HOLY SMOKES! This was really my first experience with Tarantino and he absolutely blew my mind! Brad Pitt was exceptional and Christoph Waltz was PERFECT! Can't wait to watch more of his films. PLEASE RECOMMEND MORE TARANTINO FILMS. Band of Brothers Episode 5 is up on Patreon but will be posted her on TH-cam this weekend! As always, very grateful for you all and thank you so much for supporting the channel!!
Is this your firstvTarantino? If so, I strongly recommend watching the rest in release order. He's an Auteur and he developed over the course of 30 years You'll get more from it that way compared to watching in random order He is my fav filmmaker
I only found out in the last year that Mr. Tarantino has what you might call a... fondness for feet 🤣aka. foot fetish 🦶🤤... Learning that really changed the way I look at some of the scenes in his movies, and this one is a good example with the Snow White shoe scene 💃👠👮
It's amazing that Christoph Waltz won two Oscars. The first for playing a nazi. The second for playing the kindest non-racist imaginable in Django unchained! Great actor!
Christoph Waltz winning Oscars for two diametrically opposite characters is the new Viggo Mortenssen broke his toe. Then again... the blood on Di Caprio's hand...

And the fact that, when asked about his blatant fetish, Tarantino actually had the nerve to say it was just "good direction", and that "lots of famous directors get accused of having foot fetishes" (spoiler: nope, just you) 😂😂😂
@@BADDTVThat has been debated a lot, but most debates come around to the assumption that Landa knows who she is (or at least suspects), and is really just getting cream to remind her of her dairy farm roots, really just trolling her. It’s fun for him, especially because he doesn’t intend to expose her because the change of cinema falls into his escape plan. He knows she isn’t aware that she is safe in the moment, and it amuses him to torture her. A lot of folks who know a lot more than me say that a fancy restaurant would still have access to and use kosher ingredients, so according to them that is not the reason behind the cream. 🤷🏼♂️
Au revoir is typically just a goodbye that implies you're going to meet again, sort of like 'see you later.' It's in the same vein as 'a demain' (until tomorrow) or 'a la prochaine' (until the next time). Adieu is used in the context of more final partings, basically a forever farewell.
Yeah! That's pretty much exactly what I was told by my High School French teacher 30+ rears ago. He also said that the literal meanings of the two phrases were practically identical and the meanings depended on context.
I agree with this interpretation, although they've become somewhat interchangeable since the birth of the digital age. Both still attempt to convey different moods and expectations though.
Christoph Waltz is fluent in German, English and French. He learned Italian for this role. He has won two Best Supporting Actor Oscars, one for this and one for another Tarantino film…
"Margheriti" and "Arrivederci" along with the Italian hand gestures never fails to make me laugh. The opening scene with Landa was the definition of stressful!
The best thing about this film, is the fact it discovered Christoph Waltz and introduced him to the world. Yes, he speaks all the languages. Tarantino thought an actor to play that role may not exist, and wasn’t sure he could make the film, being the most key character, then, Christoph auditioned.
Actually no, he doesn't speak all the languages. He doesn't actually speak Italian but he was able to memorize the lines well. I suspect that's due to the similarities between French, which he speaks fluently, and Italian.
@@danielg6566 - Well... Partly agree. He had a Austrian mother, and German father. So he definitely speaks German. And English to be honest. And French. Italian? No. Still imprresive, considering most people can speak only native language, and maybe one more. And no, there is not that may similarities between Italian and French, depending how far in time you want to go (granted they both have a roots in Latin, but French vocabulary has gone on to be influenced more heavily by German and English loanwords, and later on due to big differences in pronunciation and syntax). I mean, you can push for similarities, sure - as French, Italian, and Spanish - at the end, all of them are languages that evolved from Latin, the language of the Roman Empire. Therefore, they are of the same origin but have developed distinct characteristics over time, and went in a different "development" ways later on. All in all, they would struggle to understand each other (completely different than for example, comparing even modern Czech language and Polish, yeah - in most of the cases they would understand each other, in probaly 50% of cases, no issues there, no language training needed). French and Italian in modern age? No fricking way... Some word. Sure. Pure language, speaking and so on - no. No way at all. Good luck with it.
@tannhauser5399 wow you went through all that just to prove you don't read?!? You said, "Italian? No." I based the fact that Christoph doesn't speak Italian on an interview between Jimmy Fallon and.... CHRISTOPH WALTZ! What do you mean "no"? And for saying there are similarities between French and Italian? I speak English, Spanish, FRENCH, and ITALIAN! I'm also fairly good at Portuguese, FYI. So putting me on blast for saying there are similarities between French and Italian? Wow you are ignorant. Like "try hard" ignorant. Good luck with that bud!
@@LiteWeightReacting About what you said, that Hitler in the movie seems to be exactly that crazy as you imagined him... Actually, this representation is totally wrong. In private, he was totally different. You should watch the movie "Downfall" (Der Untergang) which portraits the last days of Hitler and his men in his bunker at the end of the war. The actor (Bruno Ganz) gave a phenomenal and much more realistic performance how Hitler behaved. Fantastic movie! - Best watched in German with subtitles.
Cristoph speaks German (he was born in Austria), French, and English completely fluently. He actually doesn't speak Italian, so he learned that part for the film, but many Italian people have said his delivery of it was VERY accurate, and only has slight hints that he isn't a fluent speaker. He's absolutely amazing, you will see more of him.
@@KaiserM3 I saw one where he said he was pretty good at mimicking it when he was in this movie. I'm not sure if he's since learned it. But, he sure had me convinced in this movie that he was fluent. I mean, I'm not, so it could've been gibberish, but it sure sounded like fluent Italian.
