Waltz is Austrian, German is his native language, French also is used language in part of Austria and Switzerland, English is basic language for people today and much easier to learn imho than German and probably very easy to learn for German native speaker. Italian also isn't hard to learn and is also used in some part of Austria. besides German language he is speaking is Hochdeutsch, official language in Germany, Germans have many other regional dialects which are so different so they're like another languages hard even for Germans from other parts of the counry.
@@MichalBreslau Christoph Waltz ist both, german and austrian. His father was german and his mother austrian. He became the german citizenship by birth . After the oscar in 2010 he received also the Austrian citizenship
I do love the way Landa arrives. The soldier to the right of Shosanna is very uncaring of his surroundings and does not necessarily treat Goebbels, Hitler’s right hand man, with much respect but as soon as Landa arrives he stands to attention as if he had been training his whole life for that specific moment. Truly amazing.
That's cause unlike the living zombie man Landa was an actual military officer and he HAS to stand at attention for him or get shot or whatever Nazis did to insubordinate soldiers

If you ever wonder why all of the sounds so prominent or clear or crisp, from him putting sugar in his coffee to the sound of the fork on the plate, or why its unnerving, its because in a state of anxiety or fear, the adrenaline in your body makes you notice sights and sounds more intensely. In using sound in the manner he does, QT literally puts you in Shoshanna's fear and anxiety riddled seat.
Agreed but it also heaaavvvillllyyy has to do with the foley and sound design. That wasn’t by accident. They really intensified the sounds in this movie from wood creaking, to the sugar, milk pouring etc
@@andydrew3320 I think the point is the sound design was used to induce the effect normally resulting from the kind of fear and anxiety someone in jeopardy of their life would feel. It is brilliant sound engineering to achieve an effect that would normally take a pulse pounding load of adrenaline to induce.
Fun Fact: not only it was him ordering the milk, it was the fact he insisted for her to wait for the cream. It was WW2 so due to shortage of supplies, pastries were made with pig fat. Consuming milk or cream is against her religion. Hans pretty much made sure to terrorize her in every way he could in a situation like that (in a restaurant). And he made sure to let her know that he knew... he just didn't care enough to finish the job; but leaving her with an always present insecurity and unsteadyness of him being around and knowing her, was enough torment for her.
One part I love about this scene is when Landa asks Shoshanna about her projectionist at 4:30, it's the only part of the interrogation in which Shoshanna answers more than what was directly asked. After responding "Oui" to his initial yes/no question, she proceeds to describes who Marcel is, his name, how she came to know him, etc. without being prompted by further questions. Even in as stressful of a situation as she was in, you can clearly see her admiration for Marcel, which outweighed her anxiety and she speaks more freely for a moment.
It’s common in interrogations for people to indulge information about something that is true in order to build their credibility while keeping it short/vague when they are lying to hide the lie. She spoke freely about marcel bc it wasn’t seen as a threatening line of questioning.
I'm almost positive that ordering the glass of milk, and the moment later on when he says _"I had something else I wanted to ask you..._ [silence] _...but I can't remember what it was!"_ are his way of telling her _"I know who you are, Shoshana. But I no longer care about it."_
Good observation. Because he definitely knows who she is. As a matter of fact he needs her for his own purpose, as laid out in the end of the movie. I also think the cigarette offering and the stare was to see if she was nervous and/or trembling.
I believe this too however I also believe him not outright saying it was him getting a kick out of having fun and agonizing her a bit. The stare felt like confirmation of that. It also was as if letting her know she couldn't get away and in the end he won by cornering her. Her escaping and life was so inconsequential and more like a game to him that he didn't need to do anything further. She couldve easily been arrested or killed if he cared right there and then
As someone who was born in the same city as Goebbels, I am amazed how much they nailed his accent. The level of detail even for minor roles is astounding and one of the reasons why I love Tarantino's movies.
it's a German expression = "Da sind Sie ja!, meaning = There you are!, Like "Oh Landa there you are!" "Aaa Landa Da sind Sie ja!" - I don't know why the Germans say it. They use it very often when somebody arrived, but you waited for him a little bit longer then usual.
The german language has many words with multiple meanings for example the word „auf“ can mean up,open or let‘s go. It depends upon circumstances in wich it‘s being used
This is literally my favourite dialogue scene of any movie ever. The fact that they speak German and French during the whole scene so that you pay attention (if you don't speak German and French) and the way Landa came in so unexpectedly is just beautifully crafted by QT. You can literally feel Shosanna's terror the whole way through.
Honestly if you speak both you still have to pay attention my brain does fucking backflips when I watch movies with more than two languages if I can understand them.
