You'd like _The Great Escape_ (1963) with Steve McQueen. For the fan of _Ocean's_ & _Basterds_ - also required viewing for Tarantino's _Once Upon A Time In Hollywood._
Michael Fassbender is the son of a German father and he speaks very fluent German, but with a non-standard accent because he was raised in Ireland. They incorporated that into the movie as a plot point.
@@daved2352 He's probably right though. His accent is very strong in this scene, to the point that it kills the suspense for any German viewer, because there's no way August Diehl's character would be fooled by him for one second. In the German release, Fassbender was dubbed by a German voice actor who worked in a subtle accent. And that was a smart decision for the sake of the suspense of this brilliant scene.
@@simonbrunner3062 But the character does use a good cover story by saying he's from a small village in Piz Palü, which is in between Switzerland and Italy, so it's not preposterous to imagine it would be a weird German accent so far from Germany itself. Moreover, August Diehl's character was suspicious the ENTIRE scene, we as an audience never really think he's believing them, that's not what kills the suspense. The suspense stays there the entire time because we don't know how he's going to react to the revelation and when it's going to happen. It's similar to the first scene: almost everyone watching (and you can tell that by seeing RUclips reactions) immediately picks up on the fact that Hans Landa is too good of a detective and probably already knows the Frenchman is hiding the Dreyfuses. Hell, we can already imagine he's going to kill them all even. It is still one of the most suspenseful sequences in film history because of HOW it is slowly written, built and directed.
@@krautgazer It is a different scene though. The Sturmbannführer is not on a mission. He just happens to be there, and his suspicions are raised by a situation he happens to witness by accident. The scene is all about whether or not the protagonists can defuse the situation. It is not helped by Fassbender's character having a thick accent that instantly gives him away as either a foreigner or a member of an ethnic minority that speaks German only as a second language (which could potentially be even worse in the eyes of a Nazi). That's not supposed to be the thing that gives him away. His cover needs to be plausible enough to keep the outcome of the scene open until he orders the three glasses of whiskey. Only then are Hellstrom's suspicions confirmed. Moreover, earlier in the scene, Hellstrom can immediately identify the descent of the two German "basterds". And they speak with only a veeery subtle accent (Munich) or standard German with hardly any accent at all (Frankfurt), respectively. Fassbender's character isn't even close to living up to them in the original, and yet it takes Hellstrom the entire scene plus the three glasses thing to make up his mind about them. Look, I'm not saying Fassbender does a terrible job. His acting is excellent and his German is good enough to make the scene work for international viewers. But it's obvious he's not fluent, and his German isn't good enough for him to dub his own parts in the German release.
The added significance of the dessert scene was that pastry is traditionally made with butter and cream bur bc of War shortages it was made with pork lard, not kosher and Landa's way of abusing Shoshana and letting her know is that he realized who she was.
@@jenmurrayxo Christoph Waltz said in an interview that his character Landa did indead know who she was, but he was happy in just knowing where she was.
The first part of that film is like a film unto itself. Its the moment when Landa says "You are harboring enemies of the state." And his eyes go icy cold and his whole demeanor changes. Makes him one of the scariest film villains of all time.
@@jenmurrayxo IMHO its one of the best opening scenes ever.....As you noted, the tension is off the charts... and everyone wonders, would I give them up in that moment. Crazy good opening
This just might be his masterpiece! it's my favourite of his by far. I like that unlike in most american movies, this uses German and French actors to play german and french people. To me as a german and french speaker (Swiss), this means a lot.
How the hell did you edit this down to 25 mins? That’s impressive. The scene with Soshanna and Landa gets me every time. What amazing performances! This is my favorite Tarantino movie.
Quentin Tarantino definitely knows how to direct a film that keeps you pulled in! And Hans Landa was the most intriguing character for me! He was technically one of those movie villains that actually WINS in the end...........set aside for the thing he can't take off now!
Great reaction! If you’ve never seen Pulp Fiction, it is an absolute must. It isn’t Tarantino’s first film, but it is the film that catapulted him to super-stardom and is still, in my opinion, his greatest masterpiece.
This is all I have to say about this movie. Almost the first 20 minutes are two guys sitting at a table and you can't take your eyes off it. Master class in film making.
I read someone nicknamed this "Tension: The Movie" and it's a perfect title, with so many nail-biting scenes, where Tarantino takes his time to build up more and more tension until you feel literally choked. His number one masterpiece in my opinion. By the way the french actress is Mélanie Laurent who has appeared in a couple of English movies. A personal favorite is the romantic comedy Beginners with Ewan McGregor and a brilliant Christopher Plummer, you may check that one out.
