Why do so many Yanks have trouble with this film?

This film describes fighting between two of the worst governments on the planet at the time. After the war, one became better and the other got even worse.
The photography was beautiful, so I gave it 7/10. -

jm,
Nearly all (educated) Americans know that the USA was at most a bit player in the European theatre of WW2.
Your opinion is not even wrong.
For your own safety, I advise not sharing that opinion with an American WWII vet who lost many fellow soldiers, Marines, army air corps, and naval personnel in European fighting. -

The Communist rap sheet with 100-150 million dead is unsurpassed and unequaled.
The human race has killed
far
more than that, and you're a member of that group.
Next time we will be carving up Russia instead. Like it was supposed to be in the first place, and would have been all for the better.
Hope you get your war sometime buddy, maybe you'll get to mow down some Russian kids so they won't grow up into stinking commies that you'll have to kill later.
Don't forget to smear some blood on your face so you can feel like a man for about 5 minutes. -

I'm a "Yank" and like this film quite a bit.
The o.p.'s interest in the cinema tastes of American viewers is not uncommon amongst some (often times from the UK) who seem to obsess over what we like and don't like (more appropriately what they believe we like and don't like). Note the assumptions he made based upon his own skewed beliefs. -

Actually, US-based viewers gave this film a lower-than-average iMDB score, although there is no basis to formulate a reason why.

The seemingly endless staring straight into the camera by the main actors with increasingly goofy, unintentionally funny looks on their faces puts a full spread of torpedoes into this movie well below the waterline.
Send her to the snakes! -

Interesting! The only group that
really
gave it a low rating is females over 45. I wonder what's up with that?
My top 250:

It boils down to this: Americans do not have any cultural idea of being occupied by a foreign power. So we don't understand the kind of resentment that builds from that sort of thing. Nor do we understand the ebbs and flows of such a dynamic either. The Holocaust is horrifying as an idea to Americans, the Holocaust is horrifying to Eastern Europe as a reality.
