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.

Just one small clarification. The Nazi officer at the basement bar was a German language and dialect expert. When he said "Lieutenant Munich" and Lieutenant Frankfurt", he basically is summing up exactly where in Germany they are from just their accent. Munich and Frankfurt are two big German cities.

[@renzero9206]

As a German speaker I love the basement scene as you can actually hear that Fassbender has an accent, eventhough his German is really good in the movie. So it all makes perfect sense.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

YES!! As a native German it's always a joy when German dialogue is done well - whether it's euphemisms, jokes or even the actors speaking it. Hearing Fassbender's accent just added another layer to that scene that made it so much more enjoyable!!

[@dustinwilson4815]

@@OfficialMediaKnights And the way they prefaced how perceptive the officer was before he noticed the way Fastbender's character held up his fingers was very well thought out.

[@Cau_No]

@@OfficialMediaKnights Also, when the SS guy named them "München" and "Frankfurt", he was not referencing their real names, but which regions they came from. Although Germany is a comparably small country, the language sounds different in various places. The regions around those cities (Bavaria and Hesse) have very distinct dialects. Hamburg, Cologne and Berlin could also have been used.

[@phj223]

@@OfficialMediaKnights I just wanted to point out in case Ari missed something in the basement scene, the Nazi officer wasn't referring to their names when he was talking about "Lieutenant Munich" and "Lieutenant Frankfurt", he was showing that he could precisely place what city in Germany they came from just by their accent, and it was odd to him that he couldn't place Fassbender's character. :) Sorry if this was obvious to you, but Ari said something like "oh, he overheard their names!" if I got it right.

"Christoph just Waltzed" is excellent wordplay and I love you for it

[@redviper6805]

When Landa was laughing hard after hearing that mountain climbing story, he was thinking “This is the best they could come up with?!”😆

[@isaacs3822]

Also a display of power, which he exhibits in nearly every scene he’s in - chugging the milk/smoking ludicrously large pipe in the beginning, insisting on waiting for the cream, and the over-the-top laughter was all behavior that throws the protagonists for a loop, “steals the scene” so to speak and in turn, the upper hand

[@batmanvsjoker7725]

Thing is, Landa doesn't even believe in Nazi beliefs. He just sticks on what seems to be the winning team.

[@manoz6194]

Nothing wrong with "Nazi beliefs" if you know the truth about it. You won't find it in Hollywood movies though, neither the given history books

[@horsepower523]

Landa is a psychopath that loves his job of killing people and having power. That's how many Nazis were in real life. They didn't really care about National Socialism or Hitler. They just wanted to have power and to have the permission to kill people.

[@Pablo-om8cj]

Same as all people

[@gillesplantin7350]

Christoph Waltz gave a truly incredible performance. The first scene is also a model of tension building, one of the best ever produced, every shot, every sentence, every bit of acting, is perfect.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Absolutely agreed, Waltz was unbelievably magnetic in this, what a performance!! That first scene had us on the edge of our seats!!

[@anthonyleecollins9319]

@@OfficialMediaKnights I've read that Tarantino wrote the script, and then he thought he'd never actually be able to make the film because he'd never be able to find an actor who could act on that level in so many languages. Then, of course, he found Waltz.

[@DDiez15]

His names Christoph

[@TheJerbol]

Never look at milk the same way

[@isaacs3822]

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.

[@jkramer302]

I love how Quinten holds out the long scenes and builds the tension. Every scene with Waltz is a master class in acting. His facial expressions, rapid mood and energy shifts. Masterful.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

He really knows how to drag it just enough and the actors do such a marvelous job with the extra time given!

[@gregwillson7952]

I could not point to any particular changes in his face, and yet you can feel his energy change massively. He's so good.

[@leowakefield5942]

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'

[@merchillio]

That slight, almost imperceptible, change in Landa’s face before he tells M. Lapadite that he knows he’s hiding the family. It’s just perfect

[@JimFinley11]

One of the best pieces of acting I've ever seen, and without a word. It was subtle, but it was as if he changed from one person to another - the falling of the mask.

[@tawsection9985]

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. Lo and behold if Hans Landa doesn't meet Shosanna again.

[@aadil1998]

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

[@jack-o_lantern]

I believe the final line of the movie “this just might be my masterpiece” is a subtle nod from Tarantino, reflecting on his creation. What a movie.

