However, Inglourious Basterds is perhaps most notable for its treatment of history. The film culminates in a spectacular act of revisionist history where Hitler and the Nazi high command are assassinated in a burning cinema. This ending is a radical departure from historical fact, serving as a cinematic catharsis. By burning the Nazi leadership to the ground, Tarantino uses the medium of film as a weapon. The movie posits that cinema itself has the power to correct the sins of the past. The setting of the finale—a movie theater—is significant. It is here that Shosanna Dreyfus, the Jewish survivor who owns the cinema, enacts her revenge, projecting her own image onto the screen to declare, "I have a message for Germany." In this moment, the victim reclaims the narrative, literally using film to incinerate her oppressors.
