That strudel scene between Hans and the girl is even worse than you think. Because of the war effort at the time bakeries in France were using pork fat in lieu of butter because of shortages. Hans making her eat a strudel was his way of digging in the knife.
That was a no brainer. This was one of the best performances I've seen by anyone not just someone in supporting role. And in back to back years I believe it happened with heath ledger joker. Two of the best acting performances ever and I think the obvious 1 and 2 of "supporting" jobs ever. I would put waltz 1 and ledger 2 I believe but that's so hard. But was definitely a good time for great performances
@@user-sr4fq9vh7f that is true. But obviously batman can't be a supporting in a movie where he's the title character. And he out-acted Bale every scene they were in together. And while brad Pitt was great. In bastards, waltz also stole EVERY SINGLE SCENE HE WAS IN. And I doubt bale would have allowed it the other way around where bale was up for supporting and ledger as lead. I'm pretty sure they just based it on top billing and call sheets/times for the most part not matter what ho has the best performance in any movie
The opening scene with Hans and the French Farmer is a master class in interview and interrogation. As uncomfortable as it makes the audience, imagine being the focus of that conversation.
I don't speak French to have found this myself but a subtlety of the opening scene that I love is that Landa says "adieu" to the man harbouring the people under the floor which means goodbye but in a way that you aren't expecting to see the person again. He says au revoir to the girl who escaped which is essentially goodbye for now... I know that's probably not spectacular to a French speaker but pretty cool to an English speaker
I'm French, and indeed, "Adieu" means "Farewell", as in "We'll never meet each other again, so Adieu my friend". Whereas "Au Revoir" literally means "To Seeing you again" ("voir" means to "see", "revoir" means to "see again"). It's a little detail that has its importance, and that is cool no matter which language you speak :)
My favourite Tarantino movie, and probably my favourite movie of all time. It's a masterclass on so many levels. I feel that Aldo Raine's closing line (and the last line of the film) echoes Tarantino's own sentiments about the film - "You know somethin', Utivich? I think this just might be my masterpiece."
@@dr.juerdotitsgo5119I recall Tarantino saying this was his masterpiece at the time he made it. He also said Landa was the best character he ever made.
Arianna automatically seeing the German officer's reactions and saying (while actually he did wrong with his fingers) he said three the wrong way. She is so good in picking up information as always. It wasn't subtle but she picks it up so easily.
@@unropednope4644 Some have, some haven't. Successful reaction channels are upfront when they have already watched a movie before. Those that play pretent usually dont't stay successful long. At least that is my observation. But suppose someone is so good at consistently creating believable "first" reactions that you can never tell that it's only acting - then that's a laudable accomplishment by itself.
That first scene with Christoph Waltz is one of my favorite bits of cinema. It is an incredible scene. Everything is filmed as if it was happy with bright colors and polite quiet conversation. but the atmosphere is intense and sinister, given both by historical context and Waltz's brilliant acting.
"Au revoir, Shoshanna!" is one of those movie lines that doesn't look like anything special on paper, but never fails to give me chills. Christoph Waltz was simply incredible in this role; easily one of the most intimidating on-screen villains I've ever seen, and yet at the same time, he's goofy and likeable. He makes you feel weird and even bad for laughing when he's funny, but that levity juxtaposed with his evil deeds actually turns his eccentricities into something twisted. He's genuinely enjoying himself, and that's the sickest part.
What makes the scene way scarier is theres two version for a French goodbye. One being goodbye and the other being goodbye I'll see you later. He used the former
Landa's "dead eyed stares" are the best parts of the movie for me. It's like someone who has you dead to rights and is giving off the sort of menacing aura that tells you your life is FIRMLY in their hands.
Love the part when Aldo asks landa if he’s going to take his uniform off cause he definitely knows from interrogating the survivors, what that meant, the look on his face is priceless
One detail you might not have realized because it was very subtle: In the restaurant where Landa orders the strudel for himself and Shoshana the line "Wait for the cream" was deliberate. He was testing her. Whipped cream at that time wouldn't have been kosher. Shoshanna being Jewish would have known that. Landa was testing her to see if she would give away the fact that she was Jewish.
him asking if she had ever tried it at all was a probing question in the first place. When she said "no" that was probably very odd for someone not to have tried it, which gives a hint that she is Jew who is (if follow their rules) unable to eat it, so he presses his inquiry further but under the guise of just being friendly with dessert. Though, he also probably knew it was Shosanna the whole time shown by ordering her milk to start with, and the entire slow play with the strudel was just him torturing her to make her feel afraid that she is gonna reveal herself (not knowing that he already knows).
