Why yes, it is problematic of me to like this.  
If you've not seen this film, then don't read the following quote.

Tarantino's thoughts on a particular scene in Inglourious Basterds:

"Everything Zoller did that ended up fucking her up and putting her in this situation, he did with good intentions. His biggest crime was liking her. I think of that scene as a romantic scene. It's Romeo and Juliet. Those bullets? That's them consummating their relationship. In any other time in the 20th century, they could have been in love. Except for that one time."

http://suspiriorum.livejournal.com/: Funny how I find myself in love with you[identity profile] suspiriorum.livejournal.com on August 27th, 2009 10:00 pm (UTC)
THANK YOU.

I don't want to come off as a creepy Nazi fetishist (I absolutely do not and find fault with such a thing), but I feel the same way you do about the two of them. I've heard many times since the film opened that to have sympathy for Fredrick and to feel that there was something between he and Shosanna means that you're into abusive men, etc., etc., but even Tarantino said that he didn't want to make the film easy for anyone and wants viewers to feel conflicted.

My heart sank with hers when he started talking about Goebbels and I wish Fredrick knew who Shosanna was and what she went through, but by then, it was too late and there was no going back.

Ramble ramble ramble, but it was a welcomed relief to have the Bear Jew come back in after their deaths.

Anywho, I'm glad QT confirmed what I felt.
