    There is one point everybody misses about the card game. You have only 10 questions. When the major asks an 11th question, only Hicox answers while every body else remains silent (you usually have to drink up if you accidently answer an 11th question). You can se a brief change in the majors expression at that moment, indicating that he noticed the blunder.

    "I hope you don't mind if I go out speaking the King's" is such a wonderful, playful, semi-parodic way of signalling to the cinema audience: "relax, you can stop having to read the subtitles now."

    Hicox is the only major British character in the entire film, the others are German, French, and American. The way it is set up Hicox seems absolutely professional, a British Operative like James Bond. It makes it extra suspenseful when the audience realizes he slipped up.
    Also the fact that this is movie is presented for a majority English speaking audience adds to the confusion of what went wrong, an American or English person wouldn’t notice the three finger motion because it seems absolutely natural, also because they don’t know German, the can’t see any differences in the accents.

      I'm pretty sure that even people who don't speak any German can notice the dodgy accent. The issue (and the doubt in the audience's mind) is whether that's just because the _actor_ has a dodgy accent (and in the context of the movie he's supposed to be speaking perfect German) or if the _character_ is also supposed to have a dodgy accent.

    What i always liked about inglorious basterts, apart from brilliant performances (especially by Walz), is that the germans (who are all played by very well known german movie and tv actors) are not just stereotypical bond movie like goons, but feel like real people in terrible circumstances trying to survive and somehow live their lives in a way that feels reasonably normal to them..... just like most people living thru these times.
    Since my grandfather was an austrian drafted in to the wehrmacht in early '39, who fought thru the whole war from Poland france to russia, who doubtless saw horrific things and in the end survived as a broken man that never was able to find any sort of healing, i realy appreciate that these people have also been recognized as real human beings by the film.

    As much as this scene is well written, I dont think Tarantino wrote it himself or at least alone. The details and refferences are so specifically German, it had to be a native who wrote or advised the scene. Just the conversation about Winnetou's nationality is such a specific pop-culture refference to the era and Hitler in particular, who is said to have been a great fan of the Winnetou novels and recommended them to his officers. And the accent/dialect scene is of course brilliant, because its so darn accurate. Particularly since its a detail most US-made films involving Nazis (I'm looking at you Spielberg) get this often laughably wrong. Here Tarantino seems to poke fun at that Hollywood trope of getting accents wrong all of the time. But the fact that he knows this, understands the pop culture of the time and scripted the whole thing in German makes me thing he had a lot of German help creating the scene.

      Tarantino started as a script writer. He became a director because he wanted to make HIS script, not re-write it.
      I GUARANTEE you he researched this as far as he reasonably could. Then changed what he wanted to fit the story. Like Kubrick - Tarantino is an artist who shows his talent through both his ability and his auteur nature. For a guy whose only previous experience is being into films and working in a video shop, I think it's fair to say he is committed to his craft and goes the distance.
      Say you want about Tarantino, but as an ex-film buff and person selling millions of units - he will have put in work.
      One of the things I love about the guy is the fact like me and other people who've worked in the industry, we do it for the love. Tarantino definitely researches.
      Thank you for the culturally specific insight. It was adequate. I'd give you more praise but I think as a German that might induce combustion. Very adequate.

(looking at Hicox) I was speaking to Captain I-don’t-know-what. He was calling them out by their accents. Meaning Stiglitz had a Frankfurt accent while Hicox has a Munich accent. Priceless.

    It’s easy to take for granted the amount of tension in the scene but it’s hard to think of another movie with a scene that spends, what feels like an eternity, ratcheting up the tension with each line of dialogue. When you think you can relax, Tarantino adds another wrench in the scene, from wilhelm’s approach to the German officer, to continue upping the ante. And what’s even more impressive is that it’s all done through dialogue as opposed to using external forces outside the shot to increase the urgency (say an approaching enemy). Overall, when watching it i was captivated by its entertainment value but only in retrospect, through this analysis, do I realize how special this scene is in the annals of cinematography.

