When he says "The German's nickname for me is The Little Man?" look at Brad Pitt's expression change -- he DEFINITELY knew about that but didnt want his friend to find out, hilarious.
The fact that he is in this position of power, but still asks how to say "Bingo!" correctly says so much about his character and how his mind works - always learning, always curious.
Well he did planned to sold out Hitler and his generals to seek asylum in the US under a new identity. He did succeed in the end but I supposed Aldo's gift to him in the end kinda ruined the "new identity" part.
I suspect it was more him being endlessly disarming, hard to read and full of artifice. Given how well he speaks multiple languages including English, that idea that he wouldn't know how to say "bingo" is less believable than it being part of an endlessly turning part of his brain that seeks to outwit his enemies.
@@glenchapman3899 not completely, but QT didn't think there was an actor capable of playing Landa when he wrote the movie, so he had the movie written already but it was deemed impossible to film until he met a suitable actor, which was Waltz.
Landa's eloquence isn’t just about vocabulary; it’s a tool for persuasion and control. His charm and polished manners allow him to disarm others, making his manipulative intentions all the more dangerous. This blend of charm and menace reflects a deeply analytical mind capable of understanding the nuances of human behavior
Christoph Waltz's ability to make a complete monster affable is second-to-none; he hit Gary Oldman as Stansfield levels in terms of likably monstrous .
For those that don't notice it, the telephone is the most important piece in this entire scene. Whoever has the camera shot with the telephone in it is the one controlling the power at the moment. In the majority of scenes leading up to the proposition of the deal, the phone only appears in Landa's shots. Once that deal if offered to Aldo - then and only then does the phone return to in front of Aldo and Utivich.
i never really watched his hands so i gave it a look after this comment and its crazy how for the first half of the scene he doesnt show both of his hands a lot, but once he starts getting into the "you need all four to end the war" both hands are clearly on the table and stay in sight up until "that's a bingo!" as if, up to that point he was not letting onto his intentions with talking to them, and once he starts talking about killing all 4, now its all on the table "this is my goal". and now i have just one more reason to be amazed by this performance
“…and your mission (which some would call a terrorist plot)…” and “nawww more like chewed out. I’ve been chewed out before” are two of my favorite lines of this movie
Always uplifting to see the comments on scenes like this with CW. He is so loved by audiences. It's easy to see why. Not sure who else could've done that. His face on the bingo lines is truly scary.
LOL I never noticed that when Landa reveals Utivich’s nickname, you can see Aldo’s upset face - he’s been trying to keep this nickname hidden from Utivich since he would probably know about everyone’s nicknames from the German soldiers. He knew it would upset him and withheld that information and probably told the German speaking members of the group to keep that to themselves loooool. He had kept it secret all this time but Landa gave it away moments before the war ended. I was always too focused on Utivich’s defeated face when he found out his nickname.
Man what a coincidence, I started watching this film out of blue for no reason, then I find out that this year marks the 15 anniversary of the release of this film.
It's funny that in the opening scene, Landa smirks at how Heydrich is chafed by his given title, but then he himself is apparently irritated by the one he's been given.
Sometimes the Oscar for Supporting Actor/Actress is handed out to roles where you have the feeling that the prize should rather have gone to the screenwriter, and the person who executed the script was just lucky to be handed such brilliant lines. In this case, this is not so. There is no scene in this movie in which could imagine any other person than Christoph Waltz in the shoes of Hans Landa.
If Brad Pitts’s accent could have been taken seriously, then it would have been. However; it can’t, because it’s atrocious. But Quentin wanted Brad Pitt. So I believe they just rolled with it. What point are you trying to make? That this was intentional from the start? That Quentin wrote the script initially this way? That if Brad could have had a realistic accent, that Quentin would have still told him to do it this way? You sound like the idiot lol
What's interesting is that in the opening scene, Landa takes pride in being called the Jew Hunter, while in this scene, he acts like he hates his nickname. It seems like Landa doesn't actually believe in anything. He just does whatever benefits him the most. This idea is reenforced by the fact that he betrayed Hitler and won the war for the allies in exchange for a nice reward.
He's English is very good, and he has such a sophisticated domain over it that as a Portuguese speaker and second language english speaker myself, I don't see it in many people, people don't respect the language and don't understand the culture that is the base for intonation, sarcasm, irony and just being funny and use language to do that... it's a very hard thing to do it in a second language...
I love how Landa is just as practical as he is cunning. He doesn't serve the nazis by loyalty or by ideology, but just by convenience and utility. He has his own agenda that doesn't align with nazi agenda. If his country lost the war, or his superiors died horribly in a burning cinema after their corpses were exploded, he really didn't care as long as he himself could rip something out of it, lol.
Love Pitts accent in this whole movie😂 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 “I did my share of bootlegging if we hear a story too good to be true… IT AINT !!” 😂 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I really can't see BJ as anyone other than Ryan. Don't know why that is, I don't seem to have that problem with guys like Steve Carell or Jon K. Maybe because this is one of his few acting roles.
Waltz's performance is perfect. Pitt's performance I always had trouble with. I wonder why QT didn't stop him from giving this performance, he could do so much better.
Office of Strategic Services. They coordinated, planned and operated espionage and covert sabotage missions and counterintelligence operations in Nazi occupied areas and in Germany itself. The OSS was disbanded after the war and became the CIA. Worth a search for more detail. Landa correctly guessed their mission was an OSS operation.

