Christoph Waltz won two Oscars. One for the role of ultaracist - Hans Landa in Inglorious Basterds, the other for the role of antiracist - King Schultz in Django Unchained. A classy actor
The other interesting fact that amazes me is that Christoph Waltz is a distinguished multilingual actor also as Daniel Brühl who played Fredrick Zoller)
Dude... limiing the image of Landa as ultraracist is such an ungrateful... viewership. He is intrensicly simple opportunist but at the same time when he despizes jewish rodent manners he shows absolutly same manners with such an aristocratic posture! Its actually a story about an artist in a nazy uniform. Speaking of artists and third reich...
Dr Schultz wasn’t anti racist, he was fine with using slavery to his advantage by his own admission, and then puts Django and his wife in danger of being re-enslaved or killed just because he couldn’t put his own ego aside for a minute… that character is Tarantino criticizing the insidious and polite racism of liberals
Yea, that had me the first time I watched the movie, the second time I watched, the line "Kein mensch glaubt wirklich dass der bären jude ein golem ist" had me rolling. Also, he proclaimed to be the best Italian speaker of the bunch. X)
My favorite part about this movie is different languages. And using high profile actors from France, Germany, England and America. It’s a really cool international collab
The feeling/question that the director wanted to convey in most scenes is “Does Hans Landa know?” And I think it’s shown brilliantly. You never can tell how much he actually knows until it’s too late and he’s backed you into a corner
Christoph Waltz definitely deserved his Oscar for his portrayal of Hans Landa. His little smiles, his sudden mood changes and the tension is so amazingly portrayed by Waltz. Waltz was even instructed by Tarantino to not rehearse with the other cast as he wanted to shock the other actors as to how good Waltz was in their preparation.
Fired? You idiot, he just wasn't around because he was acting in this project. You must never have worked a real job if you think you can get a job back after being "fired", he was just absent.
@@siyem2051 I thought it was funny, i wasn’t trying to be a dick, i ask you read it jovially and not as an offence please, thank you (and apologies if you were offended on someone elses behalf)
17:26 is one of my favourite moments in any film. "Ah, Landa!" and then the INDUSTRIAL BEAT and it's just... perfection. Fear, dread, surprise, despair.
Fun facts 1. Quentin Tarantino was considering abandoning the film while the casting searched for someone to play Colonel Hans Landa fearing he'd written a role that was unplayable. After Christoph Waltz auditioned however both Tarantino and producer Lawrence Bender agreed they had found the perfect actor for the role. 2. This is the first Quentin Tarantino film to win an Oscar for acting Christoph Waltz for Best Actor in a Supporting Role. Waltz won another Oscar for Tarantino's Django Unchained (2012) while his Inglorious Basterds costar Brad Pitt would go on to win his first acting Oscar at the end of the decade for Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. 3. At the end of each take actors would face the camera and say "Hello Sally" referring to Sally Menke the film's editor. This practice has occurred since Quentin Tarantino's previous movies (such as Kill Bill Vol. 1 (2003), Kill Bill Vol. 2 (2004), Death Proof (2007)). Inglourious Basterds was the last film by Tarantino to be edited by Menke whose work was honored in 2010 with her final Academy Award nomination for Best Editing prior to her death later that year. 4. Christoph Waltz dubbed his own performance in the German version. 5. Michael Fassbender's performance as Lieutenant Archie Hilcox is layered with irony. Fassbender was born in Germany to German and Irish parents and raised in Ireland. He now resides in London with fluency in German as his first language Gaelige as his second and English as his third and a mastery of English accents and dialects. Here he plays an Englishman who goes undercover as a German and who can speak German fluently but has difficulty hiding his accent. 