      The Hateful Eight was no different. There was no mystery or thrills there...just endlessly dull conversations that led to nothing but long run times.

When Hellstrom orders it, he doesn't say "they 33 year old" but only "the 33'er", maybe hinting to the year of 1933 when the Nazis came to power. Refering to someone as an 33'er mean that that person was an OG Nazi from the start not just someone who junper on tha bandwagon.
    Also the name 'Hellstrom', because hell means two differnt and quite opposite things in german and english. In german it is an adjextive that means 'light' (as the opposite of 'dark')

If you have ever seen a UK series called Blackadder Goes Forth focused on WW1 then I feel his character was almost lifted from the part Stephen Fry played. Born noble by birth, gifted positions of senior ranking in the army, sent hundreds of thousands of young lads to their deaths. It's to show how buffoonish and egotistical they were in thinking they were really military geniuses while safe behind a desk.

  • @MeonLights
    @MeonLights 19 днів тому +57

    I have no notes, just some additional fun:
    The Germans are playing the Identity/Who Am I game in German. The game could in theory be played with two people, but starts to get fun at three or more players. They are also playing the game in German, in France. Meaning the other players at least speak German but also very possibly are German. Sure, they are in occupied territory which is why the bar staff speaks (enough) German. But being comfortable enough to play a game with Germans in German at least implies some form of companionship. It's also partially why the waitress would object to join in. She has to work, yes, but her mother tongue isn't German. She protests in French before she is coerced in and somewhat put at ease.
    So the Germans are not on their home turf (disadvantaged). but the area has bowed to their "nature" and is sort of on their side. They are capable of making the place their turf, but there still might be variables they aren't prepared for.
    Also, when the Basterds enter with the tracking shot, the three Basterds line up with the three bottles in the foreground briefly. We see two red bottles and one blue one. Again, the hot and cold combination you mentioned, but also we see some of them might find their bloody end.
    I did enjoy that Fassbender leaned into his accented German for this movie. I'm German and to my ears, yes, he has a very good understanding of the language, close to a native speaker. But there is something to his pronunciation and... idk sound of sentences that gives you an "off" feeling. At least once you notice it in some way.
    (Also whenever I hear someone criticize the giveaway with the act of holding up three fingers the "non-German way", I remember the story about the German spy who was caught in France because the way he cut/ate his potatoes gave away that he wasn't French and giggle a bit.

    I think the shot of Hellström cutting the victrola also serves the audience by letting them know when the chips are really down. You’ve had these escalating pops of tension, even the awkward pressure of that long shot between Hicox and Wilhelm, and the ensuing yelling, but it’s all been jangly, drunken hijinks. When that ambience stops, all of the chaos and noise-the life-stops. However tense you thought it was, Tarantino is showing you that, even the next second, there’s a much more excruciating and serious level-death-waiting. You’re right to highlight it as one of the most masterful scenes in cinema, and it’s a tough call, because this film is full of incredible scenes. If I had one criticism of it, actually, it would be that it’s so full of them that it never really gets to breathe-probably entirely intentional, in this case. My field is design, and we talk a lot about leaving clean space for the eye to rest. This film is so dynamic and has been ideated and realized to a level of perfection where there is no such space, and I think it’s a brilliant, if suffocating, way to tell the story of a very dynamic and suffocating chapter in world history. I highly approve of your choice of this scene and the contrasting opening scenes to qualify it. Good eye!

    This was the first scene of any QT movie I’ve ever seen
    It was just on TV one day long ago and I started to watch
    Never before had dialogue alone intrigued me and captured my attention so strongly
    I was glued to the screen on the edge of my seat…from DIALOGUE (which as a 14 year old was very novel!
    I didn’t even see any other scene in the movie for a good while, so I just knew of this amazingly tense scene that was utterly brilliant, it was unlike anything I had scene in movies before

    I love how the basement is the best and the worst place to fight.
    Best: Can't be flanked, you have one spot to cover
    Worst: No escape, it's a desperate position because you're a sitting duck, your options are limited to "fight until there's no one left and you can leave (unlikely), or get captured/off'd by lucky tossed 'nade"
    But I love the unspoken hatred of the idea of fighting in a basment by Aldo. Dude has a scar around his neck, and I'll be about willing to bet he ran into a basement to hide before he got it!