@@MooseBear-ob2wh I'd agree with you, but he starts off by saying the place they're at has great strudel, so the question is really asking if she's tried their strudel.
@@OakNuggins that doesnt refute what I am saying at all? In fact, the place being known for their great strudel is part of my point. A place known for their strudels, she has lived their for years, but never tried it? Odd.
In opening scene, Landa makes three simple but brilliant things, deeming Tarantino work so precise. Like a real Bond villain, Landa drinks milk, greets only one of the daughters, the blond one, seemingly being most Arianic. And choose her to pour him some milk, meanwhile amicably holding her hand but secretly checking her pulse.
"He's kinda got dead eyes too, but I love it... maybe I'm sick?" No, that's just the wonderful and underrated Til Schweiger 🤣🤣🤣 The scene in the pub, where it transitions to Hugo getting whipped as the officer explains the rules of the drinking game, is such a great joke and Til's face sells it perfectly. He's not in a ton of American movies, but definitely check him out in SLC Punk with Matthew Lillard.
In Germany he mostly does RomComs these days - for which he absolutely sucks. So bad in fact, it has turned into a meme. However, it's movies such as this one where he shows he actually does have talent.
Hans Landa was played to perfection by Waltz. He stole the show literally with his command of the character, the body language and most importantly, using the mastery of his linguistics in several languages to unlock the psychopathic genius of Landa.
Feels like that's kind of the idea of the movie. This one and Pulp Fiction feel like the idea for the format is: "What if instead of the whole movie: we just do the good scenes, the ones people remember, and then that's the movie?"
Dude I love watching these reaction videos. It’s cool getting to see someone watch some of my favorites and react exactly as they were intended to. Great channel with cool content. Thanks for sharing and I hope you enjoyed the classic that is the Inglorious Bastards 🤙🏼😂
I'm pretty sure Hans lanza knows that it's Shoshanna because he offers her a glass of milk which puts him in compete control and he wants her to know it !
He's also testing her. If she doesn't have the nerve, any plans would fall through. At this point he's already checked out and wants to end the Reich while profiting.
Also, interesting fact, the reason he orders strudel with cream is because cream isn't Kosher in the jewish faith, so he's not fully convinced it's her until AFTER she eats it. Also, he puts his cigarette out in the cream.
@@SSD_Penumbra Cream skimmed from milk is kosher. It's cream skimmed from whey that might not be (it depends on the whey production). However, during the war the strudel probably was made with lard instead of butter, and mixing dairy with meat (which includes animal fat) is not kosher. Also worth noting that almost all Jewish religious law is suspended when needed to save a life, so she would be perfectly in the clear to ignore whether or not the food was kosher at that point. Decent chance Landa knew that and was gauging her reaction or just watching her squirm more than expecting her to try to avoid eating it.
I've seen a lot of people react to movies since I enjoy living vicariously through them watching the movie for the first time. I think you're the first person I've seen actually engage with a film using empathy as opposed to just saying, "If I was there, I'd just do x, y, z and win." Like at 12 minutes when you say you'd be too scared to show open hostility that's exactly what myself and I think 95% of humans would actually be thinking in that situation.
I'll never forget when I saw this opening night with my (now ex) girlfriend and closest friends and their girlfriends in theaters. Walking out excitedly and talking, and one of my best buddies exclaims "How could you not love a film that shows Hitler getting machine-gunned in the face?!"
I have no words for how much a love Tarantinos movies. The suspence, the beautifully filmed ultra violence that almost looks like dancing, the insane dialogue, the music, the humor and the way he can make every actor bring his a-game. It must be such a treat to work with him. Challenging, i am sure, but amazing.
1:00 This is what I appreciate about Ariana's reactions. Right off the bat, as opposed to most folks who react (or even hang out with in person) would think that through; "No SS just comes to 'hang out'." She already gets without the film needing to spell it out "Stuff is serious right now." It's perfect.
