You're right about the general Amero-centricness of WWII movies and the false perception that America had anything to do with the victory in Europe (Hell, the British didn't), but this movie isn't even about the Americans, they're just a colorful cast of side characters.

My rant more had nothing to do with the movie, even though it made almost no sense sorry.
You're right, I just didn't care for the movie. I found the way the Basterds treated the Nazis to be darkly ironic but in a way that I just couldn't enjoy. It's the same reason I have trouble with the League of Extraordinary Gentleman - Hawley Griffin is a rapist for christ sakes. It's hard for me to be entertained by things that I find morally repulsive. That was the problem I have with the Basterds. I understand they were supposed to be comedic but most of the time I was just feeling a little bit disgusted by them.
