I love the hollywood fantasy movies about WW2 Another good fantasy movie is Schindler's List Or anything that talks about Auschwitz. hollywood is so fun when it comes to those movies.
My suggestion for your next Tarantino movie is his all time classic, Pulp Fiction. A true masterpiece. Keep up the great reactions. Looking forward to the next one.
@@tanelviil9149 Schindler's List is a true story and spamming your idiocy and ignorance under every single comment won't convince people that the horrors of the Nazi concentration camps never happened. You're just showing everybody how stupid and ignorant neo-Nazi scum like you are.
He is so good because he doesn´t play it scary...and that makes him scary as hell...Probably the best bad guy ever to play in a Tarantino movie...most likely one of the best bad guys ever
The branding is so stupid.. it's so easy to make something else from a swastika. You can literally connect all the open parts and make it seem like 4 squares . ( just one example )
Landa knew the war was close to over and if Germany lost he would be on trial for war crimes. He was in a position to give up the entire German command to save his own ass. He didn't have a sudden change of heart about his job, he just didn't want to spend the rest of his life in jail or get executed for his role in the SS.

@@tanelviil9149 Bitch, stop spamming this message everywhere, trying to sell the idea that Schindler's List was a "cooky Hollywood fantasy". Schindler's List is a true story, and the horrors of the Nazi concentration camps are way too real. Historical revisionism is a common neo-Nazi tactic, but you have to understand that you're the only one dumb enough to believe the shit you say.
I really wonder about the Australian education system. Don't they learn about WW2 and the Holocaust? I mean we are given comprehensive knowledge here in Europe, no idea how it is down under.
@@cherrypi_b well of course you are, you're in the continent where that genocide happened lmao, I wouldn't expect you to know much about the American Revolution or Civil War or the Australian Sydney Cove War either.
This was relatively late in the war (1944), Landa could absolutely see the writing on the wall and knew defeat was coming. He wanted to bail and also get a sweet set up in America and be regarded as a hero.
@@patrickwaldeck6681 Honestly, most people in the SS and higher ups could tell the war was impossible to win after USSR moved against them, also Hitler made so many dumb mistakes like declaring war on America after Pearl Harbor. That's what happens when you have an inexperienced war monger propped up on amphetamines and generals afraid to say no. Putin isn't too far off either atm. Thought he could take Ukraine in a week and here we are over 2 years late.. Dictators always overestimate their own military supremacy and underestimate others.
Hear me out but a underrated gem would be deathproof from grindhouse double feature. Plus the fake movie ad's in the beginning lol. I think it would blow their minds
Hey guys, just an FYI this insanely incredible movie was almost never made.. Quintin wrote it about 4-5 years before but he couldn’t find a Hans Landa he wanted… he wanted a man who really could speak… English, German , French and Italian he didn’t want the actor to have to have extra training for the movie because of the intensity…. Enter meeting a king lol….the incredible Christoph Waltz!! Also the opening scene in the farmers house is now taught in film school as how to correctly build tension and rightfully so!!! Take care!

Waltz doesn't speak Italian, and it shows. He just simulates fairly well, but an Italian speaker can catch it immediately. Still impressive overall, though. 😅
@@tanelviil9149 You're so pathetic man, go read a book and stop watching brainrot tiktoks. Your life must be quite sad to copy paste your holocaust denial comments all over this video, seek therapy please.
“Oh the SS.. thats no good” so obvious but delivered so innocently from Spartan that its actually hilarious. Yall definitely didnt go to school on ww2 lol
chilling detail for those that don't speak French, in the opening scene right before the Dreyfuss family is killed, Landa says "adieu" which is used when you don't expect to see someone again, and as Shosanna is running away he instead uses "au revoir" which is more like saying see you soon
The look on Pudgey's face when Christoph starts speaking fluent Italian in the face of the non-existent Italian language by the Basterds team. It simply blew her mind. ------- It's such a shocking contrast of cultures, especially when faced with the danger of an undercover espionage mission. Just Love it.
Christoph Walz got an audition for such a big role because they were looking for an actor who speaks native German and is fluid in English, French, and Italian. And there's just not a lot of actors who can do all four, so it didn't matter that he wasn't a big star yet.
@DeathBean89 I don't think Spartan is able to handle the shifting information and perspectives that Tarantino throws at your during a movie. --------- I've learned not to dissect Tarantino movie in the moment but go skiing for the ride. And then analyze what took place later in the day.
Landa never technically saw Shoshana's face (she was running away, so he only saw the back of her). Also, Landa turned because he knew the war was coming to an end, and saw an opportunity to cash out his chips by handing Hitler & his high command to the Basterds.

@@tanelviil9149 And with this, it's the fourth time you spam the same post, trying to single handedly convince the world that the concentration camps were a Hollywood invention. I love how ignorant and dumb neo-Nazi like you are. Always makes me chuckle. 😂
So according to Christoph Waltz his character for sure KNEW she was Shoshana. He didn't need to kill her, knowing where she was and the fact that he can find her was enough for him. But that could also be Christoph just making his character more likable then he even was. One thing is sure, every scene with him in was very tense! Well written and well acted! Bravo!

Here's a crash course to Quentin Tarantino's film style: 1) He builds tension through the plot or, more likely, dialogue. He builds and builds and builds and builds the tension until... 2) He resolves that tension through a sudden burst of over-the-top, almost cartoonish violence. 2a) He usually uses humor in either the dialogue OR the violence. And it's okay to laugh at it. In fact, that's sometimes the point. 3) He is terrific at writing naturalistic dialogue, and oftentimes his characters are people on the fringes of society (criminals, gangsters, hitmen, assassins, etc.) 4) He likes using tropes, especially Mexican standoff, sudden zooms. And his characters very often have alliterations for names. 5) His favorite genres are martial arts movies, westerns, blaxploitation, and B-movies. 6) He writes his scripts much like books/novels, using "chapter" headings, title overlays, and he likes to tell his stories out of sequential order. 7) He has a foot fetish. Once you are aware of that, you can't be un-aware of it. ***Before you get around to watching "Once Upon A Time In Hollywood", please do some cursory research about the Manson murders. It'll help contextualize the film better for you.
41:25 you skipped over the best part of the scene! The third best ‘I don’t speak Italian’ guy: Domenic Decoco Landa: “encoré?” “Dominic Decoco” Landa: “Bravo”
@@reinholdmueller4882 he destroyed Thor movies . His ego couldn't handle that he should follow the script of comic books material so he ruined one of the saddest and best stories just to push his woke , funny agenda
I cant even find words for how amazing of an actor Christoph Waltz Is. The man deserves an Oscar for every role he plays. 37:08 No buddy, you said he must've said something wrong 🤣
Hey Spartan and Pudgey, you know when milk becomes a weapon in disguise to relax the audience yet create tension in a simple conversation is another way to engage the Tarantino writing genius. ------- Christophe Waltz pace and timing pull off the intensity perfectly. -------- What an amazing scene.
32:37 In mainland Europe when show 3 fingers we do Thumb, index and middle finger. But British do the 3 middle. I'm not sure how they do it in the US and Australia but it def sticks out as weird to non Brits in Europe, such amazing writing! Also Fassbender's German is good but his R's sounds unusual because he rolls them too much, and doesn't sound like any known regional dialect so it sounds like he isn't a native speaker. Brad Pitt's Italian on the other hand was flawless 🤣 As someone who is into linguistics, this film is a masterpiece when it comes to using accents and language.
In Russia we also show three middle fingers to show "three", with bent thumb and pinky, it was quite a discovery for me that German "three" means thumb, index and middle finger, honestly, I don`t lie.
The brutality of the bar scene is the blood bath we have come to expect from the mind of Tarantino. The lead up of tension from a simple conversation is the classic Tarantino style of writing.
S&P Moderator!!! (No Spoliers) If they do get around to watching “Once upon a time in Hollywood” I think beforehand you might wanna have a very small historical mention albeit from a newspaper artlice or tv news clip about the “incident that happened to “you know whom’ so that spartan and pudgy get a better grasp beforehand and understand the huge difference those events made in 1969 American psyche. Just my 2 cents. Enjoyed reaction by the way.❤️
This man called her *SLOW* for guessing wrong because she thought the mistake was not offering scotch to the German officer. 🙄 Meanwhile, he *ALSO GUESSED WRONG.* He literally said "it's something he [Lt. Hicox] said, he pronounced something wrong"... and now he's trying to gaslight her saying he knew it was the three fingers all along. 😂😂😂

