Sho/Fred brings people together! She sounds sweet, I`ll have to check her tumblr from time to time. Awww, thanks so much, that made my day! I went through a lot of different phases with my style of art, so I`m glad to finally find something that works for me.

I think that knowing the artist`s creative process and inspiration can be very insightful, especially when exploring a lesser known character or pairing. There`s always some detail in films that I fail to catch and later have it explained in an interview with the creator. Maybe the guy had already made up his mind about Fredrick and Shosanna`s relationship, and couldn`t be shaken (no even by QT, which does bother me a little bit, as well).

I don`t remember what the script says about Fredrick`s enlistment (we hardly get any background about him at all in the film), but as far as I know, yes, he and Shosanna were the only two in the film that didn`t willing take part in the war. Despite their deaths` obvious violence, it`s still much better than what could`ve happened, and I think some fans who were angered over the projection booth scene tend to miss that. The thought of him getting machine gunned to death and Shosanna burning to death alone just rubs me the wrong way.

Very true, upon my first viewing of IB, I was nervous that Landa was actually going to rape her first. I`ll have to go back at some point, and watch the scene again, and look for those clues. It was very different than the projection booth scene, to say the least, which is why I suppose I get so worked up when people say that Fredrick was out to rape Shosanna after charging through the door. However subtle, there`s a lot to be touched on in that scene that most fans don`t bother thinking about. I`m not sure why, but Shosanna and Marcel`s relationship was hard for me to figure out (I guess my mind just has trouble seeing the obvious side of things sometimes haha). It`s almost like QT wanted us to have a more straightforward romance to compare Shosanna and Fredrick`s relationship to.

I`m a bit new to LJ, so it`s a little confusing at times, but I`m adjusting.
