NAZI TAVERN GUNFIGHT - INGLORIOUS BASTERDS - QUENTIN TARANTINO - HICOX GIVES HIMSELF AWAY
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 авг 2021
- From the Academy Award winning film, Inglorious Basterds. This is the tavern scene in which British Intel officer Hicox is to rendezvous with German spy, von Hammersmark. They are playing a game of guess the card when Gestapo Major Hellstrom decides to have a seat in the group. Hellstrom becomes suspicious of Hicox's accent and mannerisms. Hicox then asks Hellstrom to leave, but before doing so he orders a round of drinks for the group. Hellstrom notices that Hicox makes a strange hand gesture that gives away his true nationality and that Hammersmark is covering for him. Tensions reach a boiling point as Hicox and Hellstrom are pointing their guns at the other's groins. A gunfight erupts and everyone is killed except German Seargant Wilhelm.

Everyone's talking about Christoph Waltz but the acting of August Diehl in this scene is absolutely amazing.
Yes true but there are lots of cuts in this scene and in general that movie. I can imagine they played it dozens of times each sequence and picked out the best one of course. "The river derchy scene" is also full of cuts
The look he gives Fassbender then Kruger when he's puts his fingers up wrong is brilliant.....especially her being German and fucking the Nazis over.
He stole the sceene!
The acting by everyone is this scene is off the charts
Epic lines from Fassbender when he speaks in his native tongue and accent saying he may as well “Go out speaking the King’s”
"I hope you don't mind if I go out speaking the king's". Always loved Tarantino's dialogue
by all means Captain
That's exactly what I keep saying. Nobody writes dialogue like Tarantino!
what's the meaning behind that line ??
@@sunnyboy8644 British people call their language the Kings/Queens English so he’s basically saying if I’m going to die I’m going to in my native tongue.
@@charlie7329 i see.
As a german, I really appreciate this scene because they all speak authentic german. It's not some exaggerated "movie-german". Obviously the actors are native speakers, but still. It just adds that extra level of immersion. Same for the italian and french scenes in this movie actually.

Yea tarantino is a perfectionist. The movie altogether was never going to happen had he not found "the one" to play Hans Landa.
It’s interesting too that even though I speak relatively little German, I could also tell that the accent of Michael’s character was off (totally sounds like a Brit speaking German).
Michael Fassbender is not native. His father is German and his mother Irish. Michael grew up in Ireland and London. He has a very obvious accent when speaking German.
As a German watching this movie for the first time it was pretty incredible to see a scene where German was spoken for such an extended period of time
And we'll spoken it was.
@@tarmbruster1of course... german actors!
@gigachadsbigbrother92 in the movie, the British Captain was said to have a rather flat dialect. No one could figure out where he was from. Actually, he could have made out quite well in Berlin...

I remember watching this scene in theaters and the moment he held up his three fingers there was long silence among the audience and after a few seconds people started to murmur and whisper in their seats. When he finally pulled the gun, the whole audience gasped and fell silent up until the shootout. 10/10 experience.

