Inglourious Basterds | Christoph Waltz's Iconic Opening Scene | Extended Preview (4K UHD)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 дек 2021
- This excruciating interrogation is said to be of Tarantino's best. The opening scene strains a slow-burning and horrifyingly intense dialogue between "Jew-Hunter" Hans Landa (Christoph Waltz) and a righteous French dairy farmer who's hiding innocent Jews under his floor boards during WWII.
Brad Pitt takes no prisoners in Quentin Tarantino’s high-octane WWII revenge fantasy Inglourious Basterds. As war rages in Europe, a Nazi-scalping squad of American soldiers, known to their enemy as “The Basterds,” is on a daring mission to take down the leaders of the Third Reich. Bursting with “action, hair-trigger suspense and a machine-gun spray of killer dialogue” (Peter Travers, Rolling Stone), Inglourious Basterds is “another Tarantino masterpiece” (Jake Hamilton, CBS-TV)!

Waltz gets much deserved credit, but with little to no words the father conveys an entire war of conscience within himself.
this movie had some serious acting in it
I completely agree. While subtle, the breadth of emotion displayed by Denis Ménochet really helps sell this scene.
Almost all the supporting actors gave really brilliant performances!
Indeed. It was a horrific betrayal what he did. He caused the deaths of a group of innocents to save himself and his family. A sad and devastating choice......I would have done the same thing.
@@nikosgreek352 as would we all.
The farmer did an amazing job too
thats what i thought when i firat watched this movie his only scene but shpwed alot of emotions from being hospitable to co operering to being scared and sad esp when he knows landa knew just by lookng at him with that stare. for his own family's sake he had no choice to give them up . the guilt too. i wonder if he is a big euro actor havent seen him at north america
Oui
@@StephanieHua yes...
@@irvinepoker3187 I had a seizure reading this
Amazing job for hiding enemy of the state? no way!
This scene is heart-wrenching, mostly because of the slaughter of the family, but very much also because of the murder of LaPedite's soul by making him choose between his family's lives and his integrity and compassion.
Correct.
LaPedite knew they would be discovered anyway, also, he pointed to the wrong place in the floorboards, so they would have a chance to escape. This is why Shoshanna was able to escape
Good comment but there was really no choice at that point. Any man, well... MOST men will give little consideration between their family and anyone else in an absolute life-or-death situation.
@@user-rm7zf4bw2b I am not sure if it's true that they would have found the family either way. You can see that the moment Lapadite breaks in tears is when Landa says "that reward will be the German army ceasing to harass your family throughout the occupation of your country". When I first watched the film, I interpreted it as though the farmer has had enough and couldn't take it anymore because the Nazis were putting him and his family at risk all the time. As in, that was the straw that broke the camel's back.
@@VlaDuZa You must have missed the part where Landa says he knows they are under the floorboards.
5:17 it's terrifying watching how subtly he drops his act and steps into his true self. All semblance of charm is wiped away by pure terror and cunning. It's a masterclass in acting.
it's incredible. When I saw it at the theater, my heart dropped when he did that.
All emotion bleeds off his face an his eyes light afire. Looks like lion thats just about to pounce on a gazelle
That was first thing I realised when I first watched. Until then , honestly , it was just boring conversation for me as I didn't even know what was happening. But that face change made me "wtf what happened his face?!"
I still can't figure out how he did it. This is top tier acting.
This shot is actually terrifying to me because there is so little actual change to his expression. It’s almost imperceptible. And yet the entire energy of the room changes and you are suddenly filled with dread.
In an interview Tarantino said that when Perrier LaPadite pulls out the pipe he wants to say "look at me I'm calm, I have nothing to hide". But when Landa pulls out the pipe he wants to say "I understood your game"
i always saw it as more of a power game, first Landa is served the milk and then Perrier LaPadite takes his normal pipe out and landa counters that with his giant pipe, it's basically there to show that Landa is the one with the power.
Fascinating analysis. It's like a poker game. LaPadite places a sizable bet by pulling out his pipe. Landa calls his bluff and moves all in with his massive pipe.
