They were just looking for someone who speaks native German, very good English and French, and pretty good Italian. Not a lot of actors who can all, but they happened to find someone who was just perfect.
Yeah and the guy who said he didnt speak Italian at all got his name out best, and was even complimented for it by Landa. Very subtle, very funny. He knew instantly they were not Italian and was just toying with them, like a cat with a mouse.
I'm German. Back then in the movie theatre the audience instantly saw the wrong "three" (without the thumb). Thus we knew why the Gestapo officer had identified the English captain.
This is easily Tarantino's most darkly comedic film. Basterds just stands out amongst his filmography to me as super rewatchable. Brad Pitt and Christoph Waltz both kill it as well.
Easily? almost all of his films are darkly comedic. Django, Pulp Fiction, Once upon a time in Hollywood, Kill Bill. I definitely had a few chuckles in all of those too.
Over the years I've been invited to my managers office..closed door for speaking my mind. Mandatory meeting- a conference room full of people... My boss eyes me and says, "You're awfully quiet." I replied, "You're welcome." Loved this line in the movie! Cheers
@@brersamo I’m cursed with it for real. I’ve been a “hold my beer and watch this” guy my whole life, all the way back to when it was “hold my kool-aide” in a sippy cup.
Quentin Tarantino was so impressed with Christopher Waltz’s performance in this movie that he casted him again in Django Unchained. Definitely a must see! 🤠👍🏻
The opening with the farm is a masterclass in building tension. I remember sitting in theatres with my dad and he was gasping and had his hands cupped to his mouth in shock, something I'd never seen when we saw movies together. He LOVED this one
Not only that, but a masterclass in establishing a foundation for convincing character arc in both Shosanna and Hans to carry through the film within such a short period of time.
I like the theory that Landa knew who Shoshanna was the entire time at the cafe; that he never lost track of her after massacring her family and just kept tabs on her, knowing that as long as she was in France she'd never feel safe. Then when he managed to corner her in a social setting, he deliberately ordered the strudel with cream, because due to supply shortages from the war, the cream would be made with pig fat, and thus against her religion to eat it. His insistence on keeping her there for a private chat and eating a cream-covered dessert just seems too deliberate for a mere chance meeting, especially since he doesn't bother to finish his own plate and puts out his cigarette on it; he just wanted to get under he skin.
Also ordering milk for her was a reminder of the Dairy Farm. He knew and was just playing with her. He even gave her the "look" before what would've been the confrontation but then decided to play it off as having forgotten. The hunt was more fun than the catch for him.
Im not sure thats a theory. That definitely is just what it is! The cream detail is my favorite because unless you know, it doesnt impact you. But if you do know, its spine-tingling lolol.
My favorite trivia is: QT has said “without Christoph Waltz, I couldn’t make this film” (he needed a guy fluent in German, French and English) IMO this QT’s masterpiece
@@snakeinthegrass7443 A little clue that some may have missed, when Hans Landa says "Bravo" after the guy says his fake Italian name, that's the precise moment where the film lets us know that Hans knows they're fake. Because why else would anyone congratulate somebody for saying their own name?
The death of the girl in the theater was unfortunate, but she knew she and her husband were going to die. They locked the doors to the theater and started a fire to burn it down. So she actually died quicker than what she expected, since she planned on burning with everyone else. Christoph Waltz deserved his Oscar for this movie. He did another fantastic role in another Tarantino movie, Django Unchained.
The part where Landa just bursts out laughing at the mountain climbing story is just... cinematic perfection. The juxtaposition between a notorious SS detective that picks up on the smallest details and Aldo's group that are basically flying by the seat of their pants - and without Landa's assistance are destined to fail - is just so good. Like, if you think about it, they could have spent maybe more than 10 seconds on coming up with a cover story. There are no mountains near Paris to go climbing. They could have said horseback riding, or anything even remotely plausible but they went with mountain climbing. Landa had them pegged from the moment they walked through the door and was probably expecting a cat and mouse game with Aldo and Hammersmark trying to outsmart him but instead he got a bunch of amateurs who couldn't be assed for even the slightest bit of deception. I honestly think he killed Brigitte not out of patriotism or anything of the sort. I think he was more upset that she disappointed him in the espionage game and wasn't even remotely a challenge. 10/10 movie would scalp again.
