saw recently. got a hoot that the film pretended that brad pitt was captured just because the brits were big bad meanies who just capture and detain anyone on their soil, and not because he was a famous nazi officer.
(also, just totally, breathtakingly disingenuous -- the scene in which the chinese jut massacre the tibetans, viciously, only to be revealed to be just a bad dream of pitt's. wild.)
I recently found out about this movie, but I did not remember reading that Brad Pitt played the protagonist. This makes me wonder how many other actors of note have played both a Nazi character and a character directly opposed to Nazis. Not to mention that Pitt did the latter not only in Inglorious Basterds, but also in Fury!
7 years in Tibet, probably. Looking up the basic premise of the movie should tell you why.
