I think him putting the cigarette out on the strudel shows how he can like and cherish something so sweet then just smother it in ash and not care about it the next moment. Just a great villain.
@@memeprofessor5383 well this isn’t real life this is a movie. Every scene has been thought through with some reason to be in the movie. Somebody like Tarantino doesn’t just put random scenes in for no reason.
And made her wait for the cream too, cause it goes against Kosher tradition, consuming dairy and meat together. And the glass of milk was from the French farm visit.
This scene is so polarizing in such a unique way. On one hand, you can feel the distress Shoshana is experiencing. On the other hand, you can almost taste the damn strudel Landa is eating. Disturbing, yet satisfactory. Tarantino is a master.
The strudel and cream would have had Pork fat (lard) included as a main cooking ingredient in WW2 era, and he knew this before ordering, to test if she was jewish. He had her wait specifically for the cream, and watched her eat it without a second’s thought. Genius
@@user-op8fg3ny3j Pretty sure she didn't even realize that the cream is full of pork derivatives because she's anxious and only thinking about getting out of there .
I wanna rip that bowl out of the waiter'shand and scrape all the cream out of it with a spoon fuck the strudel..you know what? Fuck the spoon I'll use my tongue
I find it fascinating how many people don't know or even question that at every single moment in any interrogation, Hans Landa always already knows what's up. He knows that this is Shoshanna and he knew that the italians at the end were fake and he knew that the french villager at the beginning was hiding people. At every interrogation, he makes is so extremely obvious to the viewers and to the interrogated people that he knews, without actually blowing the thing, without making it "official". That way he can still keep playing with his food, and the victims have no choice but to keep playing the game, even though they know they are screwed.
Maybe the other 2 but there's no way he knows in this scene who some random jew that was hiding years later is. No way. She wouldn't have made it out alive if that were the case.
@@TonyDanza4Lyfe Here’s the proof that he knows who she is. Back then during the war there was a shortage of dairy. They would use the dairy to make the crème that tops the strudel. Hans knew who she was not only because of the milk, but the crème. In this scene, the crème isn’t made with dairy, but with pig lard, and we all know that Jews cannot eat pork. Thus testing her to see if she would eat the crème.
The sound design in this movie is very well done. Took me a few times to nail down what I loved so much, but this scene demonstrates how much impact even the chewing of food or the scraping of a cream can add to the experience.
When you're in a state of extreme terror, your body becomes more sensitive to outside stimuli, including sounds. Maybe Tarantino was trying to emulate that by putting us in Shoshanna's shoes auditorially speaking. Or maybe I'm just talking out of my ass.
I've never heard of or wanted a strudel until I've seen this scene. Now I've been craving it ever since... The sound design makes it sound extra delicious.
Sneakiest role ever: 1: ordered a glass of milk ( referring to her origins ) 2: kept referring to Marcelle in a racist way ,once she made it clear that she wants him to be more respectful towards him, just to offend her 3: kept on stressing the shit out of her during the conversation by being unpredictable 4: MADE her smoke German cigarettes
He doesn't know. A note in the script makes it pretty obvious that he doesn't know. The core of the character is his ability to make everyone give up their secrets by making them think that he already knows those secrets. That skill is what makes the character brilliant. QT would never write an OP characters that is just all knowing.
@@oliverjason so I guess that usual "I already know everything you're not telling me/checkmate" look of his he gave her at the end, was merely an attempt to make her crack and reveal something self-incriminating in any way
@@YokaiX that’s what I think. As the owner of the theater, she was a potential security risk, so he was basically testing her for a reaction, which she did not give.
1:52 I've been working on this scene for about half an hour now and he definitely misses all the cream. It's a catastrophe but Landa is a professional and after a brief glare gets over it.