6. Colonel Hans Landa (Christoph Waltz) speaks the most languages in the movie four (English, French, German, and Italian). 7. One of the Jewish names carved on The Bear Jew's (Eli Roth's) bat is Anne Frank. 8. For his performance in this film Christoph Waltz became one of seven performers to win an Oscar playing a character that mostly spoke in a foreign language (German, French, and Italian). The others are Sophia Loren, Robert De Niro, Roberto Benigni, Benicio Del Toro, Marion Cotillard, and Youn Yuh-Jung. 9. This was Quentin Tarantino's film with the most Academy Award nominations (eight) until Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019) which earned ten winning two. 10. Quentin Tarantino approached Adam Sandler to play Sergeant Donny Donowitz but Sandler had to turn it down because the schedule conflicted with the filming of Funny People (2009). 11. The giant swastika falling down in the final scene is real. It was a mistake that happened on the set. 12. In the scene where Colonel Hans Landa (Christoph Waltz) strangled Bridget von Hammersmark (Diane Kruger) the hands doing the strangling are those of writer and director Quentin Tarantino. 13. Chapter Three is the only chapter throughout the movie where someone doesn't die and the only chapter where English is not spoken. 14. Despite his reputation and being leader of the Basterds Aldo Raine is only seen killing one person on-screen at the end when he shoots the radio operator. 15. Body Count three hundred and one. 17. In this film Brad Pitt's Lt. Aldo Raine he demands scalping of as many Nazi Germans as possible during World War II. In Legends of the Fall (1994) Brad Pitt's Tristan avenges his brother death by killing and scalping many German soldiers during the World War I. 18. Harvey Keitel the voice of the American officer negotiating on the wireless radio with Raine and Landa. 19. In the original draft of the script Wilhelm survives being shot by Bridget von Hammersmark and it is his information provided to Colonel Hans Landa that blows her cover. 20. Eli Roth's character Sgt. Donny Donowitz is part of the Tarantino-verse sharing the last name of the film producer character Lee Donowitz in the Tarantino-written "True Romance" where Lee Donowitz produced a war film "Comin' Home in a Body Bag". According to an interview Tarantino conducted with Ron Bennington Donny is Lee's father. 21. Aldo Raine is the father of Cliff Booth who is Rick Daltons long time stuntman from Quentin Tarantino's 9 film Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. There is no clear story to the Birth of Cliff Booth the only information we have so far is Aldo Raine is Cliff's father and Cliff took his mother's last name of Booth.
This is the most intense opening scene in movie history to me. Saving Private Ryan in its own rights, but that wasn't until the beaches of Normandy. This was just a conversation, with more tension than you can imagine. And a glass of milk instead of German artillery. Quentin is a genius. I.Q. of 160.
18:25 Fun Fact: At that time many Strudels were served with cream that was not vegetable but rather pork lard, that's why Landa insists that she wait for the cream, Landa knows who she could be so he provokes her with the glass of milk and tests her with the cream, the Jews cannot eat anything made of pork so she eats to save her life. In the end it is seen that Landa wanted to tell her about his suspicions but since she ate the Strudel with lard he says that he doesn't remember it and just leaves.
27:36 - It's odd for germans to gesture the number three the way he did (index, middle and ring finger). They usually use the thumb, index and middle fingers instead. That's what that look was for.
In my opinion, Christoph Waltz is the premier actor of our times. I am blown away by the way he can go from utterly charming and disarming in one moment to terrifyingly menacing and threatening in the next instant - superb! His mastery of dialogue was also on display just as effectively in “Django Unchained,” another Quentin Tarantino masterpiece.
Hans Landa didn’t shoot because it would have been a likely miss with his pistol at that range-Also, he had his win and it amused him to spare Shoshana made him feel powerful.
