520			_aQuentin Tarantino’s Second World War fantasy, Inglourious Basterds, features a taut scene in the beginning where the antagonist, SS Colonel Hans Landa—a Nazi detective on the lookout for fugitive Jews—interrogates a French farmer, Pierre LaPadite. The scene isn’t a classic ‘interrogation’ with violence and open intimidation, but one where Landa slowly and methodically extracts from LaPadite the exact location of where the Jews are hiding in his house. During this back and forth, Landa compares Jews, as Nazis were wont to do, to rats, but surprisingly proclaims that he does not see the comparison as an insult. Landa points out that a rat must survive in a hostile world not of its making, earning hatred for no obvious reason. He gets LaPadite to admit that humanity has learnt to despise rats for no reason even as other rodents, such as squirrels, capable of just as much harm, earn nowhere near enough hatred.- Reproduced