I'm not sure we watched the same film. It pretty much does spell *everything* out, even literally identifying characters, real and fictional, along with personal details!
15:20 he didn't make the UA-cam edit but the gentleman playing Churchill was Rod Taylor (famous actor who starred in Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds and the first on screen adaptation of H.G. Wells' The Time Machine). Even though it was a short role he studied Churchill's mannerisms like any professional actor. I think it was his last performance before passing away. The only part in this movie I still can't stand is the choking scene. Christoph refused to do it so the hands you see actually strangling Diane was Tarantino's. Classic! The Dirty Dozen!
one of the things I found amusing was the music score as the ending was ramping up in the cinema: the same music score found in Kelly's Heros (1968) with an all-star cast starting with Clint Eastwood!
18:02 He didn't actually say the sentence wrong, he showed his three fingers the Amercian (Edit: British) way. We Germans use our thumb-, index-, and middle finger to show the number three! Tarantino is simply a genius!
@@leonrussell9607 I know about the other actors since I live in Germany myself. My mistake though, I wrongly remembered Fassbender to be an American Lieutenant just like The Basterds.
The first time I saw this (in theaters), during the opening scene, I was sweating profusely from my palms wiping my hands off on my shorts while rocking back and forth incessantly. It is very interesting watching someone else go through a similar feeling of stress.
15:30 Thank you for doing this film. Don't think we'll see movies like this anymore. This basement bar scene is probably my favorite ever. Michael Fassbender best performance also loved him in "shame" a Steve McQueen picture
12:36 Worth noting here is that the word "Propaganda" was considered a neutral term for much of the 20th century, more or less synonymous with advertisement. It gained its negative connotations partly in relation to its use during the second World War, and the public awakening to the concept of indoctrination. Ironically, the replacement of the term "Propagandist" with more euphemistic titles like "Advertiser", "Media Specialist", or "Public Relations Manager" was, in itself, an effective work of Propaganda. Eddie Bernays literally wrote the book on the subject. He was a nephew of Freud, and employed a lot of his uncle's research to develop techniques of psychological manipulation. Notable clients of his included U.S. Presidents, and tobacco companies.
It's called "Fan Fiction", where you take actual pepole from history or characters from your favorite film and create a whole new story. I tend to look at any movie with an "alternate reality" (MCU, Star Trek) to be fan fiction, but sometimes they can be more fun because it can be anything you want. Or in this case, have the ending you want.
The smoking pipe that Hans Landa is smoking in the beginning is significant. It is called a Calabash Meerschaum, and is linked to the fictional detective Sherlock Holmes. As such, Hans Landa is seen as a type of detective in his own right as he deduces that jews are hiding in Monsieur La Pedite's house.
Werner is by far my favorite character in this movie even though he only had like 5 minutes of screen time, the fact he knew he was about to die a brutal death but yet he still refused to betray his fellow soldiers is so admirable and brave.
At the bar, when he ordered three glasses, he used three fingers but not the thumb. In that nazi age, german always used the thumb to mark a number with the hand. In that moment the nazi realized he was an impostor.
Fun Fact: The Bear Jew was offered to Adam Sandler at first but it went to Eli Roth and the narrator is voiced by Samuel Jackson On a side note, this is THE movie that made me love QT's movies. The memorable dialogue, the flashy violence, pop culture references, the ensemble cast. Everything about his movies are chef's kiss.
The way Hanz Landa looks at Frenchman’s daughters for signs of fear… the way he told the Frenchman “Please join me at your table” at THAT moment I was like Oh my god you are so done because he already knows…
OMG. Arianna's face during the movie theater massacre was PRICELESS. You could see all the wheels spinning trying to make sense of what she's seeing. Love her!
He was already committed to it. Plus he and Apatow have been dear friends since they were teens, as shown in the very opening of the movie with actual footage of them.
A lot of people find Brad Pitt's accent to be over the top but I knew a Marine from Tennessee when I was serving and he sounds exactly like Aldo Rain lol. Looked up his character on wiki and it says he's from Tennessee!