It's just a dumb interpretation of mine but I really love just how dominant and intimidating he constantly was throughout the movie. Every time he entered the frame he immediately had control over the situation in some way, like holding her from eating the dessert HE ordered until the cream HE asked for came or asking for milk instead of wine. He made sure to let you know that shit goes his way and his way only. It really gave off the vibe that everyone in his presence was only really doing stuff because he allowed them to.
i know i'm late, but i also wanted to add something to the terror of it all. france in ww2 had a shortage of dairy, and to keep it short, they used pig fat as a replacement in the cream. he knew this, she knew this, and so he watches her betray her own religion by eating pork, and they both knew that as well. it's another sinister layer if you decide to believe it as canon.
@@notkevinacid holy shit.... Be it canon or personal interpretation, it's really cool how much you can get out of this movie's narrative if you look close enough
I remember watching him on German TV when I was stationed there in the 80s and 90s .... Tarantino couldn't have chosen a better actor for that part and grabbing a couple of other German actors Til Schweiger, Daniel Bruhl was really appreciative for this movie
Around 4:49, when the Colonel says he had something else he wanted to ask her, I thought he was onto her being Shosanna and was going to ask her if the milk there was as good as on the farm of Monsieur Lapadit!
Lynn Reed no way he knew. He would have done something right there. No way he would have let the german high command go into an enclosed theater of a jew whos family they had killed.
yea theres no way he knows. its just in his nature to be inquisitive. If he had known then they would never have gone to the theatre in the end where hitler dies.
I think he knew during the whole scene. I think him ordering her a glass of milk was a gesture alluding to the day of her escape. And I interpreted his stare down as the confirmation of his intuition that this is in fact Shoshannah. He likely felt tempted to address it but saw no value in ultimately outing her, nevertheless it adds tremendous tension to the scene for us the audience.
I can definitely recommend the location where this scene was made. It’s cafe Einstein stammhaus in Berlin and they have amazing food. And of course the Strudel there is also delicious. Definitely worth a visit, especially if you’re a fan of the movie cause it’s quite easy to find the spot where this scene was filmed.
@@m1co294 why is that rude? It's weird that people want to travel to that exact spot to eat strudel. Lime its going to taste better or something. Are they going to mimic how they ate it in the movie? Willl it taste better if people do all that? Lol
4:48 was brilliant. At that point we know Hans knows he's speaking to Shosanna but since he knows, a man of his status, could have her killed when ever he would like so he just fucks with her mind. We know this isn't a careless mistake, Hans is a man who never makes mistakes nor lets his targets get away for too long.
A lot of interesting words have been said about this amazing scene. The only thing about this scene that i don't think anybody has payed attention to is this particular part of the scene where he just extinguishes his cigarette in the 'oh so magnificent strudel for which he specifically invited her to that special place. That allegedly otherworldly strudel about which he was raving the entire time before it arrived. The *moment* he put his cigarette out in that strudel (imo) it tells us that he didn't give a rat's ass about the damn stinking strudel in which he ended up putting his cigarette out. He left it half-eaten and found it to be better suited as an ashtray. 5:07 So the interpretation that he just invited her to that place to just mess with her (and that the strudel was actually meaningless to him) becomes even more of a viable interpretation.
He didn't invite her there. She was there talking to the German director and Hans just happened to show up. And the strudel is a way of messing with her. Hans knows that she's the Jewish girl from the beginning but now he doesn't care. So he orders her something with pig lard and dairy in it, and even orders her a glass of milk. It's like a cat playing with a mouse instead of actually eating it.
One thing I admire about Quentin Tarantino movies like this one is that some scenes involve food and drink and sometimes smoking. As a director Quentin likes to make all of these things fit into a movie amongst the actors and their performances. Pretty sure he likes to use more than one boom mic so that at close proximity every piece of sound is picked up including the sounds of actors swallowing drink or munching/chewing on food. It makes the viewers feel they're inside the film itself.
@Raymond Yes, she is from a milk farm, farm where he discovered her as a child and her family to kill them with the SS but she succeed to flee. That's why he says, don't forget the cream... and also that for her, she'll take... A Glass of Milk, not a coffee.