@@tanelviil9149 It's the third time you spam this message. Schindler's List is a *true story* and you're not going to convince anyone that the horrors of the Nazi concentration camps were a "Hollywood fantasy". You Nazi scum.
Great reaction like always, Love this movie, there are some fun-facts about it. In the beginning of the movie when Landa is meeting the entire family he does something sneaky, when he is shaking their hands of the daughters, but if you look closer at his hands what he is really doing is checking their pulse to see who be nervous, this little details are awsome. The scene where Landa speaks Italian flawlessly and Aldo’s Tennessee accent radiates “Not Italian At All” energy is not how it was scripted. He was written to be extremely fluent and competent at it, but Brad Pitt convinced Tarantino to let him try it that way. In the end, Tarantino agreed that he shouldn’t blend in because, as he put it, “the plan they cobble together is fucking dumb.” It only succeeds because Landa wants it to succeed, it should not work… and the accent just rams home just how dumb the plan is. The character of Hans Landa was a stumbling block for him to get the movie made in the first place. He thought he’d written a character that no actor could play. He has to speak, in order, French, English, German, and Italian fluently, be charming and terrifying at the same time, and appear to be a brilliant detective, a nazi version of Sherlock Holmes (that’s why he has the large pipe in the first scene, it’s a reference to Holmes’ pipe). Thank goodness for Christoph Waltz who steals every scene he’s in. And another fun-fact trivia. Since puff pastries (what strudels are) during WWII were made with pig lard (not Kosher) due to wartime butter shortage, Landa's choice of dish for Shosanna could be seen either as a test to see if she's Jewish (as she'd normally reject the food) or he knows who she is and is forcing her into eating non-kosher. Keep up the good work.
Jew here. The pastry wouldn't be kosher regardless. And judging by Shoshana's behavior throughout the rest of the movie I don't think she be bothered by eating non-kosher. If that was Tarantino's intention behind that scene it's somewhat misguided.
Great reaction. There's a degree of nuance in some scenes you seem to have missed. Make no mistake: Landa knew the whole time where the Jewish family was hiding, probably before he set foot on the farm. Their fate was sealed. I think Landa just wanted the sick pleasure of forcing the Frenchman (LePedite) to confess. So LePedite didn't really rat the Jewish family out so much as he did the only thing he could to save his own family. Remember, the Nazis controlled France at the time, having destroyed their military and also conquered half of Europe. They would have seemed unstoppable. LePedite was just a farmer. He and his daughters would have been killed alongside the Jewish family if he hadn't admitted to hiding them. Would we have done the same in his position? I don't know, and hope never to find out.
I think Kill Bill would be more to Spartan’s liking, to be honest. Jumping into your discussion, I believe Landa kills von Hammersmarck because he simply couldn't tolerate a German traitor. It's one of the rare moments in the movie where he truly loses his composure and shows real emotion. This moment feels personal to him, which is why he chooses to strangle her rather than just shoot her. It could be argued that this is ironic, given that he betrays the Nazis in the end. However, I see it less as irony and more as Landa always playing the winning side.
The movie was supposed to be a bit longer. A few scenes with the Basterds assaulting German checkpoints and such were cut, and only used for quick cutaways. That's also why, by the time the tavern scene begins, their numbers have already gone down from 11 (including Stiglitz and Hicox) to 9, with Sakowitz and Zimmerman dying off screen. Kagan and Hirschberg instead are still alive in the vet office after the tavern shootout, but they don't appear in the final part of the movie. This means that they either died in another cut scene between the vet office and the cinema or they just escaped capture when Utivich was captured, and survived the whole ordeal.
Landa flipped because at this point in the war, Germany was already losing and as sharp as he was, he saw Germany was not going to win. He saw a chance to come out ahead and took it.
Aldo Raine's comment at the end is a comment with double meaning. "I think this is my masterpiece" ------- It applies to both the forehead mark and to Tarantino:s writing and direction. Amazing again by Tarantino,. Great reaction.
"Oui, Shoshana." Gives me chills, to this day. And Shoshana's laughing face, projected onto the billowing smoke, was such an amazingly striking visual.
03:10 Wait what you mean by "obviously didn't study it in school"? Is WW2 not being taught in Australia much or something? That would be really surprising since Australia's military was also involved although to some little extent
It is. I'm a few years older than S&P (I'm also from Sydney whereas they're from Melbourne), but WW2 was taught to us. However, it was mainly the Pacific Theatre that we learnt about, as it affected Australia directly. Maybe the North African campaigns too, as Aussies fought there on behalf of the Brits. Unless you went on to study Modern History as an elective, you didn't learn much beyond the above and the Vietnam War. Then there's also the fact that not everyone pays attention to class at that age. 😂
Im Polish Slav... I've no love for Hitler... Christoph waltz is such an incredible actor in this.... just like he was in Django.....he "flips" at the end because he's smart and he knows the Germans are about to lose WW2...and Americans will follow the Geneva convention..if he cooperates he could very well walk away without facing the firing squad....he was just protecting his ass ..
@@srccde no?😅ok military professor 👍 thanks for wasting everyone's time with that 👍it was truly helpful and necessary to dissect something that didn't happen... appreciated 😀🤡
@@kevinslayzak1214 That answer says a lot about the kind of person you are. Anyway, my answer is simply based on the historical fact that many German officers were, in fact, executed for their crimes even if they had previously cooperated. You may want to look that up yourself before you give another such brainless answer.
@srccde lol..did those officers literally hand over the entire upper level Nazi party?..the fact that you had to open your mouth over a fictitious situation tells me the type of d-bag you are too😀👍good luck with that 🤡

‘The fallen of world war 2’ is a great video to watch and react to if you are learning about the war in more detail, it really does an excellent job in visualising how many people died during the war in each country
Hey Spartan and Pudgey, I love your insight with Tarantino's themes of writing, in which he takes a story and shows both sides of the opposing parties. ------- He advocates for the story of the protagonist but doesn't make them invulnerable to loss and suffering. -------- On the side of the villains/ protagonist Tarantino makes them the losers but not without allowing them painful victories. Great post reaction commentary. Love it

