LOS ANGELES , California ( CNN ) -- Quentin Tarantino 's new movie `` Inglourious Basterds '' comes with a film inside the film , a Nazi propaganda movie promoting the glory of Germany 's Third Reich . Eli Roth and Brad Pitt star in `` Inglourious Basterds . '' Roth also directed a short film within the film . Tarantino said he 's not worried people might be offended by the short film , which is being promoted by a trailer that is now a viral video on the Internet . `` You would have to have absolutely , positively no sense of humor at all not to get it , '' Tarantino said . `` Stolz der Nation '' -- which translates into English as `` Nation 's Pride '' -- was produced true to the style of Joseph Goebbels , Adolf Hitler 's propaganda minister , but by Eli Roth , the director-actor who also plays one of Tarantino 's `` Basterds '' known as the `` Bear Jew . '' `` There was something that we enjoyed immensely about the idea of a Jew making a Nazi propaganda movie , '' Tarantino said . Watch Tarantino talk about how `` Nation 's Pride '' was made » . Roth , well known for his R-rated horror flicks such as `` Hostel , '' said while growing up as a Jewish boy in Boston , Massachusetts , he never dreamed he would make a Nazi propaganda film . `` After 'Hostel 2 , ' I thought 'God , what can I make that 's more offensive and upsetting than this film , ' but somehow I did it with 'Nation 's Pride , ' '' Roth said . Roth viewed the black-and-white film as a character in `` Inglourious Basterds , '' a World War II fairy tale about a squad of Jewish-American soldiers who infiltrate behind enemy lines to terrorize the German army . Their plot to assassinate Hitler focuses on a small Paris , France , theater where Germany 's leadership is gathered for the premiere of Goebbels ' movie . The black-and-white film glorifies a fictional war hero played by Daniel Bruhl `` and the glory of the swastika and the power of Germany , '' Roth said . `` His courage was bound by duty . His legend was baptized in blood . His name will be crowned in glory , '' the trailer 's narrator says as Pvt . Fredrick Zoller picks off dozens of American soldiers from a sniper 's nest . `` Being Jewish , I wanted to make it a real propaganda film , '' Roth said . `` I was , like , I want to show what these movies are like . I do n't want to do a sanitized version . '' Using just 20 extras and five stuntmen , Roth shot the five-and-a-half-minute film in three days in Gorlitz , Germany , the same town where `` The Reader '' was filmed a year earlier , he said . `` The whole time we were shooting , we were , like , not only does this have to impress Quentin , this has got to impress the Fuhrer , '' he said . `` Hitler has to see this and go 'This is your finest work . ' '' `` The German crew were going 'God , normally , we ca n't do this . This is so illegal . ' And I was , like , 'this is what they did , ' '' he said . `` This is what Joseph Goebbels would have done , and this has got to be honest and accurate . '' While only parts of `` Nation 's Pride '' are seen in `` Inglourious Basterds , '' Roth said Tarantino will likely include the complete film as a bonus on the DVD . `` Inglourious Basterds , '' starring Brad Pitt , opens across the United States on August 21 .
