Hans Landa is probably the most savage polite villian ever. He uses politeness and manners to put people at ease so they will slip up as he questions them.
Another interesting nuance not discussed in the movie is in the scene with the strudel. Landa is not only suspicious of everyone and trying to figure her out, there's layers to how he does this. During WW2 this strudel would have been made with pig lard instead of butter due to wartime shortage, something a jewish person would visibly have a hard time eating. That's why he basically forces her. Also in the beginning farm scene when he asks for milk and grasps the daughters hand, he actually positions his fingers in such a way so he could feel her pulse and know if her heart was racing. So many nuances to this character. Christoph Waltz is amazing.
@@ColetteCherry If you've not seen Pulp Fiction, it should be your next Tarantino film! Once upon a Time in Hollywood is another really good one, brush up on your history of the Manson family/Tate murders before you watch that one, its a great 'what if' movie, like Inglorious Bastards, but also a great look into Hollywood in the 60's, early 70's. .
42:43 "Mein Führer" means "My Leader" and was used to address Adolf Hitler during his rule over Nazi Germany. The term "Führer" emphasized his absolute authority, and people used it as a sign of loyalty, reinforced by propaganda and fear. Today, it’s strongly tied to Hitler and the Nazi era, making it a term with a very negative historical connotation
When the German actress meets with the Basterds, she tells them “the Führer will be attending the movie premiere”, meaning Hitler will be attending it. During Hitler’s reign, words like “Führererlass”, literally leader’s degree, were used, a modern equivalent would be a presidential degree (only that in totalitarian regime such a degree would supersede anything else).
21:40 The reason why Landa insistead she stayed with him to eat the strudel, because due to the wartime shortages, the strudel was made of pig lard, instead of butter. He was testing her reaction to eating food Judaism forbids to consume, either because he was suspecting her identity, and tried to get her to giver herself away, or because he knew who she was, and wanted to torture her.
I don't think shortages had anything to do with it. Lard makes the best flaky pastry anyWAYy, and if there really had been a shortage of butter they wouldn't be serving glasses of milk or whipped cream.
For me - I am an Austrian - the most amazing thing about this movie is: that every major actor is speaking all the languages by themselfe. Waltz speaks german, italian, french and all of his english dialogues. Most of the german actors, if not all , do the same. Diane Kruger fakes english with a german accent although she can speak flawless english and german. And even Michael Fassbander - whom I love for his perfect british - does his german lines in this movie by himself!
One of the most intense opening scenes in film history, the silence screams. Only Quentin Tarantino could weaponize food. The cheeseburger in Pulp Fiction with Sam Jackson..."Mmm-hmm that is a tasty burger!" As with the milk is used with in this and later the crème in the film...well done.
@@azazello1784 What makes him an antihero? It's been a long time since I';ve seen this movie and maybe parts were edited out here that displayed his antihero traits, but I didn't see any.
Christoph Waltz only agreed to star in Django if he was cast as the absolute opposite of Hans Landa because he didn’t want to play someone as evil again…Tarantino obviously agreed and cast him as Dr. King Schultz
@@shibitoobscura3348 we probably do it like the British because Portugal and UK are considered the oldest alliance between countries, so Probably some mannerisms were sheared between us..
I don't think people give Mike Myers enough credit for his little scene. He's exactly what you imagine a 30's British high command member to sound like, the cadence he speaks in, the accent, all of it is so good and makes me chuckle every time lmao
Normally I prefer more historically accurate war films, but this one is just so damn fun! And the cast is superb! Thank you for watching this! And loving following your journey on your film!
Actually Hellstrom understand everything from beginning. His job is to know german soldiers in this region and he obviously noticed Stiglitz. But pub was full of soldiers so he too relaxed and tried to outplay spies to understand what they trying to do.
Why do I get the impression from most "first"-time-watching-vlogs that it's at least a 2nd time watching? Especially in the opening scene, when you see it for the first time, you can hardly imagine that the mood will change so much. This is Tartentino's masterpiece.