@@tanelviil9149 Yeah, you'd just look like all the other people walking around with window scars on their foreheads... Pretty sure people would figure out why you really have those scars
I was eagerly awaiting this one. Seems like you two have been watching a bunch of shows I don’t care much about instead of movies, so I was happy to see this.Tarantino is my favorite director behind Edgar wright, and this is my favorite flick of his, before I saw hateful eight, which is my favorite of his and my recommendation. Spartan said he likes more serious toned movies. Tarantino’s earlier movies kinda took themselves more seriously, and he fell into his style in his later years and really embraced the wackiness.
If you enjoy change in style and tone the way Tarantino does it, you guys would most definitely have a blast with “Parasite”. Korean drama/thriller/comedy that won best picture couple years back. Really got me into Korean cinema as a whole. They’ve got some wildly entertaining stuff. 😁❤️
Two movies into the Tarantino catalogue and you guys are not even turning away from the blood bath violence. ----- Tarantino does turn things up to level 12. --------- Now the scalping action and noises is something so personal and close up. Most people can't even take that. ------ Still, I can feel the Tarantino intensity soaking into the bones of Pudgey and Spartan. Love it.
I don’t believe that pistol that he had in the beginning scene could’ve shot that far… I could be wrong. and they made Hitler look like a paranoid moron because that’s exactly what he was😂 intelligent but still paranoid moron
Hitler was never that smart. He was very eloquent. In the end of the war his mind was grasping at straws with the amount of drugs he was taking on a daily basis
How the hell have you not been taught WW2 history????? Am I crazy???? This is the most important historical event in the modern times. It has shaped so much of the politics of Europe and the world and led to the establishment of the UN and NATO. It really, really, REALLY needs to be taught in-depth to absolutely everyone worldwide. The fact there is a slow march towards fascism and authoritarians right now today and people can't even realise it is scary - this is the reason. If you don't syudy and learn history you are doomed to repeat it. Like Spartan says "WOW they were hunting Jews in France?". Countries around Europe rounded up their Jewish populations willingly and shipped them to the Nazis for extermination. Please study WW2 if you haven't already
if I learned about WW2 in school in a small town in Wisconsin starting when I was about 12 years old, then I am sure they learned it in school in Australia too.
24:09 I love this scene. It kinda sets the tone. Landa does his research. We don't know how he knows, but him ordering the milk is only the first statement. This is all a game to him. You play the game and he will let you keep playing. You don't play the game? You die. She played the game. Didn't flinch. He also ordered something extra for the pie. That thing he ordered wasn't kosher. That's why he didn't let her eat until the cream came, cuz it was pig cream or whatever lol but that was another part of the game. Not a jew eh? Well then eat this thing jews cannot eat. And she did. So while he knows, as long as you can keep up with his cherade in an entertaining way, he won't end the game. When Hammersmark says "What do we do now?", she stopped playing the game. She crumbled. She stopped pretending, so Hans stopped pretending. You want Hans to keep pretending.. lol
The thing is, Landa knew they were going to lose the war. In our actual history, the Germans were getting destroyed by the 40's, since the Axis was liberating areas and gaining territories, and had superior weaponry like tanks. Landa saw the writing on the wall and cut the deal to save his skin and benefit. He was a very sharp detective after all.
It was the Allies liberating areas, not the Axis. German tanks were better then the American tanks (and much better then the French tanks). Germany was losing because they were spread too thin, their campaign in Russia was a disaster, they ran out of oil and other supplies, and Hitler was a bad strategist and super high making bad decisions.
Yeah they knew, by this time they were running from mothers of murdered men and boys in Russia. You should read about the eastern front; it’s amazing what people can do when cornered and it’s life and death
@@Harkness78 Hitler made one big mistake and that was underestimating Russia. Japan screwed up by giving America the excuse they needed to enter the war. It's difficult to defend the idea that Hitler was a bad strategist considering he was very close to conquering all of Europe and had a large chunk of Russia along with some other areas.
When Tarantino wrote the film and created Landa's character, he knew he had a bit of a problem. He had to find an actor who could speak four languages, German, English, French, and Italian. As the date for the production neared and the cast filled up, Tarantino could not find anyone to play Hans Landa. It was about when Tarantino would have no choice but to pull the plug and halt the film's production because if he couldn't find Landa, he would have no movie. The last person he saw was Christoph Waltz. He had all of the qualities Tarantino needed. Waltz was so good that he won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor...a feat he would pull off again under Tarantino's direction a few years later with Django Unchained, playing Dr. King Schultz. Melanie Laurent (Shoshanna Dreyfus/ Emmanuelle Mimieux) has starred in quite a few English-language films since Inglorious Basterds. I recommend the wonderful drama Beginners with Ewan McGregor and Christopher Plummer and the very cool magic thriller Now You See Me with Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, and Mark Ruffalo. Sgt Donnie Donowitz, aka The Bear Jew, was played by actor-director Eli Roth (best known for the Hostel horror films). However, the role was originally written for and was to star Adam Sandler. Sandler had to drop out due to a scheduling conflict. If you didn't know, General Fenech, who briefs Hickox about Operation Kino, is Canadian comedian-actor Mike Myers (Wayne's World and Austin Powers). Diane Kruger (Bridget von Hammersmark) and Michael Fassbender (Archie Hickox) speak German fluently. Diane was born in West Germany in 1976 (before the Berlin Wall fell) but has been in English language films since Troy in 2004, which starred Brad Pitt as Achilles and Kruger as Helen of Troy. Michael was also born in West Germany in 1977, but raised in Ireland (Mom is Irish, Dad is German). The funny thing is, when they mention his "odd accent," most Germans will remark on Fassbender's accent...it is not a natural German accent, as it has Irish inflections. Quentin Tarantino shows up in two scenes: The first scene is him as a dead Nazi getting scalped. The second scene is just his hands around Diane Kruger's neck as Bridget von Hammersmark is being strangled by Hans Landa because Christoph Waltz apparently was "not choking her properly" for the scene.
Hey Pudgey and Spartan, Christophe Waltz exhibits such material change in personality during the opening scene. As he switches from calm conversation to intense interrogation. ------- Then we are taken under the floor boards to understand the gravity of the situation. We know the farmer is being walked into the Jew hunters trap. Intense for sure
Hans Landa wasn't exaggerating. He really was a great detective. So great of a detective that he realized Germany couldn't possibly win the war by this point (1944). So great that he determined the Allies would hold war crimes trials after hostilities ceased to punish the Nazis who were most responsible for carrying out the Final Solution. He knew he'd almost certainly be a high priority target among the victorious Allies for his role in the Holocaust. The best way for him to escape these unavoidable war crimes trials- and their subsequent executions that would be sure to follow -would be for him to switch sides now. Based on the fact he was so effective in his duty of finding and killing Jews, he'd have to provide the Allies with something enormously valuable in order for them to consider accepting into the fold a man who's responsible for countless crimes against humanity. Thus, he ended the war entirely by killing the Nazi upper echelon.
And there’s precedent for this in reality. The US brought a lot of German scientists and engineers over after taking Germany to work for the US government, effectively shielding them from punishment after the war. Russia did the same, and I’m sure others did as well.
What is consistent with Tarantino's movies regardless of genres, is the chracters' depth and their interactions. It's always intense and interesting even if they are just talking about the most mundane shit.
32:31 Hicox made a mistake by making the three-finger order wrong. Hicox made the gesture with the index, middle, and ring fingers, while in Germany (and other Western European countries) they count three with the thumb, index, and middle finger. just a theory but I think he knew they were lying all along
Interesting fact....The scene where Landa chokes Von Hammersmark to death. Tarantino wanted the scene to appear very authentic. Typical Tarantino. So he was to actually choke the actress Diane Kruger, to the point of her almost passing out. The actor Christoph Waltz did not feel comfortable doing this. So Tarantino had to do the choking scene himself. So the hands you see are actually Tarantino's.
Yea, not a fan of how he uses his movies to do stuff like that. Like casting himself to say the n word a hundred times in pulp fiction. He is a great filmmaker though
@@StinkyBuster He actually said it about 4 times in Pulp Fiction. So not quite a hundred times, but I get your point. I think he took more crap for how many times the N word was said in Django, than Pulp Fiction. But it's a movie, and it was probably actually accurate to how people were talking back then, so I don't fault him for that. He's a brilliant filmmaker, there is no doubt about that.
What you have to understand about this movie is that at its core it’s a cathartic revenge fantasy. And really a cathartic gift to the Jewish community. As well as a gift to cinema lovers of course
It helps to know that King Kong was only the BIGGEST FILM IN THE WORLD back in 1944 when the Gestapo officer correctly guessed it playing the drinking game in the tavern basement. King Kong was the first Fantasy film ever, and the first movie that pioneered visual effects in film history. Everybody watched it. It was the original Star Wars or Lord of the Rings. Also, I think Tarantino included it because King Kong was Adolf Hitler's favorite movie.
It's not that the Jew Hunter isn't proud of what he's done, it's that he's a survivor who sees the writing on the wall - that the Germans are going to lose the war, and he doesn't want to go down with them. He's a true and pure Sneaky Snake for sure.
The thing about the bar, why the german soldier knew the one who was ordering the glasses wasn'T german... He pointed "three" with his fingers. He did it with his index finger, middle and ring finger. This is how Americans and based on your reaction I guess Australians too point "three". Here in germany, if we point "three", we use out thumb, middle and index finger. That's why he knew the guy wasn't german.
they say they did not, but I would bet that is a load of bullcrap, they just did not pay attention, to any of it apparently. both are dumber than a box of really dumb rocks.
I'm Aussie and around their age and can say while I did learn about it, we mostly focused on Gallipoli & the Anzacs. Yes, I'm aware that's WW1. But that was a big deal for our country so it draws more focus. The stuff we did learn about WW2 was more about the Japanese attempted invasion & disruption of supply of our country & allies. Such as the attacks on port Darwin. We tended not to focus too much on the American side. Almost all I've learnt about Normandy or similar events have been researched myself. I can't speak for Spartan & Pudgey, but I'd bet they had a similar experience as I did.
@@josey6231 Ooooh okay that makes a lot of sense. Not every school has the exact same curriculum especially in very different parts of the world. Thank you 🙏
Well as an Indian I learned nothing about ww2 in any level of academic,, granted I studied biology in college and uni level,, but I still have a basic level understanding of ww1 and ww2 .
How did you guys not study WWII in school? It was the largest war in history, and it just happened recently. My grandfather was a Canadian soldier who volunteered for the war when he was around 20. He was stationed in England and fought in France against the Nazi invaders.
I said this somewhere above: I'm a few years older than S&P (I'm also from Sydney whereas they're from Melbourne), but WW2 was taught to us.

