Kill Bill

[kelber at mindspring.com]

In the script it's mentioned in passing that some of the commandos are Jewish, but it doesn't figure much in the plot.  Much of the story revolves around the pretense that Goebbels has a major body of work as a film director.  The Brad Pitt trailer is one small scene in the movie that makes it look as if the whole film's going to be about torturing Nazis.  It's not.
