Hehehe, I wonder if this review of Slaughterhouse Five on Netflix

[ET Awful]

was done by a Freeper:

"After seeing all the reviews for this movie I decided to give it a chance even though I did'nt read the book. This movie is more liked a nazi propaganda film if anything. As the main part of the movie focuses on a young man in an American POW camp. I had to laph out loud when I saw the Nazi soldiers. They were not like guards but babysitters. Letting the prisoners roam around freely and have parties. In all reality these people probably would been shot before being taken prisoners and spend most of there time being tortured and humilated in search of information. During the movie they constantly refer to the bombing of Dredsen of being so horrible and awfull. It totally overlooks all the cruel and inhumane things the German soldier did and portrays them as friendly people just doing there job. The movie had a good idea but with shallow characters, corny dialoge, and totally inacurate facts I really felt like I wasted Two hours of my life. You might like if you read the book."

Hmmm, can't read book, poor grammar, equates Vonnegut to "Nazi propaganda". Yup, I'd say it was a freeper review :)

1. yeah, that's right, Vonnegut liked the Nazis

obviously this person knows nothing about the context of the story, nor do they manage to see the 'big picture' contained therein.

:eyes:

2. I once had a freeptard try to convince me that......

"All Quiet On the Western Front" was NOT an anti-war book.

Also....

Once had another freep try and tell me that the reason that the tribesmen at the end of "Zulu" did not attack was because they were afraid of getting their asses kicked by the Britsh (white men).

These people are disturbed. I think that mostly they suffer from low self-esteem.

9. Low self-esteem? Why, because of the massive stupidity?

Isn't low self-esteem warranted in some cases? Perhaps it can even be a good thing, if one is motivated to improve oneself as a result of addressing the self-esteem issues.

11. Or one could just lie their way into thinking that they're right....

Which is the same as massive stupidity.

They've never been able to live up to their own expectations....so they need to fudge the facts to make themselves feel better about themselves.

I guess that's what I mean.

3. My brain hurts now.. the grammar, I mean the lack of grammar and spelling!

Ow ow ow ow.. the pain.

What the hell is "laph"???????????????????

[Solly Mack]

4. It was done by an idiot for certain

[nickgutierrez]

5. LOL

Yes. Kurt Vonnegut was a Nazi sympethizer. :eyes:

What the fuck are these people thinking?

[eyepaddle]

6. I liked the author's grammar and spelling..

it was so....unanticipated. You really just did not know what you would see next!

[hfojvt]

7. The reviewer has a perception of Nazis

that he/she probably got from the movies. He/she certainly does not know that Vonnegut was really there on the ground in Dresden. A little background research into the author would help.
I have not done research into this, but it would be ironic wouldn't it, if even the Nazis followed the Geneva convention whereas Bush/Gonzales do not.

[underpants]

12. OR he could try reading the book

really any book will do

[patcox2]

8. They have to believe we are better than the nazis.

Therefore, they must reject any depiction of the way the nazis treated prisoners which depicts the truth, which is that we are much more brutal in Gitmo and even in an average american jail than the nazis were.

They are also obviously unaware that the rules in WWII were such that military POWs were actually allowed a bit of autonomy within the prison camps. To some extent they were in fact left alone, so long as they did not get out of line. The prisoners were supposed to set up their own internal administration, the higher ranks were to police their own soldiers, and on many day to day issues, they were to run things. The germans would go to the american leaders and tell them, for example, "your men are doing this and we want you to stop it" or whatever.

Simple fact is, our society now is in some ways more generally violent and authoritarian than nazi germany.

10. Yes, they do not realize that POWs were treated much better than

prisoners in concentration camps, who were there to be either exterminated immediately or worked to death.