It's funny to see Jen on edge because she doesn't need to be. She asks all the right questions and understands everything. She aught to be cool as a cucumber. 😄
18:35 Movie trivia for those who didn't know: During the scene when Hans is strangling Bridget Von H. In the close up shot of Landa's hands around her neck, they are actually the hands of Director Quentin Tarantino himself.
Quentin Tarantino likes to use the music soundtracks from older films. In this production, he uses the music from 'The Mercenary', and of 'Kelly's Heros!'
At the bar, when he ordered three glasses, he used three fingers but not the thumb. In that nazi age, german always used the thumb to mark a number with the hand. In that moment the nazi realized he was an impostor.
It must be made clear at this point that not every German at that time, not even every German in uniform, was a Nazi. The German Wehrmacht had more than enough men in their ranks who didn't want anything to do with Hitler, the party, or even Nazism as a whole. But while Hitler was in power, most Germans had only two options. To participate or not to participate. However, those who decided not to participate should be better able to leave the country with all their loved ones and everything else that is important to them, otherwise extremely unpleasant consequences will follow.
One of my favorite Tarantino films. The acting is superb and the alternate history changes set up additional similar twists in movies like Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. I consider this and Pulp Fiction to be the two films to recommend if someone has never seen a Tarantino film.
I love how this movie repeatedly delays the action in favor of building tension. So many movies rush to the action and draw that out instead. But after Boondock Saints I have to laugh at drawn out action scenes anymore (won't spoil the line that ruined action movies for me, but that's another must watch movie for St Patrick's Day). I love the fact that the action was fast, intense and chaotic. Definitely a brilliant choice by Tarantino. This is my favorite movie of his. And Christoph Waltz is just brilliant. Also, I found it so cute that she chose to hate on the dog for being a Nazi dog.
Christoph Waltz won the Academy Award for his role in this movie and again for his role in Django Unchained. You restated your appreciation for snipers, and that, along with your enthusiasm for explosions and heists must remind of your days as a secret agent. Until your next video, have a nice weekend.
YES!! I just discovered your channel under a week ago and based on the stuff I’ve watched so far this was an instant click. I’m saying this at 0:48 so I’ll be embarrassed if I’m wrong but you’re “going to” love this!!!
Respect to anyone who fought against these animals 💯 My grandfather fought his way thru three countries, only to get got shot down in Denmark 🇩🇰 he was shot through the neck, had to run damn near a mile to the nearest medic. 🏥 🏃🏽♂️ Doc said if he was a couple minutes late, he was a dead man. He lived and breathed a full 97 year life 🙌🏽 You can now RIP grandad, you served your country well. 💐 🫡
When you suspect someone to be pretending to be German, the three fingers really do give it away. I think lots of Germans immediately noticed he messed up when seeing the movie, with how how the perspective focuses on the other guy's look.
This really is an amazing film. Dialogue, pacing, cinematography, sound design. And the over the top violence against the scum of the earth is the cherry on top.
One of my favorites of Tarantino. Its so over the top at times its glorious. But the absolute greatest thing about this movie is the dialogue and the scenes. Christoph Waltz kills it in his role but my favorite is Michael Fassbender he's so great in his undercover role and the scene at the underground bar is my favorite. Also, short little tid bit. Kino means cinema in English.
It was really nice getting Django after this because it gave the audience a chance to really enjoy Christoph Waltz after seeing him in this role. He was amazing in both, but Landa is an awful human being.
The scene with Shoshanna and Landa is even more tense because him ordering strudel with cream is testing her Jewishness. Since strudel is made with lard to eat it with a dairy product is non kosher
Wow, I've seen this movie around the time it came out and I knew it featured a lot of cameos. But I don't remember seeing Mike Myers (or is it Austin powers in disguise) in this movie. I was expecting him to burst out with some of his famous lines like "Oh Behave!" Or "I shagged her rotten baby!" during the briefing.
Jen has the absolute best First Time Watch videos of them all. I've seen some hosted by some true idiots. Jen is smart and VERY funny. I also like how she gets little things in these films. Tons of fun spending time with Jen and revisiting some of these films through her very entertaining fresh perspective. Please keep these coming!