Fun fact: Leonardo DiCaprio was originally considered for Hans Landa, but Tarantino changed his mind as he wrote the script (Leo is half-German and his mom was born in Germany towards the end of World War II). I wouldn’t be surprised if Leo’s role as Calvin Candie in DJANGO UNCHAINED was in part to make up for this.
in bar scene, everything was wrong with Fasbander character, maybe with soldiers they could get out of it, but the SS Officer understood everything because of his accent and it wasn't the ''three'' hand sign that revealed him, the sign just confirmed it. And about ''strudel'' scene, yes Landa knew who Shushana was, drinking milk while eating strudel, won't be koshier, even that he ordered milk says everything.
It is refreshing to see a RUclips "reactioner" as smart as you. You see everything, the plot, the subtleties and more. Very wonderful to see you totally "get it" in every scenario. Also how you see Tarantino's construction of the events and again "get it" is so awesome. Great movie, glad you enjoyed it! ALSO: I predict you will go far! 🙂
Hell or High Water is a must see with great actors. It’s written by Taylor Sheridan who also does the best TV series Yellowstone, among many other shows and movies.
Thank you very much for this new video,so great reactions and many helpful and useful informations for everybody! Warm greetings from the Central Europe (the Czech Republic). Have a wonderful,beautiful time and take care.Btw - during your amazing videos I improve my English - thanks a lot!
i'm obsessed with the pipes scene and even developed my own little theory. apparently landa's pipe is one of the most expensive types, ivory or something, but perrier's pipe is the cheapest self made out of corn. so i think, at least i consider it my head cannon, that the jeweish family's father made this pipe as a gift for the guy.
If the farmer at the beginning hadn't told Landa the truth, he still would have found the hiding family, but the farmer's family would have died too. He had no choice but to protect his family.
Enjoy your opinion on movies. This was a good choice. My fav scenes are the beginning one, and the bar-mexican shootoff scene. That's what I'm looking for in people's reactions, and you comprehensively broke it down/felt the moment. Love your attention to detail.
The best way to think of Tarantino’s films where he employs “Revisionist History” (of which he has several) is as he perfectly summarised himself: “This is not how we know history played out…but it is however how history *WOULD* have played out if my own characters were real.”.
I've become a massive fan of Chappell Roan this year... The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess is the greatest album I've heard in any genre in a long time. The concepts for a number of her songs are alternative realities of events in her RL... i.e., based on real events, but what she wished HAD happened. She wanted to be a cheerleader in h.s. but knew she wouldn't get picked; so she created HOT TO GO! and lead 80,000 people at once in a cheer-like dance. In 2019 she envied the go-go dancers at a gay bar in LA, and made herself a go-go dancer in her mind instead in Pink Pony Club. She didn't really get with the women in Red Wine Supernova and Naked in Manhattan, she was still in the fantasizing stage, imagining it. Her h.s. prom date wouldn't dance with her and even left her stranded at prom; in Super Graphic Ultra Modern Girl she flips the script and it is her who finds her dull, non-dancing date inadequate and rejects him. I don't think her emotionally abusive ex from RL crashed his car, but in My Kink is Karma he did. She was crazy about the Picture You guy, but it turned out he was dissing her behind her back (he's also the Casual guy). And maybe most poignantly, her ex in Coffee, in RL she actually did meet up with him and go home with him, after which she regretted it; she put into song what she wished she had done instead. Sorry to all of you who aren't Chappell Roan fans, for you all of that was way OT. But yes this IS what Tarantino also is delivering to us, except in brilliant cinematic form, in Inglourious Basterds and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood: Preferred outcomes to what unfortunately happened IRL. Also I'm taking a stab in the dark that Colette just might be a Chappell fan, too. (Actually IDK of very many young women who currently are not.)
