Quentin Tarantino talks Holocaust, nazis, movies in “Inglourious Basterds”

“Inglourious Basterds” is, in my opinion, a better movie then “Pulp Fiction”, and second only to “Reservoir Dogs” as Quentin Tarantino’s best. It’s a cinematic whirlwind of images and meta-texts, that turns WWII not only into a Spaghetti Western but also unto a movie-movie about cinema itself.
Granted, as an Israeli Jew, some of Tarantino’s choices seemed to go overboard from the irreverant to the rude, as far as Holocaust representations go (he seems like he’s actually rooting for the Nazis!). But in his press conference today in Tel Aviv, Tarantino was quite eloquent in explaining what he was trying to do, and some of his rhetoric was brilliant.
Here is 34 minutes of the press conference (that lasted 40 minutes). It has some great Tarantino bits, and Cristoph Waltz had a chance to shine once or twice as well:
