[@niklaspietzschke8785]

Not to take anything away from Waltz, he is easily among th top 5 of my favorite actors, but Landa and Schultz are (relatively) similar. Essentially charming wolfves in sheep's clothing. Their motivations are different, because of their role (secondary protagonist vs. main antagonist), but the way they carry themselves around strangers and enemies is almost identical. Schultz appears different because we see him show compassion towards people he likes, whereas we never see Landa interact with a person close to him.

[@SuperCosty2010]

​​@@SamRichardson1990oh yeah of course. Living in Germany for over 20 years now, I can count good movies by the fingers of one hand. And the characters are not so different, they're just on different sides of good & evil. Look how Dr. Schultz plays with the "sheriff" or the Speck Brothers

[@BlueMorningStar]

@@SuperCosty2010 Agreed, they're extremely similar characters. Both of them are nihilists who are willing to use their intelligence to exploit whatever legal system they happen to be in for selfish gain. Both of them think they can deal out violence without themselves getting hurt by it and both of them eventually get proven wrong on that count. The only real difference is that Schultz grows a conscious in the end. I genuinely think he was just as much of an unfeeling psycho as Landa throughout most of the movie, but his friendship with Django and watching the slave get ripped apart by dogs force him to learn some empathy.

Landa didn’t proceed with prosecuting shoshana as Landa already decided to flip and shoshana’s movie event is the key to his escape plan. Landa, being a very cunning and calculating person might have realised that the Nazi’s days are numbered. This is again confirmed when hitler insists on attending the movie showing despite the dangers as this will inspire his people, a needed propaganda as Nazi’s enemies are nearing and gradually taking Nazi controlled territories (he did mention that he needs to reconsider his position considering that the American forces are on the beach already). Which is why Landa decided to switch sides. This shows that Landa doesn’t really have a loyalty. He will support the strongest and quick to switch side if the current power is already threatened. A very clever character build up indeed. Which is why I’m not happy how they concluded the Landa character.

He shows that side breaking through when he intentionally says "one more thing", he says it simply to watch her reaction if she's hiding something. We can see how menacing he really is when he's staring at her watching her reaction - look at his suddenly menacing face and feel the tension. Once he's satisfied with his ulterior motive, he drops the formalities and unceremoniously and rudely snubs his cigarette out into the dessert. The ruse and game are over. Even the cigarette was a pretense and part of the act, its not even halfway finished when he snubs it. That's Landa's whole thing; he's so nice, polite, and formal - a real gentleman.

Correct. It seems he never cared about the Nazi's goals, he was just good at his job. But it seems like he was used to being the smartest person in the room and felt he was severely underpaid, and was never going to get the recognition or compensation he felt he deserved, so he decided to let the plot unfold for his own personal gain.

By coincidence both Shossana and the Bastards were planning to destroy the high command unknowingly and separately so Shossana being kept alive was essential since it kind of led to Landa negotiating with Aldo and later the Americans

I'm french and used to live and work 15 years in Bavaria.

I love the way Christoph speaks so perfectly and fluent french with his typical German accent, which is exactly that happens in the real life, and make this scene part of the most incredible ones ever. The degree of mastering of the french language is absolutely stunning, we are in a very high level of expression that, if you are french, reveals implicitly all the double meanings of his questioning, which is unbearable for Shoshana, not knowing if he already knows who she is really. A masterpiece. I love that film too because of those four spoken languages in it I have had myself the chance of learning during my lifetime, allowing me to watch this film (again and again) without any subtitles. Most of the actors are natural speakers in the language they're assigned to, except for those who are multi linguists, but always speaking other foreign languages with their own accent, which sometimes will betray them (like in the scene in the "bistrot"). Working now in Switzerland, I can also pretty immediately tell where a German speaker is originally from, because each region has its own dialect. Languages are marvelous and determinate who we are, how we think and mostly the way we see the world. Speaking other languages allows you to see the world differently.

