  • To this day I'm still amazed how they found Christoph Waltz, who not only is a God-tier actor, but can also speak all the languages required in the script for this movie.
  • Tarantino nearly lost hope when he couldn't find an actor for Landa. And then Christoph Waltz came in like a knight with shiny armor. Check out Tarantino's next movie, Django Unchained, and you will understand Waltz's impressive range.
  • @moisesBTW
    That dessert scene was a test for her. Since those pastries are made, originally, with lard. Jews werent allowed to eat lard because it wasnt kosher. You could see her react lightly when eating 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?!”😆
  • @gavinderulo12
    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.
  • @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.
  • 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.
  • @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'
  • 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.
  • @write2pras84
    Admit it, Christoph just waltzed into the top of your list of best villains in movie history, didn't he?
  • Thing is, Landa doesn't even believe in Nazi beliefs. He just sticks on what seems to be the winning team.
  • @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
  • @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.
  • The opening scene is a masterclass on how to build tension. Waltz and Tarantino are unmatched.
  • Tarantino after finishing this movie: I think this might just be my masterpiece
  • For all the violence and flashy stuff, Tarantino still values the scenes of dialogue and the power of acting. This is why he's one of my favorite directors.
  • @rozziny3888
    Hans Landa is Top 5 Greatest Villains Of All Time Hands Down!😮‍💨 He really deserved the Oscar he won for this role.
  • @ponkor
    The three finger mistake is beautiful..... Great choice guys
  • @tomcody2203
    No, Major Hellstrom did NOT hear their names , but because of their dialect immediatly recognized the REGION, where they did came from (Lieutenant MUNICH, Lieutenant FRANKFURT) Fun fact: Initially, ADAM SANDLER was supposed to play the part of the BEARJEW!
