Brad Pitt's bad Italian accent wasn't supposed to be like that, it was supposed to be decent and passable. But he did that at the table read for a laugh and Tarantino couldn't get it out of his head.

"Well if this is it old boy... I hope you don't mind if I go out speaking the King's." Is one of the best lines ever written, reinforced by Fassbender's brilliant acting.
The basement bar scene is one of the best in cinema. There are multiple analyses of how meticulously thematically well constructed it is. And it’s epically rewatchable.
Of course noting that he won an Academy award for best supporting actor, along with Tarantinos Django Unchained as well. ( just for the people who did not know)
Only Tarantino could incorporate a 1982 David Bowie song into a WWII action epic, and have it work perfectly. "Oui, Shoshana." That sends chills through me, every time. And the scene with Shoshana's laughing face projected on the billowing smoke...haunting!
Even if it was, would it tell him much though? If you had ppl like that with weapons visit you your pulse would be up too even if you weren’t hiding anyone
The opening scene is one of Tarantino’s best and one of the best examples of Alfred Hitchcocks suspense scenario in action which of course Tarantino utilises over and over but it never gets tired
Yes, great tension in that and the scene in the bar up to the British spy slipping up. Definitely reminds me of Hitchcock. It's a pity the film did not at the very last act live up to the great tension-building that Tarantino does throughout most of it. Minus maybe the last 10 minutes, Tarantino almost created a masterpiece.
Everyone (including me) laughs at seeing Landa’s pipe in the opening sequence. It was only later I realized what it is. He’s smoking a pipe similar to a famous detective, Sherlock Holmes, to hint to the audience that he knows everything and is always a step ahead of everyone… right up until the end when he doesn’t see his eventual fate coming. Such a brilliant performance by Christoph Walz.
Agreed. It's a meme to say that Pulp Fiction is his best, but he is clearly much more skilled and experienced in this one. As impressive as his early work is, his mid-career films make the early stuff look a bit sophomore.
In the opening, before switching back to French, Hans Landa says 'masquerade' which alerts Shoshanna to his ruse and allows her to escape. Later, it is Landa who plays along with her masquerade as Emmanuelle. Just an interesting parallel.
Hans Landa wasn't lying. He really was a great detective. So good that he was able to deduce from the clues that by this point in the war, Germany couldn't possibly win. Consequently, he would also be tried for crimes against humanity for his role in the Holocaust when Germany surrenders. So he did the only rational thing. He got out in front of it and switched sides when the opportunity arose.
Just be glad that Quentin Tarantino never made a Biblical movie with the same type of violence. There was a Saturday Night Live sketch called "Djesus Uncrossed" that was basically this. I would have expected something like this from MADtv, but MADtv ended in 2009 (tried to come back in 2016, but no one noticed or cared) and SNL, despite its ups and downs, does turn out hilarious sketches to this day.
Why is everyone slagging off brad pitt he added a brilliant comedic element to his character and the film, it was not meant to be as serious as other war films because its fictional.
Regarding the pastry scene...I've watched a lot of reactions to this film. In one, a person commenting (who was more culturally aware than I) noted that an offer to eat pastry with cream was often used as a "Jew test," because pastries were usually made using lard, and mixing animals products with dairy products is forbidden. If the subject was reluctant, then a Jew had been identified.
A Jew trying to save their life would not appear reluctant, they'd gulp it down. And a big chunk of German Jews at the time were quite secular to begin with and wouldn't care in the first place
@@foljs5858 you're both right. It would've undoubtedly worked on some, even if they relented in the end their initial reluctance could be grounds for further investigation. However if I was in that position I would indeed swallow my pride and the pastry in one.
@@foljs5858 Yet, the scene makes sense when viewed in the light I provide. Recall how he insisted that she wait to include the cream. Further, even if it's not considered a "test," it might merely be a "degradation" enjoyed by the blatantly sadistic Landa.
It’s unlikely this is the reason Tarantino included the cream. A Jewish person would not die by not or hesitating to eat something. Nor would their god truly give a shit if it was done under duress. This is just something someone thought of and it’s spread in RUclips comments. It’s more likely the pastry was ordered to keep audiences guessing as to whether Landa knew it was Shoshanna, as milk isn’t an unreasonable thing to drink with a pastry.

Great reaction Marie 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. 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. 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. Keep up the good work.