I love that he exactly knows who she is, how much she's been suffering already during that scene and her life, and how much she's suffering right then and enjoys the moment of her pain as long as possible so that it wouldn't become obvious that he knows everything. Also his stare at her, that cold stare of knowledge about the current situation. Brilliantly done, brilliantly acted, great scene
@@asjakfkeow5803 He absolutely does. The glass of milk is a first hint where you can't be sure yet (could be coincidence), but the ending where he "forgets" what he wanted to ask... As if a character like Landa would forget what he wanted to ask. Interrogations are his job for f's sake
@@asjakfkeow5803 That cream probably had dairy products in it. But I'm stupid, like yourself, and because Tarantino hasn't confirmed it, cannot be true!
He was absolutely terrifying! So well written. That perfect balance of, "Oh he knows!......wait....does he know?.....Oh he knows!.....well?....." Had me on the edge of my seat! And man if I don't want me a large apple strudel with lots of cream! 😋😋😋
This character is like a snake, you feel tense near him because you know hes dangerous, every word he spit is poison and always like to play with his food...Perfection!
Inspired by this scene, I put an apple strudel into the toaster oven to warm it up, then I scooped some vanilla ice cream and put it on top of the warm turnover. Then I drizzled some caramel sauce over everything. I made sure to have a dollop of ice cream in every bite. One of the best desserts I've ever eaten.
Did you make loud chewing noise like Waltz did abd make sure the fork was clacking on your teeth? I find it weird that you enjoyed your desert more by watching this scene then if you hadn't. Why is that?
@@mrpumpkem2454 I find it strange how ice cream and a toast apple strudel was one of the best desserts cowboy ever ate just because he ate it probably while watching the scene. I don't get it. Lol
@@danceswithcomicbooks7733 idk maybe some people just enjoy the food more after watching the scene but it doesn’t mean you can act rude (sorry for bad English)
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.
It's a testament to the quality of work put in by the screenwriters, director and actor how intimidating and powerful a villain can be on screen without being big or monstrous-looking, instead highlighting his unsurpassed intelligence and cunning. Hans Landa is probably the best villain of modern cinema after Bloodnofsky.
I have watched this movie 100 times and Landa is incredible. One of, if not , the best villain in cinematic history. Every time the order the strudel and cream and espresso... I never, ever have any of that shit in my house so, I eat a Pop Tart with cool whip and a cup of coffee. Taste like shit but then again, I'm just a fan
The reason why this acting is so great is right from the body language, the eye expressions, the manner in which he smiles & the convincing face talking with such conviviality hiding his true intentions but knowing exactly what's happening & trying to play the opposite person emotions is just terrifying & tense to watch.
the way he knows from the jump and just toys with her is insane. "wait for the cream" if you weren't convinced he knew her after the milk, this part should have sealed it.
Never noticed the way he linger for just a fraction of a second too long after her answer when he ask her "May I call you Emmanuelle?" at 01:35. This scene is absolutely perfect.
Melanie Laurent doesn't get enough credit here. She plays off of Landa's imperiousness so perfectly, showing in her expression a whole wide range of emotions, of fear, indignation, repression, concealment, exasperation, annoyance
One of the best examples of Tarantino's ability to make an extended two way dialogue scene absolutely enthralling. It doesn't hide from being lengthy yet avoids becoming boring and tedious; rather, it uses the length to draw out and elicit Emmanuel's and the audience's discomfort more and more.
The scary part about him is his calm demeanor. He's not showing his power through dominance, like your typical bad guy would. He's polite and caring, and speaks calmly, which just adds to the suspense of when he's gonna call your bluff and let you know when you're going to die. Terrifying.
He stared right into her soul, knowing who she was and all the mental warfare he played just to test her nerve. Now that's called acting. Christopher Waltz literally owned the whole movie, period.
