The "German three" is absolutely real. I watched the movie when it first premiered with my brother, and when we saw Fassbender put up three fingers like an American or a Brit, we both simultaneously said, "Oh, shit." SUCH a good way to make him betray himself.

Yes, @ 17:40 when the joking German guy suddenly sees the man put up three fingers, he instantly realizes he's not talking with fellow Germans. They do not put up those fingers to indicate "three". They use the thumb, index and middle. It's a part of the actual history of how Germans could tell non nationals in WW2

@@daveygivens735 The concept of spies accidentally giving themselves away during wartime was VERY common during WW2, especially in England -- German spies were frequently captured due to their unfamiliarity with English customs, grammar, accents, etc., and the English citizenry were very alert when it came to odd behavior. It was so bad for Germany that basically EVERY German spy in England was captured by the English and forced to work as a double-agent (or be executed). Read about the Double-Cross System for a lot of good info on this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-Cross_System The whole "German three" thing boils down to muscle memory -- we learn as children how to count on our fingers, and when someone says "show me three fingers", you don't even think about it -- you show them the way you were taught.

Thanks for the reaction! Inglorious Basterds is one of my favorite movies, and I always enjoy watching people react to it for the first time! A couple of points: () The camera angles in the beginning have already been analyzed to death, but I also noticed that the switching between both actors from left to right made it seem like I was watching a chess game, a battle of wits, until finally the angle switched to subsume only the clear victor (Hans) first when he moved in for the kill with "You're sheltering enemies of the state, are you not?", then to the "loser" afterward. It's these subtle choices which make or break an opening scene. () I think it's rather telling in the opening dialogue that Tarantino chose to have Colonel Landa use the two words "adieu" and "au revoir" to different people in the beginning. To Monsieur LaPadite, he said goodbye with "adieu", which is just "farewell", but to Shoshanna he said "au revoir", which literally means "until I see you again", or "see you soon". Subtle foreshadowing even in the dialogue! () Does Hans Landa know that Emmanuelle was Shoshanna? Given that Hans was undoubtedly insightful and highly intelligent, and given the nature of his assignment to remember names and faces of enemies of the state, it's almost certain that he did know. However, given that he was also an opportunistic sociopath, I think he decided not to act on this knowledge right then simply because it did not serve his interests to do so. He probably knew that he could turn her in at any moment, when he could have traded her in for maximum reward from his superiors. () Plastic surgery technology grew by leaps and bounds after WW1 due to the large number of facial injuries incurred by soldiers during the war. It would have definitely been a thing by the end of WW2. Thus, Hans most likely would have made it his first priority to get that scar patched up and his forehead repaired as soon as he could, and he would probably figure out a way to do it, as well. He’d hide it with a baseball cap, find a morally onerous surgeon or one he could easily lie to under an assumed name, hide the surgery scars with bandages (and possibly bandage up other parts of his body so his forehead doesn’t stick out as an obvious area for recently performed surgical procedures), and he’d eventually be able to “take off that uniform”. Then again, that plan would be a HUGE pain in the ass (and the forehead) compared to simply taking off a uniform. That’s the point. Lieutenant Raine most likely figured that scars could heal, but he likely didn’t care. Realistically, permanent reminders of affiliation with the Nazis weren’t the point; vengeance, intimidation of other Nazi soldiers through word of mouth, and retributive infliction of suffering was the point.