If you remember the visit of Lambda to the Lapalisse into their farm, he asked for a glass of milk and Soshana, who is hidden under the floor, hear that. This kind of very fine allusion to their first "meeting" where he let kill all her family, is the way Lambda plays and could already signalize her he exactly knows who he's dealing with. The best part of it is that we don't exactly know too, his choice could be a simple hazard. He speaks very slowly, very gently and in a perfect manner, like a gentleman, but he's very directive, giving her mostly orders: What she gets to drink, the Strudel which is typically a German dessert, wait for the cream", meaning we have plenty of time...

French is complicated an so subtle, it has this very good sounding because all word are getting nicely into another and people speaks quickly (and it makes its difficulty to comprehend for a non native) you can play a lot with sounds and words changing completely the meaning of what is meant (especially good for jokes!) you need a whole life to come into the secrets... I imagine at at a certain point it's the same for all languages, it's the mirror of the country and the culture it comes from. For me, abilities to speak foreign languages have made a important part of my professional and private life, and I'm still learning each days, simply because I used to live 15 years in Bavaria and speak the dialect... It's fascinating. I particularly appreciate German because it's a very direct language which allow to speak very precisely, shortly, you don't need to talk a lot, and the big advantage is, you pronounce it like you speak, so if you pronounce good, you write it good too.

I personally don't have any doubts that Landa knew exactly who she was; during the whole movie he is on top of everything and always plays along with people's disguises even after their cover has been blown until the opportune moment presents itself to end the ruse. He was a master detective, compared to Sherlock throughout the movie, specifically in the scene where he smokes the same type of pipe Holmes would use. This was revealed by Tarantino as intentional symbolism. We also later learn that he interviewed all of the Basterds victims and had an in-depth knowledge of their workings and personal details on a level that a regular investigator wouldn't really even come close to. We can assume he applied the same level of dedication and efficiency to all of his cases, which is what got him his reputation, so he would have known what Shosanna looks like as well as having looked into the cinema she now owns before ever talking to her, undoubtedly finding many red flags. Finally, I will finish off by saying that in terms of the movie, the glass of milk is Tarantino's way of telling us that Landa knows, or at the very least has a very strong suspicion it is her. An extra little fact that makes it even more convincing in the context of the movie is that adults during this time did not drink milk in public seeing as it was seen as a child's beverage. Ordering milk for a grown woman would have been seen as very odd.

I love love love this scene. From the way he orders the pie and made her wait for the cream, to the process of him eating the pie in bits to her hold herself together until he left the table, brilliant acting on both. My hair was standing straight up when I first saw this part of the movie!

[@pedrobakale7180]

the way that Landa chews is terrifying

[@ahmedeldessouki2165]

Pedro Bakale I think it fits the charachter perfectly

Frrrii.... Gteenninng..... Sound.

He obnoxiously chomps away, which is completely opposite of the rest of his outward appearance as an educated, sophisticated, very intelligent man in the presence of a lady. Never noticed the chewing before, the rest of the scene is so intense even watching it in isolation is scary. Would not surprise me if this was a conscious act by Landa, to appear a bit boorish for some reason. Maybe to throw her off and rightfully show him a well-earned look of disgust (perhaps a micro-expression before that was a term). But she didn't do that, just kept that stone face the entire time, therefore Landa knew she was hiding something.

I am a huge fan of Christoph Waltz. He is a master of dialogue and superb linguist.

[@Chillo56]

A cunning linguist might I add😏😏

[@DeckardCain1986]

I love the accents in this movie, and makes me wanna learn German and French (I speak Spanish and English) ... o never get tired of watching this movie again and again

Everyone else watching this was feeling the same way Shoshanna was feeling. That's how good he was.

[@dnd9768]

such a drastic change of expression on her face.. she was also perfect in this scene

[@michaelkenny1858]

Forget the strudel, the way Waltz jumps straight into French is amazing.

[@jucuffy1105]

I love how the music in the beginning matches her anxiety when seeing him.

Astonishingly crafted scene. Direction, acting, camera work. Outstanding. Her gasp at the end was chilling. Showed her terror.