I think the thing about the puff pastries is a bit of over-speculation. No point in such a test, plus if he knew, he would no doubt have put her in custody long before what happens later, just as a point of pride to say he finally got her. The character is ruthless but also prideful.
Sergeant York is really One Of The Best Movies EVER!! It's a fantastic film. Can't recommend it enough. Gary Cooper is awesome in this one. It also stars one of your favorites..Stumpy (Walter Brennan) from Rio Bravo. It's a must see movie. One of the Greats!
Brads throat scar was because of a hanging he survived. Seeing chapter 1 at the theaters was one of, if not the most intense & suspenseful scenes in a movie I've watched. The taverb n scene was very suspenseful, too.
Absolutely no spoilers here, but before watching Once Upon A Time In Hollywood you should do a bit of research on Charles Manson and his Family, if you're not familiar with them. It will enhance your enjoyment and appreciation no end
The scar on Aldo's neck is from being hanged/lynched. When I first joined the Army I had a Sergeant Major who had been lynched. The scar was intimidating as hell. Implied he somehow survived being hanged by the neck.
This is actually my favorite Tarantino film. His ability to build tension in it is just incredible; and the characters, particularly Waltz's Hans Landa, are simply marvelous. Oh, and yes, I did see it in theaters 15 years ago. Blew my mind.
He was signed to do Funny People and since it's a lead, Apatow was on a high rise (even tho most of the best stuff in 40 Year old and Knocked Up was improvised and Rogan wrote a lot for both without credit) and it kinda was written for Sandler so he did do that movie. It's okay.
@@idiot_city5444 In my opinion it would have sucked....I cant take that guys seriously. Eli Roth is more menacing with that face....and by far more talented than Sandler.
Hello Dawn!😊 I figured you were not prepared for this film.😉 The British General in headquarters was Mike Myers. This was the film that made Christoph Waltz (Landa) an International star. Great reactions to this classic Tarantino film, Dawn!!!🎬👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
There are so many scenes in this movie that Hitchcock would have been proud of for the suspense. The interrogation at the beginning and the bar scene stand out. The strudel in the restaurant looked divine but there was a huge side of terror served with it.
“Best movie ever” is right. Could watch it every damn day. And to your question at the end, yes I saw it when it first came out, and it’s one of those remarkable theater experiences that you don’t forget
In the basement bar room scene when they're playing the card game, it helps to know that King Kong was the biggest film in the world in the 1940s. King Kong was the original Star Wars or Avatar of Hollywood's golden age. So it's not really a reach that the Gestapo officer was able to solve it so fast.
This inspired me to rewatch my favourite WWII movies, the dutch "Black Book" and the french "Female Agents". I recommend them to anyone who sees this! Thanks for uploading! Greetings from Sweden
@dolf370 A bit dull, isn't it? Or maybe I was too young when I tried to watch it, maybe I'd appreciate it more today? I'd rather have her watch Smala Sussie, I've sent her a dvd. 😄

Zoller did fancy her from the start.

@@johgu92 He barricaded the audience's doors, so THEY couldn't get out. Then he entered a back door, so he can light the film on fire. Why would he barricade *that* door? Unless... he stayed behind, and went up with the fire (and/or got smoke inhalation) I say that he left, after lighting the fire.
@@johgu92 It's more poetic if he died that night, but if there wasn't a back door, how did he get past (checks notes) the Nazis, on his way to the other side of the screen?
I personally thought Landa didn’t know who she actually was. But it’s ambiguous enough and he’s smart enough that I would believe it if it was confirmed he did.
I think he did. He was just being mean and sadistic. Plus he ordered a fancy dessert just to extinguish his cigarette into it? A very vulgar move from an Aristocrat.
32:00 A reference to the French movie "Le Professionel" from 1981 when Jean-Paul Belmondo reaches out the helicopter - pacing, slow motion and string based melody of his agony are pretty similar.
Christoph Waltz is truly incredible, and it's a shame that he hasn't got any Oscars (as far as I know). He is in at least one other Tarantino movie (Hateful Eight or Django Unchained) and also a villain in one of Craig's James Bond movie. Every role I have seen him in, he kills it. Edit: Oups, he did get a well deserved Oscar for Landa!