Lots of fun editing in this reaction video! Loved it! If you’d like a fun Tarantino film that was only written by him and not directed by him, I cannot recommend *True Romance* enough. It’s directed by Tony Scott but he loved Tarantino’s script so much there was very little deviation from it. The film has a star-studded cast, some superbly written and performed scenes, it’s got romance, action, comedy. And dare I say it’s Tarantino’s most romantic film he’s ever written. Violence and all. I think you’d thoroughly enjoy it!
@@jenmurrayxo I think most people who love Quentin knows of the movie but probably hasn’t seen it because they started taking notice when Pulp Fiction blew up. And even though it was his most popular film, Reservoir Dogs was his first movie and he was able to make it with the money he made selling True Romance.
The handsome Brit who held up the three fingers is Michael Fassbender. You should watch 300. He is in it, and it is a movie that I think you might enjoy quite a bit. For various reasons... one of which is that it is a very good movie. :P
Austin Powers started his career as a British Officer . I wanted him to drop an “Oh Behave” somewhere in that cameo - wonder if it’s on a gag reel somewhere
@@jenmurrayxo if I remember correctly Basterds was his first introduction to North American audiences so he blew everyone away and was entrenched as the evil Nazi guy until Django came out. What perfect casting.
QT’s best film not Plup Fiction. Trivia: QT said, “if not for Christoph Waltz, I might not be able to make this film. I needed a man fluent in French, German & English “. This film is based on a 1978 movie of the same title 🎉
so fun fact if you didn't go back and see, H*tler is played by Mike Myers, aka the same actor who is in Austin Powers series and Wayne's World movies and voice actor of Shrek
I was listening to a podcast once with Samm Levine, who was in one of the online communities I frequented, who plays PFC Hirschberg, one of the minor Basterds and he told this great antidote about how Quentin sat the whole cast down at the table read and said that the one thing that he demanded was that they all give 100% from action to cut and would tell anybody who didn't do that to get off the set, and everybody was giving 100% except for Christoph Waltz, who was giving a quiet, creepy, understated read. They later learned that privately before the read, Quentin pulled Waltz aside and said "I'm gonna tell everybody that I want 100% of them, but that does not apply to you. I want you to give me 5%, because I don't want any of these actors to know what they are up against until they are in a scene with you with the cameras rolling." He had later needed to come on to set for a wardrobe related thing and it happened to be one of the first days of shooting the opening scene, and everyone who saw it was going out of their minds, and he turned to Lawrence Bender the producer and said "Honest to God, if that doesn't win you an Oscar, I don't know what you have to do to get one." Christoph Waltz went on to win the Oscar, despite the fact that he'd never been seen by the vast majority of the world before, which is insane. And then the next Quentin movie, Django Unchained, he won it again.
Hi Jen!🙂 Great reactions to the film that launched Christoph Waltz's career!!!🎬🎬 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽Yes, German actress Diane Kruger (playing the actress) is one of my favorites. Probably best known from the Nicolas Cage "National Treasure" films. Did you recognize fellow Canadian Mike Myers as the English officer in front of the map discussing operation kino?
what happened at 13:23 is he showed "3 glasses" using index, middle and ring fingers (no thumb) which is very specifically english thing, a real german would never do that. that's how he blew his cover.
Such a great movie, depending on the day it might be my favorite Tarantino movie. Some details about Landa, the hilarious pipe he pulls out is a reference to Sherlock Holmes’ pipe, implying that Landa is just as sharp as the famous detective, he just happens to work for… you know… Hitler. This movie languished for a while because Tarantino couldn’t find the right actor to play the part. He had to speak German, French, English, and Italian fluently, and be a charming villain the entire time. Quite the tall order, but then Christoph Waltz happened. His part in Django is more heroic and likable, but Hans Landa is where the wider world became aware of him as an actor. As a note, if you watch more Tarantino, you will get four things regardless of where you go; violence, fantastic dialogue, amazing soundtracks, and shots of feet. Watch Pulp Fiction if you haven’t already.
I love Taratino's universe... All his movies link up together in his world. You will find things in each of his movie that appear in another movie or you will hear a last name from a movie that takes place 100 years before appear in a one or all of the other movies.
This is easily my favorite Tarantino movie. Though it’s also one of his most “regular” linear stories, but I honestly prefer that structure even though he’s known for less traditional plots.
Jen! At the beginning when you said, "Is this a true story?" I thought to myself, I so really wish it were. Loved your reaction to this, knowing full well in advance that you're going to cringe. Big time.