I like how he's like "you're gonna walk out of here with us" and the other guy decides "no, everyone here is gonna die, is the plan" and there's no debate
Best move, kill the spy and happen to die as well but did stop youre people from being taken advatage of. Even if on wrong side still honorable.
i think it's just coincidence because 4 could give him out just as much as 3 edit: did the commenter just edited his comment after my reply because now my reply looks like nonesense lol
Well, he can't peacefully go with them because they'd kill him and get away, and they can't force him to leave with them because he'd resist, shoot and get everyone else involvled, so it's not like they had any alternatives
PrideO'ukraine as einstein would say vicey versa
Goddamn. That was sick!
3:54 the look in his face and twitch in the eye when he realised he's going to be dead in seconds. Brutal. Imagine planning your life and future and suddenly you get the message that you are dying the next minute. Crushing indeed.
3:42 was gangster. Kill and be killed.
The greatest acting in any Tarantino film. The eyes Fassbender gives at the realization of his impending death is beautiful; and he goes out as the cheery yet stoic British gentleman he plays. Oscar worthy. The German actor hits a homerun, as he goes toe-to-toe w MF and his eyes, too, at the "give away" nails the moment. Subtlety at its finest. Everyone at the spy table brings their A game.
August Diehl was brilliant in this scene.
Yeah, if you notice the slight double blink from Fassbender at 3:58 ... In body language that generally signifies anxiety or sudden nerves. That coupled with the concerned look in his eyes, realizing he will never see his loved ones again. Fuck i love this movie.
briish
The way August Diehl takes the calming deep breath after he confirmed his hunch is such great acting
Right! It’s great how you try and focus on the captain but it’s the major you need to watch to see that breath and be like “oh shit, wait a sec he got em!” It changed the tune real quick lol
@@alexblack6421 He realize that even he is not walking out of the pub alive given his distance with Hugo Stiglitz.
The way he smile, he’s the same I used to smile when a situation was getting awkward
The term Nazis is used to whitewash the Germans. That are Germans and that's why the title should be GERMAN TAVERN GUNFIGHT.
who Says Classical Acting Language Pronounciations have 0:28 to be UKukrainian Classy Royale , Everybody Knows German is Just As Persuasive & Sophisticated as UKukraine Language of FrillyPirate Toilet Paper Sales ; just Ask Putin who's Fluent in German not english
1:33 I always look at the major's eyes... Realization, denial, frustration, fury, acceptance... one of my favorite moments of acting in any movie
Also, a split second after Hicox shows his fingers and a split second before the camera cuts to the Major, Fraulein von Hammersmark's reaction
3:58 you can also see the eyes capture the sad realization that he is going to die.
you can also tell fraulein knew the second he put 3 fingers up, they were FUCKED
You don’t see five emotions, you see two. The realization, and the “I’m gunna gut him”.
Can someone explain why the 3 fingers was a fuck up. Did Germans not do that?
I love how at 1:35 he's eyeing him as he's looking away and then shifts his eyes when he looks back at him. Brilliant acting.
Yes! The shit goes beyond acting if you ask me. Such real life situations
1:46 I love how the Gestapo Major looks at Von Hammersmark with that sly little smirk, like _"I know you saw that too, I'm onto you."_
It's quite interesting to watch the SS officer after he sees the brit give himself away. He has a short emotional journey as he seems to work through the reality of the situation and the liklihood he's about to die. A nervous awareness creeps in and then the small exhalation as he comes to grips with it and prepares himself.
Nice bit of acting.
And well done of Tarantino for not making the SS officer a fearless and unemotional cartoonish villain but still having him behave as an actual human being in the moments before he launches into a life-threatening situation.
So does the Scotsman at 3:56
@@justinv6410 Hicox is most likely an Englishman. His accent is definitely a well-to-do 'English English' accent rather than a Scots English one.
Agree. This scene and the opening are my favorite parts of the movie. I've seen them multiple times.
Who wouldn't have met such fate if he hadn't so overt about his suspicion
Gestatpolizei officer or short - Gestapo. Not SS this one. But yes, exellent acting !
5 minutes and 12 seconds of tension building for a final brutal 20 second scene, marvelous!

