I definitely feel the same! I was apprehensive at first to write all that I have for them, but I'm ultimately very glad I did, just because of all of the people I've found who feel the same (and all this time later, I'm finding more and more here on LJ and tumblr). And of course, we have Quentin Tarantino on our side, and to an extent, Daniel and Mélanie, as the deciding factor in the casting of Shosanna depended upon the actress' chemistry with Daniel (and the two of them got along very well on set).

So much of Fredrick is overlooked by the majority of fans, I've noticed, especially his own trauma and the importance of he and Shosanna have to each other. Every detail and interaction between them led up to their deaths together in the projection booth. Quentin has never been one for a conventional love story. I can see how the fact that Fredrick is a German soldier and Shosanna is a Jewish woman can be off-putting, even discomforting, but ultimately, their connection and story, which is so insular and separate from the rest of the film, cannot be denied.

Ha! I really can't.