He got to see himself judged by Jewish tribunal tho.. Im suprised that a narcissistic pyscopath like Waltz would believe such thing would be possible. I guess he was The Skull face of this film..
What makes this more hilarious is that Hans had already screwed himself by placing the bomb underneath hitlers chair. He essentially gave away his only bargaining chip and once he let them go they were free to brand his head.
Tarantino is in a class of directors like Spielberg, Scorsese and Lucas where people would go and see whatever they made just because it's them. They have no equals who came after. It's a real shame Hollywood drove out all the talent.
When I first read your comment I didn't get what you meant, but I looked at pictures of all of Hitler's inner circle and you're absolutely right - they all have practically the same slicked back haircut! Perhaps BECAUSE of that they decided to go for a different style with Landa. I always got the impression that Landa is not really sold on Nazi ideology and is instead a very intelligent opportunist using Nazism as a vehicle for gaining power and wealth, and that's why it's so easy for him to switch sides when a better opportunity presents itself.

Christopher waltz is such a great actor. He played one of Quinton Tarentino's most hated characters here and one of his most likable ones in Django.
Speak for yourself, I love him in both lol
Landa is evil af but he’s so charismatic, I just can’t hate the guy!
Most hated? You sure? Everybody is rooting for lada
My two favorite Tarantino movies. I know most would say his old classics, but IB and Django both felt like he had a new evolution.
I think the most hated is Samuel Jackson in Django
I love Christopher Waltz. The ability to speak french, German , English flawless is just amazing.
And Italien!
And Italian. As if we needed more reasons to be amazed at the guy's intellect he just speedtalked perfect Italian for one scene. :D
The Italian was rehearsed, he doesn't speak it in real life.
It’s easy to see why Waltz won the Oscar. He makes a true monster seem so appealing.
Unfortunately, only "Best supporting actor". He deserved "BEST ACTOR" (for years) !!! No doubt about...👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

I think my favorite line is Brad Pitt saying to Donnie: “We got ourselves a German here who wants to die for his country. OBLIGE HIM!” 😂
I can't imagine having to sit there and act across from CHRISTOPH WALTZ!
They don’t
Waltz is brilliant Pitt is playing a cartoon character. Great movie.

3:52 I met Christoph Waltz in a schvitz years back, and he made that same gesture the moment he locked eyes with me.

I love how bro is sitting there just staring into Landa’s face for 90% of the scene with a deadpan expression
Deadpan is the most common expression for those that use the phrase “bro”