Hans Landa is to this day one of the best acted villains I've seen in a movie. You said several times that you couldn't stand him, I think that's a mark of a great actor to move you to feel that kinda way. The actor who portrays him, Christopher Waltz, plays another really well rounded character in Django Unchained - also another Tarantino movie!
Waltz plays a white man called "Dr King" who rescues African-Americans from slavery. I'm amazed no one cancelled Tarantino for that, but I guess no one noticed the character's name.
When Shoshona was running away from the house in the beginning, Landa shouts “au revoir” which is significant. If he was just saying goodbye, he would have said “adieu” which would be more in line with someone he never expected to see again. Instead, him saying ‘au revoir’ is a sign that he means to see het again in the future.
As an Italian I have to say that Landa (by the way: for me one of the most scaring characters ever) spoke Italian very well. Good pronounce and vucabolary.
Quentin Tarantino's "The Hateful Eight" is an absolute must if you both like this one. Very tense, suspenseful, bloody, deals with racism, great actors who play great characters, and the good guys win... sort of. Definitely a Quentin Tarantino must watch!
If they do hateful 8, I hope they do a whole mystery line, clue, hateful 8, scream could be thrown in that, even hot fuzz, murder on the orient express, and if they wanna do a old old one Dead men don't wear plaid
Shoshannah......the hero. She got her revenge, killed Adolph and ended the war. The man who killed her family is forever doomed to a psychological hell caused by the ravages of war on his own psyche and the spoils of war by the vengeful victors. Don't feel bad for Shoshanna. She was, in this alternate universe, the "star" of this show. Jewish pun intended. IMHO this WAS his masterpiece! Great reaction y'all!
@@deepermind4884 Yeah, I get that. I would have been good with that. However, along with Hitler, Goebbels, Himmler....she murdered 300 innocents. I can only surmise after a childhood tragedy such as that, she was looking for revenge from the start and death was a risk she was more than willing to accept Wasn't the real tragedy her not seeing the fruits of her vengeful labor?
Hans knew it was Shoshana the entire time, he knows everything at all time throughout the movie. He deliberately ordered her a glass of milk to go with her strudel cause that’s what he drank in the opening scene at the farm. Waltz couldn’t have played a villain any better
It wasn't that Aldo couldn't hide his American accent, him and Landa immediately sussed out that the other knew everything so there was no point trying more than enough to not arouse suspicion from nearby Germans. Landa adopted an attitude of "I'm going to have fun with you" but Aldo's attitude was "I'm not playing your game".
I know this movie is mainly Fiction, but it is based on a real group of Jewish soldiers that went on special missions in WW2. There is a documentary about them called, "The Real Inglorious Bastards". I really love Christopher Waltz acting and he was really great in this movie. That first scene is so intense it just immediately traps you in right from the beginning.
Fun fact: the song used in the opening credits for this movie is called The Green Leaves of Summer, and was created for John Wayne's 1960 film "The Alamo". The version used in Inglourius Basterds is instrumental but the original has lyrics.
And the music played at the opening with the Germans approaching the house, written around the famous piano melody from Beethoven's "Fur Elise", is from the spaghetti western "The Big Gundown" (1967). Also the music played when Donowitz emerges from the tunnel to kill the German is from that movie.
The basement barroom scene is so underrated for tension interlaced with clever writing. You knew it was going to go south but not exactly how. The tell was extremely clever and subtle.
@@msw8966 I’m giving OP the benefit of the doubt, but I don’t think they meant the entire movie was based in reality. Just the Holocaust and stuff. In which case, they’d be right.
@@godzillaprime …… Hitler is in the goddamn movie. The movie opens with “The Jew Hunter” looking for a family. Nazis were mentioned. There’s a war against Germany. They didn’t have to mention the Holocaust itself. 🙄
One of my very favorite movies. Everything about it is incredible. Interesting point to ponder: Maurice (Shoshanna's assistant) is the only one who witnessed the events in the theater who lived to tell about it, and thus is the only person who knows what really happened.
I remember seeing this in theaters. Absolutely blown away. Got out of the theater with my gf and sat in the bed of my truck watching the crazy lightning storm up north... returned home to my house on fire after being struck by lightning.
My late grandfather who was in the Navy in WW2 absolutely loved this film He especially loved seeing Hitler getting shot He also loved the Film Red Dawn from 1986
Shane's rules of combat #47A - When impersonating enemy officers, always be a colonel. That way the only chance you'll get outranked is if you run into a flag officer, which isn't very likely. However, if you impersonate a middle rank, like an infantry captain, you are practically guaranteed to run into at least one major before you complete your mission.