@@suckieduckie In other hands, Landa's pipe would be comical.
And then Perrier pulls out an even bigger pipe so Hans has no other choice but to pull out his saxophone and smoke that.
Xd nice one
Its the moment Landa says, "you are sheltering enemies of the state". His eyes go stone cold and his face the personification of evil. What an outstanding performance that's frightening and unforgettable all at once.
Evil? More so, determination. He knows he was right and he goes for what he believes. The reasons behind it are evil but the expression itself is Determination. He knows the farmer is hiding them, he lulled them into a false sense of security to flush them out.
Brilliant acting, he sure is one of best for such role. There are only a few movies where a scene made me feel like I am in the actual movie. This is one of them. Even after seeing this a couple of times I would watch it again without any regret.
@@Grimhorn it wasn’t evil or determination. It was clearly a look of sexual cheekiness 😂
Please explain to me what a face as in personification of evil looks like? All I see, is a straight, dominant and authorative expression, looking the other straight into his eyes, if you consider that " evil " well, you must have many problems with authorities in your life then, there is no evil expression or good expression, dogs as example, can stare down each other as well to show dominance, nothing evil about it, Landa is highly intelligent, and a Master of social interaction, as shown here, he is reading the farmer from the first moment he enters, he offers the Farmer something in exchange to betray the jewish family as well, a bargain, made from the position of established social dominance and power, the farmer does not shet tears because he is sad as of what happens to the family of jews, he cries, because he made a choice, as in, protecting his own family and making sure, they will be safe for the the rest of the occupation, in exchange for betraying and dooming another family. Also, mind you, this act was not at all necessary from Landas side, he could have just as well killed them all. Landa himself is not at all, a Nazi, he does not at all believe in their dogmas, he is employed by them, to do something he is good at.
@@1Ashram mf wrote a book
I dont like the character of Hans Landa, but I love the performance of Christoph Waltz, especially in this scene.
The worst evil is not the one coming at you with a knife but with a warm smile.
The smile of no hard feelings Im just doin my job.
his acting is casually terrifying and openly repulsive in this movie; truly an achievement for a man i can only assume is not abbarently evil to the core
More flies w/ honey. The sooner you can pinpoint how narcissists use this tactic to navigate the world, the quicker you can defend from & act against it.
Just like Creepy Joe Biden.
@@morpheus6749 just like loser donald trumpy
4:03 - No matter how suspenseful this scene is, him pulling out his ridiculous pipe will never NOT kill me! 🤣🤣💀
There's actually a reason behind him bringing out that pipe.
Apparently it's a detective's pipe, like the one Sherlock Holmes uses. Hans Landa thinks of himself as a detective and not a soldier. When Tarantino and Waltz were discussing the film scene they decided to use the pipe because it would show the audience that he thinks and acts like a detective like Sherlock Holmes rather than an army man.
@@toso69420 it's to also give a false sense of security as you think it looks silly but thats when he drops the friendly façade...
"May I smoke my trombone as well?"
There's a Freudian interpretation in there somewhere 😆
@@guilhermehank4938 I always thought the facade dropped @ 5:18...in addition to that dead-silent background...
The shift in his facial expression when he goes “you’re harboring enemies of the state are you not?” Is just so good
Landa's eyebrows slight movement to tell the cow farmer you yourself is a Rat! Quentin's story's would have gotten him executed back in the day lol
"you're housing inglorious basterds, aren't you?". Truly one of the lines of all time.
@@melontusk7358 "The name's Django. Django: Unchained."
OMG he changed his facial expression! Genius!
@@The_Fiscal_Factslmao bald.
Other than being a great movie, Christoph waltz is one the reasons I watch this movie multiple time. A One of a Kind Actor, I've never been this moved watching an actor the 1st time I've watched this.
Correct.
Waltz is a gifted performer.
Special and able in a very natural way.
He’s just as good in Django unchained as well
Either of the two actors here could have won the supporting actor Oscar. They are both superb
Exactly. However, I was equally moved by Casey Affleck in Manchester by the Sea.
