Inglorious Basterds - Nooooot a big hit in Berlin..

I went out with my friends Hillary, Scott, and June (all UC students doing a year abroad). Real chill kids, and we went to see Inglorious Basterds with some other UC students studying abroad (seriously, Cali is taking over this place). Well.. lets just say, we saw the movie and ... it didn't go over too well. People were staying until the end of the credits, which.. I don't know if that's common in Europe. I thought it might have been from the shock of seeing the Nazi's go down, or Hitler dying, but... I dunno, the Germans didn't exactly applaud.

I can only really liken it to a stock broker on Black Tuesday I'd imagine. Yes yes, Germany. Good things yes. We are German, we are strong. (Insert part where Tarantino does his thing) ... Silence. More silence. No reaction. Just sitting there. Like someone who just went all in at a poker table and realized, shit my 5 2 offsuit is indeed going to lose in this hand. Or like a Roberto Baggio in the 94 World Cup after he duffed the PK. What can you really say I guess? That's the reaction the crowd gave.

For me.. it was a good movie, but.. I had no idea what was going on. Everything in German was not subtitled, and everything in French was subtitled.. in German. So... it was interesting for sure to hear all this talking and have no idea what they were talking about.