Tarantino is a fan of explotation cinema. There are lots of easter eggs and homages in this movie, for example: Hugo Stiglitz was a mexican actor and Antonio Margharitte an Italian director, the scene with the kid carrying the film reels is from a Hitchcock film, the scene of Landa arriving to the farm is almost a frame by frame re-made scene from the movie The good, the bad and the ugly, etc. To sum up, a great movie with tons of sub text. Glad you liked it.
Re-watch. 💜 Actually the entire Jen's 2000 Playlist has been playing in the background for hours and hours. Shout out for 'Where Eagles Dare' (1969), it's the Inglourious Basterds of the 60s, stars Eastwood. It's essential WWII action viewing. And shout out for 'The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare' (2024), it's Guy Ritchie's Inglourious Basterds. I cannot overstate how much you are going to absolutely *LOVE* this film. 😄🥂🎉 Henry Cavill, Alan Ritchson (Reacher) and the babe scientist from Three Body Problem.
Even if Taratino’s movies aren’t you’re cup of tea, his filmography is arguably one of the most flawless collection ever… for the record I love his movies… he never misses!!
"I love a sniper, but not a nazi sniper..." Then I have a movie for you Jen! Enemy At The Gates, a fictionalized account of real Russian sniper Vasily Zaitsev during the Siege of Stalingrad. Jude Law stars 😉
Great review! I am convinced that Hans Landa didn't let many "get away," and lived his life laying out traps, just in case he found them later. Knowing that Shoshanna lived on a dairy, maybe he always brought milk into the situation every time he ran into a person fitting her profile, to see the reaction. I remember reading that there is also something about the pastry that is not kosher - maybe the lard or shortening used or something like that. Just a theory! Now to watch Django... 8-)
Nitrate film stock is made from nitrocellulose. This is one of the components used in smokeless gunpowder (primary for single base, in combination with nitroglycerin in double base). It was one of the first plastics available, and was used in a number of items. Ping pong balls have only recently switched to a different plastic, and pool balls were known to explode if struck particularly hard, though nitrocellulose is preferable to ivory in terms of cost and availability.
I love that this movie had a couple german actors. Most movies just pick americans who barely know any german, but Tarantino went all the way, making this movie so much more authentic.
"OOH I do love some champagne, just not with them :/ ... ooh a doggie... oh, a nazi doggie :( ...don't order milk... HUH he ordered her milk! oh I do love some whipped cream, but I feel sick! I'm worried... yeah that looks really good, I shoulda got some pie... yeah, kill them at the cinema, OH I love popcorn... just not nazi popcorn... oh but that nazi butter :P ...this is all so conflicting. Damn you, Tarantino." As shouted from the cheap seats: Weee luuurv youuu, Jennnn! 😂😂😂
Let me start off, by saying that I am an avid history buff. It was the only subject in which I got A's, in high school. History is history and fiction is fiction is my mantra. So, when I first saw this movie and there was very little actual history to it, I was a bit peeved. But, as I continued watching the movie, I came to realize that "highly fictitious" is just another way of saying "highly entertaining."
"Does he know that guy?" The dissolve to Hugo being whipped as the colonel explains the rules of the drinking game is one of the funniest jokes in Inglorious Basterds! His face sells how much he hates being there. Hugo Stiglitz is played by Til Schweiger, who is very well known in Germany but doesn't get a lot of recognition in America. He has great little roles here and there, but I will always remember him in SLC Punk with Matthew Lillard.