August Diehl went from convincingly portraying a Nazi in this movie to expertly playing an anti-Nazi pacifist in A Hidden Life. Amazing actor.
So that's where I have seen him. 😅. I was wondering why he looked so familiar
You can feel the emotions of the main characters. The slow exhalation of a Nazi is like the realization that he has made a decision. The look of an Englishman after the words of a German officer that no matter what happens, THEY will BOTH stay here. A masterpiece scene! Tarantino knows how to create the "calm before the storm" Bravo, maestro!
It’s amazing too how you can look at Hellstrom after he sees the three fingers and watch him go from realising that he was right, to realising that he’s dying in the bar, to deciding that if he’s going down then he’s going down fighting.
Why didnt thr german officer nust leave without telling them , they gave themselves away😮
@@spellsword_fn6799 probably cause of Tarantino. He shows that nazi are not stupid, they are brave and that they can die for what believes . Also it would be funny. If he left them alone the movie was lost so powerful scene
3:42 was gangster. Kill and be killed.
@@spellsword_fn6799 1. They could have vanished by the time he came back with reinforcement. 2. Because he's about that fucking life. He could certainly have pretended to not notice and slither away calmly without making a scene to then come back with a squad of soldier to clean the place of the spies. But he's not a rat or a snake, you have to understand that these nazis saw themselves as lions and eagles instead. So it would have been the dishonorable thing to do and would have tainted his flawless victory in his mind. He was willing and ready to instead make a last stand and die for his cause, rather than dishonor himself and feel like a coward for the rest of his life.
When I first saw this movie I had no idea the British spy gave himself away by the way he signaled 3 with his hand. The SS officer was so subtle in his reaction I had no idea he knew until he said the British spy had given himself away. Truly masterful acting.
How did the 3 give it away?
@@yooginava1828 Germans tend to count from one starting with their thumb whereas the Brits count starting with their pointer as one and their thumb as five... 👍
@@marko247 AHhhh that makes this even better
In June 1981, when I first arrived in Germany, one of the first things I learned was the thumb, not the index finger, signifies "one (ein)" and the index signifies "two (zwei)". Secondly, the letter "ß" is not a "b" but a "double 's'" found in such words as "straße (street)", "gruß gott (good day)", and "tchuß (goodbye)". Lastly, when walking into a structure that has two or more floors, the ground floor is the "Erdgeschoß (ground floor)" and the FIRST floor is the next floor up.
Nur ein wenig "Deutsche Trivia", was absolut nichts bedeutet.
The first clue the SS officer picked up was of course the accent. The second one was the Captain answering the 10th question of the game which Germans know you aren't supposed to answer. The Captain trying to escape the situation by accusing him of intrusion must've also played a role. The three fingers was just the final nail in the coffin.
This German actor is absolutely incredible in this scene. Such tremendous nuance.

@@olegdc40Someone actually tried to adapt "Master & Margherita"? Is it any good? That book seems almost unadaptable, but Cronenberg managed to make "Naked Lunch" and more recently Villeneuve made two "Dune" films, so I guess anything is possible!

"By all means, captain."
I get chills when he says that.
absolutely love the split second they show Bridget's reaction to the three fingers. it wasn't enough to give anything away on first watch, but upon rewatching it adds so much more tension to the scene knowing that she already knew the gig was up.
Interesting take, I've seen this scene a million times but never noticed any reaction from her
@@Subsbenchyeah me either and then I looked closely and you can clearly see here eyes widen and her jaw clinch
@@Subsbench Even the other guys sitting at the table too. The two other men at the table both give each other a look because they also know the jig is up right after he makes the hand gesture.
Yeah that's so good! Then when you see her again, you notice how uncomfortable she is. Nice catch!
No one creates such marvelous scenes as Tarantino. Tension, suspense, release, mayhem. I can’t think of the last director I had such a huge passion for their films as much as I do Quentin.
Other eligible directors IMO: Hitchcock, Spielberg, Ridley Scott.
Too bad this otherwise genius movie has a crater-sized gaping hole in the form of, “A jewish revenge fantasy starring an SS Jew Hunter-turned-turncoat-to-the-Nazis, but not even a MENTION of Himmler?!”
So nothing for Christopher Nolan?
🤣🤣🤣
I call it "mood".
Tension and suspense require an engrossing story, which this and most of his films lack.
He is a master of mood, however.
One of the best scenes Tarantino has directed. Just perfect

His face gets me everytime istg. Bros like “🙄I know he did not just put that gun where I think he did.”
I love how the color completely goes out of Hicox's face and his cocky expression changes when he realizes that Kriminaldirektor Hellstrom is far more willing than him to die for his beliefs and that there is absolutely no way out of the situation. He handled it like a man and a true warrior, but you could see the initial wave of fear come over him when he was told that neither of them are leaving that table alive. Great acting on both their parts.

I used to question why did it take almost 3 weeks to film this scene. But the acting, dialogue, linguistics, facial expressions, timing, all really took that long for this beautiful scene
"No,no ,no, no, no. I dont think so" damn! He's made his mind up that he'd rather die than surrender.
He would die anyway, keeping him alive was too risky and they had orders to kill everyone who knew if they were compromised, no vitnesses, he basically decided that if he is going to die then others are going down with him.
Throughout this movie pretty much all the characters who get screen time are written very well, with the high ranking Germans all showing they'd rather die with their pride than surrender, and they're not generic morons like 99% of movies. It makes scenes like these that much more intense when you never know who's going to out wit who
I'm not supporting the Germans during WW2 obviously... but I feel the need to make that clear these days

August Diehl who plays Hellstrom is just an amazing actor. His face when he approves the bottle of scotch and his face when he says 'wie traurig' or whatever scares me to the depths of my soul. That is right up there with the likes of Pacino and de Niro as far as I'm concerned.