@@toffeelatte6042 not really doing back flips if you're fluent enough. For example, since I'm Indian(and have been constantly exposed to more than one language since childhood), I can understand when people switch between multiple languages while speaking(including English).

He was one of those villains that made your stomach uneasy every time he was on screen. He was that good. He sucked the air out of any room he walked into!
Melanie Laurent looks average when sitting next to Christoph Waltz(or anyone else in the movie tbh, not just her), but she is also a pretty phenomenal actor herself.
Everything he does here has a purpose. Waits for the cream, gives her a glass of milk, orders the strudel all is a play on a board. Jesus this movie is brilliant
It's from the horror film, the Entity. The ghost in the movie rapes the main character to it. It's a little bit more horrific, but in this it works to show Shoshana's terror pretty well. As for the film itself, it's a pretty decent watch.
Waltz steals the scene every time, but Laurent gets major props, too. Her anguish of reliving the slaying of her entire family and the hatred she has for the evil man sitting in front of her pierces my soul in this scene.
@@lostintime519 Don't neglect his charisma. People literally came to his speeches just to see why everyone speaks about new Nazi party and left them being hardcore Nazi themselves. Just listen to his or Lenin's speeches - even not knowing langauge, their voices are magnetizing.
@@lostintime519 don’t be a fool. If a public speaker has no charisma, they have no hope of appealing to the masses. Hitler must have had great charisma
@@orangewarm1 Yes, in a way, almost everything is. But that’s not what counts. Tarantino manages to make movies that go above normal pieces that thrill and entertain. His movies are enchanting, they are funny, witty, at the same time filled with incredible darkness. Look at Landa: He’s one of the worst people in the movie, in the beginning he sentenced a family to die after breaking a French farmer, and yet, he plays his part so charismatically and with such grace that one cannot help but somehow like him. This is what makes a good Tarantino picture better than the rest of Hollywood. You can see Tarantino’s genius in the failure of the villains in the marvel movies: Look at Loki, look at Ultron, look at… That blue dude (Thanos I think?). All of them carry incredible power, way more than Lands could ever dream of having, and yet, are they scary? Does Loki scare you? Does Ultron? How about Thanos? They’re poorly written comic villains who serve as comedic relief and mcguffins to further the plot. To excuse the wanton destruction the Avengers subject the world to all the time. It’s bad writing.
My favorite scene in the movie also one of the best scenes ever. The thumping of the music the moment Landa is announce is Genius,it makes the audience feel the trepidation shoshana feels. Christophe Waltz is a legend.
Kobbe Exactly, the fear that he suspects who she really is, plus she may not even like milk (many people don't, or are lactose-intolerant) -- but she's too afraid of him to reject it.
Sharky165 no dude, it's not because she does not like the milk. In the opening scene shousana together with her family was hiding in a dairy farm that only produces milk... Hence the face
Lol lactose intolerant? The reason he orders milk is to figure out whether she is jewish or not. He also insists on waiting for the cream. Basically he is testing whether she would break Kosher
Tarantino is a genius. The closeups of food is one of his trademarks. The hamburger scene in Pulp Fiction is echoed by this strudel scene. Wonderful stuff.
0:02 the way Hellstorm salutes immediately makes this scene inceribly strong I mean Hellstorm was a real alpha and even he gives high respect for Landa
@@billoddy5637 the only person who isn't actually German in this scene is the lady playing shoshana, so you're full of shit about the accents being wrong.
I may be totally overthinking this, but I like Shosanna's subtle widening of the eyes at 3:46 after her first taste of the strudel. It's as if despite the fear and anxiety she's feeling at the time, she's still able to appreciate how surprisingly good the strudel is!
U can feel the intensity of the Evil energy enter the room when landa came inside, omg the guitar riff completely captures it immensely. Such a powerful scene and also captures Emmanuels emotions of rage, vengeance but most of all FEAR.
I think this scene was designed for viewers to be on the fence about it all. He could have known but maybe not. I think he knew. I just think it humored him to let her live seeing as how he could have killed her twice but he decides not to as if she's his little experiment. "How far can she make it in this world if I spare her?" I think he was impressed with how successful she became so he spares her again.
Each moment every frame of this clip is an acting, editing, sound engineering and direction masterclass. Watching it for may be the 100th time, and still my eyes are glued to the screen. Masterpiece is the word!!
0:51-1:10 That subtle but desperate look of fear & hope on the face of Emmanuelle looking towards the private hoping for a rescue from the interrogation of Hans Landa.. brilliant.
the music when Landa enters the room is PERFECT. it really fits SO well!! i can remember several times in my life where something gave me so much instant fear/anxiety, and this music feels just like that. it's like when your heart beats so strongly you can feel it in your entire body, and you feel light-headed.