I have a very distinct memory of watching this in the theater with my mother. She is always quiet and makes no sounds there, shuts her phone off, shushes loud moviegoers, whole nine yards. I remember that when this scene came up and he ordered milk for her she audibly gasped. Takes a truly talented director to do something like that.
The diner scene in Reservoir Dogs, Big Kahuna burgers, the white cake in Django Unchained, this Strudel scene. Tarantino not only wants us to see and hear his movies, he wants us to taste them too.
She was hiding on a dairy farm, hence he orders milk, just like he did at the cabin, by not officially recognizing her, she will agree to almost anything. This is why he also leaves her alone when he exits the restaurant. The whole film is genius.
ANYONE who has had an apfelstrudel anywhere in Europe, KNOWS the importance of the semi-sweet-rich-cream that is served on top...! This scene is one of my favorite (of many) Tarintino scenes ... Hans KILLED it..! :)
The fact that Shosanna felt relieved that she did not blew her cover after Landa left, is the proof that Landa did not know her real identity. She is the 'rat' and intuitively she knew she had passed his 'interrogation' so she did not need to run for her life. This being the only and last scene of their close encounter is quite self-explanatory, Quentin is really brilliant to make the audiences overthink and debate over this scene till this day lol
This scene always make me want to jump dive into screen and steal the strudel (it makes me hungry everytime). Probably because Christoph Waltz was superb in this film.
The amount of energy to restrain oneself in front of the killer of your fam must be tremendous. I would have been like “Oh hell nah, you got me fucked up” hahaha
damn rube, you done blew the cover...lol I love it!!! "you got me fucked up!!!" boom, the whole German brigade rushing in, snatching you up for a couple body shots outside in front all the hot chicks walking by in the square. Hold it in Big Dawg. I've heard the "You got me fucked up" one too many times in my days, and the person saying it always got the bad end of the fist! Love it mang.
This scene and the opening scene are tension done about as well as you can do it. Both scenes have different outcomes but you really can't tell whether or not he knows
I was just starting eating my strudel, so I remembered this scene and went to check is it on youtube. I rewinded his sweeping of the crumbs seven or eight times! And how he picked, or rather pierced, a raisin with the fork. Beautiful, beautiful, everything.
Did you ever notice how the “Jew hunter“ use the wrong fingers to ask for two ✌🏻 strudels? I wonder if the SS officer at the bar would have questioned his heritage.
@@DD-cn3oy well, I love to inform you, that during WW2, Germany always had a problem with spies and pows hiding as Nazis. So, a lot of the time, the Germans would use their culture and deception tactics to catch enemy spies and pows. That’s why we found that odd, why the Col. put two like this “✌️” instead of the thumb and index finger.
Germans say two with index and middle fingers ✌🏻 they don't use the ring finger to say three, instead use the thumb. That's where the Captain got it wrong in the bar scene
Im surprised ive read in the comments where people think that he knows she is Shoshanna. He doesn't know it's her. He never saw her face and it was 3 years ago that she fled for her life covered in the blood of her family. In the scene where he *spoiler alert* ends Bridget von Hammersmarck's life, he casually tells her and her entourage how Mdm. Mimeaux allowed him to use her office for the evening. That's the question he was going to ask her, but Quentin decided to cut the scene, and re-shoot it as a sort of cliffhanger it sounds more 'menacing'
The strudel should have won an Oscar right there. Excellent performance :D
Yes exactly brilliant performance 😂
and the cream getting best supporting role lol
No Strudel has been harmed in the making.
It pains me that nobody is recognising the talents of the sugar in this scene... A short and sweet cameo from the young lad

Hans knows that she's the Jewish girl from the beginning but now he doesn't care.
So he orders her something with pig lard and dairy in it, and even orders her a glass of milk.
It's like a cat playing with a mouse instead of actually eating it.