Waltz is the reason I would watch this again.
One of the best scenes in cinematic history
it’s a great scene, but hands down the bar scene later in the film has it beat 🙂
@@ily____ I still give it to this scene because it was such an intense opening
This is rather the 'best *opening* in cinematic history' (alongside Saving Private Ryan's opening).
This was definitely the best scene in the movie.
@@ily____ i was saying that, the bar scene was amazing
@@JudahMaccabee_ one other opening I'd put up there is the boot camp sequence in Full Metal Jacket.
"5:18" The way Mr Waltz changes the expression of his face is brilliant
It is the exact moment his 'friendly smirk' changes into a soulpiercing stare.
@@Godl1keNL Yeah, and you can see he really didn't bumble his way into getting to the rank of Standartenführer (Colonel)....
@@Locahaskatexu wdym by bumble mate?
The other actor is amazing as well. The “jig is up” look in painfully clear.
I was looking for this comment. Crazy how impactful Waltz made a facial expression change, gives me freakin chills
The lack of music and the clock ticking in the background (to implement that time is running out) while Landa lets the facade fall, makes this scene even more intimidating. Great work ❤️❤️
Also, don't forget about the rhythmic woodchopping before Hans Landa arrives (not shown in this clip though).
U sound like my English teachet
@@jmz1312 With me coming from Germany is see this as a compliment. 😂😂
@@jmz1312 He earned an oscar for that scene. Tarantino didn't let any of the other actors see him before they act with him. He wanted Walz to actually scare them.
@@johnjacko412 that’s actually really interesting, thanks!
that change from affable to evil is incredible
I saw a change from evil + affable to evil + doing his job. When comparing a naturally instinctive aversion to rats with Jews; that's evil.
Rats scuttle on all fours while squirrels can sit on their hind legs and use their 'hands', squirrels don't spread diseases like rats do, squirrels are mostly vegetarians, rats are nocturnal critters so are active when we are asleep and most vulnerable, squirrels do most of their structural damage of our homes outside, rats do most of their damage inside. Rat waste can contaminate pantries, ruin personal property, and carry diseases, including rat-bite fever, plague, and food poisoning.
Comparing squirrels with rats is like comparing elephants with rhinos. He's just justifying the Führer's and Goebbels's "propaganda" with a false equivalency. Evil, patronising, and condescending plus the milk and pipe actions show he's not afraid to assert his 'dominance' (which is he has a whole army of murderous bastards to call upon).
Ahhhhhhh, the EVIL is there from BEFORE he arrives.....
@@JK_Clark Oh nice one, rats scuttle on all fours so kill them violently or whatever. I don’t think you’re a whole lot more valuable than a rat necessarily. As human you may in fact be much more value negative than a rat.
and his face moves maybe by a few milimeters...
@@JK_Clark Rats can also sit up and use their hands, and they are intelligent
Imagine that this guy was an obscure actor for 30 years before being discovered.
Im sure he in Germany and Austria he’s always been popular
So was Morgan Freeman, Bryan Cranston,etc
@@milesmorris1270 The most work he got was some minor TV and straight to DVD roles. He just killed the audition and was the only one who could satisfied the very specific linguistic requirements Tarrantino required for the role (fluency in German, French, Italian in English. Technically Waltz isn't fluent in Italian either, but was able to learn his lines with a decent accent to boot).
@@juanolivarez3092 yes he did slay the audition.
@@rajanlad Bryan Cranston has always had an amazing career dafuq are you talking about
Quentin Tarantino is a master of his craft. He specializes in introducing tension into seemingly boring conversations that start off on an inane subject, leading to a hail of bullets, lots of dead people and just one or two survivors.
Most of his movies have no superhero stuff, no overuse of CGI, no 'punch' dialogues, no virtue signalling with just ordinary, everyday characters who find themselves in really tough situations, having to compromise just so that they can survive, however briefly.
Very relatable, thoroughly enjoyable.
Christopher Waltz is perfect as the psychopath who gets pleasure in being the cat that plays with the 'rat' before killing it. His performance is spine chilling.