Great reaction Alyska like always, Love this movie, there are some fun-facts about it, in the beginning of the movie when Landa is meeting the entire family he does something sneaky, when he is shaking their hands of the daughters, but if you look closer at his hands what he is really doing is checking their pulse to see who be nervous, this little details are awsome. The scene where Landa speaks Italian flawlessly and Aldo’s Tennessee accent radiates “Not Italian At All” energy is not how it was scripted. He was written to be extremely fluent and competent at it, but Brad Pitt convinced Tarantino to let him try it that way. In the end, Tarantino agreed that he shouldn’t blend in because, as he put it, “the plan they cobble together is fucking dumb.” It only succeeds because Landa wants it to succeed, it should not work… and the accent just rams home just how dumb the plan is. The character of Hans Landa was a stumbling block for him to get the movie made in the first place. He thought he’d written a character that no actor could play. He has to speak, in order, French, English, German, and Italian fluently, be charming and terrifying at the same time, and appear to be a brilliant detective, a nazi version of Sherlock Holmes (that’s why he has the large pipe in the first scene, it’s a reference to Holmes’ pipe). Thank goodness for Christoph Waltz who steals every scene he’s in. And another fun-fact trivia. Since puff pastries (what strudels are) during WWII were made with pig lard (not Kosher) due to wartime butter shortage, Landa's choice of dish for Shosanna could be seen either as a test to see if she's Jewish (as she'd normally reject the food) or he knows who she is and is forcing her into eating non-kosher. Keep up the good work.
It hasn't been confirmed but the best theory I have heard for Aldo's scar is that he tried to intervene during a lynching back home and was hanged himself, somehow surviving. The scar is a rope burn and partly explains why he hates Nazis so much and wanted to lead a team of Jewish soldiers despite likely not being Jewish himself, instead likely being what is referred to as a "Righteous Gentile."
Germans show the number three beginning with the thumb. So they would hold up their thumb, index and middle fingers. Only Brits, Americans, etc. would hold up their index, middle and ring fingers.
fun fact: in the dinner scene, landa was messing with her the whole time and he knew who shoshana is. You can see how he puts out his cigarette in the bread that looks like the farm house with the chimney
In my opinion Inglorious Bastards is one of the best movies ever made, yes there are several amazing movies through the decades, but I think Inglorious Bastards should be in any top 100 best movies ever made, and on a high position.
According to Wikipedia Tarantino name this character to honor Mexican actor from German ancestry Hugo Stieglitz which in most movies(1970’s) he was cast, Stieglitz play the bad guy .
I have a theory that Hans Landa has a twin brother. This would explain why he’s always one step ahead and why it seems like he changes his mind throughout the movie. In the scene where he captures Aldo, Aldo head-butts him in the nose. But just minutes later, Landa’s face is perfectly clean, with no sign of any wound.
The leading role 'Shosanna' Mélanie Laurent is one of my favorite actress. I highly recommend hers other films. She's an actor but also great director and singer.
Everyone agrees about Christoph Waltz (Hans Landa). He won an Oscar and a bunch of other awards for this role. There wasn't a scene in this movie I thought was boring but I really loved the part with the image of Shosanna laughing face projected onto the smoke.
Uhhhh... no. I think the point of this film flew right over your head, or you intentionally ignored it and chose to interpret it as nazi propaganda. Either way, knock it off
@@isaiahromero9861respecting someone’s bravery doesn’t mean he thinks this guy is a good guy, you seem to have a really childish way of seeing these things
@@timo1209 Like yeah, we as audience don't even get to know what has he done. He is a nazi NCO so most likely nothing good, but he is portrayed as a proud soldier. His POV is most certainly that he is just following orders or that he is fighting for his country. He chooses to die for his country, and so that further loss of german lives couldn't be put on his name. Think of nazis what you will, you are probably correct, but you gotta try to understand the character. Not just what his uniform represents. He died most heroically in this context.
He didn't shoot Shoshana in the beginning because you can't hit anything with a pistol at that distance. She was well over 100 meters away, and a pistol would only be good to 50m or less.
One of my favorite, yet annoying things about this movie is how many times Bridget sat up and laid back down when she was getting her bullet wound checked out. There's just 5-6 shots of this woman lying down or sitting up on this fucking table. 💀
"Landa asks for Shosanna to wait for the Cream to test if she is Jewish. As pastries were made with animal lard (fat) in ww2, the strudel would have been made with (most likely pork) fat. Jews can't drink milk (or cream) and eat meat as it is not kosher."