And this is why I enjoy Shannelle Reactions. "Look at how much you get into that low shot". Exactly, Tarantino is telling you SOOOOOOOOO much without even a single word spoken. He's showing you that dude's entire world in that one shot....that he's a simple man, doesn't need much to be content, takes care of his property with hard work. We've only known this guy for like 5 seconds but already know so much about him. That is the trait of AMAZING film makers. To be able to show, not tell, you things about the story & characters is a real gift. The Coen Brothers are really good at that too. No Country For Old Men & There Will Be Blood are 2 exceptional character films where you learn more about the person through their actions than through any words spoken. There Will Be Blood could be a silent film for the first 15 minutes. Just Daniel Day Lewis, a set on location & a camera. But you learn SOOOOOOOOOOO much about Daniel's character through those opening 10-15 minutes...and before the character utters his first words you know this guy is gonna be a real son of a bitch. With that said, There Will Be Blood is just a character film. In fact, I'd say it's an absolute boring movie. But the characters are just fascinating....if you're into that sort of thing....that makes it work as a feature film. The way the characters are written, the way they are performed, the way they are shot & filmed is just a master class in film making. But the movie itself.....yeah, kinda boring. There's no real story to it. It's just the story of this man through a good chunk of his life. But the Coen Bros can be like that sometimes. They also did a feature film of like 5 crazy stories set back in the Old West times. It was a movie that goes no where, but the stories were very entertaining. Almost like a modern Brothers Grimm type thing....quick little stories that had a lesson or a powerful meaning to them.

This was the last film that Sally Menke edited for Quentin Tarantino, as she sadly passed away about a year after this was released. However, she left us with with what I consider the best edit of any Tarantino Film. In the scene where Shoshana shot Frederick, she glances back at the film, seeing Frederick tearing up in fear. In that instance, she looks back at the person she shot as human for the first time, giving her emotions without any words being stated. It is an astounding edit that only takes up about 4-5 seconds, but it tells you everything without saying a word.

In The Searchers, John Wayne brings Natalie Wood home (after being abducted as a child), and her family carries her in through the doorway in a shot just like this. And in this scene we get almost the exact opposite, in which this girls family has just been murdered all around her and she has to run away from her homeland to save herself. This is yet another little gem from Tarantino taking classic pop culture and putting his own little dark twist on it. (Just to avoid a bit of confusion - there's a number of thematic tie-ins as well with that film in regards to the hatred Wayne's character has toward the natives in that film. So when I say the scene is opposite the Searchers, that shouldn't be taken in every sense. I'm purely just talking about the physical action in the scene.)

Definitely one of my favorite films ever. What I like about his films are his incorporation of bygone music from much earlier films like those of the "Spaghetti Westerns." At the beginning "scalping scene" here Quentin uses music from the 'arena scene' in the motion picture 'The Mercenary.' Later in Inglorious B Tarantino uses music from the 'Tiger confrontation' in the movie 'Kelly's Heroes.' The theme music of Inglorious Basterds is also taken from the past though I cannot remember which film it originated from.

Why'd they misspell Bastards? Cause there already is a movie called Inglorius Bastards.. and Quentin didnt wanna be accused of doing a "remake"... even though hes done them before (*cough* Resiviour Dogs *cough*)

Fun little detail about Aldo Raine, he's wearing the red arrowhead patch of the 1st Special Service Force, a joint US/Canadian commando force and the forerunner of various special forces units in both countries. If you want to watch an old war movie, 'The Devil's Brigade' is a semi-fictionalized take on the formation and some exploits of the unit.

I saw this in theaters. I was living in Costa Rica and they are beyond strict with movie ratings. Even if you have a parent with you they will not let you in a R Rated movie if you're under 18. My parents had to speak to the manager and beg him to let me in he eventually said screw it but don't tell anyone I let him in. Worth it it was such a fun time. After that we just would just buy tickets for another movie and sneak into the r rated one.

The role of Eric the bartender is played by German actor Christian Berkel. In 2002, the film "Bunker" was shot in St. Petersburg, in which he played the role of a military doctor. I starred in the mass scenes of this movie.

