Inglorious Basterds (2009)
In 1941 SS colonel Hans Landa forces his way into the home of French farmer Perrier LaPadite. He is found to be housing a family of Jews beneath his floorboards.
Hans Landa then kills the family, save for the daughter Shosanna, who manages to escape. By the time the year 1944 arrives, a group of Jewish-American soldiers called the Bastards are brutally killing German soldiers. This group is also notorious for carving swastikas onto the foreheads of any German soldiers they spare.
Around the time the Bastards surface, Shosanna resurfaces with a conniving plan. She is now the owner of a cinema and conveniently meets Joseph Goebbels, a man who was responsible for the deaths of over 200. He is the star of a Nazi propaganda film and she convinces him to hold the premiere in her theatre.
Expectedly his film draws in the top leaders of the Nazi party. On the night of the film, a clip of Shosanna announcing the Nazis have been locked in and will burn to death plays in the middle of the film. Though the plan does not go entirely as anticipated, every last Nazi in that theatre is burned to death.
The final scene shows the saved Hans Landa with a swastika carved into his forehead.