What I love about Hanz Landa is that he's a good and rare example of the type of Nazi not commonly shown in media. He clearly doesn't believe in at least most of the Nazi rhetoric, and is clearly out for his own career and status. This does not mean he's a better person than other Nazi officials, it simply means he has zero allegiance. He has the mental capacity and intelligence to know what he's doing is ultimately wrong, and yet the only time he does "the right thing" (which is just, NOT reporting assassins and then leaching off their success for his own profit) is because he's found it's more beneficial to him than simply remaining as the "Jew Hunter"
I love your movie reactions, they are so entertaining and you always make me smile. Your personality shines through every time and i appreciate you so much!
The scars on Aldo's neck That is a hanging scar. If he was convicted of a crime and senteced to hangjng, he would have been hung til he was dead.(when done properly the neck breaks) This means he was probably lynched, or illegally hung by vigilantes or villains. But he survived and wears the scar proudly. Without any dialogue on the matter, the scat tells us volumes about Aldo.
I believe that Hans knew that she was Shosanna. as hinted by the milk, and his, "laps in memory". He probably knew she would plan something at the premiere. Like at the begining when he held the hand of the Dryfuss' daughter who grabbed the milk for him, he was also checking her pulse. Nothing Hans Landa does is pointless. Like having Aldo saying Gorlami and laughing, because of how bad it sounded compaired to a real Italian speaker. Watch Analyzing Evil: Hans Landa by the channel called The Vile Eye. It's an Amazzing video.
The best movie I can recommend after this is QTs other movie Django Unchained, watching Christopher Waltz play the exact opposite character but equally brilliantly is pretty amazing
Tarantino is a master of using music to aid in painting a vivid picture. He's right up there with John Hughes, in that respect. Using "Cat People" by David Bowie, was sheer brilliance. And the scene with Shoshana's laughing face, projected on the billowing smoke, gives me chills every single time. As does, "Oui, Shoshana."
When I first see this film, I also hated Zoller. When I watched this over and over again, I realize something, the guy wants companionship. I guess he wants to get away with the trauma that he got fighting that war. Unfortunately, he was not aware that the girl he wants hates his kind.
The tension you felt was everyone watching this in the theater. So funny and so violent. And Baron Zemo from the Marvel Universe. I forgot he was the actor hero in the propaganda film.
I remember walking out of the first showing of this film and saying to my then gf (for the first time ever caring about Oscar's): "If the actor for Landa doesn't get an Oscar I'm gonna start a RIOT". The sounds of the leather jacket snarling and Waltz's amazing performance, goosebumps.
I think that Hanz Landa is one of my favorite villians in all of cinema history. It isn't an over the top exaggerated evil it's calculated, charming, *BELIEVABLE* evil. After seeing this and Django Christoph Waltz easily replaced Gary Oldman as my favorite actor ever. The dichotomy between his two roles there is mind boggling 😂
Quentin Tarantino is an absolute master when it comes to wordplay. The riveting dialogue and epic monologues are characteristic of all his films. He is also renowned for his ability to develop multiple seemingly unrelated plot lines simultaneously, which only interweave later in the movie. It is often not until the final scene that the audience can truly comprehend and appreciate the full meaning of all the previous scenes. That is one of the keys that make his masterpieces so enjoyable and unique! It is one of the marks of his genius that set his productions above and beyond all of the usual tripe, tired story lines, and hackneyed, worn-out tropes that Hollywood mindlessly spews out nowadays…
Algorithm changes based on a combo of what you're watching, activity on the accounts you're susbcribed to (so for example, they got demonitized), and what direction or trends RUclips wants to follow
That opening sequence is a masterclass of suspense, and the rest of it is a perfect mix of action, comedy, drama and tension. Colonel Hans Landa is a fantastic character, able to flip on a dime from quirky and silly to incredibly sinister, one of the best villains in modern cinema brought to life by a perfect performance from Christoph Waltz. In fact, I'd argue the entire cast is perfect, right down to the various performers just starting to make names for themselves like Michael Fassbender and Daniel Bruhl. And as with basically every other Tarantino film, the soundtrack is phenomenal - any film that manages to get David Bowie in there is a guaranteed win in my opinion. The question of Tarantino's best film is definitely up in the air, but while many may say Pulp Fiction or Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, for me it's undoubtedly this one
Christoph Waltz is a fantastic actor. The guy is just amazing in the movies I've seen. He's opening scene with the french dairy farmer is legendary. He takes us deep into the nazi psyche, the lines about the rat and the squarell are terrifying. In all honesty though, lately its been quite hard for me to feel sympathetic towards those targeted by the nazis. Films like this, Schindler's list, Judgment at Nuremberg and the pianist just leave me empty inside because of what happened in the the aftermath to the Palestinians and what is currently happening in Gaza.