The opening sequence of this film is perfect. I have no reservations in saying it is perfect. It starts out in the open, and it gradually constricts until we see that shot through the doorway of Shoshanna fleeing. No matter how much the villains in this film squeeze, there will always be someone who escapes. It is masterfully shot and performed. The lighting is superb. If you notice Landa (Waltz) and his behavior, he is a gentleman. He is well learned in linguistics and etiquette. But at the same time, from the moment he shakes the farmer’s hand, the interrogation has begun. He has left nothing to chance, and he is using his manners as a way to get the farmer to confirm his suspicions. The frightening part about Landa is he demonstrates the benality of evil. We look for evil to be this grandiose display, when it is in the stroke of Landa’s fountain pen in the file he is updating and in the polite way he manages to check the girls’ pulses to see if they’re complicit in hiding people. What else is frightening is how he is able to make valid points to support his work, which is exterminating people for being Jewish. He uses the rat vs. squirrel argument, etc. Finally, once he’s ready to lower the boom, he politely hints at how he knows the farmer is hiding Jews and it really will be better for his family and him if they admit it. In a dramatic closeup, Waltz then goes from a cordial subtle smirk to a very serious stoic face-a dramatic change in mood with the slightest of changes in his facial expression. The approach of the Germans is heralded by a sample of “Für Elise,” by Beethoven, a fine German Classical Composer. It’s brilliant in its reference to their nationality as it is in its juxtaposition of beauty and beast. I can go on and on and on. These are raw thoughts. I just LOVE this scene to death. I can watch just this scene and, as a film nerd, be satisfied. It should be watched by anyone learning to be a filmmaker.

This was the first Tarantino film I saw I theaters and have continued to do so since. I think this ia my favorite. The opening scene and basement scene we were on the edges of our seats!
@CrippledMerc Жыл бұрын
There’s an interview where Tarantino is talking about that basement scene as he was writing it. He said that he realized the tension was like a rubber band. He wanted to see how far he could stretch it out before it snapped. Because like a rubber band, you can keep stretching out the tension, further and further, keeping people nervous and on the edge of their seats with everyone wondering when it’s gonna finally break. So he kept making it longer and longer. One scene in a little basement that goes on for ages while everyone watching knows that the shit is going to hit the fan eventually. Watching that interview and hearing him describe it is a really neat glimpse into his mind when he’s writing these scripts and picturing how he wants them to play out on film. And the moment when Fassbender gives himself away by using the wrong fingers to ask for three glasses is absolutely a thing and was done intentionally. There’s actually lots of little cultural things like that that give foreigners away when they’re in Europe. Another one I’m aware of is how people carry a bouquet of flowers. Americans tend to carry a bouquet with the flowers pointing up coming out of the top of your hand, while in Europe people tend to carry them with the flowers pointed towards the ground coming out of the bottom of your hand. I’m aware of some of these from reading about spies because these are little things that could’ve given someone away as an American/Western spy when they were abroad in a country they weren’t supposed to be in. I find stuff like that fascinating.

Fun facts: the Bear Jew character was originally written for Adam Sandler, and Fassbender's character was originally going to be played by Simon Pegg (Tarantino was a huge fan of his show Spaced, and even did a commentary track when it was released in the US on DVD as a box set).

Tarantino won't explain the title's spelling, but I've deduced that it's because, you may not have noticed, that was the way Donnie the Bear Jew misspelled it on his bat.

I saw this in the theater when it when it first came out. There was applause at the end. Tarantino recently said he wrote the Bear Jew part specifically for Adam Sandler, but Sandler couldn't take the part due to filming another movie at the same time.

Growing up in Westchester, there was an old theater in like a 20s style closed down when I was in my early teens . In my later teens we found the basement door was chained and padlocked, we cut the lock off and put our own . We used to hang in that place a lot it was really cool hangout .

In the first scene, I always took the intentional breaking of the stage in a true flip as a change in personal power... Mr. LaPadite had the power initially, as it was his home, but upon Landa pulling out his more impressive pipe (and subsequent demeanor change), the power dynamic shifted near-instantly

The obnoxious pipe is a tactic, it distracts and puts the opposition in a state of confusion long enough for Landa to completely shift the situation.

True Romance was written by Quentin but he sold the script and it was directed by Tony Scott, some people still think Tarantino directed it. Still a good film that has a cult following. I would suggest watching Jackie Brown, often overlooked but in my opinion one of his best,

A few points. The first scalping, in the ditch at the start, was TARANTINO. Brad pits sniffing the thing from the little box, is called 'Snuff'. A smokeless tobacco, Sniffed, or chewed. The Three symbol that gave away in the basement is a thing, it is based on how numbering is done on hand, Mid Europeans (and others) start counting from the thumb, hence the giveaway when he ordered the glasses. Thumb, Index, Middle.
