After the jump, you can watch all six minutes of Nation’s Pride, the fake Nazi propaganda movie within the movie Inglourious Basterds.  It was directed by Eli Roth, and it’s pretty good as far as fake Nazi propaganda made to look like real Nazi propaganda but not really by a Jew in 2009 goes.  I think if 2009 U.S. had a propaganda minister like Germany had Goebbels in the 40s, it’d be Michael Bay, and all his films would star the cast of Jersey Shore.  And the marquee said “Fist Pumpin.”

The Weinstein Co has released the trailer for Nation’s Pride, a Nazi propaganda film-within-a-film which you’ll apparently get to see bits and pieces of during Inglourious Basterds.  The Nation’s Pride trailer was actually directed by Eli Roth, who also contributed the Thanksgiving trailer (video below) that played in the middle of Grindhouse.  I like Eli Roth because he emailed me once.

The Nation’s Pride trailer, which purports to tell the story of fictional Nazi hero Fredrick Zoller (Daniel Bruhl), is a little odd in that it doesn’t really attempt to look like a German propaganda film at all.  It’s also in English, and at one point has a title card that says “crowned in gloury” — a meta-joke about Tarantino’s inability to spell, I presume.  Or maybe the entire film takes place in an alternate history, like Watchmen, only in Inglourious Basterds, pretty much everything is the same except that stuff is spelled differently. And Jews are all handsome and cool like Brad Pitt. Yes, those dyslexic Weinstein brothers are sure to love this one, Quentin whispered to his typewriter.