And on top of that he requests her to host the film at her theatre and not have the black dude working the projector
And at the same time he says "must have not been important" alluding that he is longer interest in killing her
One thing I admire about Quentin Tarantino movies like this one is that some scenes involve food and drink and sometimes smoking. As a director Quentin likes to make all of these things fit into a movie amongst the actors and their performances. Pretty sure he likes to use more than one boom mic so that at close proximity every piece of sound is picked up including the sounds of actors swallowing drink or munching/chewing on food. It makes the viewers feel they're inside the film itself.
It makes the scene come to life for me
This scene makes me feel simultaneously terrified and hungry.
Waiter got order within a minute. He deserves an Oscar
That scene was freakin incredible!!!
Thanx for watching Brian.
@Raymond Yes, she is from a milk farm, farm where he discovered her as a child and her family to kill them with the SS but she succeed to flee. That's why he says, don't forget the cream... and also that for her, she'll take... A Glass of Milk, not a coffee.
4:47 that line, silence, and look of his nearly gave her a heart attack...
I love that he exactly knows who she is, how much she's been suffering already during that scene and her life, and how much she's suffering right then and enjoys the moment of her pain as long as possible so that it wouldn't become obvious that he knows everything. Also his stare at her, that cold stare of knowledge about the current situation. Brilliantly done, brilliantly acted, great scene
@@dontmindme6995 *exactly* ! well analyzed!
@@dontmindme6995 dude he doesnt know...and since this movie came out none of the actors, writers have said anything to say this is true
@@asjakfkeow5803 He absolutely does. The glass of milk is a first hint where you can't be sure yet (could be coincidence), but the ending where he "forgets" what he wanted to ask... As if a character like Landa would forget what he wanted to ask. Interrogations are his job for f's sake
@@asjakfkeow5803 That cream probably had dairy products in it. But I'm stupid, like yourself, and because Tarantino hasn't confirmed it, cannot be true!
He was absolutely terrifying! So well written. That perfect balance of, "Oh he knows!......wait....does he know?.....Oh he knows!.....well?....." Had me on the edge of my seat! And man if I don't want me a large apple strudel with lots of cream! 😋😋😋
No, no, no. Not large, for God's sake! Small, elegant. See the size of that fork? Of that cup and saucer? That's what makes it delicious.
Knowing the context, both of them played their role perfectly. They fully immersed themselves into their roles and became who they’re acting as.
The asmr in this scene is such a stark contrast to its contents.. genius!
Foley artist magic
This character is like a snake, you feel tense near him because you know hes dangerous, every word he spit is poison and always like to play with his food...Perfection!
I searched specifically for this scene
My favorite scene
So much detail
Inspired by this scene, I put an apple strudel into the toaster oven to warm it up, then I scooped some vanilla ice cream and put it on top of the warm turnover. Then I drizzled some caramel sauce over everything. I made sure to have a dollop of ice cream in every bite. One of the best desserts I've ever eaten.
Did you make loud chewing noise like Waltz did abd make sure the fork was clacking on your teeth? I find it weird that you enjoyed your desert more by watching this scene then if you hadn't. Why is that?
@@danceswithcomicbooks7733 dude are you going to bully everyone that talks about eating dessert
@@mrpumpkem2454 I find it strange how ice cream and a toast apple strudel was one of the best desserts cowboy ever ate just because he ate it probably while watching the scene. I don't get it. Lol
@@danceswithcomicbooks7733 idk maybe some people just enjoy the food more after watching the scene but it doesn’t mean you can act rude (sorry for bad English)
It's not the serious sir 🥱
an absolute masterpiece, he was ridiculously good in this film, and all films he’s in, top 5 actor
The way Waltz can switch languages is fantastic.
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.
Best scene of the entire movie
It's amazing how quiet this scene feels, you just expect some big burst of sound to break through it all but it never arrives
I can hardly get through this scene without craving strudel and “le creme”.