One can see the farmer's soul in his eyes. He made this terrifying scene unforgettable.
You dont like virtue signalling?
@@Laszlo_Vasko I agree with you one hundred percent.
I used the words, 'seemingly' and 'boring', because that is how anyone would think if he/she were to listen to two people talk on a subject that is of no personal relevance to him/her
Perfection
@@madingo02 nobody does except stupid twitter
I'd use the word 'banal' no boring.
The expression change between 5:18 and 5:21 is a masterpiece.
that was brilliant👌 Oscar right there 💯
Absolute masterpiece
Chills.
Christoph Waltz BARELY adjusts his facial expression at 5:17 from friendly and welcoming, to completely cold and serious. Phenomenally talented actor… such a small movement for such a huge tone change.
When Hans' faint grin turns into a glare, and he says "You're sheltering enemies of the the state, are you not?"
That change in his facial expression, you just knew he was going to start being scary serious, and the climax of the meeting was about to start.
Then the tension really starts.
Brilliant.
It took me a week to get over this movie out of my head. Tarantino is a genius
I just watched this movie, PLUS The Green Mile. I don't think I can get both films from occupying my thought anytime soon.
The father was the real actor. Being able to portray such confidence yet deep down shaking, knowing your daughters are at stake, as well as the people you’d like to protect. He did all of that with eyes and hands.
he is amazing, but completely overshadowed by Waltz, which is not surprising, his character had much more food, given the position of the whole film
"You're sheltering them underneath your floorboards, aren't you?"
**tears up quietly**
"oooOOOoohh! That's a BINGO!"
The expression on the farmer's face right before he was about to give up... looked like he'd totally died inside. What a perfection of a scene!
😢😢😢
It's funny how this movie essentially marked the new phase of Tarantinos career. Just when people didn't think he had much steam left in him,he pulled this absolute gem out.
I love how waltz shifts his charm the moment he has his prey nailed down
Good thing he followed it up with Django Unchained, a proper turd.
@@teaCupkk wtf u talkin bout, Django Unchained is also great
@@farrel_ra Bloated is not the same as great. It's arguably his worst film, and it's embarrassing. Even The Hateful Eight is better, and that's half theater - half movie.
@@teaCupkk yikes
@@teaCupkk you're crazy homes, but that's OK
Full credit also going to Denis Menochet - brilliant work from 2 exceptional actors..an Acting Masterclass.
5:18 It's the small changes in Landa's facial expression that make him utterly terrifying in this moment. The way his eyebrows shift from being raised in playful curiosity to being lowered and furrowed in accusation. His bright and charming eyes narrow into a cold glare. The small playful smirk on his lips vanishes as his jawline hardens. Every ounce of human warmth drains from his face. And you realize that all you've seen of Landa up until now has been nothing but a mask.
In this moment, the mask falls...and what lies beneath is the face of pure evil.
The actor for Mr LaPadite deserves an award too. As blood-curdling as Christopher Waltz may be throughout the entire movie, Denis Ménochet was insane as the man faced with an impossible choice between his family or his humanity. Silent tears and just a few words from a man that has been broken in a simple question.
Waltz gets much praise for this scene but the actor portraying the father also did an exceptional job!
Denis Minochet ..
The expression on his face and the look in his eyes tells his tale during the last few seconds ..
That's really good acting ..
Christoph Waltz and Ralph Fiennes make the two greatest SS officers of all time.
They were absolutely terrifiying. Astonishing actors.
Very uhh poor phrasing i must say but yeah
@@Jerry-tg7zx correct phrasing…
jewish propaganda
This scene is riveting because it feels like you’re there in the middle of that horror
The undeniable and in my opinion unavoidable guilt the farmer feels at the end when he first gulps after he tells them they will come in and search everywhere is so heavy. How could you ever live with yourself after that? To think these situations actually went down less than a 100 years ago really is chilling, humans at their evilest.
Humans always had/have this evil side, when there is no check then it comes out in the open . Just follow the sufferings of the Palestinians since the holocaust and that is being topped up by this present day massacre in Gaza and the Israelis literally posting their shameful disgusting war crimes on TikToks and Israelis behaving as present day Hans Landa .
