For each performance, he earned an Academy Award, BAFTA Award, and Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor.

Tarantino not only makes absolutely perfect scenes, he also makes it look easy. At no point in any of his film I get the feeling that he's trying hard, it just feels like it comes naturally to him.

Such a tense opening scene. No matter how many times I watch it, I always hope that the whole family gets away even though I know what will happen. Tarentino is a master of suspense

“Imma give you a little something you can’t take off” - Aldo Amazing dialogue in this film. I love Tarantino!

[@Twatermel0ns]

I don’t think people think about it enough but shoshana age is told and it pans to her underneath the floor boards, in a way, being a full character introduction. On top of that, her placement in the scene of this shot also lends way to the shooting of her family. As her placement in her introduction shot shows she was the only one not in the line of fire. Also her being introduced into the movie underneath and by the end, she will be on top everyone in the projection room.

[@jakejoseph5534]

Cool detail. Shoshana definitely felt survivors guilt, as her demeanor and attitude indicated throughout the film. The bullets may have missed her in the first scene, but they catch up with her in the end. The heroes in WWII were those that sacrificed themselves to save others, but in this case shoshana wanted revenge, and her sacrifice is the symbolic end result of taking vengeance (albeit for a good cause).

The farmer's emotions almost exactly mirror your own. Or rather, as the scene goes on, your emotions mirror his!

[@redbandmedia79]

Yes! He is fantastic in this scene and makes it for me. Massive array of emotions from him. Great stuff.

[@michaeldelgado4090]

Hey! Don't forget the cinematographer, Robert Richardson! He had a lot to do with these shots as well.

[@oxrockproductions]

A few people have mentioned Richardson here. I should have given him more credit, it's true. Director/DP collaborations are all quite different. Some directors (like Woody Allen) generally let the DP drive much of the shot choices. Others (like Spielberg) have a much more specific idea of where the camera should go or what it should achieve. Regardless, the DP plays a role (as does the editor, which others here have pointed out should have been mentioned).

[@RavageStudio]

RR is phenomanal, no wonder quentin only works with him, they contemplate each other really well

[@giantorres92]

I am a casual movie viewer. A musician with no intention on pursuing any sort of film career. However... This channel has forever changed my movie viewing experience for the better. There are so many new details to digest appreciate in each shot, and in each film; I can't thank you enough for your quality content. 🙏

[@Wolfoe-ex2jj]

I love the music leading up to Landa’s introduction to the farmer. It it very akin to a pre-duel spaghetti western score, which this scene is in a way. Both characters sizing each other up, and eventually battling with words instead of bullets.

[@lahamada]

This breakdown was much needed. One of Tarentino's best scenes.

[@theatifaks]

This scene and the bar scene from this movie is one of the best and tensed scene ever filmed.

Its crazy how much creative work you guys put in the making of those Videos. Best example of how much you care about detail and style is the text transition at 7:19. Really nice! I wonder how much time you invest in the making of this Video and how many people were involved in The editing/Motion Design process.

This scene also has some sort of a hidden gem. Charlotte, one of the daughters, played by the magnificient Lea Seydoux stands a bit further apart from the two other daughters. She is the only one filmed with close ups, and she is probably the older or the most responsible since La Padit asks her to take the other girls outside. Why would Tarantino cast such a great actress for such a minimal role. I really hope she appears in his 10th film or later on in Tarantino's career, perhaps as Charlotte after the war...who knows.