One thing I love about this scene is the way Landa says “est c’est vrai?” at 4:34 with that scandalous little smile, like he’s a young woman discussing the latest salacious gossip.
she cant even act to save her life ...she can atleast act pretending to be happy discussing thing with landa...she literally has hai landa its me Shoshanna and im scared as fuck written all over her face....
Ironic how in Django Unchained he played the "enlightened" Dr King Schultz, also a German, the most unracist individual movie cinema has ever portrayed
A smart, cold and calculating character like him might not even bought into the nazi propaganda, but is just hunting jews for his own gain and not because he's antisemitic. Also because he's easily willing to fry German high command for his own gain
her holding her self together in front of the man responsible for the brutal murder of her family right till the end of his departure and then breaking down is impressive. the entire scene is great , from the start of the announcement of Hans Landa is here to her sobbing quietly.
My favourite scene in the movie. I love the cat and mouse game going on and how Shoshanna is able to keep the mother of all game faces even when Hans plays his hand and orders her the glass of milk.
"May I call you Emmanuelle?" - Even this little piece of dialogue shows how truly multidismensional this scene is. Add the fact that he ordered milk for her, it shows us he knows perfectly well who she is. He is playing his ultimate dominance card by showing her that despite the fact, that he knows, he's not affraid of her in any way and in a sense she lives by his mercy.
Notice how he takes a moment to look at her after her response, same as he did with the cream, which the french waiter oh so bravely served less of to the occupator.
@@Proxym Was the farmer the father? If I remember correctly the guy was hiding a jew family but he wasn't a jew himself, we are introduced to the farmer's daughters in that very scene, Shoshana wasn't one of them, she was hiding under the floorboards with the other jews, her family
Everything about Landa is amazing. Even the way he wipes off the table, scoops the sugar, stirs the espresso, it all stands out. Such a great character
Agreed. Part of what makes him a great character are the little things. Very subtle, just as the way he put his hand on Shoshanna's shoulder to keep her down: he doesn't apply any pressure, just holds it still until she applies pressure herself by standing up and realize what's going on. Then, he briefly but firmly sits her back down before gently caressing her shoulder with his fingers; his way of saying: "There, there. Stay sited a little longer." Pure genius!
And for good reason, QT was about to give up on trying to find an actor who could speak English, German, French and Italian when Christopher quite literally Waltzed in... Haha
Brad pitt, oddly, had the worst performance in the cast. This movie made me realize that brad pitt is a mediocre actor. I mean his performance in se7en is quite complex for me. I don’t know if he really nailed it or not especially that “what’s in the box” part. I dont clearly know if it is good or bad but his performance here? Very clear…. Quite bad.
This scene is Tarantino's Brilliance in a nutshell. The layers of drama hidden behind placid faces, the heightened and unbearable tension highlighted by every sound made being more acute and the subtle and unmistakable way he lets you know that Landa knows everything when he orders her a glass of milk. Compound that with the soulless face of his when he says he has one last question for her. He doesn't have a question because he knows the answer. Just brilliant filmmaking.
Kjwkjw I have a idea that he realised what letting the fuhre and goebells go into the theatre could do for him, (which was the last scene) so he decided not to blow shoshannes cover and let her take in the nazis into her theatre and then him guessing that she’s gunna do something to kill them like set it on fire as she did.
He definitely hasn't forgotten. He's just tormenting and intimidating her. He mentions her being anxious near the beginning of the conversation already sensing she's frightened and orders dairy foods for her reminiscent of the farm where she escaped from him. He also notes that the cigarettes are not actually French, they're German, identity symbolism. The long pause is just to make her fear she's been caught.
The great thing about this scene is that it’s up to interpretation on whether or not he knew who she was. When he orders her milk, it could be one of two reasons. 1) he orders milk as a reminder of the day he murdered her family. He is a psychopath so in a sick twisted game, he lets her on to think she’s been found and he knows who she is. But he doesn’t cause he enjoys the hunt rather the kill. He wants her to live in fear that he will get her. He proved this when he let her live instead of shooting her at the farm. Landa is extremely intelligent and has ways to find people, so it’s very much possible he knew who she was based on his rank and character. 2) let’s say he does not know who she is. Along with the milk, he orders cream with the strudel. At the time, the cream would have been made with lard instead of dairy products. Jewish people have a law where they can’t eat meat with dairy in one meal. So he could also be testing her, to see if she would break this law to conceal her identity.