Here’s some useless trivia you probably already know anyway:Hugo Stiglitz is the name of a Mexican actor who starred in the Italian horror/gore movie Nightmare City,as well as others.Another character in this is given the name Antonio Marghariti,which is the name of an actual director of Italian science-fiction and horror films
@@pathatfield2543 I would not have known that a year ago, but stumbled into a rabbit hole of Italian cinema in the last few months and kept seeing familiar names pop up 🤣🤣🤣
It was exciting to see your first-time watching reaction! ♥ And sad to see you hoping for the ones to get away who don't make it. 😢 Hey at least the died doing what they loved - killing Nazis. 👍👍 So many scenes of nail-biting tension in this film, it is awesome. I'd love to see Tarantino remake Where Eagles Dare (1967). In the summer of 1994, I did a small favor at a local independent cinema (the GFT - Glasgow Film Theatre) for Quentin Tarantino and John Woo and the manager of the GFT wrote to both of them to tell them. The favor was donating to the GFT and having a life-time permanent plaque on the back of one of their cinema seats dedicated to whoever I wanted, so I chose seat K9 and asked them to dedicate it to QT and Woo. (K9 turned out to be not available so I chose some other random seat). Then in late Nov of the same year, I received a delivery from FedEx from Four Room Productions Inc, it contained a hand-written letter of thanks and a few other words from Tarantino(!) complete with doodles by him of himself and fellow director John Woo in Reservoir Dogs suits. Plus, he also sent the screenplay book for Pulp Fiction which had a QT thank you inscription written inside and more doodles. A kilted man saying, 'Hoots man' and the Loch Ness monster (😂). *Plus* he sent two Pulp Fiction posters: a Japanese one which is probably very rare now and the usual Pulp Fiction poster with Uma Thurman on it, on the latter he had drawn a speech bubble coming from Uma saying, 'thanks Jason'. (🤩) And finally, a little made especially for Cannes 1994 eight-page comic/flyer type promotional thing for the film. What a guy. 😎
The opening scene is (knowing Tarantino, very probably consciously) based on one of the first scenes in The Good, The Bad and The Ugly;the tense meeting between Angel Eyes and Stevens which ends in very much the same way. Wonderful reaction again Jen. You are the cutest woman on the internet!
Hans Landa - the role that turned Christoph Waltz into an absolute superstar. Since then, fans are ready to watch even the stupidest movie if he takes part.
Well done JennyPenny. You picked out most of the main features of the film, but as with all Tarantino films, you have to watch them a few times to get all the subtleties his films are so dense.
What other Taratino's should I see? Other Christoph Waltz movies?
You'd like _The Great Escape_ (1963) with Steve McQueen. For the fan of _Ocean's_ & _Basterds_ - also required viewing for Tarantino's _Once Upon A Time In Hollywood._
Reservoir Dogs
"True Romance". "4 Rooms" is a New Years Eve movie.
The Longest Day. Packed with stars. Also, a great film!

You should watch the german movie "Downfall".

It must be made clear at this point that not every German at that time, not even every German in uniform, was a Nazi.

One of my favorites of Tarantino. Its so over the top at times its glorious. But the absolute greatest thing about this movie is the dialogue and the scenes. Christoph Waltz kills it in his role but my favorite is Michael Fassbender he's so great in his undercover role and the scene at the underground bar is my favorite.
Also, short little tid bit. Kino means cinema in English.
The opening scene in the farmhouse is now used in film schools as a textbook example of how to build suspense.
It was really nice getting Django after this because it gave the audience a chance to really enjoy Christoph Waltz after seeing him in this role. He was amazing in both, but Landa is an awful human being.
Such a great actor!
The scene with Shoshanna and Landa is even more tense because him ordering strudel with cream is testing her Jewishness. Since strudel is made with lard to eat it with a dairy product is non kosher
Ohhh yes, see I knew there was mire going on beneath the surface! Brilliant! 👌
Wow, I've seen this movie around the time it came out and I knew it featured a lot of cameos. But I don't remember seeing Mike Myers (or is it Austin powers in disguise) in this movie. I was expecting him to burst out with some of his famous lines like "Oh Behave!" Or "I shagged her rotten baby!" during the briefing.
One of my favorite Tarantino movies is The Hateful Eight (2015). Great reaction! Thanks 😊
Jen has the absolute best First Time Watch videos of them all. I've seen some hosted by some true idiots. Jen is smart and VERY funny. I also like how she gets little things in these films. Tons of fun spending time with Jen and revisiting some of these films through her very entertaining fresh perspective. Please keep these coming!
Lots of fun editing in this reaction video! Loved it! If you’d like a fun Tarantino film that was only written by him and not directed by him, I cannot recommend *True Romance* enough. It’s directed by Tony Scott but he loved Tarantino’s script so much there was very little deviation from it. The film has a star-studded cast, some superbly written and performed scenes, it’s got romance, action, comedy. And dare I say it’s Tarantino’s most romantic film he’s ever written. Violence and all. I think you’d thoroughly enjoy it!
Very curious about that one!
@@jenmurrayxo I think most people who love Quentin knows of the movie but probably hasn’t seen it because they started taking notice when Pulp Fiction blew up. And even though it was his most popular film, Reservoir Dogs was his first movie and he was able to make it with the money he made selling True Romance.
I whole-heartedly second @philthemovieguy81, great call, bro! 👍👍
The handsome Brit who held up the three fingers is Michael Fassbender.
