Glorious Bastards

Summary: Jews Get to Win World War 2 this Time.

Like Inglorious Basterds, this is little more than an anti-anti-Semitic work: One would almost think it had been funded by the State of Israel as an allegory of their interminable wars with Near Eastern Arabs.

The characterization and bondedness of the characters is well-presented, but there is no real sense of why a war is being fought, only the dreadful fatigue of a conflict winding-down and that superficial movies like this are still being made.