I love the ambiguity around this scene. It really cements Landa’s character as this cunning opportunist. He could very well recognize Shoshanna and have her arrested, but it would be inconvenient and unnecessary for him considering that he’s off the job and doesn’t want to make things more stressful for Goebbels. Still, the implications of him letting her go shows how he really views people. He’s only loyal to the party as far as it benefits him, and would betray his duty just out of convenience. And even so he acts courteous while flaunting his power over Shoshanna: if she makes a move he’s poised to expose her. But there’s also the possibility that he doesn’t know and it’s all in her head! Landa’s the best character Tarantino ever wrote, and everything about him and his relationship to the other characters is summed up beautifully in this scene. Literally could not be more perfect!
Hunting the Jews for Hitler was no longer his primary concern. Stabbing the nazis in the back and jumping from the sinking ship like a rat was his primary focus.
This moment!!!---This moment right here is what I loved about Hans Landa character. He knows exactly who that character is and is such a evil snake when he talks to her. He orders her milk for the strudel and that awesome drum roll when he comes in, just shows you how powerful and energetic his presence can be around people. She tries to get up and he forces her down. She knows exactly that her identity is found. I remember wanting to try strudel for the first time and I finally got to when I visited Vienna, even with cream. He did not forget what he was going to ask her...He delights in torturing her!! I love Shosanna's face when she looks up at him. I am sooo happy he won the Oscar for his role :)
Tarantino is a master at sound in his movies. You can hear, and therefore feel, everything. The way they’re eating, the clinking, the chair creaking. You are set so carefully in the scene and it’s so immersive
This is awesome!!! "I forgot the cream..." Waltz raised this film to a completely different level. With his "secondary" role, he totally dominates the entire film every second he appears. Quentin Tarantino, I congratulate you on the choice of actor and on the dialogues and scenes in all your films. There are roles that were created just for one actor and you hit the nail on the head here. A masterpiece, well done Mr. Tarantino, well done Mr. Waltz.
This music that plays at the start is incredible. It sounds just like a racing heartbeat. In that moment, you are Shoshanna and you are moments away from death and you are powerless to stop it. It's actual boss music.
The performance of the french actors ( especially the farmer in the beginning, and this lady ) is really fantastic ! Landa would not be Landa without them...
Christoph Waltz should have won the Oscar for Best Actor NOT Best Supporting Actor. He drove the plot, had the most screen time, and stole the show period!
The way the other SS officer stands at attention for Landa as soon as he enters, with Emmanuelle slowly looking above, in addition to the music getting louder and more intense. EPIC SCENE. Great acting by all.
The instant change from calmness to that military intense beat and the German soldier snapping to attention is terrifying and just show how commanding his presence is

TaliiLars RULE 34 AWAY!!
God, they both play this scene so well. The tension is palpable, and her reaction after he leaves is perfect.
This is literally my favourite dialogue scene of any movie ever. The fact that they speak German and French during the whole scene so that you pay attention (if you don't speak German and French) and the way Landa came in so unexpectedly is just beautifully crafted by QT. You can literally feel Shosanna's terror the whole way through.
Honestly if you speak both you still have to pay attention my brain does fucking backflips when I watch movies with more than two languages if I can understand them.
@@toffeelatte6042 not really doing back flips if you're fluent enough. For example, since I'm Indian(and have been constantly exposed to more than one language since childhood), I can understand when people switch between multiple languages while speaking(including English). Yeah, it depends on exposure and fluency.
@@025harsha9 lol yeah i'm taiwanese and i have no problem switching between languages either. i even speak with multiple languages in one sentence, and many others do too. so we have no issue at all flipping back and forth, i think it really trains our brains well
every second is pictured, acted and composed to perfection
This is how it looks when you dont waste any footage
Well... Tarantino
You could say that about the WHOLE movie
"No reason to be anxious"
*The milk arrives*
He was one of those villains that made your stomach uneasy every time he was on screen. He was that good. He sucked the air out of any room he walked into!
The Major immediately striking at attention just showcases just how respectable and high Landa’s power and reputation is.
I'm still impressed by how she just turns from holding it together to immediate panic attack within a turn of her head
redsands1001 I am good doing my job
Melanie Laurent looks average when sitting next to Christoph Waltz(or anyone else in the movie tbh, not just her), but she is also a pretty phenomenal actor herself.
The release of emotion at the end was worthy of an Oscar on its own.
In the script, she wets herself
SpChannel WHAT?
Nah
SpChannel Hmmm...I wouldn’t doubt it. The guy wasted her whole family and kind of hinted that he knew her.
Simply stunning indeed
When he's eating the strudel that's ASMR for me.
Everything in this scene is, its meant convey the fear and anxiety of Shoshanna
Everything he does here has a purpose. Waits for the cream, gives her a glass of milk, orders the strudel all is a play on a board. Jesus this movie is brilliant
My favourite cinema moment. I will never forget it. When Landa orders the glass of milk, everyone in the theatre gasped. It was fucking brilliant.
for real
The whole theater cheered when Wilhelm died, and then again when Landa got cut
I grabbed the arm of my seat so hard
It's almost like he knew she was shoushanna but kept quiet cuz he's secretly scheming
He knew all the time
the music at the beggining just works so well. Its like a kick of fear and adrenaline.