You're right. I just wish the cam hadn't cut away so soon. She's so nervous from that point on.

A perfect sequence in everything. Among the many details there is one that I find brilliant: at minute 0:25, when the situation begins to tense more and more, there is the look of Eric the bartender. He passes from the book to the officers' table by drawing an arch that goes right up to the camera, reaching the audience's point of view. In addition to defining the space of impending collateral damage, he completely imprisons you in the scene.
What
a
masterpiece.
The best scene in this movie. Probably one of the best scenes in the history of the movie industry. The location, actors, dialogue. 10/10.
Every Tarantino film has That Scene, where everything goes from zero to a hundred in the blink of an eye.
This is That Scene.
From the beginning til end ,the scene was so great that the actors blend on it. They're born for this scene all of them.
Capturing the look of impending doom..Christoph offers a true masterclass in acting..As does August..He isn't going anywhere..Brilliant scene..
One of the best scenes in cinematic history.
And in literally 1 second he blows the entire mission dooming them all........crazy how fast a situation can go to shit.

@@mistahcow you can bearly hear it .. But yes ..
Tarantino truly loves Spaghetti Westerns. Even in a historical war drama, he manages in this scene to re-envision iconic themes such as the old west saloons and of course the Mexican stand-off.
When Tarantino makes a movie it feels like a classic from decades ago.
The disappointed look he gives the liquor after realizing they are spies is fucking gorgeous.
He's like "the one time I try to be the nice guy and this is what happens." lol
Out of an entire film of great scenes and phenomenal acting, this one might be my favorite. The tension builds through the dialogue then, bam! About 10 seconds of shooting. Brilliant. How this didn’t win best picture is a crime.
This movie was a little too goofy.
Can you explain why holding up a three was a give away? Did Germans not do that?
@@grantga01
Germans and those of the European continent, count by starting with their thumb, followed by the index, middle, ring and lastly, the pinkie finger.
Americans and those of the America's, tend to start off counting with their index, followed by the middle, ring, pinkie and lastly, the thumb digit.
So when he gestered for the 3 shot glasses by displaying his index, middle and ring fingers, it was a dead giveaway that he was not a German, but an American which was infiltrating, and it solidified and confirmed his inkling.
It is a well-known cultural difference between nationalities for eons.
At 1:34 immediately after his gesture, notice the shocked eye widening of Fräulein Bridget von Hammersmark? It is a fraction of a second before the camera switches to another shot. But in that fraction of view, you can see her eyes widen for she catches his slip as well. Then, her guilty smirk and wary body language from 1:53 to 1:56. Plus, the Majors exhale at 1:57 following his moment of clarity that things are about to get violent in which he may meet his end.
There are just so many little body languages in this movie which give more context to a scene than the actors themselves verbally speaking. This is another example of just absolutely phenomenal direction by Tarantino, and the professionalism by these actors to pulloff such great and natural reactions of tell-tale signs of human behavior.
I love to truly watch movies with an in depth keen viewing of attention for these types of subtle actions. It's what makes an exceptional movie in comparison to just a good movie!
I tried to explain it as thoroughly as possible. Hope that helps a bit, Grant GA.
@@user-xi9oe8yw6v You're mostly right but Hicox was a British spy, not an American. 👍

Thank you for that!
It's been some years since I've seen the film, so I've forgotten his nationality. Though the hand gesture for Brits and Americans are the same, even having Britain being in the same continent as Germany. The two countries still share some similarities even to this day being both English nations.

This is one of my favourite scenes in cinema. I hate reading subtitles, but Tarentino did a masterful job with the dialogue here.