Tarantino said the bar scene was only supposed to be 5 minutes, just meet up, exchange plans, then leave. But he said as he began to write the characters, the dialogue just went nuts! I personally believe the actress is an homage to a real German actress, who came to America, became a huge star, but still did spy stuff, plus as a genius, she invented electronic gimble targeting for submarines and bomber planes, and she is called The Grandmother of WiFi!!
Hans Landa IMO is THE perfect villain. He doesn't kill himself; he is only a very willing tool in detecting the victims of his orders. He is a brilliant mind, completely devoid of empathy, terrifying in this stance of dealing with what he believes to be unworthy forms of life. The cold-hearted cruelty clashes violently with his knowledge of cultures, languages, the elevated art of haute cuisine and fine living, and the fine arts. His devotion to something blatantly inhumane lasts only so long as he gains an advantage through it. Once the calculating mind recognizes the inevitable failure of the doctrines and war he followed he again, completely rationally yet unemotionally, decides to switch sides. Throughout all of this he remains calm, collected, doesn't raise his voice. Even when he gets violent it is a short, concentrated outburst. Yet he is among the most terrifying villains imaginable.
I would love to see you react to the movie SARGENT YORK. It's a great movie about another conscious objector in another war. It stars Gary Cooper which you might recall from the Western HIGH NOON. Do not forsake us oh our darling. You can react to SARGENT YORK. Do not forsake us Dawn Marie It's a great movie. We're sure you'll see Gary Cooper at his best.😊❤
In Germany, the way to indicate the number three with fingers is to extend the index, middle, and thumb fingers. This is different from how the British count to three, which is with the index, middle, and ring fingers
"Each of your daughters is more beautiful than the last" "What an insult to the last one" In Tarantino fashion, the "Bear Jew", Donnie Donowitz, is the father of the producer, Lee Donowitz, in True Romance. The scar on Brad Pitt's neck is from being hanged.
37:30 On the continent count the thumb as 1. In the UK, Canada and US 1 is the pointer finger. I'm Canadian but dad from Central Europe so didn't even think about it thumb is always 1.
When Germans signal 3 fingers, they use their thumb index, and middle finger. English and American folk hold up their index, middle, and the finger in between the middle and pinky finger.
All Europeans use their thumb. The Anglo way always puzzled me because it creates some unnecessary tension in the hand and wrist. It matches the archaic measuring system in its lack of logic.That said, maybe training a spy would cover gestures and mannerisms.
@@RuggeroBelloni I would imagine training a deep cover operative would require being meticulous with regards to cultural customs and practices. A common trope in spy films is a spy getting caught because they used a phrase wrong or slang that is no longer current.
@@timmooney7528 I agree.Being. norther Italian, after two years in Cambridge,UK I spent one year in Boston. I tried the " Black like me" (movie) experiment: if I checked out a chick, for those who knew me as a "Dago" I was a pig but if I passed for a Limey (Boston lingo) I was charmingly naughty. During my 20yrs in California I fit in and was mistaken for my employer's son. As a spy I blew my cover when a girlfriend served a lasagna with cottage cheese and my horrified look gave me away.😇😊
Just FYI. He didnt switch to English for the audience. He switched because The jews under the floorboard didnt understand english. And he already knew they were there.
Yup, it becomes apparent as the scene goes along. He already knows the farmer knows English (maybe from WW1 experience), and that the family he is hiding does not. He's likely 90% sure they are hiding there before he even shows up at the farm.
To Germans, the fingers are actually super obvious. It looks weird. Nobody does that here. When the officer is looking at the fingers, it's immediately clear why he's looking like that.😀
That pastry was usually made with cream but because of war shortages it was made with lard, pork fat and that was the reason it wasn't kosher. Bit you were close.
He was also involved in movies hes typically not credited for. Desperado, true romance, death proof, Dusk til dawn, and even a couple episodes of the tv show, Alias! DR Evil is Churchill's assistant here! Tarantino almost didn't make this movie, because they couldn't find an actor fluent in English German French and Italian!
I am not that big a fan of Brad Pitt's acting. But he is at his absolute peak in this and I love it. This movie is basically a revenge fantasy for everyone who hates Nazis....and I love it! This and Django Unchained go together in that way.
I love Tarantino films and Inglorious Bastards is my favorite of them , so many great performances with amazing editing and one of favorite film endings ever.