I remember during my studies in the US we went to a discotheque (as a german) and i odered one beer, the waitress accustically didnt understood me and said " THREE?" and i said " no ONE" and put up my thumb to show her by sign language i only wanted one. The rest of the night i was walking around with three beer. So I instantly knew he was dead when he did that weird 3 fingers. lessons for life!
Discotheque eh? Love the throwback word, it's not something most young people now would use. Nowadays we just call it a bar or club. Good stuff, see how knowing other cultures broadens the mind, eh? I love it. Some people also say three with the middle finger, ring and pinkie held up. If you need a reference for that in the original Spiderman movie with Toby Mcguire, when he is fighting Bone Saw in the cage match, Bone Saw holds up three fingers that way to signify three minutes.
Colette Cherry in "Christoph Waltz In *Inglourious Basterds* left me SPEECHLESS! first time watching" left me speechless Loved the reaction and without being disrespectful, you're absolutely beautiful and you seem very smart. :)
21:37 Landa ordering Strudel with cream was a test. Back then cream was often made with lard due to rationing. Lard is not kosher, so Jews would usually refuse to eat it. He knows that. Since he suspects her of being Shoshana he ordered it to a) see if she eats it b) humiliate her.
Christoph Waltz was essential in this movie even happening. Tarentino couldn't find an actor he was satisfied with for the role if Hans Landa. When Waltz agreed to do the role, thats when filming was finally able to proceed.
Ironically, America had a big time German actress, who was a spy and brilliant. She invented triple axel or gimble targeting systems for planes and tanks and subs, which made them far more accurate and is also called the mother or grandmother of WiFi. I believe it was heddy Lamar!
Also the pub scene... Tarantino said, he meant it to be a max 5 minute scene. Just everyone meet each other, exchange info, then get out. But he said, as he began to write each characters dialogue, they just kept talking and going and the direction of the scene just went haywire!
"Why are they calling him Mein Fuhrer?" lol.. oh Colette.. you're so funny 🤣🤣 It's German for My Leader.. it's what everyone in Nazi Germany called Hitler. Also for what it's worth I never thought you pre-watched movies. I just know you pause and rewind a lot (which you always say you do).. so of course you figure out certain details about movies.. it's part of what I love about your reactions. I love a lot of other reactors as well.. but this is one thing that makes you different from others and I appreciate that!
My favorite part of this movie is that it doesn't have to be an alternate history. There is some controversy over how Hitler died, since it's more than likely people would have made up conspiracy theories right after he died unless it was filmed. Yes, he more than likely died in his bunker; high as a kite ... but it wouldn't be inconceivable/impossible that this was the actual version. In my head-canon, Aldo carved that last symbol too deep and Landa did not survive to go to Nantucket. I mean, would the head brass really care if he died en-route? He already gave up all the info they needed anyway.
Colette il give u one thing ur great at seeing the undertones and hidden stuff then every other reactor I watch don’t get , u see it straight away, u said u do acting that’s prop why , great channel ,great reactions and input 👍👍👍
Quentin Tarantino is one of the best Directors of all time in my opinion. His movies can be a bit much for people but despite what he does he always does it with style and intent. He doesn't just direct movies, he weaves a tapestry of experience.
I liked Frederick Zoeller-He wasn’t a bad man, just a little creepy. But he was just a solider in the end. He didn’t kill civilians, he just shot the enemy.
@Colette Cherry I've been waiting for a while for you to get into Tarantino's movies. You always have a really good take on the production side of the movies and this is pretty much a masterpiece. So many people say Tarantino is overrated. I most respectfully disagree. His characters are amazing the dialogues are very organic and natural and I absolutely love the way he shoots his scenes. Those long takes just stay on the characters whilst they're having a conversation and he let the scene develop I absolutely love this style. Plenty of fun, violence, the tension in some of these scenes are through the rooof and you just sitting there knowing it will explode but dont know when. Loving it. Gotta say for me Christoph Waltz was a huge standout in this movie. He played that despicable character with such charm it was really fascinating. That scene with in the lobby of the cinema was hilarious, he was toying with them and congratulated the 3rd guy for saying his own name with convincing italian. Superb acting and great writing. Such fun.