Snatch movie trivia: the reason why Brad Pitt got the role of the Gypsy was because he couldn't do an English accent. Once Upon A Time In Hollywood is another one of Pitt's and Tarantino's collaborations. The Hateful Eight, Jackie Brown and Desperados are three more of Quintin Tarantino's work. He couldn't find a role for him in this one so Samuel L. Jackson narrated it.
That opening scene still gives me chills. He knew, right from the start, that he was lying. He asked to converse in English cuz he knew that the Dreyfus' didn't speak it. What a villain.
That scene where Shoshana is prepping for the big night, with Bowie's "Cat People" playing in the background, is absolutely MASTERFUL. And when her face is projected on the smoke, while she's laughing, it always gives me chills.
This is my favorite Tarantino movie. Pretty much everything is perfect. He even threw in the "This might just be my masterpiece" at the end so it seems he thinks so too.
Without a doubt I believe this is Tarantino's best film. They are all great films but this truly is his masterpiece! Christoph Waltz as Hans Landa is one of my favorite performances from an actor ever.
I saw this movie on release and I've never to this day felt legitimate actual fear like I did during the opening scene. Welcome to rewatching this genuine masterpiece.
Hanz was good at his job because he read responses to his own approach. My OGs growing up were like that. Your response to any given word or situation tells the truth.
First, OMG Asia is GORGEOUS! I’ve watched this movie a hundred times and I still cover my eyes on the bat scene. In EMT school, we talked about head injuries and involuntary muscle contraction, and the first thing in my mind was that scene. He played it well…. 😮
Let's be honest, all the movies Tarantino directed are amazing. Ten for ten. BTW, Tarantino based the Basterds on real life people in WW2. First, the US Army gathered Jews who immigrated from Germany or the surrounding areas before the war, set them up with special training and sent them behind enemy lines to gather intelligence. It is estimated that upwards of 75% of the actionable intelligence the US gathered in Europe during WW2 were a direct result of these special Jewish soldiers. There are a bunch of documentaries on these guys. A quick look on RUclips and I see one titled "'The Real Inglorious Bastards' were way more badass than the Quentin Tarantino film." Also, Frederick Zoller was based on two real-life men: Austrian sniper Matthäus Hetzenauer and American actor Audie Murphy. Hetzenauer served in the 3rd Mountain Division on the Eastern Front of World War II and is credited with 345 kills. Hetzenauer received the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross in 1944 and was captured by Soviet troops in 1945, serving five years in a Soviet prison camp. He died in 2004. Audie Murphy was an American soldier and actor who received every military combat award for valor available from the U.S. Army, such as the Medal of Honor. At the age of 19, Murphy single-handedly held off a company of German soldiers for an hour at the Colmar Pocket in France in 1945, then led a successful counterattack while wounded and out of ammunition. After the war, Murphy became an actor, and while most of his roles were westerns, he also played himself in a movie based on his memoirs. He died in a plane crash in 1971.
There is a really underrated Tarantino movie called "The Hateful Eight". It's kind of a western who done it. But pretty much everyone is in it. And the cinematography is amazing.
Underrated?, It's one of his Masterpieces, and the one when he makes a dream come true: The music of Ennio Morricone, wich i believe it's the last one the máster did
"He went Aaron Judge!" That was funny! Especially considering Donowitz was a Red Sox fan. "He knows her name, right?" In this film, she's a famous movie star, so... yeah. Hans would know her name. Earlier, Aldo was messing with snuff. It's basically a cigarette substitute -- instead of smoking it, they sniff a tiny trace of it.
Fun fact: the absurdly big pipe Landa uses wasn’t common it intentionally looks like Sherlock Holmes’ to foreshadow. He also “politely” holds the girls wrists to subtly suggest danger. This opening scene can be analyzed as a paper it’s so well done
15:14 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.
My favorite Tarantino movie. He loves to 're-write' historical events in a wild way. Next you have to tee up "Once Upon A Time in Hollywood". Pitt's in it and it's great.
11:20 - Brad Pitt was using snuff, a smokeless tobacco, ground really fine into almost a powder, and inhaled into the nostrils. The closest thing nowadays is the dip people put in their mouths, but snuff had about the same effect. Nicotine.