Christoph Waltz won two Oscars. One for the role of ultaracist - Hans Landa in Inglorious Basterds, the other for the role of antiracist - King Schultz in Django Unchained. A classy actor

No ultraracist, just an opportunist, obviously.
@@stargazerorion9209 He's more an opportunist than an ultraracist, but he does clearly by the Nazi racial essentialism bit. He still is a racist.

Germans show the number three beginning with the thumb. So they would hold up their thumb, index and middle fingers. Only Brits, Americans, etc. would hold up their index, middle and ring fingers.
fun fact: in the dinner scene, landa was messing with her the whole time and he knew who shoshana is. You can see how he puts out his cigarette in the bread that looks like the farm house with the chimney
There's a reason Christoph Waltz got an Oscar for that role
Hans may be the scariest villain
In my opinion Inglorious Bastards is one of the best movies ever made, yes there are several amazing movies through the decades, but I think Inglorious Bastards should be in any top 100 best movies ever made, and on a high position.
Two things are always important in any Tarantino movie. Great music and feet. You always get both.
After about 20-30 rewatches the basement scene is icing on the cake
Pulp fiction and Jackie Brown are some of the best Quentin Tarantino films i’ve seen so far. Reservoir Dogs is pretty good too.
SO! ..has he made any really BAD films?
Everyone in the Germany 🇩🇪 army is aware of HUGO STIGLITZ 😂😂😂😂
According to Wikipedia Tarantino name this character to honor Mexican actor from German ancestry Hugo Stieglitz which in most movies(1970’s) he was cast, Stieglitz play the bad guy .
6:39 Because he's like that hawk, he wants to hunt
I have a theory that Hans Landa has a twin brother. This would explain why he’s always one step ahead and why it seems like he changes his mind throughout the movie. In the scene where he captures Aldo, Aldo head-butts him in the nose. But just minutes later, Landa’s face is perfectly clean, with no sign of any wound.
The leading role 'Shosanna' Mélanie Laurent is one of my favorite actress. I highly recommend hers other films. She's an actor but also great director and singer.
IMO Best Mélanie Laurent films
1. Inglorious Basterds (2009)
2. Beginners (2010)
3. The Mad Women's Ball (2021 / Directing / Acting)
4. The Round Up (2010)
5. Wingwomen (2023 / Directing / Acting)
You can trust me. I saw 46 Mélanie's films.
My favorite Tarantino film. Christoph Waltz was insanely good.
It's a mark of Tarantino's talent that he can create a story of pure fiction and make it seem like history.
Damn idk how much i rewatched this movie. chistopher waltz is just pure class
This is easily my favourite Tarantino film
I love the bit of self-meta-commentary by Tarantino at the end. He thinks this is his masterpiece, and I agree with him
According to the original script, Aldo's neck scar is a hanging scar from his bootlegging days
Can confirm that you only get that kind of scar through hanging.

Im surprised you didnt recognize Micheal Fassbender..
Watching Alyska reactions has drastically improved my credit score 🌻
Probably one of my favorite movies of ALL time. And it's cool to watch it again, on this channel. Just like watching it with a friend
Everyone agrees about Christoph Waltz (Hans Landa). He won an Oscar and a bunch of other awards for this role.
There wasn't a scene in this movie I thought was boring but I really loved the part with the image of Shosanna laughing face projected onto the smoke.
