Quentin Tarantino's Inglorious Bastards is already causing controversy in Germany due to a leaked script which includes Americans bashing, scalping, shooting and strangling German soldiers. Tobias Kneibe, film editor of the Suddeutsche Zeitung, expects Inglorious Bastards to be ripped apart upon its release.Even though Kneibe loved the script he expects that it will be hated with a passion by local critics.
"All the German historians and critics who were left gasping for breath by Tom Cruise and his worthy attempts will be so shocked by 'Inglorious Bastards' that they will savage it on the spot," Kniebe wrote in his article, THR reports. "The collision between Tarantino-style pop culture with the themes of the Holocaust and Jewish revenge (the 'Bastards' of the film are Jewish-American Nazi hunters) is unprecedented in Germany and its results are completely unpredictable."
I'm sure Tarantino is fully aware of the type of controversy this film will attract and he will love every freakin' minute of it.