I'm canadian, and they never taught me anything about any world wars. I guess you'd learn about it at college or university? I learned it all from watching documentaries and youtube videos. The only thing I remember learning from history was trying to remember the dates that women got the right to vote or whatever and knowing that this information would never be useful in life ever. I did not remember the dates lol
Well I wouldn’t expect certain nations to teach about WWII so much, but Australia should be one of the top ones that *does* emphasize it. That’d almost be like it France didn’t learn about WWII or something.
Great reaction. This and Jackie Brown are my two favourite Tarantino films. He has a recurring idea in some of his stories where a murderous killer will always leave one survivor so they can tell a firsthand accounting of the horror they witnessed. In other words, Hans Landa and Aldo Raine both want their violent reputations to precede them. They're trying to make themselves into legends.
A person appears to be passionate about his job as well as being very good at it, does not necessarily mean he is loyal to the cause. Plus, his loyalty was never portrayed throughout the film. It is easy to be confused with those two. When the choice between self-interest and his country is offered, you'd be surprised how many will not hesitate to choose the former, let alone a character as crafty as Hans Landa.
Also they show Landa to be a completely despicable person. The taunting, bragging, misogyny, just mean spiritness in his character. Of course someone like that is only concerned for #1 and would betray his own country as soon as it became the best option.
"Tarantino did not misspell the title to differentiate his film from the 1978 movie by the same name. He said it instead was a creative decision which he initially refused to explain, simply saying that "Basterds" was spelled as such because "that's just the way you say it".
Definitely a masterpiece! The characters, the dialogue, the actors and the languages. Did you notice that Christopher waltz was in Django as well? And you missed your boy baron Ximo from marvel as Zollar
I'm convinced that this is Tarantino's greatest work, never to be topped. Every frame is perfect; the music is great (especially the use of Bowie as Shosanna is dressing for the premiere (by the way, she is a nod to the wife in The Last Metro played by Catherine Deneuve), the cast is first rate and Waltz definitely earned his Oscar. . .never is Landa more dangerous than when he's being charming! This is the movie that puts Trantino into the Kubrick stratosphere.
We spell it -ARD but when we say it it sounds like -ERD. I think the mispelling in the title is just meant to convey that these guys are not the brightest crayons in the box, but that they've got heart and confidence.
"He's letting her go?" First, it is extremely difficult to hit a moving target with a pistol at that distance. Second, she is far enough away that running after her would make him look undignified. Third, he takes great pride in his ability to find people and welcomes the challenge. Fourth, he respects her for getting away from him.
Probably my favorite of Tarantino’s films Kill Bill has two movies and is more “linear” compared to other of his works I also recommend Pulp Fiction, one of the movies that really put Tarantino on the map
Yuuuuus, was looking forward to this reaction. Hopefully District 9 and Ex Machina eventually get reactions too lol. The members are probably already on it :).
landa liked the job, but he didn't care who he worked for. Remember his hawk vs rat story. He doesn't care, he just wants to be good at his job. And he was noticing how the cards will fall and that german defeat is coming. So he decided to take an easy way out.
Tarantino's characters are so much fun to watch. Thats why people loves his movies so much, because the characters are relatable and their dialogues are so much fun. That scene with Landa in the cinema explaining to an "Italian" how to speak Italian is pure comedy, then he congratulates to the 3rd guy for saying his name well. Such a great scene. Christoph Waltz is smooth and amazing as usual, making a despicable character actually charming and likeable.

The performance of Christoph Waltz as Colonel Hans Landa, is one of the greatests ever. What an amazing character. Terrific and smart as hell.
He is so good because he doesn´t play it scary...and that makes him scary as hell...Probably the best bad guy ever to play in a Tarantino movie...most likely one of the best bad guys ever

@@tanelviil9149 Yes, some plastic surgery and you just got a straight scar. Landa did land (!) a good deal in the end.
Landa knew the war was close to over and if Germany lost he would be on trial for war crimes. He was in a position to give up the entire German command to save his own ass. He didn't have a sudden change of heart about his job, he just didn't want to spend the rest of his life in jail or get executed for his role in the SS.
Correct.
Landa was all about self-interest over ideology, or loyalty for that matter.