They all expected to die anyway so dont be sad for them! Frederick had a thing for her and Shoshanna for him, not that she had a thing for him, but was a bit endeared to him, and regretted killing him.
1:36 "Is this Fassbenders big breakout role?" I don't think so. He got on my radar three years prior to Inglourious Basterds, when he played in 300. That's what got him into big action hollywood.
If you want a director to push the envelope, Quentin Tarantino pushes the whole post office! 😂 Definitely watch the Kill Bills next. I think you’d love them. My personal favorites are those, this one, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, and Hateful 8. Although honestly, you really should just work through his entire filmography (there’s only 9 movies).
Its amazing so many reactors dont seem to get it when Landa starts speaking Italian, which underscores Americans do not speak any other language than their own. Best line of the movie: "Can you Americans speak any other language than english?" Local joke: "How do you call someone who speaks two languages? Bilangual. How do you call someone who speaks only one language? American!" 🙃
This movie opens with one of the best slow-build tension scenes in movie history. And it wasn't even the best slow build tension scene in this movie. Drei Gläser!
As pointed out in the film itself, the British guy pretending to be German gave himself as he had a foreign accent to his German and did not display "three" the German way. Besides Germans, most Europeans start counting with their thumb, not the index finger. Phonological and body language both can give someone away as not being native to a country or region.
I just realized that if indeed Shosanna's story takes place in Paris, 4 years after the massacre of her family (1941), then that doesn't make a lot of sense. The year would be 1945 and the Germans were not sitting firmly in Paris by then. Of course I do realize it's not meant to be historically accurate but still, after all those years just done the math xD
tarantino does a subtle thing where he makes the audience question itself. nazis are bad. but are you comfortable with your bloodlust for them? let's see. he shows a nazi officer behaving honorably and bravely, he shows the brutality of the basterds by graphically showing their scalping, he shows the audience in the theater banging on the walls to get out evoking images of gas chambers, he shows the bear jew just turning hitler's face into hamburger... and the movie's asking - is this what you wanted?
Gonna drop a random bit of historical fact here to complement that scene from 31:00 where the woman is explaining how to order "Three glasses" the german way. But in my case, regarding soviet soldiers back during the second world war. My ex-wife is russian, and she had a grandfather who used to work in a factory building parts for guns and other machinery. His name was Vitaly, and he used to tell this story where one day they caught a german spy investigating their bunkers. Same story as this movie, at first he was interrogated due to his accent, but what eventually betrayed him was the UNIFORM he was wearing. You see, russians used buttons on their jackets and each had 4 holes, allowing for a double wrap when using a line to form a stitch. In the end, each button would display 2 vertical lines. But the german spy had buttons with an X type of stitch instead, the kind russians never used. And that's what got him caught.
The British spy said 3 glasses and used his index, middle and ring fingers to indicate 3. Germans use thumb index and middle so he immediately knew that he wasn’t a real german
Almost 100,000 subs. Keep going you’re gonna hit the stratosphere. By the way, I was born in Heidelberg, Germany, the colonel Landa is a freak of nature
Tarantino almost didn’t make this movie because he couldn’t find a good enough actor to play Landa. When he found Waltz, and saw what he was capable of, not only did he go ahead with the movie, but he told Waltz to dial back his performance to a 5 or 6 out of 10 during rehearsals, and to only crank it up to a 10 when the cameras were rolling. This way he could capture the other actors’ genuine shock and fear when Waltz really channeled the terrifying malice of Landa!