[@CamoDrako]

I believe according to Tarantino, the mood he always wanted to express every time Hans was on screen was “Does Hans Landa know?” and I think it’s done perfectly

[@batmanvsjoker7725]

Brad Pitt with the Southern accent. Tarantino always manages to insert humor in whatever project he does.

[@reanimated]

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."

[@SamJackson-xu1py]

I can't even tell if it's supposed to be a Southern accent or some sort of cartoonish version. I'm going to say the cartoonish version given the stereotypical humor throughout this film.

[@martin43427]

Even though I like Eli Roth as the Bear Jew, I would’ve LOVED had Adam Sandler played him (as Tarantino originally wanted). Just the take manic man-child energy of his 90s comedies and Punch-Drunk Love and add in some murderous tendencies and he could’ve given an all-timer performance. Love his most recent work in UNCUT GEMS and MEYEROWITZ STORIES.

[@johncharlton7160]

That strangling scene was actually Tarantino's hands strangling the actress - he actually strangled her to a certain point for realism. She trusted him to do it at that level and you can see the strain in her eyes.

Landa makes a point of having Shosanna eat the cream on her strudel because butter was scarce during the war and the cream was likely made with pig fat, which isn't kosher. It was just a way for him to torture her a little more.

[@tenchraven]

The cream would have been cream. It's the pastry that either would have been made with either pig fat, or beef fat.

[@HDGAMER8462]

One thing from the opening scene id hope you appreciate is before the soldiers start shooting the floorboards, Lander says Adieu, a French word implying goodbye on the fact you will never see them again. When Shoshanna is running away he says Au revoir which translates to we will meet again. Later in the film they do. These subtle moments just makes Tarantino such a good director and one of a kind.

This and the scene at the petrol station from "No Country for old men" Waltz himself said that his character knew that it was Shuzzanah when he ordered the milk, and he was jus happy knowing where she was and being able to go and get her whenever he wanted. Quintin have said that this is how he wished history went.

[@IH8YH]

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]

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.

[@vincentdesjardins1354]

Add this to the fact that, specialy in this time, a french farmer would simply not speak english let alone flawless english. Even nowdays go try and speak english in France country side, see how it goes ... But that's small cinema tricks we tend to forgive and forget to not spoil an otherwise masterfull cinema experience.

Great review, guys. It’s a masterpiece, like everything Quentin makes. A tiny bit of trivia: Hugo Stiglitz is the name of a Mexican actor who starred in dozens of corny, cult-like action films in the 60s/70s (mainly) that Quentin paid homage to.

[@amanaemonisia]

Your reactions always bring me so much joy! I end up even watching those i know absolutely nothing about because of how invested and entertaining you guys are. Thank you for all your work ❤

[@rockzhard2009]

Once Upon A Time in Hollywood, The Hateful Eight (extended version), Django Unchained, Reservoir Dogs, Death Proof. since yall have started down the Q.T. rabbit hole, just check them all out. you will not be disappointed in any of them. well, they're from the GOAT of movie making so how could you be, right. also, ya gotta admit, for as disgusting as they were as human beings, the SS uniforms were str8 fire. fun fact: the black SS uniforms were made by the Hugo Boss Co.

The 3 finger detail is simply amazing. The tension shoots through the roof when the major's eyes locks in on the fingers.

[@ianrichardson21]

Reactions like these makes me feel like I'm watching for the first time again, so good

[@TJSaw]

No one does revisionist histories better than Tarantino. Fantastic film and great reaction!

[@HavocStoneGaming]

I’m a big fan of movie reactions. I’m really enjoying what you all are doing. Going deeper than most with camera, music score and all the little details you add. Bravo to you both.

[@emmanueleze5986]

Seeing you guys clap at the end of this put a BIG smile on my face because the first time I watched this movie, I literally clapped as 'Written by Quentin' popped on the screen at the end........ Hands down my favourite Quentin movie, and on my top 5 favourite movies of all time

[@sanmc5888]

Glad you guys watched this movie. Like you guys said, so many actors in this movie gave a stellar performance, especially Christophe Waltz playing Hans Landa, he was brilliant, absolutely excellent. He won a well deserved Oscar for this role.

[@paulineandrushuk8923]

So glad I tuned in for your viewing of the wild film. I saw it back then but I might have been stoned, because now with your observant analysis and knowledge of film making, I can truly appreciate the "Tarantino" magic. You two rock

[@silentjustin]

If you guys loved Christoph Waltz in this and want to continue your journey with Quentin Tarantino, I suggest watching Django Unchained. Its got Christoph Waltz, Jamie Fox, Samuel L. Jackson, and Leonardo Dicaprio. Not to mention that Django Unchained is peak Tarantino filmmaking at its finest.