16:20 The German word "Schnaps" just means "spirit/hard liquor" in general (in contrast to the German loanword "schnapps" in English, which is more specified). So, Vodka, Whisky, rum... all of that falls within the definition of Schnaps (at least colloquially). 🙂
I love the unresolved question of whether Landa recognizes Shoshanna. He sure seems to be toying with her. Does he know and not care? Or did the other more important events take precedence?
I do not think he knows. It makes no sense that he would let her walk free, since he could just take over the whole location even if he at that point was planning some kind of double-cross. In any case, at that point the rest of the "opportunities" in the film had not yet come up.
Always glad to see Tarantino back. Glad you liked it. You really should watch the original King Kong from 1933. My favorite movie and so much fun. On to the next one!!
Casting someone fluent in German, French, Italian and English, who is also an amazing actor, was *almost* impossible

He was signed to do Funny People and since it's a lead, Apatow was on a high rise (even tho most of the best stuff in 40 Year old and Knocked Up was improvised and Rogan wrote a lot for both without credit) and it kinda was written for Sandler so he did do that movie. It's okay.
@@idiot_city5444 In my opinion it would have sucked....I cant take that guys seriously. Eli Roth is more menacing with that face....and by far more talented than Sandler.
Imagine Happy Gilmore throwing that bat...
@@BabyNoah22 i could never see Eli Roth pull off a performance like Sandler did in Uncut Gems

Yay! Dawn is back! :) great to see ya as always!
Hello Dawn!😊 I figured you were not prepared for this film.😉 The British General in headquarters was Mike Myers. This was the film that made Christoph Waltz (Landa) an International star. Great reactions to this classic Tarantino film, Dawn!!!🎬👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
There are so many scenes in this movie that Hitchcock would have been proud of for the suspense. The interrogation at the beginning and the bar scene stand out. The strudel in the restaurant looked divine but there was a huge side of terror served with it.
Tarantino and the Coen Brothers = the best movie makers of all time !
I have them all on Blu-ray dvd
Very fun reaction to a great movie!
Also...
Best hair ever!
The red really suits you!
“Best movie ever” is right. Could watch it every damn day.
And to your question at the end, yes I saw it when it first came out, and it’s one of those remarkable theater experiences that you don’t forget
In the basement bar room scene when they're playing the card game, it helps to know that King Kong was the biggest film in the world in the 1940s. King Kong was the original Star Wars or Avatar of Hollywood's golden age. So it's not really a reach that the Gestapo officer was able to solve it so fast.
This inspired me to rewatch my favourite WWII movies, the dutch "Black Book" and the french "Female Agents". I recommend them to anyone who sees this!
Thanks for uploading! Greetings from Sweden
Ah, a fellow swede, help me inspire her to watch Sjunde inseglet!
@dolf370 A bit dull, isn't it? Or maybe I was too young when I tried to watch it, maybe I'd appreciate it more today? I'd rather have her watch Smala Sussie, I've sent her a dvd. 😄
@@andreasbenning "Dull"!?!?!?! That kind of blasphemy is just the reason why people are burned at the stake . It's the best swedish movie ever made. And besides being very funny, it is also in black and white which Dawn loves.
@dolf370 I'll rewatch it before saying anything about it again! 😄
@@andreasbenning excellent idea 😈
I used to work at a theater and that is how the sign is changed even to this day by some theaters and it was my favorite part of the job.
A little chance to get away from your co-workers? 😁
Zoller did fancy her from the start. She might be up on the ladder arranging the cinema titles, but he had seen her (and of course, being in Paris, he could have seen her earlier, at or around the Cinema). Not that it's difficult to see if a girl is pretty when they're up on a ladder. To quote the immortal words of Lt. Frank Drebin to a woman on a ladder "Nice beaver!"
The saying something akin to "But if Hitler's there their plan fails as he didn't die that way." Then surprise! It's secretly an Alternate History Movie.
" Everyone...Everyone????...EVERYONE lost their ball!!!!! "
Peak Dawn Marie
Tarantino actually wanted Adam Sandler to play the Bear Jew. Would’ve been a totally different character 🤣
That would have been quite different. I can picture how goofy the bat scene would be in the Billy Madison voice.
Everytime i see the sceane at the cinema. Their itallian presentations always keep me laughing every single time! Gorlaaaaaaami! What? Gorlamiiiiiii!😂margaretti with the hand😂and the cuoco so proud of himself😂😇masterpiece
"Everyone! Everyone lost their balls!" ROFL
I love watching your reactions to movies and such.