I usually hate reading subtitles but not in this film.
3:32 i love hugo’s little laugh here idk why but it’s so funny
1:45 also hellstrom’s shit eating grin lol
i replay that part at least 3 times every time i watch this scene the delivery is so good
Fassbender never gets enough credit for his great performance in this film because August Diehl and Christopher Waltz were so incredible.
I only noticed it quite recently but at 1:34 you can see von Hammersmark showing a shocked expression for one "blink and you'll miss it" frame upon seeing the three fingers being raised up. I swear, I see new details every time I'm rewatching this scene. Great fucking movie.
Bro, did you watch the whole movie? It was the 3 fingers that gave him away. A few scenes later that's revealed.
@@cluman1 I wasn’t talking about the big reveal, I was talking about her reaction. The big reveal was later explained in the movie when Lt. Raine interrogated her.
I’m 100% sure you didn’t catch her pupils dilating nor that she pulled her back slightly upon seeing those three fingers the first time. If so, then I guess you have an incredibly acute observation. This is a Tarantino movie, after all. It’s full of moments like this.
@@cluman1 and this scene shows that she knew he blew his cover the same time the major did, not after
Holy shit, your right. It’s very subtle but it’s there.
I think it's universally agreed upon that Pulp is an all time great movie but this Tarantino masterpiece is right there with it. I think these 2 movies are 1A/1B.
The way August Diehl enters the scene with the cut of the record and his announcement is just brilliant along with the rest of his performance. Outstanding movie and one of my QT faves.
MIGHT I ENQUIRE!
The extremely subtle details absolutely makes this scene incredible. Tarantino is a genius...
You can actually see the wound from the gunshot Van Hammersmark takes in the leg as shots are fired and she falls to the floor. Masterclass.
Tarantino is the only director that would've had the only war scene in his war movie to take place inside a bar.
Major Hellstrom was my absolute favourite character in this film. August Diehl did an amazing job
Mich auch
The switch to English from the major in saying “by all means captain” is just so chilling!
One of my favorite Tarantino movies. The dialogue and acting throughout the movie is top tier
People are amazed at the actors in this movie but the real magic is Quentin Tarantino.. not only did he put this cast together , he got 110% performance out of each actor and the way he processed the story just blows my mind hence making nearly every scene in the movie an epic one

Tarantino's movies, where the build-up through dialogues is so intense, the gun fire and violence which follows releases the pressure.
I can watch this scene 1000 times in a day without getting bored
the wildest thing about this scene:
my father's father was a spy in the cold war, stationed in germany. I was raised on stories of him specifically having to learn to count off of his thumb, rather than his forefinger, in order to avoid giving himself away. this scene hit WAY too close to home lmao
Sure he did.
Fathers father = grandpa. Why not just say that?
Continental Europe vs UK
I am from Serbia for example and nobody shows 3 like Brits do
We use German method
@@kostam.1113 Like hell nobody does. I am your neighbor and that is exactly how we gesture three here, which is logically next to the "V" for two. Four is all fingers up and the thumb comes into play only when five is concerned. We even have and euphemism for "the bird" - three with a strong middle dominance.
@@Olluwaaa perhaps OP has learned of these stories via his father, rather a than a direct relationship with this grandfather - since as you suggest, fathers father can be an unusually distant way to phrase it
That Michael Fassbender's glaze from the minute 03:57 and on is, perhaps, my favorite of all time in movies.
From disbelief to death acceptance in such a style...that's how it's done.
This movie has one of the best cast and brilliant story writing I’ve ever seen
Am I the only one who feels sorry for the waitress? She literally didn't do anything wrong! 😢
She was dumb enough to not hit the deck when the shooting started. She just stood up like an idiot.
She could have "go to the bathroom" or anything else, an avoid dying. She is responsible for her death.

Hang out with Nazis…..
Great scene, great acting and great movie. The opening scene, the German soldier not giving up information in the face of death and this scene are some of the best in movie history.
However, the Major not calmly walking away and getting the others soldiers ready to fight or at least leaving and getting a whole platoon to corner his adversaries seemed like the bravest, but stupidest thing he could have done.
I'm glad someone admitted to some weakness in the roles, after all the praise everyone here is giving everyone in the movie.
He had two guns aimed at his balls.
He wasn't thinking rationally and his adrenaline levels were 110%
The bartender also saw what was going on and instead of leaving the place with his daughter he decided to stay in the shootout in a crammed bar with a shotgun that could possibly hit back on him by all the projectiles
I keep coming back to this video. My absolute favorite scene in the whole movie. The suspense, humor and shear badassery is Tarantino at his best.
- Not to forget August Diehl totally stole the scene with his stellar and by now, iconic performance.
Taratino's greatest film! The infactuating good looks and brilliant performances from Melanie Laurent and Diane Kruger still stand out for me!
Because you know a masterpiece like this is worthy of good acting. You know that you producing something amazing and timeless. Your going to be invested in it, The tension is off the charts. The whole film is a masterpiece.
Tarantino's finest work I reckon, and I know everybody is going to say Pulp Fiction. But I reckon its even more than that
I’m Polish and all of us Poles count the same way, starting from thumb. I’ve always thought it’s somewhat a universal way of counting until I saw this movie. A very interesting little detail

