    for non French speakers, a really chilling part in the opening scene is the use of "adieu" vs "au revoir". While both mean goodbye, adieu is used when you probably won't see the person again, this is what Landa uses before the Dreyfuss family is killed. As Shoshanna is fleeing he says au revoir which is more like saying 'see you soon'

      I respectfully disagree on Waltz‘ range. Hans Landa and Dr. Schultz are quite similar portrayals to me. Regardless of one being good and the other evil. Also, many of Waltz‘ previous portryals in German / Austrian movies or TV shows are of the same type. I love his performance as Landa but find him a bit overrated.

      The whole first scene echoes what Hitchcock said about suspense: “Let us suppose that there is a bomb underneath this table between us. Nothing happens, and then all of a sudden, “Boom!” There is an explosion. The public is surprised, but prior to this surprise, it has seen an absolutely ordinary scene, of no special consequence. Now, let us take a suspense situation. The bomb is underneath the table and the public knows it…In these conditions this same innocuous conversation becomes fascinating because the public is participating in the secret.” Here. instead of a bomb under the table, it’s a family hiding from Landa.
      Now this could be a coincidental parallel, but nothing in art is accidental - especially when it’s Tarantino.

    I like how Tarantino uses language. In french "adieu" is used when you are leaving someone for a long long time and if you are unsure when you might see her or him again. "Au revoir" is used when you leave someone that you might probably see again and soon.

    I've commented this before, but this movie is made up of small details, that's why I love it so much. The Landa strudel scene in particular was so insidious, as a Jewish friend of mine once told me. During the war, pastries were made with animal lard, so the strudel would have been made with most likely pork fat. Neither that, nor the cream would technically count as kosher, it was either a test or a sort of "I know who you are, suffer" kind of moment, and truly terrifying to think about

    This brings me back: I grew up watching all these German actors on German TV. I especially always loved Christoph Walz since we share a first name and Daniel Brühl, since he was in some teen comedies which perfectly matched the experiences I had growing up. Then it was announced Tarantino was doing a movie in Germany and they announced all my favourite guys joining the cast. It was wild seeing all these people I had known for years blow up internationally because of how brilliant they were. Funny how Tarantino managed to highlight the talent these guys have more than German movie makers ever could.

      It's not too shabby! I'd buy him being from Tennessee. Brad is from some other southern state that I can't recall off the top, though I don't know how far removed he is from that. You ever see really early movies of Julia Roberts and Reese Witherspoon, they've still got their residual accents. I noticed it with Julia in "Flatliners" when she wasn't supposed to be putting on an accent after the exaggerated one of "Steel Magnolias."

    something that JUST dawned on my in the beginning Dialog: Landa says he assumes they dont understand ENGLISH and then suggest switching to FRENCH and enticiing the other guy to keep the MASQUERADE up, but MASQUERADE IS a french word so they should have understood that word and know they have been given up

    • @Moritz19081980
      @Moritz19081980 8 місяців тому +5

      Nice catch. There are actually some weird language related scenes in this movie.
      1. In the basement EVERY German should instantly realize the dialect/accent Fassbender is speaking is NOT German. Not the fingers would be the give-away, his weird German is.
      2. EVERY European should instantly realize they are NOT Italian in the cinema scene. But I guess so did Landa.
      But back to the "masquerade" topic: If we are being honest it doesn't really matter in what language they speak. Because even if the knew what they are talking about there is nothing they can do. They can try to run but then they will get shot anyway. In reality they probably wouldn't even bother with an interrogation and just storm the cellar. So the whole scene is just there to show that Landa likes to mentally torture people.

    Every time I watch this movie I think about Hitchcock talking about the bomb under the table, specially when they show the family hiding under the floor in the first scene, so it's great seeing her referencing that. She did it in a different scene but it's another great example. What I love about how tarantino uses it in the first scene is that it's not used to create tension but to escalate the tension that's been building already, just like every single thing in that scene, which is, of course, one of the best scenes ever written.

    Tarantino is my favorite Director & he’s essentially self-taught through watching film & really paying attention to what & why things work.
    He does all the best things from classic Directors, as well as borrowing from both High Brow & Low Brow.
    He has the framing of Kubrick.
    The tension of Hitchcock.
    The shocking & twists of DePalma.
    He uses the High Art of many Foreign films mixed with the “Fun” of “American Exploitation Cinema”.
    It’s always highly entertaining.
    He also trusts the audience, he never dumbs anything down, he treats the audience with respect that they will “Get it” & has the confidence in his own ability to convey it.
    He knows all the exact right beats to hit for maximum impact and is so good at PROPER subversion, not what hacks like Rian Johnson call subversion.
    QT knows how to mislead the audience into believing something will happen, then subverting with, & this is important, a PAYOFF that’s ultimately more satisfying, than what he is subverting from.
    So the audience feels more Satisfied by the subversion, not “cheated”.
    They’re so good, they seem like they were inevitable in retrospect.
    Sad that QT is only making one more film.