Ruda Rudovic prosto a delotvorno
You're so sweet Ruda Rudovic.....

Boss music
Landa suddenly entering with that music gave me Heath Ledger vibes.
It's from the horror film, the Entity. The ghost in the movie rapes the main character to it. It's a little bit more horrific, but in this it works to show Shoshana's terror pretty well. As for the film itself, it's a pretty decent watch.
Waltz steals the scene every time, but Laurent gets major props, too. Her anguish of reliving the slaying of her entire family and the hatred she has for the evil man sitting in front of her pierces my soul in this scene.
yes, the way she cries at the end always crushes my heart into pieces. god...
Plus all the food she can’t eat while being a Jew. The milk, the cream that has lard in it, the cigarette.
Hitler : I'm charismatic
Landa : hold my glass of milk
lol hitler charismatic? Are you sure? He just yelled and told sheep what they wanted to hear.
@@lostintime519 Don't neglect his charisma. People literally came to his speeches just to see why everyone speaks about new Nazi party and left them being hardcore Nazi themselves. Just listen to his or Lenin's speeches - even not knowing langauge, their voices are magnetizing.
@@lostintime519 don’t be a fool. If a public speaker has no charisma, they have no hope of appealing to the masses. Hitler must have had great charisma
Hitler was a creepy dude...LOL
@@TovKafur I think it's funny how Lenin had a speech impediment where he couldn't roll his Rs which is necessary in Russian
Everything in this scene is a masterpiece.
man, you people really do worship QT. All this stuff is lifted from old films.
@@orangewarm1 and filmmakers should do that more often too much loud brainless cgi nonsense today
Lee Lorenz Yep worship him because he's is like a God.Don't get mad lollll
@@orangewarm1 Yes, in a way, almost everything is. But that’s not what counts. Tarantino manages to make movies that go above normal pieces that thrill and entertain. His movies are enchanting, they are funny, witty, at the same time filled with incredible darkness. Look at Landa: He’s one of the worst people in the movie, in the beginning he sentenced a family to die after breaking a French farmer, and yet, he plays his part so charismatically and with such grace that one cannot help but somehow like him. This is what makes a good Tarantino picture better than the rest of Hollywood. You can see Tarantino’s genius in the failure of the villains in the marvel movies: Look at Loki, look at Ultron, look at… That blue dude (Thanos I think?). All of them carry incredible power, way more than Lands could ever dream of having, and yet, are they scary? Does Loki scare you? Does Ultron? How about Thanos? They’re poorly written comic villains who serve as comedic relief and mcguffins to further the plot. To excuse the wanton destruction the Avengers subject the world to all the time. It’s bad writing.
so fckng true
0:02 this use of the oppressive and sudden score is so brilliant
Aulandaaa esinsia...then boot sound, then the music. The whole thing was just on perfect scene.
I like how the music intensifies during Landa's entrance, its like its suppose to represent Shoshanna's heartbeat going crazy for his presence

Jajajaj great comment😸
That strudel looked so delicious, I would even eat Hans Landa's rest with the cigarette on it.
I also got hungry, after watching this scene.
I went straight to the bakery, and bought "Apfelstrudel" with fresh home made whip cream.
Diebels Alt where are u from?
The Netherlands, next to Germany
Radio Konservativ Lol yum.
Hakuna Matata You mean like the price for an Apfelstrudel?
The Netherlands is in Europe, so the price for an Apfelstrudel is a couple of Euro's
My favorite scene in the movie also one of the best scenes ever.
The thumping of the music the moment Landa is announce is Genius,it makes the audience feel the trepidation shoshana feels.
Christophe Waltz is a legend.
The music that plays when Landa walks in perfectly imitates how Shosanna’s heart must be beating.
You know Waltz is a damn great actor if he made you completely despise him in Inglorious and love him in Django.
that is so true, i love so much dr King Schultz 🥺🖤 he was a great human being, absoluty contrary to Hans Landa
I didn't despise him so much as I was terrified of him in this movie.
You despised him? that's odd.
I thought he was the best character and loved whenever he was on screen. He stole the show.
@@Archedgar he’s just so damn charming
@@Archedgar His persona no his character, i think he meant this.
I love the face Shoshanna makes when he orders her a glass of milk. It’s this kind of “okay, so we’re doing this shit now?” face.
Kobbe Exactly, the fear that he suspects who she really is, plus she may not even like milk (many people don't, or are lactose-intolerant) -- but she's too afraid of him to reject it.