The look in Donnie’s eyes when he was shooting the nazis off the balcony. Never seen eyes so intense and focused before. Great acting all around this film.
The theory is all Tarantino films take place in the same universe and this point is where his universe veers off from our reality which is why things are so much more violent in his
Christoph Waltz was worried about hurting Diana Kruger, so for the strangling scene Quentin stepped in and the hands you see doing the choking are his instead of christoph
Another fun fact, not sure if anyone mentioned it yet, but that first solider you see getting scalped is played by Quentin Tarantino himself. He always loves to throw himself in his movies weather it be a role or tiny cameo like this one. His hands were also the ones choking Bridget von Hammersmark. He wanted it to be real yet safe, so did himself to make sure it was done right. She actually passed out during filming from the choking. Also the narrator was the one and only Samuel L. Jackson. And the actor on the phone when Hans called to make a deal was Harvey Keitel (Mr. White from Reservoir Dogs and The Wolf from Pulp Fiction)
Fun fact: when she was getting strangled, those were actually Tarantino’s hands around her neck and he was actually choking her out because he wanted to make sure it looked realistic.
The script of us god damn brilliant. Its shown well in the film but if you're a film Aficionado or you studied film that all read the script, it is mind-blowing in its simplicity also so very complex on a deeper level
Hans Landa is never more dangerous then when he's being pleasant with you. . .This, to me, is Tarantino's greatest movie: well written, great cast, and some of the best framing of shots since Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket. Plus, a Bowie song used!
“Dominick DeCoCo” I know it’s a minor line but after establishing the character as a “third best” Italian speaker he offers an almost perfect accent in comparison.
Landa absolutely knew who Shoshanna was. He was toying with her. You were correct. He loves the hunt. Christophe Waltz gave a perfect performance here. He was pure evil and charming. I enjoyed your reaction to this movie. I'm sure you figured out it was Samuel L Jackson that was the narrator.
Fun fact. The bear jew was written years ago with Adam Sandler in mind, but when production finally started, a schedule conflict meant that Tarantino instead brought in frequent collaborator and friend Eli Roth.
The scene with bad guy and Shoshanna eating lunch, very important! Because if she is Jewish, she wouldn't have ate or drank what she did. And any funny face, before she ate or drank, hw would have noticed. The helper guy to Churchill is Mike Myers, of Austin Powers and Wayne's World movies!
19:19 I WAS SO ANGRY AT HER! (Im a german btw and the film was brilliant) BUT WHY DID SHE SHOOT THE GUY WHO JUST HAD A FUCKING BABY! I WAS SO HAPPY WHEN SHE DIED!
I love this movie, and the opening scene, especially. Your reactions are very intuitive, I'd like to see you react to Basic (2003) with John Travolta. The entire movie is an interogation, and to say it gets tense is grossly understating things.
Regarding the historical liberties taken with the subject matter, I actually got to attend a screening of this at JTS in NYC. There was a panel discussion afterward which included the film's producer, Lawrence Bender. When pressed about this, he asked us how the film began. After a moment, he referred to just after the title card, when the words "Once Upon a Time in Nazi-Occupied France..." appeared. The phrase "Once Upon a Time" means what we're about to watch, read, or hear is meant as a fantasy. This film is, above all, a revenge fantasy. The Basterds are all, except Raine and Stiglitz, Jews who get to enact bloody revenge on the Nazis. The cinema massacre is an act of catharsis, spelled out in Donny's eyes as he and Omar kill Hitler, Goebbels, and everyone else in the room.
Yeah it's hilarious that people miss this. They kill Hitler and Goebbels by gunfire, dynamite and structural fire. The only thing, they missed was poison, drowning and hanging 😂
0:32 My God, I knew that I knew this girl from somewhere and I only realized now in this reaction, she's the girl with hot blue hair from that movie lol
Check out her post watch discussion HERE: ua-cam.com/video/oCyo0rJiaoE/v-deo.html

And Django Unchained also with Christoph Waltz and Jamie Foxx.
And Fury with Brad Pitt.
That strudel scene between Hans and the girl is even worse than you think. Because of the war effort at the time bakeries in France were using pork fat in lieu of butter because of shortages. Hans making her eat a strudel was his way of digging in the knife.