It wasn't that he wanted Hitler to lose, it was he suspected he would, and best to get on the good side of the allies now.
This was relatively late in the war (1944), Landa could absolutely see the writing on the wall and knew defeat was coming. He wanted to bail and also get a sweet set up in America and be regarded as a hero.
@@patrickwaldeck6681 Honestly, most people in the SS and higher ups could tell the war was impossible to win after USSR moved against them, also Hitler made so many dumb mistakes like declaring war on America after Pearl Harbor.

Hey guys, just an FYI this insanely incredible movie was almost never made.. Quintin wrote it about 4-5 years before but he couldn’t find a Hans Landa he wanted… he wanted a man who really could speak… English, German , French and Italian he didn’t want the actor to have to have extra training for the movie because of the intensity…. Enter meeting a king lol….the incredible Christoph Waltz!! Also the opening scene in the farmers house is now taught in film school as how to correctly build tension and rightfully so!!! Take care!

Such a short exchange but got me so bad I almost had to excuse myself from the theater I was laughing so much
“Oh the SS.. thats no good” so obvious but delivered so innocently from Spartan that its actually hilarious. Yall definitely didnt go to school on ww2 lol
It sure makes their reaction to the whole movie so unorthodox 😭
Col. Landa was so good, you guys forgot you loved him in Django.
chilling detail for those that don't speak French, in the opening scene right before the Dreyfuss family is killed, Landa says "adieu" which is used when you don't expect to see someone again, and as Shosanna is running away he instead uses "au revoir" which is more like saying see you soon
The look on Pudgey's face when Christoph starts speaking fluent Italian in the face of the non-existent Italian language by the Basterds team. It simply blew her mind. ------- It's such a shocking contrast of cultures, especially when faced with the danger of an undercover espionage mission. Just Love it.
Christoph Walz got an audition for such a big role because they were looking for an actor who speaks native German and is fluid in English, French, and Italian. And there's just not a lot of actors who can do all four, so it didn't matter that he wasn't a big star yet.
@@Yora21look, Christoph gave a criminal performance. LOCK HIM UP BECAUSE HE STOLE THE SHOW!!!
I think that the funnier part was seeing that Spartan had no idea they had even changed languages until he noticed Pudgey's hand over her mouth 🤣

@@danielg6566 totally agreed
Landa never technically saw Shoshana's face (she was running away, so he only saw the back of her). Also, Landa turned because he knew the war was coming to an end, and saw an opportunity to cash out his chips by handing Hitler & his high command to the Basterds.

So according to Christoph Waltz his character for sure KNEW she was Shoshana. He didn't need to kill her, knowing where she was and the fact that he can find her was enough for him.
But that could also be Christoph just making his character more likable then he even was.
One thing is sure, every scene with him in was very tense!
Well written and well acted! Bravo!

Here's a crash course to Quentin Tarantino's film style:
1) He builds tension through the plot or, more likely, dialogue. He builds and builds and builds and builds the tension until...
2) He resolves that tension through a sudden burst of over-the-top, almost cartoonish violence.
2a) He usually uses humor in either the dialogue OR the violence. And it's okay to laugh at it. In fact, that's sometimes the point.
3) He is terrific at writing naturalistic dialogue, and oftentimes his characters are people on the fringes of society (criminals, gangsters, hitmen, assassins, etc.)
4) He likes using tropes, especially Mexican standoff, sudden zooms. And his characters very often have alliterations for names.
5) His favorite genres are martial arts movies, westerns, blaxploitation, and B-movies.
6) He writes his scripts much like books/novels, using "chapter" headings, title overlays, and he likes to tell his stories out of sequential order.
7) He has a foot fetish. Once you are aware of that, you can't be un-aware of it.
***Before you get around to watching "Once Upon A Time In Hollywood", please do some cursory research about the Manson murders. It'll help contextualize the film better for you.
41:25 you skipped over the best part of the scene!
The third best ‘I don’t speak Italian’ guy: Domenic Decoco
Landa: “encoré?”
“Dominic Decoco”
Landa: “Bravo”
agreed. except it’s the Italian word “ancora” (meaning again/still/yet) …not encoré
55:28 "most unique, wackiest, unpredictable director" 😂 Well next stop PULP FICTION.
No one does dialogue like Tarantino does. Opening of this film is a masterclass of tension building and they're just talking.
The tavern scene is the best. Michael Fassbender is wonderful.
The Captain was Michael Fassbender. He's been in a lot of movies, but he was one of the Spartans in 300. Spartan should have recognised his brother
They also should have recognized him from Band of Brothers, which they're watching currently too.
He is more known for aghata cristie work bruh
Also, he was David in Prometheus
He is no Spartan... He is a sissy

Hey Spartan and Pudgey, you know when milk becomes a weapon in disguise to relax the audience yet create tension in a simple conversation is another way to engage the Tarantino writing genius. ------- Christophe Waltz pace and timing pull off the intensity perfectly. -------- What an amazing scene.
Spartan is so oblivious sometimes lmfao
"Oh SS, this is bad news"
"Wow they're hunting them down in France too?!" XD
He also pronounced Reich like the first part of the name Rachel

@@TheGabrielPT XDDDDD
12:00 - That was actor "Rainer Bock". He would go on to play "Werner Ziegler" in the Better Call Saul series. Most people don't recognize him here.
32:37 In mainland Europe when show 3 fingers we do Thumb, index and middle finger. But British do the 3 middle. I'm not sure how they do it in the US and Australia but it def sticks out as weird to non Brits in Europe, such amazing writing!
Also Fassbender's German is good but his R's sounds unusual because he rolls them too much, and doesn't sound like any known regional dialect so it sounds like he isn't a native speaker. Brad Pitt's Italian on the other hand was flawless 🤣
As someone who is into linguistics, this film is a masterpiece when it comes to using accents and language.
In Russia we also show three middle fingers to show "three", with bent thumb and pinky, it was quite a discovery for me that German "three" means thumb, index and middle finger, honestly, I don`t lie.
@@MariaStarkTargaryen that's interesting! I wonder where the difference comes from. For me three middle fingers feel very weird (Swedish)

@@recon_ron7746 oh yea! I've seen that in restaurants I think! Pinkie to middle right?
The brutality of the bar scene is the blood bath we have come to expect from the mind of Tarantino. The lead up of tension from a simple conversation is the classic Tarantino style of writing.
S&P Moderator!!! (No Spoliers)
If they do get around to watching “Once upon a time in Hollywood” I think beforehand you might wanna have a very small historical mention albeit from a newspaper artlice or tv news clip about the “incident that happened to “you know whom’ so that spartan and pudgy get a better grasp beforehand and understand the huge difference those events made in 1969 American psyche. Just my 2 cents. Enjoyed reaction by the way.❤️
Tarantino is a master at the use of dialogue to build tension. Waltz opening scene is a master class in Interview and Interrogation.
49:20 No. It’s cuz he knows well enough they’re gonna lose the war. All he’s doing securing his future & avoiding the jewish tribunal for his crimes.