The German Soldier dying because of "bravery" was more honorable than all other soldiers shown in this movie
Uhhhh... no. I think the point of this film flew right over your head, or you intentionally ignored it and chose to interpret it as nazi propaganda. Either way, knock it off
@isaiahromero9861 jeez dude so sensitive, W Wehrmacht sergeant though
@@isaiahromero9861respecting someone’s bravery doesn’t mean he thinks this guy is a good guy, you seem to have a really childish way of seeing these things
@@timo1209 Like yeah, we as audience don't even get to know what has he done. He is a nazi NCO so most likely nothing good, but he is portrayed as a proud soldier. His POV is most certainly that he is just following orders or that he is fighting for his country. He chooses to die for his country, and so that further loss of german lives couldn't be put on his name. Think of nazis what you will, you are probably correct, but you gotta try to understand the character. Not just what his uniform represents. He died most heroically in this context.
Cannot believe I watched some one watch for an hour movie instead rewatching it myself.
Christolph waltz is terrifying in this, the tension when it's even around ❤
The bear jew is played by Eli Roth, who is known for making horror movies such as Cabin Fever and Hostel
The thumbnail shows you all you need to know about this reaction. "😂"

He didn't shoot Shoshana in the beginning because you can't hit anything with a pistol at that distance. She was well over 100 meters away, and a pistol would only be good to 50m or less.
"This movie's graphic!" I thought she was familiar with Tarantino, she knew about the foot thing.
Fun fact..Hugo Stieglitz was a real person. Not a nazi killer but a Mexican based actor in the 70s.
That's uhhh... something. Not quite a step down, not really a step up lol
One of my favorite, yet annoying things about this movie is how many times Bridget sat up and laid back down when she was getting her bullet wound checked out. There's just 5-6 shots of this woman lying down or sitting up on this fucking table. 💀
"Landa asks for Shosanna to wait for the Cream to test if she is Jewish. As pastries were made with animal lard (fat) in ww2, the strudel would have been made with (most likely pork) fat. Jews can't drink milk (or cream) and eat meat as it is not kosher."
Very intense opening scene and she giggled all through. Couldn’t watch
What I love about Hanz Landa is that he's a good and rare example of the type of Nazi not commonly shown in media.
He clearly doesn't believe in at least most of the Nazi rhetoric, and is clearly out for his own career and status.
This does not mean he's a better person than other Nazi officials, it simply means he has zero allegiance.
He has the mental capacity and intelligence to know what he's doing is ultimately wrong, and yet the only time he does "the right thing" (which is just, NOT reporting assassins and then leaching off their success for his own profit) is because he's found it's more beneficial to him than simply remaining as the "Jew Hunter"
I love your movie reactions, they are so entertaining and you always make me smile. Your personality shines through every time and i appreciate you so much!
Favorite line: “Attendez la crème.”
The scars on Aldo's neck
That is a hanging scar.
If he was convicted of a crime and senteced to hangjng, he would have been hung til he was dead.(when done properly the neck breaks)
This means he was probably lynched, or illegally hung by vigilantes or villains.
But he survived and wears the scar proudly.
Without any dialogue on the matter, the scat tells us volumes about Aldo.
This is my favorite Tarantino film as well.
I believe that Hans knew that she was Shosanna. as hinted by the milk, and his, "laps in memory". He probably knew she would plan something at the premiere. Like at the begining when he held the hand of the Dryfuss' daughter who grabbed the milk for him, he was also checking her pulse. Nothing Hans Landa does is pointless. Like having Aldo saying Gorlami and laughing, because of how bad it sounded compaired to a real Italian speaker. Watch Analyzing Evil: Hans Landa by the channel called The Vile Eye. It's an Amazzing video.
Love the idea that the big revenge Shoshana takes is recording the movie and distributing pirated copies. LOL.
There are few lines I love more than, after she says to burn down the cinema on the screen, Marcel smiles and says, “Oui, Shosanna.” 47:05
The best movie I can recommend after this is QTs other movie Django Unchained, watching Christopher Waltz play the exact opposite character but equally brilliantly is pretty amazing
I swore for the longest time that the actor who played The Bear Jew was Sylar from Heroes also lmao, nope, different guy.