Do you think this is mind-blowing look up Operation Paperclip where we hired rocket scientists that were Nazis and they ran NASA Verner von Braun
Samuel L. Jackson was the narrator.

Christoph Waltz took home the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for his role in the movie.
That was a no brainer. This was one of the best performances I've seen by anyone not just someone in supporting role. And in back to back years I believe it happened with heath ledger joker. Two of the best acting performances ever and I think the obvious 1 and 2 of "supporting" jobs ever. I would put waltz 1 and ledger 2 I believe but that's so hard.

That is very true, Tarantino uses this trick at the end of Django Unchained to, when Waltz says "to you gentleman, I say Good Bye" :-)
Right in English it's essentially "goodbye" and "see you later"
I'm French, and indeed, "Adieu" means "Farewell", as in "We'll never meet each other again, so Adieu my friend". Whereas "Au Revoir" literally means "To Seeing you again" ("voir" means to "see", "revoir" means to "see again").

one of the things I found amusing was the music score as the ending was ramping up in the cinema: the same music score found in Kelly's Heros (1968) with an all-star cast starting with Clint Eastwood!
Samuel L. Jackson doing the occasional narration through the movie. Especially during the intro of Sgt. Hugo Stiglitz.
I use that line "how do you get to Carnige Hall'?" with my kids It is such a good line
Fun fact: the German getting scalped in the close up shot is actually Tarantino himself
"Nah I don't think so, more like chewed out, I been chewed out before"
God Bless America!
18:02 He didn't actually say the sentence wrong, he showed his three fingers the Amercian (Edit: British) way. We Germans use our thumb-, index-, and middle finger to show the number three!
Tarantino is simply a genius!
Technically, it was the English way
@@leonrussell9607 if anything, the British way, but I chose American, because the spies are American.
@@calacestar they aren't American, fassbender is English, Hugo and the other guy are German
@@leonrussell9607 I know about the other actors since I live in Germany myself.
My mistake though, I wrongly remembered Fassbender to be an American Lieutenant just like The Basterds.
Michael Fassbender ist German/Irish. Born in Germany and raised in Ireland.
The first time I saw this (in theaters), during the opening scene, I was sweating profusely from my palms wiping my hands off on my shorts while rocking back and forth incessantly. It is very interesting watching someone else go through a similar feeling of stress.
15:30 Thank you for doing this film. Don't think we'll see movies like this anymore. This basement bar scene is probably my favorite ever. Michael Fassbender best performance also loved him in "shame" a Steve McQueen picture
'Nation's Pride'......appears on the DVD as an extra feature....& as I remember, it's pretty funny.
"Tell me, if I were sitting where you are sitting, would you show me mercy?"
😏😏 "Nope."
Nice ending foreshadow
The opening is one of the stressful/intense scenes in cinema history. I still get stressed after many rewatches
"At this range I'm a real Fredrick Zoller" classic
Fun fact - the font used on the title screen is actually Tarantino’s handwriting, which appeared on his first draft of his handwritten script.
12:36 Worth noting here is that the word "Propaganda" was considered a neutral term for much of the 20th century, more or less synonymous with advertisement.
It gained its negative connotations partly in relation to its use during the second World War, and the public awakening to the concept of indoctrination.
Ironically, the replacement of the term "Propagandist" with more euphemistic titles like "Advertiser", "Media Specialist", or "Public Relations Manager" was, in itself, an effective work of Propaganda.
Eddie Bernays literally wrote the book on the subject. He was a nephew of Freud, and employed a lot of his uncle's research to develop techniques of psychological manipulation. Notable clients of his included U.S. Presidents, and tobacco companies.
It's called "Fan Fiction", where you take actual pepole from history or characters from your favorite film and create a whole new story. I tend to look at any movie with an "alternate reality" (MCU, Star Trek) to be fan fiction, but sometimes they can be more fun because it can be anything you want. Or in this case, have the ending you want.
Ariana raved about Brad's mustache for so long. Show her RRR.
"Bonjorno"😂
The smoking pipe that Hans Landa is smoking in the beginning is significant. It is called a Calabash Meerschaum, and is linked to the fictional detective Sherlock Holmes. As such, Hans Landa is seen as a type of detective in his own right as he deduces that jews are hiding in Monsieur La Pedite's house.