I gotta say I LOVE your channel. You don’t just have great reactions (which are way more authentic to other channels) but you also watch much better movies and also appreciate them so much more.
The scene in the bar builds off so much of cinematic history it's amazing, and it adds its own twists. I remember my palms just sweating seeing it in the theater. What's more, I speak german, and the idiom of the time and dialects are right spot on.
I never noticed it before but watching THIS reaction, I saw the shot of Landa's legs kicking in pain and it reminded me of the shot of von Hammersmark's legs kicking in pain when he strangled her-- the shots were staged the same. Neat! Loved the reaction 😄
Love, love, love that you two are getting into these! Django Unchained, Reservoir Dogs, Jackie Brown, Kill Bill...any of these would make a great follow-up. If you're looking further, True Romance, a Tarantino screenplay, is also a must-watch! I'd save the Robert Rodriguez/Grindhouse collaborations (Planet Terror, Death Proof, From Dusk Til Dawn) for this next Halloween!
Christoph Waltz is an unbelievable actor his execution of each and every single character arch he portrays is mind blowing, not sure if you watched Django Unchained but if you haven’t you should definitely consider it it’s another masterpiece of Quentin Tarantino’s starring Jamie Fox and Kerry Washington And while at it Kill Bill Vol 1- Vol2 IS ANOTHER MUST WATCH!
Ive seen this movie too many times to count. I freaking love it. This is why i love Tarantino movies - not even five minutes into the movie and Asia is already covering her eyes lol
@Asia and BJ this is my 3rd favorite Quentin directed film (tho he is not a top 10 director to me he is in my top 20 of all time) he does dialog so so well. @Asia I KNEW the blanket would come out due to the violence and the gore :). I am glad it was appreciated and seen, I just wish we got 10 more minutes of react time :). This is one for sure the Patron peeps win out on seeing the full movie and your full reactions. Thanks for the upload you 2
I gotta say, Christoph Waltz just absolutely steals the show. What a wonderfully terrible bad guy! And watching Asia cover her eyes during the bat scene was funny!
Tarantino doesn't miss. And Pitt stretched his acting skills here. Did a great job. Great reaction, y'all. But ain't they all? 😊 Don't miss any of Tarantino's movies.
There are two actors who have created new emotions that have no words. The first: the father of the French family when he knows he has to give them up. The second: Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye in Endgame when he looks down at the lifeless body of the 2014 Nebula, knowing that future Nebula shot herself - to save his life. Both faces have about 30 specific emotions in them. Edit: with what just happened to Renner, glad he got to go out on top.
Great reaction. Love the last line of dialogue Tarantino wrote, for what was his most epic-scale movie to that point: "I do believe this just might be my masterpiece"
Omg what a great surprise!! Dark Comedy at its finest!! My favorite genre and one of my favorite directors/writers. He's absolutely brilliant. This my favorite of his. Then Kill Bill. Ps... Thank you patrons!
22:45 the way he ordered three glasses gave him away as an American. Americans hold up their ring-middle-index to count to three. Europeans use their thumb-index-middle finger to count to three.
Glad y'all decided to react to Inglorious Basterds. It is definitely violent. Most of Tarantino's movies are. But they are so well done. You can't take your eyes off of the screen. Too bad you cut it down to 37 minutes. That's too much for this one. But you guys gotta do what you gotta do. Loved the reaction, needless to say. You two are the coolest.
The first scene has one of the best examples of tension building in cinema history, the bar scene has THE best example of tension building in cinema history.
Since you like the Tarantino movies, I think you'll love "Django." Stars Jamie Fox as a slave who gains his freedom and becomes a bounty hunter, pre-Civil War south. It could have been called, "Django's Revenge." 😉
One of my top 5 movies of all time along with Gladiator, Tombstone, and Django Unchained. My #5 pick is pretty much up in the air with many other fantastic movies, but these 4 are solid. Awesome reaction!! Christoph Waltz is one of my favorite actors, and Tarantino obviously loves this man too. He is just fantastic in Django Unchained and Inglorious Basterds.
All of Tarantino’s movies have such violence, but they are all such incredible stories. I’m not really a fan of the Hateful Eight or Jackie Brown, but I really like his other films. True Romance was the first one I saw and you can see the evolution of his storytelling abilities.