You should watch 300. He is in it, and it is a movie that I think you might enjoy quite a bit. For various reasons... one of which is that it is a very good movie. :P
I also like Fassbender in the X-Men Prequels, just saying. . .
Austin Powers started his career as a British Officer .
I wanted him to drop an “Oh Behave” somewhere in that cameo - wonder if it’s on a gag reel somewhere
Might I point out that the British Officer that toasted "Down with Hitler" at 10:45 was played by Mike Myers.
Christoph Waltz was so believable as an evil Nazi it took half of Django for me to enjoy him as a hero
He looks so completely different in each movie, I knew it was him but I had no association with the other character
@@jenmurrayxo if I remember correctly Basterds was his first introduction to North American audiences so he blew everyone away and was entrenched as the evil Nazi guy until Django came out. What perfect casting.
Christoph Waltz - Oscar for his performance
Well deserved 👍
Jen: He's saying less than he knows. This is so tense. I do love whipped cream
🤣 🤣 🤣
Pretty much sums me up 😂👍
Christopher Waltz absolutely stole the show for this movie. He is a super talented actor and fluent in like 6 languages...
I recall people laughing when the whole lead up of the Italian speaking discussion ending at Pitt’s ridiculous “Bongiorno.”
I firmly believe that Landa's scream at the end is as much about emotional agony at being bested as it is actual pain.
Enjoyed every squirming moment you had😂❤️❤️what a film, so tense and so funny. Watched many times, great reaction as always lovely Jen🫶🏽
“How did the shootin’ start?”
“in the BALLS….”
QT’s best film not Plup Fiction. Trivia: QT said, “if not for Christoph Waltz, I might not be able to make this film. I needed a man fluent in French, German & English “. This film is based on a 1978 movie of the same title 🎉
He's so talented!
U bet, my friend 🎉
Speaking of subtext "This might just be my masterpiece" *Hard cut to* "Directed By Quentin Tarantino"
Nominated for 8 Oscars including Best Picture but won for
Best Supporting Actor Christoph Waltz.
"That's a bingo!"
"Uh, we just call it Bingo."
I like how by the end of the movie Jen was perfectly ok with "Scalp Herman"
My favorite part of the movie will probably always be when Landa starts speaking Italian. You can visibly see the "oh crap.." look on their faces.
Niiiice! You're killing it with the uploads Jen! Ty!!! 🤗
Thanks Allan!
so fun fact if you didn't go back and see, H*tler is played by Mike Myers, aka the same actor who is in Austin Powers series and Wayne's World movies and voice actor of Shrek
Nah, Mike Myers was General Ed Fenech.
Martin Wuttke played Adolf.
welp yes comments below!!! thank you for keeping it real
Fantastic choice! Taratino's films are def unique.
Loved it!!
The beginning of this movie makes the end of this movie so satisfying
3:44 oh you poor poor sweet girl 😆😆😆
Did you know Quentin Tarantino actually did made a cameo in this movie?
He was Hans Landa's hands when choking out Von Hammersmark.
If you are fan of Quentin Tarantino’s style of writing, then please check out the writing of Kevin Smith by watching the comedy Clerks.
I was listening to a podcast once with Samm Levine, who was in one of the online communities I frequented, who plays PFC Hirschberg, one of the minor Basterds and he told this great antidote about how Quentin sat the whole cast down at the table read and said that the one thing that he demanded was that they all give 100% from action to cut and would tell anybody who didn't do that to get off the set, and everybody was giving 100% except for Christoph Waltz, who was giving a quiet, creepy, understated read. They later learned that privately before the read, Quentin pulled Waltz aside and said "I'm gonna tell everybody that I want 100% of them, but that does not apply to you. I want you to give me 5%, because I don't want any of these actors to know what they are up against until they are in a scene with you with the cameras rolling." He had later needed to come on to set for a wardrobe related thing and it happened to be one of the first days of shooting the opening scene, and everyone who saw it was going out of their minds, and he turned to Lawrence Bender the producer and said "Honest to God, if that doesn't win you an Oscar, I don't know what you have to do to get one." Christoph Waltz went on to win the Oscar, despite the fact that he'd never been seen by the vast majority of the world before, which is insane. And then the next Quentin movie, Django Unchained, he won it again.
Hi Jen!🙂 Great reactions to the film that launched Christoph Waltz's career!!!🎬🎬 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽Yes, German actress Diane Kruger (playing the actress) is one of my favorites. Probably best known from the Nicolas Cage "National Treasure" films. Did you recognize fellow Canadian Mike Myers as the English officer in front of the map discussing operation kino?
what happened at 13:23 is he showed "3 glasses" using index, middle and ring fingers (no thumb) which is very specifically english thing, a real german would never do that.
that's how he blew his cover.