If you really wanna be challenged, my humble recomendations are "Oldboy" (Korea, dir: Park Chan Wook) "City of God" (Brazil dir: Fernando Meirelles) "Ran" (Japan dir: Akira Kurosawa) and "Wild Tales" (Argentine dir:Damián Szifron)
All Tarantino movies are good! Even those with minor or no credits such as True Romance Desperado El Mariachi Dusk til dawn, Death Proof, he even did an episode or 2 of Alias! His first written and directed is still my favorite. Reservoir dogs is very few sets locations, and dialogue heavy! Also churchills assistant here is Mike Myers!😮😮😮 Also the original inglorious basterds was done in the 70s. Totally different tho.
He and the producers wanted to do the movie but thought it would never happen. They couldn't find a actor fluent in English German French and at least verbal in Italian. They tried dozens of actors, all no good. In walks cristof, they run lines with him a bit. He leaves. Tarantino and the producers look at each other and say, we've got a movie! He's also excellent in Django, Alita battle angel, and a killer in a movie i think called The Consultant! Also because he uses actors over and over, Sam Jackson does some narration here, and Mr Wolf/Mr White talks to brad Pitt over the phone! The bear jew is Eli Roth a excellent horror director. Hos movie Clown, is terrifying! Pull up a short here, type in Eli Roths' Clown! Also he does something very smart here, to try snd smoke out shoshana. During the lunch scene, everything he offered her to eat and drink, is non Kosher!😮😮😮
All your fan boys giving you a pass on not knowing that the dude screaming commands, pounding his fist, and being called Mein Füher….whilst sporting a lil moustache was Hitler….You have some loyal fan boys.
The scene where Hans Lands offered her cake with the cream is really important btw. Cream in that time was made with a little pig fat In it, and not kosher. So Jews wouldn’t eat it. Its an awesome detail from Quentin Tarantino
The performance of Christoph Waltz as Colonel Hans Landa, is one of the greatests ever. What an amazing character. Terrific, classy and smart as hell.
Uh, si, correcto.

Waltz is amazing.
And his insistence on cream on the pastry is a call back to the dairy farm.
Love how Aldo can barely manage a hello in Italian and then Landa just throws a freaking book.
The first scene in this movie is a master class on how to build suspense
Agreed!
@@ColetteCherry If you've not seen Pulp Fiction, it should be your next Tarantino film! Once upon a Time in Hollywood is another really good one, brush up on your history of the Manson family/Tate murders before you watch that one, its a great 'what if' movie, like Inglorious Bastards, but also a great look into Hollywood in the 60's, early 70's. .
Landa was smart enough to know the war was turning and the Germans were losing and ensured his survival.
He was upset his detective skills were put to use tracking random innocent people instead of the team looking for magic holy relics.

I can honestly say that the entire basement sequence is my favorite from Tarantino.
Führer was Hitler's title. It's like calling Abe Lincoln "Mr. President".
Or like genuflecting to Donald Trump
Fuhrer is just Leader in German.
Adding on to your comment, Führer translates to leader.
Your next Tarantino movie has to be Django Unchained. Christoph Waltz again gives an amazing
Performance and so does Leonardo DiCaprio.
And hopefully Once upon a time in Hollywood. I think that movie is one of Tarantino's finest.
Thanks for the reaction! I'm glad my favorite reactors are genuine. Keep up the good work!
Actually Hellstrom understand everything from beginning. His job is to know german soldiers in this region and he obviously noticed Stiglitz. But pub was full of soldiers so he too relaxed and tried to outplay spies to understand what they trying to do.

The reason they focused on the cream in the scene with landa and shoshanna is cause it isnt Kosher, also fuhrer is a title not a name
"Mein Führer" means 'my Leader', which is what the Nazis called Hitler.
My favorite from Tarantino. That opening scene puts you on edge and keeps you there the whole movie
I remember during my studies in the US we went to a discotheque (as a german) and i odered one beer, the waitress accustically didnt understood me and said " THREE?" and i said " no ONE" and put up my thumb to show her by sign language i only wanted one. The rest of the night i was walking around with three beer. So I instantly knew he was dead when he did that weird 3 fingers. lessons for life!