Werner is by far my favorite character in this movie even though he only had like 5 minutes of screen time, the fact he knew he was about to die a brutal death but yet he still refused to betray his fellow soldiers is so admirable and brave.
At the bar, when he ordered three glasses, he used three fingers but not the thumb. In that nazi age, german always used the thumb to mark a number with the hand. In that moment the nazi realized he was an impostor.
👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
Tarantino originally wrote The Bear Jew with Adam Sandler in mind but he was busy shooting Funny People
The funny thing is, if you've watched Reign Over Me, I could 100% see that, and see him being amazing in the role.
@Robert Campbell in an interview I saw with Tarantino, he originally told this to Sandler when he did his cameo in Little Nicky
It's a definite Tarantino directorial touch when Landa pulls out his very large Sherlock Holmes pipe!
I already know this is gonna be a classic!😂
already is mate
Fun Fact: The Bear Jew was offered to Adam Sandler at first but it went to Eli Roth and the narrator is voiced by Samuel Jackson
On a side note, this is THE movie that made me love QT's movies. The memorable dialogue, the flashy violence, pop culture references, the ensemble cast. Everything about his movies are chef's kiss.
I wouldn't buy Sandler in that role. Glad that didn't happen.
Shoshana is one of my favorite characters ever. Her little film at the end is iconic.
this and dazed and confused are my dedicated plane ride movies. i have them downloaded on my phone at all times.
6:01 As a Canadian I f'n LOVE that he has the Black Devils Brigade patch on his shoulder. If you know, you know.
The way Hanz Landa looks at Frenchman’s daughters for signs of fear… the way he told the Frenchman “Please join me at your table” at THAT moment I was like Oh my god you are so done because he already knows…
Goddamn Christoph Waltz is just pure masterclass of an actor. Idk how much i kept rewatching this movie.
Pulling out the big pipe was such a power move. Amazing scene, one of my all time favorites.
OMG. Arianna's face during the movie theater massacre was PRICELESS. You could see all the wheels spinning trying to make sense of what she's seeing. Love her!
Ahhh 30 minutes isn't enough time for a reaction to a film that consists of stunning and genius cinema!
The through running point the film keeps making is "Does Landa know?" in every situation he's in
The Bear Jew was written to be played by Adam Sandler, but scheduling with another movie (Funny People) got in the way.
Really? Who turns down a Tarantino film for a movie that couldn't even make back it's budget xD
He was already committed to it. Plus he and Apatow have been dear friends since they were teens, as shown in the very opening of the movie with actual footage of them.
A lot of people find Brad Pitt's accent to be over the top but I knew a Marine from Tennessee when I was serving and he sounds exactly like Aldo Rain lol. Looked up his character on wiki and it says he's from Tennessee!
The look in Donnie’s eyes when he was shooting the nazis off the balcony. Never seen eyes so intense and focused before. Great acting all around this film.
You are the first reaction out of so many I have seen that caught the three finger hand gesture in the basement tavern.
i really thought that was a popular fun fact. but we've gotten a few messages about it
The theory is all Tarantino films take place in the same universe and this point is where his universe veers off from our reality which is why things are so much more violent in his
I can't remember if Red Apple cigarettes make a cameo in this or not. One of his calling cards.
Christoph Waltz was worried about hurting Diana Kruger, so for the strangling scene Quentin stepped in and the hands you see doing the choking are his instead of christoph
Another fun fact, not sure if anyone mentioned it yet, but that first solider you see getting scalped is played by Quentin Tarantino himself. He always loves to throw himself in his movies weather it be a role or tiny cameo like this one. His hands were also the ones choking Bridget von Hammersmark. He wanted it to be real yet safe, so did himself to make sure it was done right. She actually passed out during filming from the choking. Also the narrator was the one and only Samuel L. Jackson. And the actor on the phone when Hans called to make a deal was Harvey Keitel (Mr. White from Reservoir Dogs and The Wolf from Pulp Fiction)
yeah, it is soooh much fun to watch movies with you!
Christoph Waltz doesnt get nearly enough credit as he deserves. His performance as Landa is legendary.