[@ThronezOfBlood4262]

“Stiglitz…” “Say Auf Wiedersehen to your nazi balls!” Always gets me. Goddamn I love this movie!

[@RockPowerUSA]

I was very excited finding out that you had found Inglorious Basterds. Your appreciation of movies really comes through on everything produced that's just so perfect in this movie. I've been enjoying quite a few of your movies recently. ❤😂 You edit quite well. 😊 You're thoughtful too.

[@Erigion]

Tarantino with some meta commentary through Pitt at the end. Which I agree with. This is his masterpiece.

[@ChadtheHammer]

Christoph Wlatz is just as good in Django Unchained and in that movie he plays the good guy.

[@Belerand317]

One of my favorite films for so many reasons. So glad you two reacted to it!

[@Yelnats87]

One of Mr Waltz's most impressive performances! The scene with the Fassbender in the basement bar is also one of my favourite parts of this movie... script, acting, intensity, camera work, it's all just incredible in that scene!

[@Abc86aik]

One of my favourite movies all time, simply amazing.

[@raidervillalobos6457]

Ill never forget seeing thus in theaters when it came out. The ending gave me the chills and the audience applauded. You dont get that in audiences anymore outside of fan-servicey comic book movies. One of my favorite movies and definitely my favorite from QT

[@CamoDrako]

Just a passerby since this came up on my feed - I have seen this film countless times and seen countless analysis vids - but this is my favourite I have come across and I loved your introspection and enthusiasm which was very obviously genuine and organic. Sub earned!

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Thank you! Really appreciate the love and support ❤️

[@rickwelch8464]

Saw this thumbnail and couldn't click fast enough. You guys are the best and you'll LOVE this movie!

[@normie2716]

One scene that always give me a chuckle that I rarely see anyone mention is when von Hammersmark tells Aldo that the Führer is attending the premier, they cut to Hitler, waxing somewhat poetic about the importance of his attendance and what it would mean to the country. Then immediately cut back to the Basterds' reaction to it: _"Fuck a duck!"_ 🤣

[@SD-in2mv]

This has been my favorite movie since I first saw it over a decade ago. Christoph Waltz absolutely kills it.

[@TampaCEO]

22:42 - OMG! I'm glad you recognized Michael Fassbender, but you didn't recognize Mike Myers? It seems nobody recognizes him in this role. Anyway, thanks for another great reaction to an amazing film.

[@ricardorgomez]

You had so many great comments throughout the movie... I regularly have reaction videos playing in the background while I work. I couldn't work with your reaction happening! Shoshana was such a badass. There is one thing I learned in a Tarantino written movie "True Romance" that I've taken to heart "Act like you don't have a care in the world" and that way, you don't give away any of your cards. Shoshana was perfect with that. Especially when she was absolutely terrified within. It takes practice. For example "Do you mind if I smoke?". "This is your house, make yourself comfortable". To not get owned, he should've said "But you are my guest and want to make your stay pleasurable....". The dairy farm owner wouldn't have been owned and not shown Landa so early on he was scared and probably, guilty. Great freaking movie and loved your reaction! BTW, there is a link between this movie and "True Romance". See if you catch it.....

[@TheDylls]

"Au revoir, Shoshanna!" is absolutely chilling

[@MySackSweat]

I still get chills with that opening scene after seeing this movie a thousand times. Tarantino is one of a kind

[@user-mw8bm5wy6s]

When I watched this movie for the first time,everytime Mr Waltz was on the screen,It put me in a complete state of stress,anxiety,tension and uncertainty.Even Tarantino said he wouldn't have made this movie without Christoph waltz.Such a brilliant actor.

[@connect2reality]

"The pipe is huge compared to his, showing the power dynamic between the two." She gets it! Like, dead on.

[@teacher_fher]

Sometimes depending on the movie, when I've already seen it, I have to admit I skip some scenes, get straight to the coolest ones to check your reaction. But when it's Tarantino I watch ALL OF IT, normal speed, enjoying every second, because every single scene (and especially every dialogue) is amazing.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Tarantino is just that good! Anytime we watch one of his films we can expect a level of excellence in writing, camera technique and comedic timing. He’s just too good!

[@Lucylava]

Did you miss the Mike Myers appearance? I loved it when he popped up! Tarantino makes such inspired and often unexpected casting choices. One of my favourite films and I enjoyed the reaction very much thank you 😌