There still could have been a way out. He could have said his mother was English, his father- a German and his father remarried so he had to stay with his mother in England. When he was old enough he emigrated to Germany and was reunited with his father. There were tons of people from the Baltic republics, people of German descent, who were moving to Germany. Why not somebody from England?
This scene was excellent. Adding to the awesome scenes in older movie classics.
I was just thinking that watching the German spraying with his Schmeiser
Aaaaargh the guy had everything perfect but the finger count! What a great subtle detail on Tarantino’s part, truly a master of his craft with this one.
Hicox realized what he did as soon as he puts his 3 fingers down and looks down with a long blink. I really like how Fassbender acted this scene and emphasized the act of realizing a major mistake in displaying the British 3 fingers, not just with Hellstrom as the main focus, finally confirming his suspicions.
So many moments in this film were so well acted, never mind masterly written. True masterpiece. The fan theory behind this whole scene is insane too and make so much sense. Tarantino is a genious.
What is the fan theory?
"Say aufweiderzain to your Nazi balls." Makes me laugh every time.
No matter how many times I watched this scene, I still never got the picture of whom shooting whom. My brain is still too slow for the situation, I only got the last guy shooting everyone.

The following people are involved in the shoot out: Bridget Von Hammersmark, Hugo Stiglitz, Wilhelm Wicki, Archie Hicox, Major Hellstrom, Wilhelm, the German soldiers identified by their game cards on their foreheads; Winnetou, Mata Hari, Edgar Wallace, Beethoven (Female Soldier), Eric the Bartender, and Eric's daughter Mathilda the waitress. Things are very confusing given that the events of the main shootout all happen in under 35 seconds:
1. Stiglitz starts things off by telling Hellstrom to say "auf Wiedersehen" to his Nazi balls, then shoots him in his groin.
2. Hellstrom then shoots Hicox in turn and hits Bridget in the leg, who falls backward in her chair, while Hicox falls backward and returns fire at Hellstrom.
3. Stiglitz then stands up and repeatedly stabs Hellstrom in the back of the head, pinning his head to the table.
4. Wicki stands up and shoots Winnetou in the back at least twice.
5. Beethoven shoots Stiglitz in the back.
6. Mata Hari shoots Wicki in the stomach.
7. Stiglitz turns and shoots Beethoven four times in the torso and then also shoots Edgar Wallace in the heart, killing them both.
8. Wicki shoots Mata Hari in the heart.
9. Eric shoots Stiglitz with a double-barreled shotgun, killing him. (Note: this is the only shot that isn't definitive as there is an extreme close-up of Eric while he takes aim, but when there is a wide shot of him, he appears to be aiming in Stiglitz' direction. It was theorized he was shooting at the Germans, but Wicki wouldn't have shot him if that was so).
10. Wicki shoots Eric in the head.
11. Wilhelm blindly guns down Wicki and Mathilda with his MP40 submachine gun. (The way the final shot is filmed, it's possible Wilhelm also shot Mata Hari in the back, or it could have just been editing of Wicki finishing him off.)
12. After Wilhelm agrees to surrender to the Basterds, Bridget retrieves Hicox's pistol and fires four shots at Wilhelm, hitting him at least twice in the chest, killing him.

I love the way the tension builds…..
One of my all time favorite film scenes. You can cut the tension with a knife. The dialogue is brilliant. 👍👍🔥🔥🔥
Classic Tarantino, one moment two people are having a normal conversation and just a scene later some of the main characters die in the matter of seconds.
This is my favorite scene in Inglorious Basterds. I love the acting of Diane, Michael, August, and Til and how they all gelled in this scene.
3:58 I love the detail how Michael's eyes startled and realized his bluff is not working and realize, I'm going to die now. His eyes so clear he kinda scared. Damn, Michael's acting so good 🙃🙃
