Inglorious Bastards ain't your average war flick or history lesson, it's Tarantino doing his offbeat thing. The humor's not mocking the war, but poking at the villains. The Basterds are soldiers, not a hit squad against innocents. The cinema cheers? That's just folks enjoying seeing the Nazis get some comeuppance. If you didn't dig it, cool. But remember, Tarantino's all about pushing buttons and sparking chatter. If it got under your skin, maybe it hit the mark.
