Hitler who sported a cape and mustache and had an anger issue, it added to the comedy of the film. The addition of the different point of views was a good way of learning how each of the characters was developed and what they believed in or were after. The major reason I believe they made the movie for is the “what if” factor. The movie gives a great idea of what the war could have been like with the death of the leader of the Axis Powers, or how it would have been different if Americans were able to get an insurgent team in. The idea of a different outcome because of a different approach could actually help teach history by showing the different causes and effects that could happen from choices. It can show how ridiculously comical and easy the war could have been avoided. It also helped give a sort of an idea of how the life of a runaway “Jew” was like, or German leaders, and what spies would have experienced during WWII. This movie could be used in a history class as many things. It could be used as a sort of propaganda for what WWII could have been like. It could be used to show what certain people’s situations and lives were like in that time in Europe, under Nazi order. Lastly, it could be used as a comparison between facts and fictional beliefs.

The film, “Inglourious Basterds”, brings a sort of enjoyment to the idea of a “what if” ending to WWII by giving an outlook on how there could have been spies who infiltrated the German system, portraying how the Germans hunted down Jewish families, and the way German Officers spent their leisure times. Overall, the movie being a historical fiction, is great and shows what the war could have been like if a different approach was taken. I think it is ok for historical fictions to have inaccuracies. It is a are part of propaganda, and can motivate future things or even affect future decisions that would shape history. It also brings enjoyment into storytelling and “what if” conversations, which can lead to more interest in the true history. It’s also ok that the film was a comedy because it reveals how propaganda can be funny and the comedy also adds a lightness to the movie overall. This Historical fiction would have been nice if it actually happened, but the consequences and outcomes of history after would have been very different and the world could have been altered from what i
