Aw, be as wanky as you'd like ♥

You just perfectly summed up Dan/Adrian. With Adrian, I think he's used to being adored simply because of the perfect image he projects to the public; but Dan, aside from being a genius inventor/tinkerer, is a regular guy who has essentially the same beliefs as Adrian when comes to being one of the Watchmen. To be around such a genuine, ordinary man probably keeps Adrian grounded (or at the very least, intrigues him).

I find some similarities with Shosanna/Fredrick; in the script, he shares personal details with her that he most likely wouldn't have told anyone else. And why would anyone else care, since they love him for being a big important war hero and film star? Shosanna learns of who Fredrick is and is disturbed by him being lauded for killing, which he can agree with (I see him as just wanting to survive a nearly impossible situation he's in). And as the script had shown (and Daniel expressed wordlessly), Fredrick likes that about Shosanna; she makes him feel grounded and human.

Tarantino did say that them shooting each other was them consummating their relationship. You could say that his love stories end like any other, with the pair walking off into the sunset together, but just by unconventional means.

I don't mean to discount Marcel in any way, he just doesn't hold my interest as Fredrick does with Shosanna. But yes, Marcel did demonstrate his love for Shosanna: He gave her his full cooperation and was willing to sacrifice himself for her (I myself believe that Marcel and Shosanna didn't expect to leave the theater alive; maybe not entirely a kamikaze mission, but they certainly knew there was a greater chance they'd die that night than survive it).

On a lighter note, I bet Utivich, Aldo, and Lee sent pretty postcards with smartass messages written on them to Landa (who probably spent the rest of his life in seclusion).

Edit to add: The background of [livejournal.com profile] un_amico is '70s fabric wallpaper. I love going to wallpaperfromthe70s.com for backgrounds.
