Eli Roth was unforgettable playing “The Bear Jew” in Inglourious Basterds, Quentin Tarantino’s audacious wish-fulfilling WWII epic that posited the successful assassination of Adolf Hitler. I just caught up with this: Roth’s father, who is a Harvard professor and psychoanalyst, wrote a thoughtful, surprisingly moving essay on the pride he felt watching his son onscreen “machine-gun the Fuhrer’s face to a bloody pulp.”