Sharky165 no dude, it's not because she does not like the milk. In the opening scene shousana together with her family was hiding in a dairy farm that only produces milk... Hence the face
VICTOR Austria he literally said that.
Lol lactose intolerant? The reason he orders milk is to figure out whether she is jewish or not. He also insists on waiting for the cream. Basically he is testing whether she would break Kosher
Kobbe Nice post. Lol
Tarantino is a genius. The closeups of food is one of his trademarks. The hamburger scene in Pulp Fiction is echoed by this strudel scene. Wonderful stuff.
0:02 the way Hellstorm salutes immediately makes this scene inceribly strong
I mean Hellstorm was a real alpha and even he gives high respect for Landa
This is cringe as fuck. Starting from the pfp.
the acting and the camera... phenomenal!
MartinBergnerGuitar You’re not a European then: this is overly stereotypical and the accents are all wrong
@@billoddy5637 the only person who isn't actually German in this scene is the lady playing shoshana, so you're full of shit about the accents being wrong.
The screenplay!!
the music when Landa enters \m/
FUCK YEAH!
Shubhankar Potdar Aaaah! LANDA!!!!!
TURRUM TURRRUM TURRRR!
Loved it!
Yeah it's the music they played in The Entity when the poltergeist would attack the woman that music comes on it used to freak me out as a kid
Me too! Great effects for it's time!
I may be totally overthinking this, but I like Shosanna's subtle widening of the eyes at 3:46 after her first taste of the strudel. It's as if despite the fear and anxiety she's feeling at the time, she's still able to appreciate how surprisingly good the strudel is!
Yes, it was a nice touch
Not so terrible
It was her way of saying, "ah, frick it, if this is what it comes down to, so be it."
No that's because in strudel there's probably animal fat, which at that time was made out of pork, and remember, Shoshanna is jewish.
@@jojosbazaar4833 despite it's an insightful observation, I belive it's a bit too elaborate. I think it's just her appreciating the strudel
U can feel the intensity of the Evil energy enter the room when landa came inside, omg the guitar riff completely captures it immensely. Such a powerful scene and also captures Emmanuels emotions of rage, vengeance but most of all FEAR.
Some of you might disagree but I think he knew who she really is.
Romel Negut same!
yeah,he ordered her a GLASS OF MILK.
Samuel Nittala :))
I think this scene was designed for viewers to be on the fence about it all. He could have known but maybe not. I think he knew. I just think it humored him to let her live seeing as how he could have killed her twice but he decides not to as if she's his little experiment. "How far can she make it in this world if I spare her?" I think he was impressed with how successful she became so he spares her again.
bumpy doo I agree with you on that.
Tarantino can make me crave everything he puts in scenes like this,
NineByNine Parabellum even shit you dont even like. Im not fond of beer but after watching the beer scene in Django I crave a big ass glass of it xD
especially the hamburgers and sprite
SAME
Even coffees at "Hateful eight"
I know... Hans landa
that music and entrance elevates this scene to god level
Each moment every frame of this clip is an acting, editing, sound engineering and direction masterclass. Watching it for may be the 100th time, and still my eyes are glued to the screen. Masterpiece is the word!!
0:51-1:10 That subtle but desperate look of fear & hope on the face of Emmanuelle looking towards the private hoping for a rescue from the interrogation of Hans Landa.. brilliant.
I love how she's annoyed with zoller until he leaves. You can see it in her face she wanted him to stay.
mate because hans fucking landa showed up, she wanted all the help she could get
the music when Landa enters the room is PERFECT. it really fits SO well!! i can remember several times in my life where something gave me so much instant fear/anxiety, and this music feels just like that. it's like when your heart beats so strongly you can feel it in your entire body, and you feel light-headed.
One thing I love about this scene is the way Landa says “est c’est vrai?” at 4:34 with that scandalous little smile, like he’s a young woman discussing the latest salacious gossip.
The acting of everyone in this movie is just incredible.
I feel like Melanie Laurent deserved more credit than she got
she cant even act to save her life ...she can atleast act pretending to be happy discussing thing with landa...she literally has hai landa its me Shoshanna and im scared as fuck written all over her face....
Is that who plays shosanna
@@RyzzeRoseyes
Ironic how in Django Unchained he played the "enlightened" Dr King Schultz, also a German, the most unracist individual movie cinema has ever portrayed
Hans Cascante Schultz? Why is he racist?
He said unracist.
KFMonster Woops, was reading a bit too fast!