Such a great movie, depending on the day it might be my favorite Tarantino movie. Some details about Landa, the hilarious pipe he pulls out is a reference to Sherlock Holmes’ pipe, implying that Landa is just as sharp as the famous detective, he just happens to work for… you know… Hitler. This movie languished for a while because Tarantino couldn’t find the right actor to play the part. He had to speak German, French, English, and Italian fluently, and be a charming villain the entire time. Quite the tall order, but then Christoph Waltz happened. His part in Django is more heroic and likable, but Hans Landa is where the wider world became aware of him as an actor.
As a note, if you watch more Tarantino, you will get four things regardless of where you go; violence, fantastic dialogue, amazing soundtracks, and shots of feet. Watch Pulp Fiction if you haven’t already.
Had such a good time watching this one! Haven't seen "Inglourious" in so long, was great to revisit it
I LOVE this movie!!! idk if you reacted to it Jen bur From Dusk Till Dawn, Kill Bill 1/2, H8ful Eight. Okay now to continue the reaction
I love Taratino's universe... All his movies link up together in his world. You will find things in each of his movie that appear in another movie or you will hear a last name from a movie that takes place 100 years before appear in a one or all of the other movies.
Ohh interesting
The only Tarantino movies you should watch are just the ones you haven't seen yet.
“Let me know if there are any other Tarantino movies…” Um, all of them! ‘Pulp Fiction’ is a must. I really liked ‘Jackie Brown,’ as well.
Melanie Laurent was cast perfectly as Shoshana and loved her in Now You See Me (a magician film). I’m sure she didn’t want attention from the soldier.
This is easily my favorite Tarantino movie. Though it’s also one of his most “regular” linear stories, but I honestly prefer that structure even though he’s known for less traditional plots.
Jen!
At the beginning when you said, "Is this a true story?" I thought to myself, I so really wish it were. Loved your reaction to this, knowing full well in advance that you're going to cringe. Big time.
I loved it tho! 👍
The actor who played Hans actually won an academy award for best supporting actor.
Tarantino is a fan of explotation cinema. There are lots of easter eggs and homages in this movie, for example: Hugo Stiglitz was a mexican actor and Antonio Margharitte an Italian director, the scene with the kid carrying the film reels is from a Hitchcock film, the scene of Landa arriving to the farm is almost a frame by frame re-made scene from the movie The good, the bad and the ugly, etc. To sum up, a great movie with tons of sub text. Glad you liked it.
Hi Jen, nice reaction, good that you like the movie.. Yes, some great actors acting in this movie.
Hi Jen hope you are having an great and awesome day ❤️
Thanks John, you too!
the reaction to waltz re-up, classic.
“D R A M A T I C lol” 🤣❤️
😂👍
Re-watch. 💜 Actually the entire Jen's 2000 Playlist has been playing in the background for hours and hours.
Shout out for 'Where Eagles Dare' (1969), it's the Inglourious Basterds of the 60s, stars Eastwood. It's essential WWII action viewing.
And shout out for 'The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare' (2024), it's Guy Ritchie's Inglourious Basterds. I cannot overstate how much you are going to absolutely *LOVE* this film. 😄🥂🎉 Henry Cavill, Alan Ritchson (Reacher) and the babe scientist from Three Body Problem.
Even if Taratino’s movies aren’t you’re cup of tea, his filmography is arguably one of the most flawless collection ever… for the record I love his movies… he never misses!!
"I love a sniper, but not a nazi sniper..."
Then I have a movie for you Jen! Enemy At The Gates, a fictionalized account of real Russian sniper Vasily Zaitsev during the Siege of Stalingrad. Jude Law stars 😉
Great review! I am convinced that Hans Landa didn't let many "get away," and lived his life laying out traps, just in case he found them later. Knowing that Shoshanna lived on a dairy, maybe he always brought milk into the situation every time he ran into a person fitting her profile, to see the reaction. I remember reading that there is also something about the pastry that is not kosher - maybe the lard or shortening used or something like that. Just a theory! Now to watch Django... 8-)
Nitrate film stock is made from nitrocellulose. This is one of the components used in smokeless gunpowder (primary for single base, in combination with nitroglycerin in double base). It was one of the first plastics available, and was used in a number of items. Ping pong balls have only recently switched to a different plastic, and pool balls were known to explode if struck particularly hard, though nitrocellulose is preferable to ivory in terms of cost and availability.