I always loved loved that line “and if any irregularities are found, rest assured they will be”. He says it so casually and with such certainty, basically letting LaPadite know that he’s unlike the inspectors who have come before and WILL uncover whatever LaPadite is hiding. Makes resistance seem so futile and is honestly such a terrifying line to me
An absolutely chilling scene. Brilliant portrayal. The farmers reaction is heartbreaking and Mr.Waltz made me hate this character immediately. Then I saw Mr.Waltz play Dr.King in Django, and he made me love the character. A brilliant performer.
He go from the most hated to the most lovable character from a movie to other PARKOUR
That scene is extremely powerful, brilliant acting.
and writing too
Always have a double feelings with scenes like these same with the intro of gangs of new York they are so great making it impossible to surpass it later in the movie
@@petermolenaar6670 But *Inglourious Basterds* have these kinds of scenes scattered throughout the movie,
The Movie in itself being quite great as well, but this movie has at least 3 scenes - on par with the opening.
@@daredevil6145 agreed there are several scens of similar quality but my favourite has to be the opening (the baseball bat scene is a close second for me)
@@petermolenaar6670 May favorite after This scene is of course -
*The German way of Showing 3 with Fingers* scene with MIchael Fassebender [Mr. MAGNETO, lol]
And where they Play CARDS game and KING KONG TALK
Something about to Nazi uniform just makes so much sense as the uniform used by the “bad guys”.
Han’s deep understanding of its imposing nature and how to use it to help in his objective is just another reason this character is Oscar worthy.
Yeah one look at the twin lighting bolts and you already know that this is one bad dude.
Can't believe they even though columbine killers where wearing nazi jackets you see from some folk 🤦♂️
Hitler knew the power of drip
Think it was designed by Hugo Boss or other popular brand
You're Americans so it's normal to see that in your worldview. However, a German raised at the time would easily identify the good guys as being their own soldiers.
Was the Summer of '09... One of the best FILMS I ever saw in theaters. The place was packed and everyone was hanging on to each and every word (and subtitle) during this scene.
Tarantino is a talent with words.
All actors in Tarantino are extremely convincing. Part of his genius.
This is one of the most terrifying scenes ever. you can feel the fear in the farmer´s eyes and the threatening eyes in the nazi´s face. 5:16
This movie was too comical to terrify me.
You can see in his eyes how he realizes that he is about to betray the hidden family and that he will probably blame himself for this betrayal for the rest of his life.
@@ngongagozambo7410 tbf the rest of his life wasn't going to be long and he knew he was going to be killed along with the family below
@@ngongagozambo7410 didn't the farmer showed to a wrong place on the floor, so the germans didn't shoot the hiding people? I mean the farmer pointed on the totally different side of the house where no people hid
YOOOO THE TUNNELSSSS HAHAHAHA
the subtle way landa’s face drops is bone chilling. not to mention the other actor, the hopeless look in his eyes is unforgettable.
Heart wrenching 💔
This scene hittin' like crack right now...
💀💀💀
Waltz KILLED this role! Such talent in this movie!
What makes this scene so incredible is that not only does Hans Landa reference Nazi anti-semitism, he actually explains it.
Christoph Waltz is such a great actor
I am here for tunnel meme reference
This is one of the greatest openings in cinematic history .... beyond the sheer performance of both the actors its the way this scene is laid out .... when Hans Landa pulls out that Calabash Pipe to smoke its a reference to 'Sherlock holmes' that the mystery has been solved. Just brilliant screenplay.
Apart from him being a great dairy farmer that man can act, he made you feel his tormented dilemma. Scene of the century.
There are so many shining stars in this movie that the whole cast should have won an Oscar for their performances. Truly one of my favorite movies ever, and I could watch this anywhere, at home, Dr's office, on a flight and would be completely immersed in it.
The drawing of the bigger pipe really shows the tables are turned. Absolutely brilliant!