Christoph Waltz won the Academy Award For Best Supporting Actor for his role as Hans Landa. Also, the Nazi soldier who gets scalped is played by Quentin Tarantino himself :)
Oh man...I love watching y'all react to movies. BJ...you tear me up, brother!! I laugh so hard! "Oh! He went Aaron Judge on him!" Oh man...I'm dyin' here! Lolol And thank you, Asia, for trying to keep him in line! Lol You guys are the best!!
The part where Von Hammersmark says the 3 with the fingers.....TRUE. I served 2 years in Bavaria in the Army. At the end, Brad Pitt says "this just may be my masterpiece" that is Tarantino remarking about the film being his masterpiece. The very 1st German soldier you see being scalped is Quentin Tarantino doing his cameo appearance like he does in all his films.
Cool fact about Landa's pipe, it's a Calabash Meerschaum. The exact same pipe that Sherlock Holmes uses. Also, like Sherlock Holmes, Landa pulled the pipe out in his "I got you" moment, just like Holmes.
Christoph Waltz is a great actor. He scares me in this movie.
They were just looking for someone who speaks native German, very good English and French, and pretty good Italian. Not a lot of actors who can all, but they happened to find someone who was just perfect.
@@Yora21 Tarantino fell in love with his acting and uses him in his movies like, Hateful Eight and Django Unchained.

Not only that, but a masterclass in establishing a foundation for convincing character arc in both Shosanna and Hans to carry through the film within such a short period of time.
It was a rip-off from The Good The Bad and The Ugly (1966). Tarantino can't make anything original, but he gives homage to the best films of all time.
Kinda makes you wonder what the alternate universe where Tarantino made horror movies looks like.
As masterful as it is, I would wager that the basement bar scene is just as strong if not well stronger yet.
I like the theory that Landa knew who Shoshanna was the entire time at the cafe; that he never lost track of her after massacring her family and just kept tabs on her, knowing that as long as she was in France she'd never feel safe.

Absolutely. It had to be. It was too obvious for him to not know.
Im probably naive but I've never heard that theory and I totally agree. It makes perfect sense.

Not husband in all likelihood - I don't think mixed marriages like that could even be contemplated in Nazi-occupied territory. Lovers, certainly.

Fun fact: the song used in the opening credits for this movie is called The Green Leaves of Summer, and was created for John Wayne's 1960 film "The Alamo". The version used in Inglourius Basterds is instrumental but the original has lyrics.
At one point I was expecting Burt Reynolds in a brown Ford full of moonshine, same music as White Lightning at opening cinema scene
And the music played at the opening with the Germans approaching the house, written around the famous piano melody from Beethoven's "Fur Elise", is from the spaghetti western "The Big Gundown" (1967). Also the music played when Donowitz emerges from the tunnel to kill the German is from that movie.
The basement barroom scene is so underrated for tension interlaced with clever writing. You knew it was going to go south but not exactly how. The tell was extremely clever and subtle.
This is a tough movie to watch.
Knowing things like this were real.
Christoph in the opening scene is incredible
You're very naive

I’m giving OP the benefit of the doubt, but I don’t think they meant the entire movie was based in reality. Just the Holocaust and stuff. In which case, they’d be right.
I'm sorry but there was no mention of the holocaust in this whole movie but whatever
@@godzillaprime
……
Hitler is in the goddamn movie. The movie opens with “The Jew
Hunter” looking for a family. Nazis were mentioned. There’s a war against Germany. They didn’t have to mention the Holocaust itself. 🙄
@@godzillaprimeAre you dense? The Nazis were hunting Jews all over Europe was PART of the Holocaust.
One of my very favorite movies. Everything about it is incredible.
Interesting point to ponder: Maurice (Shoshanna's assistant) is the only one who witnessed the events in the theater who lived to tell about it, and thus is the only person who knows what really happened.
A smiling Asia is my guilty pleasure! Love you both!!
I remember seeing this in theaters. Absolutely blown away. Got out of the theater with my gf and sat in the bed of my truck watching the crazy lightning storm up north... returned home to my house on fire after being struck by lightning.
My late grandfather who was in the Navy in WW2 absolutely loved this film
He especially loved seeing Hitler getting shot
He also loved the Film Red Dawn from 1986
Shane's rules of combat #47A - When impersonating enemy officers, always be a colonel. That way the only chance you'll get outranked is if you run into a flag officer, which isn't very likely. However, if you impersonate a middle rank, like an infantry captain, you are practically guaranteed to run into at least one major before you complete your mission.