I love that this movie had a couple german actors. Most movies just pick americans who barely know any german, but Tarantino went all the way, making this movie so much more authentic.
"OOH I do love some champagne, just not with them :/ ... ooh a doggie... oh, a nazi doggie :( ...don't order milk... HUH he ordered her milk! oh I do love some whipped cream, but I feel sick! I'm worried... yeah that looks really good, I shoulda got some pie... yeah, kill them at the cinema, OH I love popcorn... just not nazi popcorn... oh but that nazi butter :P ...this is all so conflicting. Damn you, Tarantino."
As shouted from the cheap seats: Weee luuurv youuu, Jennnn! 😂😂😂
Lolll 😂👍👍
Let me start off, by saying that I am an avid history buff. It was the only subject in which I got A's, in high school. History is history and fiction is fiction is my mantra. So, when I first saw this movie and there was very little actual history to it, I was a bit peeved. But, as I continued watching the movie, I came to realize that "highly fictitious" is just another way of saying "highly entertaining."
"Does he know that guy?"
The dissolve to Hugo being whipped as the colonel explains the rules of the drinking game is one of the funniest jokes in Inglorious Basterds! His face sells how much he hates being there.
Hugo Stiglitz is played by Til Schweiger, who is very well known in Germany but doesn't get a lot of recognition in America. He has great little roles here and there, but I will always remember him in SLC Punk with Matthew Lillard.
Here’s some useless trivia you probably already know anyway:Hugo Stiglitz is the name of a Mexican actor who starred in the Italian horror/gore movie Nightmare City,as well as others.Another character in this is given the name Antonio Marghariti,which is the name of an actual director of Italian science-fiction and horror films
@@pathatfield2543 I would not have known that a year ago, but stumbled into a rabbit hole of Italian cinema in the last few months and kept seeing familiar names pop up 🤣🤣🤣
It was exciting to see your first-time watching reaction! ♥ And sad to see you hoping for the ones to get away who don't make it. 😢 Hey at least the died doing what they loved - killing Nazis. 👍👍 So many scenes of nail-biting tension in this film, it is awesome. I'd love to see Tarantino remake Where Eagles Dare (1967).
In the summer of 1994, I did a small favor at a local independent cinema (the GFT - Glasgow Film Theatre) for Quentin Tarantino and John Woo and the manager of the GFT wrote to both of them to tell them. The favor was donating to the GFT and having a life-time permanent plaque on the back of one of their cinema seats dedicated to whoever I wanted, so I chose seat K9 and asked them to dedicate it to QT and Woo. (K9 turned out to be not available so I chose some other random seat).
Then in late Nov of the same year, I received a delivery from FedEx from Four Room Productions Inc, it contained a hand-written letter of thanks and a few other words from Tarantino(!) complete with doodles by him of himself and fellow director John Woo in Reservoir Dogs suits.
Plus, he also sent the screenplay book for Pulp Fiction which had a QT thank you inscription written inside and more doodles. A kilted man saying, 'Hoots man' and the Loch Ness monster (😂).
*Plus* he sent two Pulp Fiction posters: a Japanese one which is probably very rare now and the usual Pulp Fiction poster with Uma Thurman on it, on the latter he had drawn a speech bubble coming from Uma saying, 'thanks Jason'. (🤩)
And finally, a little made especially for Cannes 1994 eight-page comic/flyer type promotional thing for the film.
What a guy. 😎
The opening scene is (knowing Tarantino, very probably consciously) based on one of the first scenes in The Good, The Bad and The Ugly;the tense meeting between Angel Eyes and Stevens which ends in very much the same way. Wonderful reaction again Jen. You are the cutest woman on the internet!
Hans Landa - the role that turned Christoph Waltz into an absolute superstar. Since then, fans are ready to watch even the stupidest movie if he takes part.
Well done JennyPenny. You picked out most of the main features of the film, but as with all Tarantino films, you have to watch them a few times to get all the subtleties his films are so dense.
Christoph Waltz was in the James Bond movie *SPECTRE.*
Lol -"A river derchi"
love your react!
😂👍
Hey Jen, did you notice that Hans Landa (the jew hunter) played the dentist bounty hunter from Django Unchained? AMAZING actor!!!
0:25 ! ☺️👍
Lol @ your editor’s commentary