When I watched this scene, I completely got blown away by the mastery of Christoph Waltz. To be honest, I don't pay much attention to acting and don't usually notice bad/good acting. But Christoph Waltz's acting was too good not to notice.
In NYC reevently the police found hidden illegal tunnels in a synagogue
The change in his expression never fails to send chills down my spine. A masterful performance, from the farmer too.
I love this scene. Both actors are fantastic but the bit where Landa goes from happy chappy to intense and relentless hunter of humans is incredible acting and I’ve been a huge Christoph Waltz fan ever since I first saw this movie.
Watching this scene in the theaters, I had this amazing and horrible realization that I was watching something very different than what I was expecting. Then later the movie kind of turns into exactly what I was expecting. I love this film but it has some wild tonal shifts throughout and I'm still not sure if those shifts were in it's favor.
I think it works well to show the duality of the enemies. Brad Pitt's Basterds carry more of the comedy throughout the film, being the almost rag-tag bunch of lads who cut their own detail half the time simply because they can, making the best out of the (obviously) horrendous war situation. This is accented by Christoph Waltz's psycho humour as Hans Landa, more in-world self amusement as he knows almost every move that's being made - almost like he's toying with his adversaries. The different tones being given off, for me, adds another layer of character perspective to the film. I get what you mean though, it can be rather odd once or twice
That's Tarantino's style. Every movie has a shift in tone at some point.
Kill Bill and Kill Bill part 2 are so vastly different from cool revenge flick to emotional gut punch flick.
The only movie I can think of that doesn't change in tone is Jackie Brown, and it's one of his weaker entries for this very reason.
I can't understand why Universal wouldn't make a ride after this movie.
hahaha what?! WTF? XD
LMAO This deserves to be top comment, hands down. Or at the very least a tall glass of Msr. LePetite's delicious milk.
The holocoaster. Some lying yid said it already existed tho
Yes!! Experience, Interrogation, only at Universal theme parks and resorts.
Disney has it
For me this is how you act in a scene & portray a role, what a convincing performance, no wonder he deserved that Oscar he got.
5:17 the way his facial expression shifts ever so slightly, but it's so impactful
Christoph Waltz and Denis Ménoche are both remarkable here for different reasons. We often see Nazis portrayed in film as outrageously frightening caricatures - but I think Christoph more portrays something that is probably more accurate. That is, a man with great intelligence and charm, which arguably makes his evil even more terrifying and insidious. And Denis manages to do so much with so little! He barely speaks, but the subtle nuances of his facial expressions convey so much conflict, pain, and horror. This whole scene is my favourite in this film, and possibly one of my favourites of any film I've ever seen. Stunningly well-written (even for Tarantino), and remarkably acted all around. Simply superb.
Incredible acting. Christoph Waltz has a wonderful talent with villain characters where he can make you feel incredibly scared and intimated just through the slightest gestures. This is a prime example of that.
Denis Ménochet Performence is outstandig holy
The farmer is one hell of an actor, too. How accurate can you act desperation and hopelessness in a single moment?? From an emotional point of view he shines more in this scene than Waltz does.
This incredible scene could've won Waltz his well-deserved Oscar all by itself.
Point me the areas where they are digging the synagogue
He was riveting in this scene..the menace and malice in him was like something that Tolkien might describe..Diabolic, Angelic, deadly.
Christoph waltz is in my opinion the best actor in the world. He seems so calm and he can totally replicate a German ss officer. Evil, calm and that normal tone makes it even more scary.
As good as Waltz is in portraying evil, Anthony Hopkins beats him hands down.
Are you new to the world of films? So many actors are better than he.
@@ytsux9259 he said his opinion u fool...
There is too much of Austrian charming in this SS-officer. The real ones were tiring boring bureaucrats..
THE best actor is not a proper way to word here imo. Talent wise, no doubt he is undeniable. No doubt this performance is one of the greatest supporting actor performances of all time, but he has done ABSOLUTELY nothing of note for a while now. Consistency is a factor for me. So I won't say the best. The best would be Gosling, Garfield, Pattinson and Phoenix in my opinion.