But, like... I'd gladly fall asleep to you singing lullabies. 😅 Your voice is INTOXICATING.
I’ve been sick as a dog with a sinus infection the last 4 days, can’t work, been stuck in my bedroom going kind of crazy. This is exactly what I needed to keep my mind occupied. Thanks for another awesome upload!
It's likely that Marcel got out, unless he wanted to die with Shoshanna.
I wish there was a small scene of him in the credits, smoking at a cafe and waiting for Shoshanna.
He most certainly died
@@johgu92 He barricaded the audience's doors, so THEY couldn't get out. Then he entered a back door, so he can light the film on fire. Why would he barricade *that* door?
Unless... he stayed behind, and went up with the fire (and/or got smoke inhalation)
I say that he left, after lighting the fire.
@@charleslee8313 No way, it's way more poetical if he died, also there was not shown to be a back entrance.
@@johgu92 It's more poetic if he died that night, but if there wasn't a back door, how did he get past (checks notes) the Nazis, on his way to the other side of the screen?
I personally thought Landa didn’t know who she actually was. But it’s ambiguous enough and he’s smart enough that I would believe it if it was confirmed he did.
I think he did. He was just being mean and sadistic.
Plus he ordered a fancy dessert just to extinguish his cigarette into it? A very vulgar move from an Aristocrat.
he knew, Hans Landa orders the Shosanna a glass of milk, a reference to the opening scene in the movie, implying that he knew
@@ThobyWanOr maybe just a coincidence
@@ThobyWan yeah but milk is also common to have with pastry
I think he did, but he's sadistic and likes the mental torture he has over her.
Christoph Waltz EARNED his Oscar for this performance
“Once upon a time haha ….. oh” lol that gave me a chuckle
32:00 A reference to the French movie "Le Professionel" from 1981 when Jean-Paul Belmondo reaches out the helicopter - pacing, slow motion and string based melody of his agony are pretty similar.
Sergeant York is a GREAT movie to look at. It's a good movie, and I don't think a lot of other reactors watch it.
Christoph Waltz is truly incredible, and it's a shame that he hasn't got any Oscars (as far as I know). He is in at least one other Tarantino movie (Hateful Eight or Django Unchained) and also a villain in one of Craig's James Bond movie.
Every role I have seen him in, he kills it.
Edit: Oups, he did get a well deserved Oscar for Landa!
Tarantino said the bar scene was only supposed to be 5 minutes, just meet up, exchange plans, then leave. But he said as he began to write the characters, the dialogue just went nuts! I personally believe the actress is an homage to a real German actress, who came to America, became a huge star, but still did spy stuff, plus as a genius, she invented electronic gimble targeting for submarines and bomber planes, and she is called The Grandmother of WiFi!!
I had totally forgotten about Borat's cameo in this movie.
Love how u take notes. Certainly helped keeping track of all the X-Men. (lol)
Hi Dawn Marie. Great movie reaction pumpkin. Love you.
Hans Landa IMO is THE perfect villain. He doesn't kill himself; he is only a very willing tool in detecting the victims of his orders.
He is a brilliant mind, completely devoid of empathy, terrifying in this stance of dealing with what he believes to be unworthy forms of life. The cold-hearted cruelty clashes violently with his knowledge of cultures, languages, the elevated art of haute cuisine and fine living, and the fine arts. His devotion to something blatantly inhumane lasts only so long as he gains an advantage through it. Once the calculating mind recognizes the inevitable failure of the doctrines and war he followed he again, completely rationally yet unemotionally, decides to switch sides.
Throughout all of this he remains calm, collected, doesn't raise his voice. Even when he gets violent it is a short, concentrated outburst. Yet he is among the most terrifying villains imaginable.
I love how the German sergeant says Hugo Stiglitz.
Oh Ya Burger what a film brutal & brilliant (I think you can breath now Dawn) Another great reaction
YES! I've been asking lots of people to review/react to "Sgt York" starring Gary Cooper. No one has. It's a true story and has a love interest too.
I agree with some of your other viewers, Sergeant York is a fantastic movie to react to. I believe you will love it.
Sergeant York(1941) would be a great choice of an old war film to react to.
I would love to see you react to the movie SARGENT YORK. It's a great movie about another conscious objector in another war. It stars Gary Cooper which you might recall from the Western HIGH NOON.