A smart, cold and calculating character like him might not even bought into the nazi propaganda, but is just hunting jews for his own gain and not because he's antisemitic. Also because he's easily willing to fry German high command for his own gain
He hates everyone basically
She played the emotion of disgust beautifully in this scene. Christoph steals the show, but there is superb acting from all in this film.
her holding her self together in front of the man responsible for the brutal murder of her family right till the end of his departure and then breaking down is impressive. the entire scene is great , from the start of the announcement of Hans Landa is here to her sobbing quietly.
Christoph Waltz Multi Talent. Speaks French, German, english and ...by the way... is a great actor.
Shorty don't forget he speaks Italian too
John Marku just in this movie, not sure if he does in real life tho
But he doesn't speak Chinese it's weird
@@vadimzdonutube be sure he can speak in Real life . Thanks to this , tarantino wanted him to play for this movie .
Mee too can speak all three languages quite fluently.
Such a great scene. Top notch acting by both actors. Brilliant.
He knows. Ordering the glass of milk is a way of telling Shoshana he knows her, without telling anything to anyone else.
He remembers the farm.
So much hype for the Apfel Strudel and then he eats it with such a hurry and plants his cigarette in it.
This was nothing but an interrogation.
Tarantino has a way of showing things. It amazes me how he makes simple conversation feel like WW3.
Christoph's timing is fucking amazing.
My favourite scene in the movie. I love the cat and mouse game going on and how Shoshanna is able to keep the mother of all game faces even when Hans plays his hand and orders her the glass of milk.
6:31 The face of him knowing who she is...
Hé doesn't who she is he is trying to intimidate her
@@lq4275 Yes he did know.
The glas of milk was his way to let her know
"May I call you Emmanuelle?" - Even this little piece of dialogue shows how truly multidismensional this scene is. Add the fact that he ordered milk for her, it shows us he knows perfectly well who she is. He is playing his ultimate dominance card by showing her that despite the fact, that he knows, he's not affraid of her in any way and in a sense she lives by his mercy.
Notice how he takes a moment to look at her after her response, same as he did with the cream, which the french waiter oh so bravely served less of to the occupator.
Can you remind me on how the glass of milk affects this?
@@makutas-v261 her father was a dairy farmer, Landa ordered and drank milk while in their home (opening scene)
@@Proxym thanks bro
@@Proxym Was the farmer the father? If I remember correctly the guy was hiding a jew family but he wasn't a jew himself, we are introduced to the farmer's daughters in that very scene, Shoshana wasn't one of them, she was hiding under the floorboards with the other jews, her family
Ordered a glass of milk, give her a cigarette saying it was not French but German. Hans definitely knew who she was.
Everything about Landa is amazing. Even the way he wipes off the table, scoops the sugar, stirs the espresso, it all stands out. Such a great character
Agreed. Part of what makes him a great character are the little things. Very subtle, just as the way he put his hand on Shoshanna's shoulder to keep her down: he doesn't apply any pressure, just holds it still until she applies pressure herself by standing up and realize what's going on. Then, he briefly but firmly sits her back down before gently caressing her shoulder with his fingers; his way of saying: "There, there. Stay sited a little longer." Pure genius!
Landa is the definition of fear and tension. This scene is absolutely brilliant
this movie has brad freakin pitt in it but christolph waltz steals the movie
pitt was the weak link in this movie
And for good reason, QT was about to give up on trying to find an actor who could speak English, German, French and Italian when Christopher quite literally Waltzed in... Haha
Pitt was the worst character in the movie 💀 and also performance wise
Brad pitt, oddly, had the worst performance in the cast. This movie made me realize that brad pitt is a mediocre actor. I mean his performance in se7en is quite complex for me. I don’t know if he really nailed it or not especially that “what’s in the box” part. I dont clearly know if it is good or bad but his performance here? Very clear…. Quite bad.
I'm pretty certain Christoph Waltz could have won an oscar for simply just turning up in this movie. One of the best performances in film history
This scene is Tarantino's Brilliance in a nutshell. The layers of drama hidden behind placid faces, the heightened and unbearable tension highlighted by every sound made being more acute and the subtle and unmistakable way he lets you know that Landa knows everything when he orders her a glass of milk. Compound that with the soulless face of his when he says he has one last question for her. He doesn't have a question because he knows the answer. Just brilliant filmmaking.
Fear, anxiety, intimidation, and stifling dominance portayed by two very impressive actors. Cinematic art at its highest level. QT is a legend.
6.25-6.35 .Longest 10 seconds in movie .
german intimidation technics (techniques d'intimidations allmandes), the acting is perfect.
Does he really forget? Or he just pretend?
Kjwkjw I have a idea that he realised what letting the fuhre and goebells go into the theatre could do for him, (which was the last scene) so he decided not to blow shoshannes cover and let her take in the nazis into her theatre and then him guessing that she’s gunna do something to kill them like set it on fire as she did.