It's a testament to the quality of work put in by the screenwriters, director and actor how intimidating and powerful a villain can be on screen without being big or monstrous-looking, instead highlighting his unsurpassed intelligence and cunning. Hans Landa is probably the best villain of modern cinema after Bloodnofsky.
I have watched this movie 100 times and Landa is incredible. One of, if not , the best villain in cinematic history.
Every time the order the strudel and cream and espresso... I never, ever have any of that shit in my house so, I eat a Pop Tart with cool whip and a cup of coffee.
Taste like shit but then again, I'm just a fan
The reason why this acting is so great is right from the body language, the eye expressions, the manner in which he smiles & the convincing face talking with such conviviality hiding his true intentions but knowing exactly what's happening & trying to play the opposite person emotions is just terrifying & tense to watch.
probably the most delicious food scene in any movie I have seen in my entire life, damn I want strudel and cream now
Same with the beer scene from Django.
the way he knows from the jump and just toys with her is insane. "wait for the cream" if you weren't convinced he knew her after the milk, this part should have sealed it.
I love that the translation was not "Yes" but remained French for Oui lol 3:01
damn, that Strudel looks fantastic
Christoph waltz a legend he is, such brilliant presence and acting!
I would say Mister Waltz is among the five BEST actors of the world right now.
Oh, he's just so terrifyingly amazing in this film.
Never noticed the way he linger for just a fraction of a second too long after her answer when he ask her "May I call you Emmanuelle?" at 01:35. This scene is absolutely perfect.
Melanie Laurent doesn't get enough credit here. She plays off of Landa's imperiousness so perfectly, showing in her expression a whole wide range of emotions, of fear, indignation, repression, concealment, exasperation, annoyance
That stare at 5:00 could kill you. What class acting.
Their performance didn't hold a candle to that whipped cream, so amazing 👏👏👏
One of the best examples of Tarantino's ability to make an extended two way dialogue scene absolutely enthralling. It doesn't hide from being lengthy yet avoids becoming boring and tedious; rather, it uses the length to draw out and elicit Emmanuel's and the audience's discomfort more and more.
The scary part about him is his calm demeanor. He's not showing his power through dominance, like your typical bad guy would. He's polite and caring, and speaks calmly, which just adds to the suspense of when he's gonna call your bluff and let you know when you're going to die. Terrifying.
He stared right into her soul, knowing who she was and all the mental warfare he played just to test her nerve. Now that's called acting. Christopher Waltz literally owned the whole movie, period.
This entire "strudel scene" could act as a teaching demonstration of passive aggressiveness lol
I have a very distinct memory of watching this in the theater with my mother. She is always quiet and makes no sounds there, shuts her phone off, shushes loud moviegoers, whole nine yards. I remember that when this scene came up and he ordered milk for her she audibly gasped. Takes a truly talented director to do something like that.
The diner scene in Reservoir Dogs, Big Kahuna burgers, the white cake in Django Unchained, this Strudel scene. Tarantino not only wants us to see and hear his movies, he wants us to taste them too.
She was hiding on a dairy farm, hence he orders milk, just like he did at the cabin, by not officially recognizing her, she will agree to almost anything. This is why he also leaves her alone when he exits the restaurant. The whole film is genius.
Strudel!
The cornstone of every nutritious breakfast
he already new who she was when he said to get her a glass of milk LOL
What exactly makes people think so?
@@zaen3220
Drinking milk is not permitted for the kosher diet.
@@thecollector4332 Especially not when mixed with the lard in the cream.
ANYONE who has had an apfelstrudel anywhere in Europe, KNOWS the importance of the semi-sweet-rich-cream that is served on top...! This scene is one of my favorite (of many) Tarintino scenes ... Hans KILLED it..! :)
Amazing. Yet unforgettable scene.
One of the best scenes in the movie
This movie has the best scenes ever in history, at least 3 of them are top notch!
Never get tired of this scene.
