An absolutely incredible flick. Worth repeated viewings. A completely fantastical view of a glorious "what-if" scenario for a WWII film. The modern day version of Lee Marvin's "Dirty Dozen". This is not your granddaddy's war movie.
It was a real joy sitting there and watching pop get such a kick out of seeing the good guys play so dirty. It dawned on me that those Basterds up on the big screen were a fictional manifestation of Pop's exact style of combating the enemy.... dirty, ruthless and with more passion than Louis L'Amour. He would probably refer to it as just an "extension of his naturalism". And it is just that.
His attitude is top notch. This whole ordeal was simply a call to arms and he suits up everyday ready to do whatever is necessary to fight back. He has already surpassed many of the early expectations of negative side effects of treatment and I truly believe that is in a large part due to sheer will power.
Poppa is good. Do yourself a favor and take somebody you love out to eat and maybe even a chance to see a little Nazi-killin' to boot! Enjoy the weekend.--------------Jr.