One of the best scenes in modern film. Both actors played their part perfectly.
Man, Christoph Waltz…
Best character introduction ever made, prove me wrong. Brilliant acting, just brilliant.
Every scene in a Tarantino movie is like its own little mini-movie. That’s what captivates people so much: the time taken, the detail, the patience, the depth. Incredible.
Christoph Waltz is the main actor and story teller of this scene, but dont discredit the secondary actor who elevates Chrstoph’s performance.
You just did. His name is Denis Menochet.
@@1johnsonfamily 😄👍🏼
To this day Waltz performance is one of the best acting performances I've ever seen. He does get a lot of deserved credit, but even then I feel people underestimate just how brilliant an actor he is, one who stands even above most other prestigious actors.
recently, jews are recreating this wonderful scene in the NY underground..
Diamond! We've all been waiting for this!
5:07 as soon as the farmer made that face I knew it was over, he was beginning to crack because he already knew he was caught.
That moment in silence when he drops the charm, his face melts into its natural monstrous form. The cold dead eyes, the slacked jaw. Under layer after layer of facade there’s this hideous predator. Christoph Waltz is amazing.
This has to be one of the most intense,gripping opening scenes I've ever seen in a movie. Christoph Waltz played his character to a T,he was all smiles but scary as hell.
Incredible acting by Waltz. The subtle turn is absolutely fascinating, pure art. Utterly superb!
The acting from both here is UNBELIEVABLE
incroyable!
The way Hanz (Waltz) bait's The Farmer in to a fall sense of security, is a scene you can practically feel what it was like during WW2. Extremely intelligent, because he knew how it was going to play out, from the moment before he walked through the door...
The moment his face changes to full evil always feels so real
One of the best scenes in the history of cinema. No question (the full scene in its entirety, this only shows part of it)
One of the best scenes in cinematic history. It is so compelling I would challenge anyone to be able to watch this casually.
Never get bored watching this. Totally blown away with Waltz's evil acting...
This was and remains a great scene!
This is one of the few movies or shows where I'm still watching clips from it almost everyday, months after initially seeing it
5:17 the subtlety with which his facial expression switches from a friendly, charming act to his stone cold, cruel, evil self is insane. Brilliant acting.
I liked Waltz’s performance in Django, but his performance in IB is an absolute masterclass. He literally stole every single scene in which he was.
The film is a nearly perfect marriage of great acting and great screenplay: bravo QT!
Absolutely chilling when he changes his tone and stares through your soul
I don't know why, but when he said "if there are any irregularities to be found, rest assured there will be", it gives me chills.
Both are excellent actors.
Incredible... one of my favourite scenes in film...
Tarantinos dialogue is like no other
I will repeat this more times than I can comprehend, Waltz is absolutely amazing actor.
Brilliant! This shows us that murder can be tidy and very professionally carried out, death can come in the form of a smile and manners. And even has a pleasant conversation before killing. Chills.
He said he doesn't want to have anything to do with the fame surrounding his person, it's just roles that he slips into which he embodies as best he can.
He's a really humble person
I saw this movie end last year but i cannot help rewatching Christoph Waltz scenes i dont know why but his voice in this movie really makes me feel cozy and comfy inside.
Waltz is a very close friend of mine. He has worked hard, in fact we have worked hard to get him where he is. It was actually me who got him into acting. He wanted to be a car salesman, but I talked him out of it. I told him to follow his dreams.
He still thanks me to this day, and when we meet up, which is at least once a week, we have a good chat and catch up. He's a Really nice person. Very talented actor. And really humble.
Tarantino described sick germans in brilliant way, masterpiece! And Waltz performance was fantastic
5:17 onwards. How my guy’s character turns from conversational guest to hostile intruder is the reason that he’s one of the best actors around today.
Despite how amazingly tense and well acted this scene is… Landa pulling out the comically large rams horn pipe never failed to crack me up lmfao!
I watched this in the cinema when it came out. It is one of the most tense opening scenes in cinema history (that ticking of the clock in the background - time is running out!) Out of this world acting!
