nazis don't need any more bad press either, but inglourious won't be the last movie about how bad nazis were. nor should it be.

the movie takes place before the civil war, so we don't know the character's or filmmaker's view of the civil war, emancipation, or the aftermath of either of those. it's just dealing with one guy's struggle to be free and exact revenge on slave owners. is a post-civil war movie more necessary/relevant? probably, but why is that on QT? he wasn't trying to make that film. if anything, this complaint lies more on Lincoln than Django.

more simply: i haven't seen the film, but from the ads/trailers it looks like he's mostly going for comedy, so imo this discussion is already WAY too serious for this film. there's two types of comedy films: funny and unfunny. that doesn't absolve them of all social responsibility or necessity, but pretty close.