An outstanding cast and awesome movie...Ive watched it so many times I lost count...Never gets old.
BJ's evil chuckle when Landa is getting his...souvenir from Aldo is hilarious!
Y'all are my fave new reaction channel.
Snatch movie trivia: the reason why Brad Pitt got the role of the Gypsy was because he couldn't do an English accent.
Once Upon A Time In Hollywood is another one of Pitt's and Tarantino's collaborations.
The Hateful Eight, Jackie Brown and Desperados are three more of Quintin Tarantino's work.
He couldn't find a role for him in this one so Samuel L. Jackson narrated it.
The quote "Au Revoir, Shoshanna" lives rent free in my head.
That opening scene still gives me chills. He knew, right from the start, that he was lying. He asked to converse in English cuz he knew that the Dreyfus' didn't speak it. What a villain.
That scene where Shoshana is prepping for the big night, with Bowie's "Cat People" playing in the background, is absolutely MASTERFUL. And when her face is projected on the smoke, while she's laughing, it always gives me chills.
In the choking scene, the actress was actually almost choked out.
This is my favorite Tarantino movie. Pretty much everything is perfect. He even threw in the "This might just be my masterpiece" at the end so it seems he thinks so too.
🤣 Great reaction! Quinton said he's doing 10 films only. 🎥 All his films are masterpieces. Over time you gotta hit all his films!
Yo Jennifer! 👋
@@Eowyn187 Holla 😘
Without a doubt I believe this is Tarantino's best film. They are all great films but this truly is his masterpiece! Christoph Waltz as Hans Landa is one of my favorite performances from an actor ever.
“There was too much tension in the room.”👏👏👏👏👏Operation Kino rocks!❤
I saw this movie on release and I've never to this day felt legitimate actual fear like I did during the opening scene.
Welcome to rewatching this genuine masterpiece.
The cast made into a thigh high boot with a heel was hysterical to me 😂
That's some pretty impressive shit! 😂😂
@@cfinley81 right?! And what a dedication to a complete outfit lmao 🤣
She said I‘m looking good no matter what lol!
@@a.j.1819 heck yeah! Lol 😂
@@DanceySteveYNWA hahhahaha 🙌🏻🤣
"I had no idea what we was in store for!"
EEEEXACTLY the sentence I want to hear from someone watching this movie!!
Hanz was good at his job because he read responses to his own approach. My OGs growing up were like that. Your response to any given word or situation tells the truth.
First, OMG Asia is GORGEOUS! I’ve watched this movie a hundred times and I still cover my eyes on the bat scene. In EMT school, we talked about head injuries and involuntary muscle contraction, and the first thing in my mind was that scene. He played it well…. 😮
Let's be honest, all the movies Tarantino directed are amazing. Ten for ten. BTW, Tarantino based the Basterds on real life people in WW2. First, the US Army gathered Jews who immigrated from Germany or the surrounding areas before the war, set them up with special training and sent them behind enemy lines to gather intelligence. It is estimated that upwards of 75% of the actionable intelligence the US gathered in Europe during WW2 were a direct result of these special Jewish soldiers. There are a bunch of documentaries on these guys. A quick look on RUclips and I see one titled "'The Real Inglorious Bastards' were way more badass than the Quentin Tarantino film."
Also, Frederick Zoller was based on two real-life men: Austrian sniper Matthäus Hetzenauer and American actor Audie Murphy. Hetzenauer served in the 3rd Mountain Division on the Eastern Front of World War II and is credited with 345 kills. Hetzenauer received the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross in 1944 and was captured by Soviet troops in 1945, serving five years in a Soviet prison camp. He died in 2004. Audie Murphy was an American soldier and actor who received every military combat award for valor available from the U.S. Army, such as the Medal of Honor. At the age of 19, Murphy single-handedly held off a company of German soldiers for an hour at the Colmar Pocket in France in 1945, then led a successful counterattack while wounded and out of ammunition. After the war, Murphy became an actor, and while most of his roles were westerns, he also played himself in a movie based on his memoirs. He died in a plane crash in 1971.
The opening farmhouse scene and the tavern scene are two of the most nerve-wracking scenes filmed in the last 25 years.