Do not forsake us oh our darling.
You can react to SARGENT YORK.
Do not forsake us Dawn Marie
It's a great movie. We're sure you'll see
Gary Cooper at his best.😊❤
"I can't look at that!" While she's staring right at it!
In Germany, the way to indicate the number three with fingers is to extend the index, middle, and thumb fingers. This is different from how the British count to three, which is with the index, middle, and ring fingers
"Each of your daughters is more beautiful than the last"
"What an insult to the last one"
In Tarantino fashion, the "Bear Jew", Donnie Donowitz, is the father of the producer, Lee Donowitz, in True Romance. The scar on Brad Pitt's neck is from being hanged.
Yes you'd love sgt. York!
Yes do watch Sgt. York. Gary Cooper, black and white, 1941. Excellent movie.
37:30 On the continent count the thumb as 1. In the UK, Canada and US 1 is the pointer finger. I'm Canadian but dad from Central Europe so didn't even think about it thumb is always 1.
Did get to see this on the big screen and yes that was my reaction 😂
Quentin Tarantino, the master of alternate endings
Great film 😎🤘🏻 lysm Dawn Marie 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍😊
When Germans signal 3 fingers, they use their thumb index, and middle finger. English and American folk hold up their index, middle, and the finger in between the middle and pinky finger.
It's the ring finger (the one between middle and pinky).
All Europeans use their thumb.
The Anglo way always puzzled
me because it creates some unnecessary tension in the hand
and wrist. It matches the archaic
measuring system in its lack of
logic.That said, maybe training
a spy would cover gestures and
mannerisms.
@@RuggeroBelloni I would imagine training a deep cover operative would require being meticulous with regards to cultural customs and practices. A common trope in spy films is a spy getting caught because they used a phrase wrong or slang that is no longer current.
@@timmooney7528 I agree.Being.

Just FYI. He didnt switch to English for the audience. He switched because The jews under the floorboard didnt understand english. And he already knew they were there.
Yup, it becomes apparent as the scene goes along. He already knows the farmer knows English (maybe from WW1 experience), and that the family he is hiding does not. He's likely 90% sure they are hiding there before he even shows up at the farm.
Nice reaction, thx very much
To Germans, the fingers are actually super obvious. It looks weird. Nobody does that here.
When the officer is looking at the fingers, it's immediately clear why he's looking like that.😀
Yup. Just one little cultural slip-up and the spy mission gets exposed. Clever way to do it.
I haven't watched in a while, just have to say your hair looks magnificent
That pastry was usually made with cream but because of war shortages it was made with lard, pork fat and that was the reason it wasn't kosher. Bit you were close.
He was also involved in movies hes typically not credited for. Desperado, true romance, death proof, Dusk til dawn, and even a couple episodes of the tv show, Alias!
DR Evil is Churchill's assistant here! Tarantino almost didn't make this movie, because they couldn't find an actor fluent in English German French and Italian!
My favorite Tarantino flick by far.
Aldo's scar is consistent with a friction burn.
I am not that big a fan of Brad Pitt's acting. But he is at his absolute peak in this and I love it.
This movie is basically a revenge fantasy for everyone who hates Nazis....and I love it! This and Django Unchained go together in that way.
I love Tarantino films and Inglorious Bastards is my favorite of them , so many great performances with amazing editing and one of favorite film endings ever.
16:20 The German word "Schnaps" just means "spirit/hard liquor" in general (in contrast to the German loanword "schnapps" in English, which is more specified).
So, Vodka, Whisky, rum... all of that falls within the definition of Schnaps (at least colloquially). 🙂
11:18 guy sounded like a goblin 🤣
I love the unresolved question of whether Landa recognizes Shoshanna. He sure seems to be toying with her. Does he know and not care? Or did the other more important events take precedence?
I do not think he knows. It makes no sense that he would let her walk free, since he could just take over the whole location even if he at that point was planning some kind of double-cross. In any case, at that point the rest of the "opportunities" in the film had not yet come up.
THESE EYELASSES ARE MUCH BETTER
Always glad to see Tarantino back. Glad you liked it. You really should watch the original King Kong from 1933. My favorite movie and so much fun. On to the next one!!
You actually said don’t ask strangers into your house. You do know what Nazi occupied means don’t you?