He definitely hasn't forgotten. He's just tormenting and intimidating her. He mentions her being anxious near the beginning of the conversation already sensing she's frightened and orders dairy foods for her reminiscent of the farm where she escaped from him. He also notes that the cigarettes are not actually French, they're German, identity symbolism. The long pause is just to make her fear she's been caught.
AKSBSU summed up perfectly
0:02 gives me chills every time...
If you think it's creepy here, you should hear how it's used in "The Entity", the film it originated from.
When an actor succesfully makes you hate their character with every fibre in your body, you know he’s good
i think thats you because a lot of people like Hans
The great thing about this scene is that it’s up to interpretation on whether or not he knew who she was. When he orders her milk, it could be one of two reasons.
1) he orders milk as a reminder of the day he murdered her family. He is a psychopath so in a sick twisted game, he lets her on to think she’s been found and he knows who she is. But he doesn’t cause he enjoys the hunt rather the kill. He wants her to live in fear that he will get her. He proved this when he let her live instead of shooting her at the farm. Landa is extremely intelligent and has ways to find people, so it’s very much possible he knew who she was based on his rank and character.
2) let’s say he does not know who she is. Along with the milk, he orders cream with the strudel. At the time, the cream would have been made with lard instead of dairy products. Jewish people have a law where they can’t eat meat with dairy in one meal. So he could also be testing her, to see if she would break this law to conceal her identity.
Having strudel with the man that killed her family... Tarantino ur a genius
I love the ambiguity around this scene. It really cements Landa’s character as this cunning opportunist. He could very well recognize Shoshanna and have her arrested, but it would be inconvenient and unnecessary for him considering that he’s off the job and doesn’t want to make things more stressful for Goebbels. Still, the implications of him letting her go shows how he really views people. He’s only loyal to the party as far as it benefits him, and would betray his duty just out of convenience. And even so he acts courteous while flaunting his power over Shoshanna: if she makes a move he’s poised to expose her. But there’s also the possibility that he doesn’t know and it’s all in her head! Landa’s the best character Tarantino ever wrote, and everything about him and his relationship to the other characters is summed up beautifully in this scene. Literally could not be more perfect!
Amazing interpretation
Hunting the Jews for Hitler was no longer his primary concern. Stabbing the nazis in the back and jumping from the sinking ship like a rat was his primary focus.
Even Tarantino admits Landa is his best
This moment!!!---This moment right here is what I loved about Hans Landa character. He knows exactly who that character is and is such a evil snake when he talks to her. He orders her milk for the strudel and that awesome drum roll when he comes in, just shows you how powerful and energetic his presence can be around people. She tries to get up and he forces her down. She knows exactly that her identity is found. I remember wanting to try strudel for the first time and I finally got to when I visited Vienna, even with cream. He did not forget what he was going to ask her...He delights in torturing her!! I love Shosanna's face when she looks up at him. I am sooo happy he won the Oscar for his role :)
Tarantino is a master at sound in his movies. You can hear, and therefore feel, everything. The way they’re eating, the clinking, the chair creaking. You are set so carefully in the scene and it’s so immersive
Can we create an award for “best supporting strudel?”
a glass of milk...damn that's savage.
i didn't get it. Can you tell the mean of ''a glass of milk''.?
@@simia1488 Landa asks for a glass of milk in the house where he killed her whole family. That's a way of telling her he knew who she was.
@@gghs9162 thx i got it.
As far as I'm concerned, the real horror is sitting at the table infront of Hans
This is awesome!!! "I forgot the cream..." Waltz raised this film to a completely different level. With his "secondary" role, he totally dominates the entire film every second he appears. Quentin Tarantino, I congratulate you on the choice of actor and on the dialogues and scenes in all your films. There are roles that were created just for one actor and you hit the nail on the head here. A masterpiece, well done Mr. Tarantino, well done Mr. Waltz.

The part when landa enters is just a masterpiece,you can even feel the anxiety.

pissed me off that half of the cream doesn't even make it on the spoon with the second scoop at 3:26
sw1tched Lmao me too.
That’s why Hans looks at it so long
I know what you mean. Annoyed the shit outta me
I know right?
Useless french waiter.
The way the other SS officer stands at attention for Landa as soon as he enters, with Emmanuelle slowly looking above, in addition to the music getting louder and more intense.
EPIC SCENE. Great acting by all.
Aaaand then it's ruined by a pointless flashback that treats the audience like they're a bunch of retards.
The instant change from calmness to that military intense beat and the German soldier snapping to attention is terrifying and just show how commanding his presence is
This is my second best movie scene of all time. The mental torture he‘s putting her trough. You can feel it. And yet he acts so casual. So scary.
Whats your favorite movie then?