Very intense ... from the opening scene to the last scene. One of my favorites!
There is a really underrated Tarantino movie called "The Hateful Eight". It's kind of a western who done it. But pretty much everyone is in it. And the cinematography is amazing.
Underrated?, It's one of his Masterpieces, and the one when he makes a dream come true: The music of Ennio Morricone, wich i believe it's the last one the máster did
"He went Aaron Judge!" That was funny! Especially considering Donowitz was a Red Sox fan.
"He knows her name, right?" In this film, she's a famous movie star, so... yeah. Hans would know her name.
Earlier, Aldo was messing with snuff. It's basically a cigarette substitute -- instead of smoking it, they sniff a tiny trace of it.
It's dry snuff
The scene of her face laughing projected on the smoke was epic!!
Great movie....Tarantino is a master. Christoph Waltz became one of my favourite actors after watching this film!
Fun fact: the absurdly big pipe Landa uses wasn’t common it intentionally looks like Sherlock Holmes’ to foreshadow. He also “politely” holds the girls wrists to subtly suggest danger. This opening scene can be analyzed as a paper it’s so well done
“He went Aaron judge” had me rolling 😂😂😂
15:14 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.
"Dammit, Hirschburg," and "You know something Utivich? This might just be my masterpiece," are two of my favorites lines in all of cinema
My favorite Tarantino movie. He loves to 're-write' historical events in a wild way. Next you have to tee up "Once Upon A Time in Hollywood". Pitt's in it and it's great.
11:20 - Brad Pitt was using snuff, a smokeless tobacco, ground really fine into almost a powder, and inhaled into the nostrils. The closest thing nowadays is the dip people put in their mouths, but snuff had about the same effect. Nicotine.
I ain't never felt so much tension sitting in a theater than I felt in the opening scene of this movie. Gets me every time
It very well might be the best movie opening of all time.
I gotta say I LOVE your channel. You don’t just have great reactions (which are way more authentic to other channels) but you also watch much better movies and also appreciate them so much more.
The scene in the bar builds off so much of cinematic history it's amazing, and it adds its own twists. I remember my palms just sweating seeing it in the theater. What's more, I speak german, and the idiom of the time and dialects are right spot on.
I never noticed it before but watching THIS reaction, I saw the shot of Landa's legs kicking in pain and it reminded me of the shot of von Hammersmark's legs kicking in pain when he strangled her-- the shots were staged the same. Neat!
Loved the reaction 😄
"He strikin' fear in ME and I'm not even there..." Ya gotta love the Bear Jew 🐻
Love, love, love that you two are getting into these! Django Unchained, Reservoir Dogs, Jackie Brown, Kill Bill...any of these would make a great follow-up. If you're looking further, True Romance, a Tarantino screenplay, is also a must-watch! I'd save the Robert Rodriguez/Grindhouse collaborations (Planet Terror, Death Proof, From Dusk Til Dawn) for this next Halloween!
Christoph Waltz is an unbelievable actor his execution of each and every single character arch he portrays is mind blowing, not sure if you watched Django Unchained but if you haven’t you should definitely consider it it’s another masterpiece of Quentin Tarantino’s starring Jamie Fox and Kerry Washington
And while at it Kill Bill Vol 1- Vol2 IS ANOTHER MUST WATCH!
"HE WENT AARON JUDGE!"
What a great reaction, Asia and BJ! One of your best!
"A river dirchy". I laughed at that so hard in the theatres and still do today. He's so southern and just can't hide it. Lol.
Ive seen this movie too many times to count. I freaking love it.
This is why i love Tarantino movies - not even five minutes into the movie and Asia is already covering her eyes lol
That first scene with Hanz Landa was so intense! Christoph Waltz played a great villain in this and Water For Elephants! Just scary as hell!
This movie is a masterpiece. I’ve watched this movie easily over 25 times and it’s my favorite movie of all time
The entire first scene was supposedly done in one take. To many, this is the role that put Christoph Waltz on the map, and is absolute masterclass...
@Asia and BJ this is my 3rd favorite Quentin directed film (tho he is not a top 10 director to me he is in my top 20 of all time) he does dialog so so well. @Asia I KNEW the blanket would come out due to the violence and the gore :). I am glad it was appreciated and seen, I just wish we got 10 more minutes of react time :). This is one for sure the Patron peeps win out on seeing the full movie and your full reactions. Thanks for the upload you 2
I gotta say, Christoph Waltz just absolutely steals the show. What a wonderfully terrible bad guy! And watching Asia cover her eyes during the bat scene was funny!