Discotheque eh? Love the throwback word, it's not something most young people now would use. Nowadays we just call it a bar or club. Good stuff, see how knowing other cultures broadens the mind, eh? I love it.
Some people also say three with the middle finger, ring and pinkie held up. If you need a reference for that in the original Spiderman movie with Toby Mcguire, when he is fighting Bone Saw in the cage match, Bone Saw holds up three fingers that way to signify three minutes.
Colette Cherry in "Christoph Waltz In *Inglourious Basterds* left me SPEECHLESS! first time watching" left me speechless
Loved the reaction and without being disrespectful, you're absolutely beautiful and you seem very smart. :)
21:37 Landa ordering Strudel with cream was a test. Back then cream was often made with lard due to rationing. Lard is not kosher, so Jews would usually refuse to eat it. He knows that. Since he suspects her of being Shoshana he ordered it to a) see if she eats it b) humiliate her.
Christoph Waltz was essential in this movie even happening. Tarentino couldn't find an actor he was satisfied with for the role if Hans Landa. When Waltz agreed to do the role, thats when filming was finally able to proceed.
Hi Colette hope you are having an great and awesome day ❤
Ironically, America had a big time German actress, who was a spy and brilliant. She invented triple axel or gimble targeting systems for planes and tanks and subs, which made them far more accurate and is also called the mother or grandmother of WiFi. I believe it was heddy Lamar!
Also the pub scene... Tarantino said, he meant it to be a max 5 minute scene. Just everyone meet each other, exchange info, then get out. But he said, as he began to write each characters dialogue, they just kept talking and going and the direction of the scene just went haywire!
Hi! Please comment more on the actors performances, it is so GOOD when someone notice the CRAFT of acting, like you do!
my favorite part is when Mike Meyers says "The objective? Blow up the basket..." the look on his face is just too subtle and good.
😜
"Why are they calling him Mein Fuhrer?" lol.. oh Colette.. you're so funny 🤣🤣 It's German for My Leader.. it's what everyone in Nazi Germany called Hitler. Also for what it's worth I never thought you pre-watched movies. I just know you pause and rewind a lot (which you always say you do).. so of course you figure out certain details about movies.. it's part of what I love about your reactions. I love a lot of other reactors as well.. but this is one thing that makes you different from others and I appreciate that!
My favorite part of this movie is that it doesn't have to be an alternate history. There is some controversy over how Hitler died, since it's more than likely people would have made up conspiracy theories right after he died unless it was filmed. Yes, he more than likely died in his bunker; high as a kite ... but it wouldn't be inconceivable/impossible that this was the actual version. In my head-canon, Aldo carved that last symbol too deep and Landa did not survive to go to Nantucket. I mean, would the head brass really care if he died en-route? He already gave up all the info they needed anyway.
Colette and lite watching uploading inglorious bastards on the same day😅
Colette il give u one thing ur great at seeing the undertones and hidden stuff then every other reactor I watch don’t get , u see it straight away, u said u do acting that’s prop why , great channel ,great reactions and input 👍👍👍
Quentin Tarantino is one of the best Directors of all time in my opinion. His movies can be a bit much for people but despite what he does he always does it with style and intent. He doesn't just direct movies, he weaves a tapestry of experience.
I liked Frederick Zoeller-He wasn’t a bad man, just a little creepy. But he was just a solider in the end. He didn’t kill civilians, he just shot the enemy.
If you’re enjoying Michael Fassbender in this, you will like him a lot in X-men: First Class. Some very cool scenes and great performance
He has one hell of a presence
@Colette Cherry
I've been waiting for a while for you to get into Tarantino's movies. You always have a really good take on the production side of the movies and this is pretty much a masterpiece.