So sinister, the way he says “masquerade” when he switches back to French - he’s got to let them know he knows
Fun fact: when she was getting strangled, those were actually Tarantino’s hands around her neck and he was actually choking her out because he wanted to make sure it looked realistic.
The script of us god damn brilliant. Its shown well in the film but if you're a film Aficionado or you studied film that all read the script, it is mind-blowing in its simplicity also so very complex on a deeper level
When Landa was laughing hard after hearing that mountain climbing story, he was thinking “This is the best they could come up with?!”😆
Hans Landa is never more dangerous then when he's being pleasant with you. . .This, to me, is Tarantino's greatest movie: well written, great cast, and some of the best framing of shots since Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket. Plus, a Bowie song used!
Could do an entire video of "first time watching Christoph Waltz". Great actor, but his characters are so unsettling.
Of all the great scenes in this movie, that touching scene between Joseph and Adolf in the theater is the one that really stays with you.
“Dominick DeCoCo”
I know it’s a minor line but after establishing the character as a “third best” Italian speaker he offers an almost perfect accent in comparison.
Absolutely fantastic movie with helpful lessons about the proper way, or really the only way, to treat nazis.
Landa absolutely knew who Shoshanna was. He was toying with her. You were correct. He loves the hunt. Christophe Waltz gave a perfect performance here. He was pure evil and charming. I enjoyed your reaction to this movie. I'm sure you figured out it was Samuel L Jackson that was the narrator.
I'm GLAD that you watched that. Such a great movie. I remember watching this in theaters and it was good stuff then for sure. :)
Your initial reaction of UNEASE from the first scene is EXACTLY what they were going for, I think~
The performances of both Christophe Waltz and Melanie Laurent are superb
"This might just be my masterpiece" HARD CUTS TO Written and Directed by Quentin Tarantino
Fun fact. The bear jew was written years ago with Adam Sandler in mind, but when production finally started, a schedule conflict meant that Tarantino instead brought in frequent collaborator and friend Eli Roth.
I love your face when reacting to headmarks :D!! I just discovered your channel and I hope you keep doing reaction to movies.
The scene with bad guy and Shoshanna eating lunch, very important! Because if she is Jewish, she wouldn't have ate or drank what she did. And any funny face, before she ate or drank, hw would have noticed. The helper guy to Churchill is Mike Myers, of Austin Powers and Wayne's World movies!
19:19 I WAS SO ANGRY AT HER! (Im a german btw and the film was brilliant) BUT WHY DID SHE SHOOT THE GUY WHO JUST HAD A FUCKING BABY! I WAS SO HAPPY WHEN SHE DIED!
Because he was a nazi soldier and was insulting her and calling her a traitor seconds before? Hello?
Christopher Waltz actually speaks 5 different languages fluently and was one of the reasons he was cast for the role.
Always nice to chill with Ari and a movie
I love this movie, and the opening scene, especially. Your reactions are very intuitive, I'd like to see you react to Basic (2003) with John Travolta. The entire movie is an interogation, and to say it gets tense is grossly understating things.
I could see Brad Pitt pulling off a live action version of Nolan Grayson...
Regarding the historical liberties taken with the subject matter, I actually got to attend a screening of this at JTS in NYC. There was a panel discussion afterward which included the film's producer, Lawrence Bender. When pressed about this, he asked us how the film began. After a moment, he referred to just after the title card, when the words "Once Upon a Time in Nazi-Occupied France..." appeared. The phrase "Once Upon a Time" means what we're about to watch, read, or hear is meant as a fantasy. This film is, above all, a revenge fantasy. The Basterds are all, except Raine and Stiglitz, Jews who get to enact bloody revenge on the Nazis. The cinema massacre is an act of catharsis, spelled out in Donny's eyes as he and Omar kill Hitler, Goebbels, and everyone else in the room.
Yeah it's hilarious that people miss this. They kill Hitler and Goebbels by gunfire, dynamite and structural fire. The only thing, they missed was poison, drowning and hanging 😂
*vague spoilers abound*
And he did exactly the same thing later on too, with Once Upon A Time in Hollywood.
0:32 My God, I knew that I knew this girl from somewhere and I only realized now in this reaction, she's the girl with hot blue hair from that movie lol