Tarantino is a master of using music to aid in painting a vivid picture. He's right up there with John Hughes, in that respect. Using "Cat People" by David Bowie, was sheer brilliance.
And the scene with Shoshana's laughing face, projected on the billowing smoke, gives me chills every single time. As does, "Oui, Shoshana."
When I first see this film, I also hated Zoller. When I watched this over and over again, I realize something, the guy wants companionship. I guess he wants to get away with the trauma that he got fighting that war. Unfortunately, he was not aware that the girl he wants hates his kind.
Christoph Waltz is the goat
The tension you felt was everyone watching this in the theater. So funny and so violent. And Baron Zemo from the Marvel Universe. I forgot he was the actor hero in the propaganda film.
I remember walking out of the first showing of this film and saying to my then gf (for the first time ever caring about Oscar's): "If the actor for Landa doesn't get an Oscar I'm gonna start a RIOT". The sounds of the leather jacket snarling and Waltz's amazing performance, goosebumps.
"I think this just might be my masterpiece" Yes Quentin, I also think it is your masterpiece.
Imagine if Adam Sandler actually took the role of the bear jew, that would’ve been way more epic
I think that Hanz Landa is one of my favorite villians in all of cinema history. It isn't an over the top exaggerated evil it's calculated, charming, *BELIEVABLE* evil. After seeing this and Django Christoph Waltz easily replaced Gary Oldman as my favorite actor ever. The dichotomy between his two roles there is mind boggling 😂
lamda using dairy to test a jew for kosher laws was a good touch
34:58 best line delivery in the movie 🤣
Quentin Tarantino is an absolute master when it comes to wordplay. The riveting dialogue and epic monologues are characteristic of all his films. He is also renowned for his ability to develop multiple seemingly unrelated plot lines simultaneously, which only interweave later in the movie. It is often not until the final scene that the audience can truly comprehend and appreciate the full meaning of all the previous scenes. That is one of the keys that make his masterpieces so enjoyable and unique! It is one of the marks of his genius that set his productions above and beyond all of the usual tripe, tired story lines, and hackneyed, worn-out tropes that Hollywood mindlessly spews out nowadays…
Every time I hear your voice I want to hear you offer me tea and crumpets LOL
Wow! This is such a great movie! Great choice Alyska, I hope you like it! Hope all is well
You need to watch Peter Jackson's King Kong next lol
The Eli Roth/Zachary Quinto confusion is very common. My moment was when I saw Zachary as Sylar and thought it was either Eli or his brother Gabriel.
In the bar scene when he hold up 3 fingers... if he was german he would have held up 2 fingers and the thumb, just 3 fingers is what gave him away.
Huh, i thought you had quit. My subscriptions page hasnt shown a single of your videos for what feels like months now.

That opening sequence is a masterclass of suspense, and the rest of it is a perfect mix of action, comedy, drama and tension. Colonel Hans Landa is a fantastic character, able to flip on a dime from quirky and silly to incredibly sinister, one of the best villains in modern cinema brought to life by a perfect performance from Christoph Waltz. In fact, I'd argue the entire cast is perfect, right down to the various performers just starting to make names for themselves like Michael Fassbender and Daniel Bruhl. And as with basically every other Tarantino film, the soundtrack is phenomenal - any film that manages to get David Bowie in there is a guaranteed win in my opinion. The question of Tarantino's best film is definitely up in the air, but while many may say Pulp Fiction or Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, for me it's undoubtedly this one
"If she can become friendly with someone high ranking it might work in her favor..." - you mean like Coco Chanel did?
Christoph Waltz is a fantastic actor. The guy is just amazing in the movies I've seen. He's opening scene with the french dairy farmer is legendary. He takes us deep into the nazi psyche, the lines about the rat and the squarell are terrifying.
In all honesty though, lately its been quite hard for me to feel sympathetic towards those targeted by the nazis. Films like this, Schindler's list, Judgment at Nuremberg and the pianist just leave me empty inside because of what happened in the the aftermath to the Palestinians and what is currently happening in Gaza.