So many people say Tarantino is overrated. I most respectfully disagree. His characters are amazing the dialogues are very organic and natural and I absolutely love the way he shoots his scenes. Those long takes just stay on the characters whilst they're having a conversation and he let the scene develop I absolutely love this style. Plenty of fun, violence, the tension in some of these scenes are through the rooof and you just sitting there knowing it will explode but dont know when. Loving it.
Gotta say for me Christoph Waltz was a huge standout in this movie. He played that despicable character with such charm it was really fascinating. That scene with in the lobby of the cinema was hilarious, he was toying with them and congratulated the 3rd guy for saying his own name with convincing italian. Superb acting and great writing. Such fun.
Also, I gotta point out the sheer irony of commenting what Fassbender's tell was, *_when the movie literally does that._*
I just rewatched this movie last night!
They all expected to die anyway so dont be sad for them! Frederick had a thing for her and Shoshanna for him, not that she had a thing for him, but was a bit endeared to him, and regretted killing him.
1:36 "Is this Fassbenders big breakout role?" I don't think so. He got on my radar three years prior to Inglourious Basterds, when he played in 300. That's what got him into big action hollywood.
Even when ain’t no math involved they wear they brain on they sleeeve😂😂
"Django Unchained" also a masterpiece.
If you want a director to push the envelope, Quentin Tarantino pushes the whole post office! 😂
Definitely watch the Kill Bills next. I think you’d love them. My personal favorites are those, this one, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, and Hateful 8. Although honestly, you really should just work through his entire filmography (there’s only 9 movies).
Its amazing so many reactors dont seem to get it when Landa starts speaking Italian, which underscores Americans do not speak any other language than their own. Best line of the movie: "Can you Americans speak any other language than english?" Local joke: "How do you call someone who speaks two languages? Bilangual. How do you call someone who speaks only one language? American!" 🙃
I definitely understood that was the point of that scene when they couldn’t speak anything with English :)
This movie opens with one of the best slow-build tension scenes in movie history. And it wasn't even the best slow build tension scene in this movie. Drei Gläser!
As pointed out in the film itself, the British guy pretending to be German gave himself as he had a foreign accent to his German and did not display "three" the German way. Besides Germans, most Europeans start counting with their thumb, not the index finger. Phonological and body language both can give someone away as not being native to a country or region.
I just realized that if indeed Shosanna's story takes place in Paris, 4 years after the massacre of her family (1941), then that doesn't make a lot of sense. The year would be 1945 and the Germans were not sitting firmly in Paris by then. Of course I do realize it's not meant to be historically accurate but still, after all those years just done the math xD
The accuracy of the dates is irrelevant because it's suppose to be a parallel time line.
They show in the movie the year is 1944 when we meet Shoshana again.
@@GreatOutdoors1 - yup, so it's not 4 years after the massacre :)
I love the fact that they had to throw in a guy being thrown from the top window screaming after the explosion. Just so looney tunes.
Really enjoyed your reaction and breakdown of the scenes.
tarantino does a subtle thing where he makes the audience question itself. nazis are bad. but are you comfortable with your bloodlust for them? let's see. he shows a nazi officer behaving honorably and bravely, he shows the brutality of the basterds by graphically showing their scalping, he shows the audience in the theater banging on the walls to get out evoking images of gas chambers, he shows the bear jew just turning hitler's face into hamburger... and the movie's asking - is this what you wanted?
like all of his films, the dialog is just crazy good.
Not that the previous stuff of yours I saw was bad but you’re really improving your videos. Good stuff
Awwwww
Gonna drop a random bit of historical fact here to complement that scene from 31:00 where the woman is explaining how to order "Three glasses" the german way.
But in my case, regarding soviet soldiers back during the second world war.
My ex-wife is russian, and she had a grandfather who used to work in a factory building parts for guns and other machinery. His name was Vitaly, and he used to tell this story where one day they caught a german spy investigating their bunkers. Same story as this movie, at first he was interrogated due to his accent, but what eventually betrayed him was the UNIFORM he was wearing.