Meanwhile, he *ALSO GUESSED WRONG.*

It's the third time you spam this message.
Schindler's List is a *true story* and you're not going to convince anyone that the horrors of the Nazi concentration camps were a "Hollywood fantasy".
You Nazi scum.
Great reaction like always, Love this movie, there are some fun-facts about it. In the beginning of the movie when Landa is meeting the entire family he does something sneaky, when he is shaking their hands of the daughters, but if you look closer at his hands what he is really doing is checking their pulse to see who be nervous, this little details are awsome.
The scene where Landa speaks Italian flawlessly and Aldo’s Tennessee accent radiates “Not Italian At All” energy is not how it was scripted. He was written to be extremely fluent and competent at it, but Brad Pitt convinced Tarantino to let him try it that way. In the end, Tarantino agreed that he shouldn’t blend in because, as he put it, “the plan they cobble together is fucking dumb.” It only succeeds because Landa wants it to succeed, it should not work… and the accent just rams home just how dumb the plan is. The character of Hans Landa was a stumbling block for him to get the movie made in the first place. He thought he’d written a character that no actor could play.
He has to speak, in order, French, English, German, and Italian fluently, be charming and terrifying at the same time, and appear to be a brilliant detective, a nazi version of Sherlock Holmes (that’s why he has the large pipe in the first scene, it’s a reference to Holmes’ pipe).
Thank goodness for Christoph Waltz who steals every scene he’s in. And another fun-fact trivia. Since puff pastries (what strudels are) during WWII were made with pig lard (not Kosher) due to wartime butter shortage, Landa's choice of dish for Shosanna could be seen either as a test to see if she's Jewish (as she'd normally reject the food) or he knows who she is and is forcing her into eating non-kosher. Keep up the good work.
Jew here. The pastry wouldn't be kosher regardless. And judging by Shoshana's behavior throughout the rest of the movie I don't think she be bothered by eating non-kosher. If that was Tarantino's intention behind that scene it's somewhat misguided.
I was surprised neither one of you recognized Mike Meyers ❤
This is a masterpiece. Cristoph Waltz is a GOAT.
Great reaction.
There's a degree of nuance in some scenes you seem to have missed.
Make no mistake: Landa knew the whole time where the Jewish family was hiding, probably before he set foot on the farm. Their fate was sealed. I think Landa just wanted the sick pleasure of forcing the Frenchman (LePedite) to confess.
So LePedite didn't really rat the Jewish family out so much as he did the only thing he could to save his own family.
Remember, the Nazis controlled France at the time, having destroyed their military and also conquered half of Europe. They would have seemed unstoppable.
LePedite was just a farmer. He and his daughters would have been killed alongside the Jewish family if he hadn't admitted to hiding them.
Would we have done the same in his position? I don't know, and hope never to find out.
Seeing nuances is not their strong suit.
"Was I not correct?" No, actually you weren't correct. 🤣
I think Kill Bill would be more to Spartan’s liking, to be honest. Jumping into your discussion, I believe Landa kills von Hammersmarck because he simply couldn't tolerate a German traitor. It's one of the rare moments in the movie where he truly loses his composure and shows real emotion. This moment feels personal to him, which is why he chooses to strangle her rather than just shoot her. It could be argued that this is ironic, given that he betrays the Nazis in the end. However, I see it less as irony and more as Landa always playing the winning side.
i’d love to experience watching the opening and the bar scene for the first time again, just so well done!
Waltz has two of the most earned Oscars ever. World class actor.
Someone mentioned the dessert Landa eats with Shoshona is cooked in lard, which is not kosher. Forcing her to eat it was an extra jab, I suppose.
The movie was supposed to be a bit longer.
A few scenes with the Basterds assaulting German checkpoints and such were cut, and only used for quick cutaways.
That's also why, by the time the tavern scene begins, their numbers have already gone down from 11 (including Stiglitz and Hicox) to 9, with Sakowitz and Zimmerman dying off screen.
Kagan and Hirschberg instead are still alive in the vet office after the tavern shootout, but they don't appear in the final part of the movie.
This means that they either died in another cut scene between the vet office and the cinema or they just escaped capture when Utivich was captured, and survived the whole ordeal.
Landa flipped because at this point in the war, Germany was already losing and as sharp as he was, he saw Germany was not going to win. He saw a chance to come out ahead and took it.
Aldo Raine's comment at the end is a comment with double meaning. "I think this is my masterpiece" ------- It applies to both the forehead mark and to Tarantino:s writing and direction. Amazing again by Tarantino,. Great reaction.
How did you guys not realize that Hans Landa is played by the same actor as Dr. Schultz from Django
dumber than a box of really dumb rocks.
"Oui, Shoshana."
Gives me chills, to this day. And Shoshana's laughing face, projected onto the billowing smoke, was such an amazingly striking visual.

they just dumber than a box of really dumb rocks
It is.
I'm a few years older than S&P (I'm also from Sydney whereas they're from Melbourne), but WW2 was taught to us.
However, it was mainly the Pacific Theatre that we learnt about, as it affected Australia directly. Maybe the North African campaigns too, as Aussies fought there on behalf of the Brits.
Unless you went on to study Modern History as an elective, you didn't learn much beyond the above and the Vietnam War.
Then there's also the fact that not everyone pays attention to class at that age. 😂
I remember we learned a lot about WW1, can't remember learning Jack about WW2 in school but
Wait, so no one recommended Quintin Tarantino's defining 'Pulp Fiction'? In for a treat.
Im Polish Slav... I've no love for Hitler... Christoph waltz is such an incredible actor in this.... just like he was in Django.....he "flips" at the end because he's smart and he knows the Germans are about to lose WW2...and Americans will follow the Geneva convention..if he cooperates he could very well walk away without facing the firing squad....he was just protecting his ass ..

Hey Spartan and Pudgey, I love your insight with Tarantino's themes of writing, in which he takes a story and shows both sides of the opposing parties. ------- He advocates for the story of the protagonist but doesn't make them invulnerable to loss and suffering. -------- On the side of the villains/ protagonist Tarantino makes them the losers but not without allowing them painful victories. Great post reaction commentary. Love it

I was eagerly awaiting this one. Seems like you two have been watching a bunch of shows I don’t care much about instead of movies, so I was happy to see this.Tarantino is my favorite director behind Edgar wright, and this is my favorite flick of his, before I saw hateful eight, which is my favorite of his and my recommendation.
Spartan said he likes more serious toned movies. Tarantino’s earlier movies kinda took themselves more seriously, and he fell into his style in his later years and really embraced the wackiness.
If you enjoy change in style and tone the way Tarantino does it, you guys would most definitely have a blast with “Parasite”. Korean drama/thriller/comedy that won best picture couple years back. Really got me into Korean cinema as a whole. They’ve got some wildly entertaining stuff. 😁❤️
Hugo Stiglitz intro makes me want a film based on him tbh
He is the most trash human in real life. he has no good reputation in germany.
Two movies into the Tarantino catalogue and you guys are not even turning away from the blood bath violence. ----- Tarantino does turn things up to level 12. --------- Now the scalping action and noises is something so personal and close up. Most people can't even take that. ------ Still, I can feel the Tarantino intensity soaking into the bones of Pudgey and Spartan. Love it.
He's a closet serial killer.
I don’t believe that pistol that he had in the beginning scene could’ve shot that far… I could be wrong. and they made Hitler look like a paranoid moron because that’s exactly what he was😂 intelligent but still paranoid moron
You took the words right outta my mouth!!! 😂
You took the words right outta my mouth about Hitler 😂
Hitler was never that smart. He was very eloquent. In the end of the war his mind was grasping at straws with the amount of drugs he was taking on a daily basis
How can he be intelligent and a moron at the same time? Way to contradict yourself
Especially at the end of the war.
How the hell have you not been taught WW2 history????? Am I crazy???? This is the most important historical event in the modern times. It has shaped so much of the politics of Europe and the world and led to the establishment of the UN and NATO. It really, really, REALLY needs to be taught in-depth to absolutely everyone worldwide. The fact there is a slow march towards fascism and authoritarians right now today and people can't even realise it is scary - this is the reason. If you don't syudy and learn history you are doomed to repeat it. Like Spartan says "WOW they were hunting Jews in France?". Countries around Europe rounded up their Jewish populations willingly and shipped them to the Nazis for extermination. Please study WW2 if you haven't already
if I learned about WW2 in school in a small town in Wisconsin starting when I was about 12 years old, then I am sure they learned it in school in Australia too.
they do teach it in Australian schools, these 2 must have skipped those classes.
24:09 I love this scene. It kinda sets the tone. Landa does his research. We don't know how he knows, but him ordering the milk is only the first statement. This is all a game to him. You play the game and he will let you keep playing. You don't play the game? You die. She played the game. Didn't flinch. He also ordered something extra for the pie. That thing he ordered wasn't kosher. That's why he didn't let her eat until the cream came, cuz it was pig cream or whatever lol but that was another part of the game. Not a jew eh? Well then eat this thing jews cannot eat. And she did. So while he knows, as long as you can keep up with his cherade in an entertaining way, he won't end the game. When Hammersmark says "What do we do now?", she stopped playing the game. She crumbled. She stopped pretending, so Hans stopped pretending. You want Hans to keep pretending.. lol
The thing is, Landa knew they were going to lose the war. In our actual history, the Germans were getting destroyed by the 40's, since the Axis was liberating areas and gaining territories, and had superior weaponry like tanks. Landa saw the writing on the wall and cut the deal to save his skin and benefit. He was a very sharp detective after all.
It was the Allies liberating areas, not the Axis.
German tanks were better then the American tanks (and much better then the French tanks). Germany was losing because they were spread too thin, their campaign in Russia was a disaster, they ran out of oil and other supplies, and Hitler was a bad strategist and super high making bad decisions.
Yeah they knew, by this time they were running from mothers of murdered men and boys in Russia.