Tarantino doesn't miss.
And Pitt stretched his acting skills here.
Did a great job.
Great reaction, y'all. But ain't they all? 😊
Don't miss any of Tarantino's movies.
There are two actors who have created new emotions that have no words.
The first: the father of the French family when he knows he has to give them up.
The second: Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye in Endgame when he looks down at the lifeless body of the 2014 Nebula, knowing that future Nebula shot herself - to save his life.
Both faces have about 30 specific emotions in them.
Edit: with what just happened to Renner, glad he got to go out on top.
Knowing what happens in this movie the shock and horror is expected and the tension is built right up to the third act but the finish is perfect.
Great reaction. Love the last line of dialogue Tarantino wrote, for what was his most epic-scale movie to that point: "I do believe this just might be my masterpiece"
Omg what a great surprise!! Dark Comedy at its finest!! My favorite genre and one of my favorite directors/writers. He's absolutely brilliant. This my favorite of his. Then Kill Bill. Ps... Thank you patrons!
22:45 the way he ordered three glasses gave him away as an American. Americans hold up their ring-middle-index to count to three. Europeans use their thumb-index-middle finger to count to three.
But he was English.
Glad y'all decided to react to Inglorious Basterds.
It is definitely violent. Most of Tarantino's movies are. But they are so well done. You can't take your eyes off of the screen. Too bad you cut it down to 37 minutes. That's too much for this one. But you guys gotta do what you gotta do. Loved the reaction, needless to say. You two are the coolest.
The first scene has one of the best examples of tension building in cinema history, the bar scene has THE best example of tension building in cinema history.
Great Tarantino movie.... as long as you don't mind captions. Can't wait to see your reaction and hear your thoughts on it.
"They're not going to show that!". Someone has never seen a Tarantino movie before! 🤣
Love Brad Pitt’s character in this one. He has a lot of really good performances.
Since you like the Tarantino movies, I think you'll love "Django." Stars Jamie Fox as a slave who gains his freedom and becomes a bounty hunter, pre-Civil War south. It could have been called, "Django's Revenge." 😉
Stiglitz needs his own origin story
8 pt miniseries
One of my top 5 movies of all time along with Gladiator, Tombstone, and Django Unchained. My #5 pick is pretty much up in the air with many other fantastic movies, but these 4 are solid. Awesome reaction!! Christoph Waltz is one of my favorite actors, and Tarantino obviously loves this man too. He is just fantastic in Django Unchained and Inglorious Basterds.
All of Tarantino’s movies have such violence, but they are all such incredible stories. I’m not really a fan of the Hateful Eight or Jackie Brown, but I really like his other films.
True Romance was the first one I saw and you can see the evolution of his storytelling abilities.
Christoph Waltz won the Academy Award For Best Supporting Actor for his role as Hans Landa.
Also, the Nazi soldier who gets scalped is played by Quentin Tarantino himself :)
Oh man...I love watching y'all react to movies. BJ...you tear me up, brother!! I laugh so hard! "Oh! He went Aaron Judge on him!" Oh man...I'm dyin' here! Lolol And thank you, Asia, for trying to keep him in line! Lol You guys are the best!!
"he went Aaron judge on him" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 my eyes are watering BJ, you're reaction was hilarious
Such a good movie. That scene at the end in the theater is amazing. 🔥
The part where Von Hammersmark says the 3 with the fingers.....TRUE. I served 2 years in Bavaria in the Army.
At the end, Brad Pitt says "this just may be my masterpiece" that is Tarantino remarking about the film being his masterpiece.
The very 1st German soldier you see being scalped is Quentin Tarantino doing his cameo appearance like he does in all his films.
Such a brilliant movie. Gets to the deeper truths. Just like Kill Bill. Y'all should review Fight Club.
I've seen this flick a thousand times, and watching your reaction felt like I was watching it for the first time again.
Quinton Tarantino's movies are amazing! Enjoyed your reaction!
Cool fact about Landa's pipe, it's a Calabash Meerschaum. The exact same pipe that Sherlock Holmes uses. Also, like Sherlock Holmes, Landa pulled the pipe out in his "I got you" moment, just like Holmes.
