      When you realize that all of the bad things not white people were doing in *ToD* was _against_ the cultural norm, it's not really "culturally insensitive", is it?

      Not it wasn’t. Tarantino spent way to much time enjoying scenes where Jews were killed and murdered. The star of the movie was a nazi Jew hunter who lives. That movie is an abomination.

    I left this comment on the original vid, but I LOVE this fact! We Jews get told growing up to "not look into the Ark" (where they keep the torahs) during services, and the Nazis end up dying because of this distinct lack of care for Jewish culture! It's not just "haha Nazis dying" but it's also poetic justice! Judaism killed the Nazis at the end of the movie!

    It's also kinda funny how Steven Spielberg directed both
    Raiders Of The Lost Arc:
    A movie where the Nazis are portrayed as pretty watered down, cartoonishly evil grunts. And they are killed in a awesome horror scene.
    And he also directed Schindler's List: where the nazis are portrayed as... Well real humans.
    Which is so much more scary and disgusting. It's easy to forget that nazis were real people. Goes to show just how depraved and evil we can be

    Secret lore is that Belloq is a French Jew of Cohen ancestry. That's why he was so interested in opening the Ark using the ritual, and why he thought he could get away with it.
    His mistake was not realizing that God is not merely a Jew, but He is also a Frenchman and He would not tolerate Belloq's disloyalty to France.

    In hindsight yea, but most americans watching it just thought it was WWII film but without dealing with annoying bits like chain of command. That's why it was popular. If someone says they don't like Temple of Doom, I think that's the major reason why. If he was slapping 'japs' instead of cultists, I think people would of enjoyed it more.