Interesting word choice to say the Axis were 'liberating' areas 🤔
@@Harkness78 Hitler made one big mistake and that was underestimating Russia. Japan screwed up by giving America the excuse they needed to enter the war. It's difficult to defend the idea that Hitler was a bad strategist considering he was very close to conquering all of Europe and had a large chunk of Russia along with some other areas.
operation paperclip was real
When Tarantino wrote the film and created Landa's character, he knew he had a bit of a problem. He had to find an actor who could speak four languages, German, English, French, and Italian. As the date for the production neared and the cast filled up, Tarantino could not find anyone to play Hans Landa. It was about when Tarantino would have no choice but to pull the plug and halt the film's production because if he couldn't find Landa, he would have no movie. The last person he saw was Christoph Waltz. He had all of the qualities Tarantino needed. Waltz was so good that he won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor...a feat he would pull off again under Tarantino's direction a few years later with Django Unchained, playing Dr. King Schultz.
Melanie Laurent (Shoshanna Dreyfus/ Emmanuelle Mimieux) has starred in quite a few English-language films since Inglorious Basterds. I recommend the wonderful drama Beginners with Ewan McGregor and Christopher Plummer and the very cool magic thriller Now You See Me with Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, and Mark Ruffalo.
Sgt Donnie Donowitz, aka The Bear Jew, was played by actor-director Eli Roth (best known for the Hostel horror films). However, the role was originally written for and was to star Adam Sandler. Sandler had to drop out due to a scheduling conflict.
If you didn't know, General Fenech, who briefs Hickox about Operation Kino, is Canadian comedian-actor Mike Myers (Wayne's World and Austin Powers).
Diane Kruger (Bridget von Hammersmark) and Michael Fassbender (Archie Hickox) speak German fluently. Diane was born in West Germany in 1976 (before the Berlin Wall fell) but has been in English language films since Troy in 2004, which starred Brad Pitt as Achilles and Kruger as Helen of Troy. Michael was also born in West Germany in 1977, but raised in Ireland (Mom is Irish, Dad is German). The funny thing is, when they mention his "odd accent," most Germans will remark on Fassbender's accent...it is not a natural German accent, as it has Irish inflections.
Quentin Tarantino shows up in two scenes: The first scene is him as a dead Nazi getting scalped. The second scene is just his hands around Diane Kruger's neck as Bridget von Hammersmark is being strangled by Hans Landa because Christoph Waltz apparently was "not choking her properly" for the scene.
Hey Pudgey and Spartan, Christophe Waltz exhibits such material change in personality during the opening scene. As he switches from calm conversation to intense interrogation.
------- Then we are taken under the floor boards to understand the gravity of the situation. We know the farmer is being walked into the Jew hunters trap. Intense for sure
beautiful film. the cat and mouse game in chapter 4 is just Tarantino in a nustshell, great stuff.
Hans Landa wasn't exaggerating. He really was a great detective. So great of a detective that he realized Germany couldn't possibly win the war by this point (1944). So great that he determined the Allies would hold war crimes trials after hostilities ceased to punish the Nazis who were most responsible for carrying out the Final Solution. He knew he'd almost certainly be a high priority target among the victorious Allies for his role in the Holocaust. The best way for him to escape these unavoidable war crimes trials- and their subsequent executions that would be sure to follow -would be for him to switch sides now. Based on the fact he was so effective in his duty of finding and killing Jews, he'd have to provide the Allies with something enormously valuable in order for them to consider accepting into the fold a man who's responsible for countless crimes against humanity. Thus, he ended the war entirely by killing the Nazi upper echelon.
And there’s precedent for this in reality. The US brought a lot of German scientists and engineers over after taking Germany to work for the US government, effectively shielding them from punishment after the war. Russia did the same, and I’m sure others did as well.
What is consistent with Tarantino's movies regardless of genres, is the chracters' depth and their interactions. It's always intense and interesting even if they are just talking about the most mundane shit.
You guys should watch Jojo Rabbit, it's another recent world war 2 movie from Taika Waititi. it's fantastic and would make a great reaction.
might be a too smart of a film for Spartan.
32:31 Hicox made a mistake by making the three-finger order wrong. Hicox made the gesture with the index, middle, and ring fingers, while in Germany (and other Western European countries) they count three with the thumb, index, and middle finger. just a theory but I think he knew they were lying all along
Spartan resurrecting the Third "Rashe."
he is dumber than a box of really dumb rocks
Interesting fact....The scene where Landa chokes Von Hammersmark to death. Tarantino wanted the scene to appear very authentic. Typical Tarantino. So he was to actually choke the actress Diane Kruger, to the point of her almost passing out. The actor Christoph Waltz did not feel comfortable doing this. So Tarantino had to do the choking scene himself. So the hands you see are actually Tarantino's.
Yea, not a fan of how he uses his movies to do stuff like that. Like casting himself to say the n word a hundred times in pulp fiction. He is a great filmmaker though
@@StinkyBusterAny more whining you want to do?
@@StinkyBuster🙄🙄🙄
@@StinkyBuster He actually said it about 4 times in Pulp Fiction. So not quite a hundred times, but I get your point. I think he took more crap for how many times the N word was said in Django, than Pulp Fiction. But it's a movie, and it was probably actually accurate to how people were talking back then, so I don't fault him for that. He's a brilliant filmmaker, there is no doubt about that.
Fucking yikes
What you have to understand about this movie is that at its core it’s a cathartic revenge fantasy. And really a cathartic gift to the Jewish community. As well as a gift to cinema lovers of course
I am Jewish and this is one of my favorite films. Definitely cathartic.
It helps to know that King Kong was only the BIGGEST FILM IN THE WORLD back in 1944 when the Gestapo officer correctly guessed it playing the drinking game in the tavern basement. King Kong was the first Fantasy film ever, and the first movie that pioneered visual effects in film history. Everybody watched it. It was the original Star Wars or Lord of the Rings.
Also, I think Tarantino included it because King Kong was Adolf Hitler's favorite movie.
It's not that the Jew Hunter isn't proud of what he's done, it's that he's a survivor who sees the writing on the wall - that the Germans are going to lose the war, and he doesn't want to go down with them. He's a true and pure Sneaky Snake for sure.
Hahahaha jajaja
Hahahaha jajajaja
Hahaha jajaja HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA
The thing about the bar, why the german soldier knew the one who was ordering the glasses wasn'T german... He pointed "three" with his fingers. He did it with his index finger, middle and ring finger. This is how Americans and based on your reaction I guess Australians too point "three". Here in germany, if we point "three", we use out thumb, middle and index finger. That's why he knew the guy wasn't german.