    When i first saw this scene i knew Hicox had ruined their disguise when he held up 3 fingers; never mind ordering whiskey, which to be honest seems like scripting overkill. Anyway. Any German would have used instead, a thumb & two fingers. It gives the whole scene more nuance if you understand this. For example when the Major orders "the 33" & imitates Hicox by holding up three fingers, he is both educating & reminding Hicox regarding his mistake, & at the same time, mocking him. You can see resigned defeat & realisation in Hicox's expression.

    @kulii 15 днів тому +3

    Brigitte Horney, the name Hellstrom writes on the card that ends up on Hicox' forehead, was a German actress best known for her leading role in the 1943 movie 'Münchhausen'. The fictionalized character of Baron Münchhausen was notorious for telling outrageous tall tales. The German term 'Lügenbaron' (baron of lies), which is colloquial until today, stems from this character. So it is very safe to assume that Hellstrom knew right from the beginning that Hicox was indeed not a German.

    I’m surprised you didn’t go more in depth about the question/identity game that they played and how the Officer’s identity is King Kong who is usually shown holding a young woman whom the protagonists are trying to get back. Also the way he plays the game shows his strategy while dealing with these Americans, his deduction skills but also his tendency to have a very strong suspicion of their identity but not reveal so until he is absolutely certain.

      And not only that, he is SO certain at the end that he doesn't even bother to look at the card - he just takes it off and throws it on the table without ever confirming if that was really the name (as someone would in an involuntary self-congratulatory act of "yeah I got it right")

    Something I find very interesting about this scene is the casting. Michael Fassbender is from Germany originally and can speak German without his obvious accent in the film. So he intentionally speaks the language with his weird intonations.
    Also, the region he is claiming to be from does have a lot of different distinct accents. So his backstory is entirely plausible.

    The only problem is that the bilingualism is kind of inconsistent. I wish certain scenes like the French woman threatening the Germans and some dialogues of Landa thinking to himself were in German rather than English. Most of the film was already in French and German so they could’ve made these specific dialogues German as well. It is a excellent film otherwise

Classic Tarantino style, slowly moving conversation that gives hints from what's about to happen, still never quite revealing it until the whole stage blows up! Nice to see a fellow Tarantino fan making such a great review of the scene, taking all to account! Great work!!

    Bit random here but my grandpa stole a pair of Görings (seen at 1:09) Lederhosen when he raided that fat bastard’s hunting cabin in the alps during WW2. That, alongside a number of strange and unique photographs and some other spoils now reside at Stanford University as we had no use for it and weren’t trying to let some skinheads acquire it for their “collection” by selling it or something shady like that.

      They are also called "Lederhosen" if they are made of leather. Lederhosen are both any pants made of leather (literally translating to "leather pants", as well as specific kinds of clothing traditional to Bavaria and Austria ("Lederhosn"), also called "Tracht" (traditional clothes).
      However, thanks to your grandpa for his service, and giving it to a university was a good call. Would hate to see that stuff in the hands of Skinheads. Sincerely, someone from Germany.

    18:02 This is overlooked in this analysis, but Hellstrom's pat on the bartenders back indicate to me that he is a regular in this bar, and he is subtlety trying to indicate something - that being either to expect the worst, or that everything is under control. Wither way, it brings an atmosphere of Hellstrom being the central person in the room (or basement, if you will, which may be an indication of Tarantinos lowly opinion of bigots in general).

    His fate was sealed as soon as he opened his mouth.
    Turning off the music was like saying “fun’s over”
    The three finger gesture didn’t give him away.
    The major is playing along with all the bs until those three fingers are raised. Now knowing, everyone else knows he’s slipped up means he has to act on it, Game over.
    One of the greatest scenes of all time in my opinion.