The fact that Shosanna felt relieved that she did not blew her cover after Landa left, is the proof that Landa did not know her real identity. She is the 'rat' and intuitively she knew she had passed his 'interrogation' so she did not need to run for her life. This being the only and last scene of their close encounter is quite self-explanatory, Quentin is really brilliant to make the audiences overthink and debate over this scene till this day lol
He knows he just can’t prove that it’s her.
Nobody can't eat strudel like Christoph Waltz.
Fingers crossed nobody makes noises like that.
Been buying strudels since...
This scene always make me want to jump dive into screen and steal the strudel (it makes me hungry everytime). Probably because Christoph Waltz was superb in this film.
The amount of energy to restrain oneself in front of the killer of your fam must be tremendous. I would have been like “Oh hell nah, you got me fucked up” hahaha
damn rube, you done blew the cover...lol I love it!!! "you got me fucked up!!!" boom, the whole German brigade rushing in, snatching you up for a couple body shots outside in front all the hot chicks walking by in the square. Hold it in Big Dawg. I've heard the "You got me fucked up" one too many times in my days, and the person saying it always got the bad end of the fist! Love it mang.
This was the movie I actually got to know Waltz and loved him for this performance. Some characters really get into their roles and he is one of them.
Impressed of how fast it took for the waiters and the chefs to make those strudels, especially if they were fresh. Along with brewing the espresso. 👏👌
I love this actor he is soooooooo talented.
This is a superb piece of acting from both!
This scene and the opening scene are tension done about as well as you can do it. Both scenes have different outcomes but you really can't tell whether or not he knows
Tarantino, is low key, a master of filming yummy food.
That's death scare silence @ 4:52 carried the scene.
Shoshana was shitting bricks with a roller coster of Emotions after that.
This scene is absolutely brilliant
I was just starting eating my strudel, so I remembered this scene and went to check is it on youtube. I rewinded his sweeping of the crumbs seven or eight times! And how he picked, or rather pierced, a raisin with the fork. Beautiful, beautiful, everything.
This scene is pure ASMR 4 me.
Did you ever notice how the “Jew hunter“ use the wrong fingers to ask for two ✌🏻 strudels? I wonder if the SS officer at the bar would have questioned his heritage.
Well spotted 👍🏼
He is Austrian after all
@@Archangels_righthandboi I don't get it I no in both sences both men used the same arm but what has tht got to do with not being German ?
@@DD-cn3oy well, I love to inform you, that during WW2, Germany always had a problem with spies and pows hiding as Nazis. So, a lot of the time, the Germans would use their culture and deception tactics to catch enemy spies and pows. That’s why we found that odd, why the Col. put two like this “✌️” instead of the thumb and index finger.
Germans say two with index and middle fingers ✌🏻 they don't use the ring finger to say three, instead use the thumb.
That's where the Captain got it wrong in the bar scene
This guy is literally the best actor I’ve ever seen!!! Blown away!!!!!!!! Amazing
That stare at the end when he forgets what he had in mind ....damn 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Has the simply act of offering someone a glass of milk ever created such viewer anxiety ever before in cinematic history?
このシーンめちゃ好き
わっしも
Tarantino is a master with no equal; he can make any scene a piece of visual and auditory art.
Legend is that he accepted this role for the strudel alone.
"Wait for the cream." - evil genius.
Every scene is awesome ❤
I crave Strudel with cream now.
1:49-1:54 is ASMR :))))))
Im surprised ive read in the comments where people think that he knows she is Shoshanna. He doesn't know it's her. He never saw her face and it was 3 years ago that she fled for her life covered in the blood of her family. In the scene where he *spoiler alert* ends Bridget von Hammersmarck's life, he casually tells her and her entourage how Mdm. Mimeaux allowed him to use her office for the evening. That's the question he was going to ask her, but Quentin decided to cut the scene, and re-shoot it as a sort of cliffhanger it sounds more 'menacing'
Reading the comments just until now i understand this whole strudel escene... Damn tarantino is a psyco but a cinema genius.
Yes