It's explained in the movie.
Very honest question... Did you guys not learn about ww2 in school??
they say they did not, but I would bet that is a load of bullcrap, they just did not pay attention, to any of it apparently. both are dumber than a box of really dumb rocks.
I'm Aussie and around their age and can say while I did learn about it, we mostly focused on Gallipoli & the Anzacs. Yes, I'm aware that's WW1. But that was a big deal for our country so it draws more focus. The stuff we did learn about WW2 was more about the Japanese attempted invasion & disruption of supply of our country & allies. Such as the attacks on port Darwin.
We tended not to focus too much on the American side. Almost all I've learnt about Normandy or similar events have been researched myself. I can't speak for Spartan & Pudgey, but I'd bet they had a similar experience as I did.
I realize that I’m only five minutes into this, but he knew what the SS was.
You have me intrigued, Josh. Now I’m curious to see how this goes.😄
@@josey6231 Ooooh okay that makes a lot of sense. Not every school has the exact same curriculum especially in very different parts of the world. Thank you 🙏
Well as an Indian I learned nothing about ww2 in any level of academic,, granted I studied biology in college and uni level,, but I still have a basic level understanding of ww1 and ww2 .
Spartan, you know Fassbender from your favourite movie, he plays Stelios in 300
How did you guys not study WWII in school? It was the largest war in history, and it just happened recently. My grandfather was a Canadian soldier who volunteered for the war when he was around 20. He was stationed in England and fought in France against the Nazi invaders.
I am sure they did, WW2 history is part of the national curriculum in Australia.
I said this somewhere above:
I'm a few years older than S&P (I'm also from Sydney whereas they're from Melbourne), but WW2 was taught to us.
However, it was mainly the Pacific Theatre that we learnt about, as it affected Australia directly. Maybe the North African campaigns too, as Aussies fought there on behalf of the Brits.
Unless you went on to study Modern History as an elective, you didn't learn much beyond the above and the Vietnam War.
Then there's also the fact that not everyone pays attention in class at that age. 😂
@@heathen-heartwell they just if bit payed very much attention lol
I'm canadian, and they never taught me anything about any world wars. I guess you'd learn about it at college or university? I learned it all from watching documentaries and youtube videos. The only thing I remember learning from history was trying to remember the dates that women got the right to vote or whatever and knowing that this information would never be useful in life ever. I did not remember the dates lol
Well I wouldn’t expect certain nations to teach about WWII so much, but Australia should be one of the top ones that *does* emphasize it. That’d almost be like it France didn’t learn about WWII or something.
Great reaction. This and Jackie Brown are my two favourite Tarantino films. He has a recurring idea in some of his stories where a murderous killer will always leave one survivor so they can tell a firsthand accounting of the horror they witnessed. In other words, Hans Landa and Aldo Raine both want their violent reputations to precede them. They're trying to make themselves into legends.
A person appears to be passionate about his job as well as being very good at it, does not necessarily mean he is loyal to the cause. Plus, his loyalty was never portrayed throughout the film. It is easy to be confused with those two.
When the choice between self-interest and his country is offered, you'd be surprised how many will not hesitate to choose the former, let alone a character as crafty as Hans Landa.
A critical concept a lot of viewers seem to miss.
Also they show Landa to be a completely despicable person. The taunting, bragging, misogyny, just mean spiritness in his character. Of course someone like that is only concerned for #1 and would betray his own country as soon as it became the best option.
"Tarantino did not misspell the title to differentiate his film from the 1978 movie by the same name. He said it instead was a creative decision which he initially refused to explain, simply saying that "Basterds" was spelled as such because "that's just the way you say it".
Tarantino movies don't have a genre, they are a genre.
Definitely a masterpiece! The characters, the dialogue, the actors and the languages. Did you notice that Christopher waltz was in Django as well? And you missed your boy baron Ximo from marvel as Zollar
DAMN Waltz is one of the greatest actors I've seen. Plays a despicable villain and a delightful hero...deserves every award.
37:12 BS Spartan, you didn’t say it’s the fingers, you just said Pudgey’s theory on holding 3 vs 4 fingers was wrong. That’s not the same thing!
I'm convinced that this is Tarantino's greatest work, never to be topped. Every frame is perfect; the music is great (especially the use of Bowie as Shosanna is dressing for the premiere (by the way, she is a nod to the wife in The Last Metro played by Catherine Deneuve), the cast is first rate and Waltz definitely earned his Oscar. . .never is Landa more dangerous than when he's being charming! This is the movie that puts Trantino into the Kubrick stratosphere.
"I don't trust this guy, he's sus". We'll he's a member of the SS in full uniform. So your instincts are correct lol
I love the attention to detail. The «3» detail is my favorite scene in the whole movie.
That zipper is doing work!
only good part of the reaction
It should have taken a break at some point during the reaction.
We wish it wasn't though
Easter egg for you guys... Christoph Waltz the guy who played Landa (the ss guy who ordered the milk in the farm scene) is also the guy from django 💪🏼
We spell it -ARD but when we say it it sounds like -ERD. I think the mispelling in the title is just meant to convey that these guys are not the brightest crayons in the box, but that they've got heart and confidence.
"He's letting her go?" First, it is extremely difficult to hit a moving target with a pistol at that distance. Second, she is far enough away that running after her would make him look undignified. Third, he takes great pride in his ability to find people and welcomes the challenge. Fourth, he respects her for getting away from him.
Probably my favorite of Tarantino’s films
Kill Bill has two movies and is more “linear” compared to other of his works
I also recommend Pulp Fiction, one of the movies that really put Tarantino on the map
That's one of those oscars where everyone must've said "yeah no one else comes even close this year to this performance"
Yuuuuus, was looking forward to this reaction. Hopefully District 9 and Ex Machina eventually get reactions too lol. The members are probably already on it :).
landa liked the job, but he didn't care who he worked for. Remember his hawk vs rat story. He doesn't care, he just wants to be good at his job. And he was noticing how the cards will fall and that german defeat is coming. So he decided to take an easy way out.
It must be awkward for Martin Wuttke to receive compliments on his portrayal of Hitler.
Tarantino's characters are so much fun to watch. Thats why people loves his movies so much, because the characters are relatable and their dialogues are so much fun. That scene with Landa in the cinema explaining to an "Italian" how to speak Italian is pure comedy, then he congratulates to the 3rd guy for saying his name well. Such a great scene. Christoph Waltz is smooth and amazing as usual, making a despicable character actually charming and likeable.