You see, russians used buttons on their jackets and each had 4 holes, allowing for a double wrap when using a line to form a stitch. In the end, each button would display 2 vertical lines.
But the german spy had buttons with an X type of stitch instead, the kind russians never used.
And that's what got him caught.
The British spy said 3 glasses and used his index, middle and ring fingers to indicate 3. Germans use thumb index and middle so he immediately knew that he wasn’t a real german
All Europeans use the thumb as far as I know. At least, we also do it this way in France
@ I’d assume that the English don’t either. Probably where Americans got it from
@@peterc4877 Yes, true. I honestly never noticed anyone doing it without the thumb in real life. Only in American movies
Almost 100,000 subs. Keep going you’re gonna hit the stratosphere.
By the way, I was born in Heidelberg, Germany, the colonel Landa is a freak of nature
You just saw one of the peak actor performances in Mankind History from Christoph Waltz as Hans Landa
Tarantino almost didn’t make this movie because he couldn’t find a good enough actor to play Landa. When he found Waltz, and saw what he was capable of, not only did he go ahead with the movie, but he told Waltz to dial back his performance to a 5 or 6 out of 10 during rehearsals, and to only crank it up to a 10 when the cameras were rolling. This way he could capture the other actors’ genuine shock and fear when Waltz really channeled the terrifying malice of Landa!
Colette really dolled herself up for this reaction. Extra pretty.
So cool, you definitely gotta make reactions to other Tarantino movies, like hateful eight, and kill Bill, those are my favorites😊
I love this reaction keep up the good work sweetheart ❤
If you really wanna be challenged, my humble recomendations are "Oldboy" (Korea, dir: Park Chan Wook) "City of God" (Brazil dir: Fernando Meirelles) "Ran" (Japan dir: Akira Kurosawa) and "Wild Tales" (Argentine dir:Damián Szifron)
There was once a German in Nantucket, who had a.... ehhh... I'll let that one go.
You have to watch Django: Unchained next!!!
No matter the role, Christoph Waltz will deliver.
All Tarantino movies are good! Even those with minor or no credits such as True Romance Desperado El Mariachi Dusk til dawn, Death Proof, he even did an episode or 2 of Alias! His first written and directed is still my favorite. Reservoir dogs is very few sets locations, and dialogue heavy! Also churchills assistant here is Mike Myers!😮😮😮 Also the original inglorious basterds was done in the 70s. Totally different tho.
He and the producers wanted to do the movie but thought it would never happen. They couldn't find a actor fluent in English German French and at least verbal in Italian. They tried dozens of actors, all no good. In walks cristof, they run lines with him a bit. He leaves. Tarantino and the producers look at each other and say, we've got a movie! He's also excellent in Django, Alita battle angel, and a killer in a movie i think called The Consultant! Also because he uses actors over and over, Sam Jackson does some narration here, and Mr Wolf/Mr White talks to brad Pitt over the phone! The bear jew is Eli Roth a excellent horror director. Hos movie Clown, is terrifying! Pull up a short here, type in Eli Roths' Clown! Also he does something very smart here, to try snd smoke out shoshana. During the lunch scene, everything he offered her to eat and drink, is non Kosher!😮😮😮
All your fan boys giving you a pass on not knowing that the dude screaming commands, pounding his fist, and being called Mein Füher….whilst sporting a lil moustache was Hitler….You have some loyal fan boys.
😆
The scene where Hans Lands offered her cake with the cream is really important btw. Cream in that time was made with a little pig fat In it, and not kosher. So Jews wouldn’t eat it. Its an awesome detail from Quentin Tarantino
Im taking a guess here, but the ending woods scene....i would swear it's the same location that was used for the Cohen brothers, Miller's crossing!
If you want another great thriller, but in the sci-fi realm, I'd highly recommend "Sphere".