@@bdennis2004 I’d also say that Italian has very few difficult sounds, at least from German perspective. This makes it easier to pronounce it correctly for beginners.
The cream is potentially significant for two reasons: - Cream may not be kosher, so he could have been testing her reaction to it. - It's potentially a hint at him knowing who she is - referring back to her family history of being dairy farmers, and the first scene with the milk.
Stepping into the Tarentino world is a whirlwind experience and I love that you've started. Many more of his films are worth watching, but this one is my favorite
You always have a super intuitive reaction. I still am so impressed that you knew the 3 finger thing! So brilliant and random! The super impressive part is Tarantino knew it too! WTF LOL😃
Agree, 100%. I speak German, been to Germany, family is German, and never knew that. Her picking it up without pause is impressive. Masterful reaction.
10:56 that’s an MG42, the standard German belt fed machine gun at the time. It’s the same machine gun you saw during the beach landing scene in Saving Private Ryan. It’s notable for the fast rate of fire, 1,200-1,500 RPM. Americans GIs called the thing “Hitler’s Buzzsaw” because no other infantry machine gun could fire as fast as the MG42. The sound of the gun firing alone was so fearful that the US made a training film on dealing with the sound when attacking the MG42 in particular. How good is the MG42? It’s basically still in use today. The MG3 was a modernized version of the gun that the German military had just only recently retired, but the MG3 (difference between it and the MG42 is mainly in the caliber and improvements to the construction of the weapon, but both function the same and utilize the same overall profile) is still floating around with many smaller nations, and is even being used in Ukraine right now.
Quentin Tarantino said in an interview he likes to do extremes when it comes to tension. The scene where we as the audience know the people are under the floorboards or we have to watch the tension during the card game in the basement, he likes to stretch those scenes out as long as possible. Thats how a 20 minute scene with basically just a boring conversation can become one of the most tense moments of the movie.
forgive me, but it’s a lame theory. nothing in the scene or the rest of Tarantino’s filmography would make anyone who can read human emotions think that was the intent - fun conspiracy theory though, i’ll admit.
At that time strudel was commonly made with pork lard which Jews obviously couldn’t eat. It would have given her away if she’d refused it. I’m guessing only Jewish people would have understood the significance of that scene.
@@doctafloIts actually true. Strudel at that time was commonly made with pork lard which Jews obviously couldn’t eat. It could have given her away if she’d refused it. He was testing her.
Yeah, it was basically that. To be honest, the first time I watched the movie I didn't pay attention to the bit at the beginning where they state that her family were dairy farmers, so when I saw that close-up of the cream my reaction was just like hers 🤣
The music played when Donnie walked out of the tunnel was indeed from a western movie. A spaghetti western called "The Big Gundown" (1966), starring Lee Van Cleef. The version of Beethoven's "Fur Elise" played in the opening scene was also from the same film. The song played in the opening title sequence was "The Green Leaves of Summer" which was used in the 1960 movie "The Alamo" starring John Wayne.
This is my all time favorite Tarantino movie! The acting, characters, script, direction, all absolutely perfect! Christoph Waltz gave a truly terrifying and captivating performance as Hans Landa. He became the first actor to win an Oscar for a Tarantino movie for Best Supporting Actor in 2010. He would also win the same award for another Tarantino movie: Django Unchained in 2013.
That moth has been around in Hollywood for a few decades now, and is best known for his appearances in Silence Of The Lambs and The Lord Of The Rings. It comes from a family of Hollywood moths, and his great-great grandfather played the titular role in the original Godzilla vs Mothra.
The scene at the farm and the scene at the bar are two of my favorite scenes in ANY movie. This is my favorite Tarantino movie. To me, this one is ART. Christoph Waltz is amazing. He really does speak all of those languages. Brilliant guy.
That's the prove we have more to offer than a Styrian oak (A. Schwarzenegger), we also have Christoph to fear for your life. While Arnie can break you like a twig, Christoph does it through cunning and intimidation.
I literally can’t eat any pie with whipped cream without thinking of the scene where he’s eating pie. It is so flipping satisfying. And the fact that context around it is so tense is jarring.
8:45 was the director getting scalped lol. This movie has some of the most tension-filled conversations in any movie. There is a really cool video that breaks down the tavern scene and the things the director did "How THIS Scene Became a Modern Masterpiece" Just came out a month ago.. Christoph Waltz as Hans Landa was incredible. The scariest part about his character is that you can not read him at all, it's terrifying. Oh yeah, the woman that gets choked at the end was actually being choked by Tarantino (44:57). He literally got hands on in that scene and made it look real since he thinks in most movies choking looks so fake. For the record, you can't go wrong with any Tarantino film.
Gonna drop a random bit of historical fact here to complement that scene from 36:00 where the woman is explaining how to order "Three glasses" the german way. But in my case, regarding soviet soldiers back during the second world war. My ex-wife is russian, and she had a grandfather who used to work in a factory building parts for rockets and other machinery. His name was Vitaly, and he used to tell this story where one day they caught a german spy investigating their bunkers. Same story as this movie, at first he was interrogated due to his accent, but what eventually betrayed him was the UNIFORM he was wearing. You see, russians used buttons on their jackets and each had 4 holes, allowing for a double wrap when using a line to form a stitch. In the end, each button would display 2 vertical lines. But the german spy had buttons with an X type of stitch instead, the kind russians never used. And that's what got him caught.
Outstanding that you knew the German 3 fingers! I knew that from reading German sociology books in college. Everybody at my house thought I was nuts. Lol
52:28 Soshanna is seen using either an FN 1905 or Colt 1908 Vest Pocket handgun. These were early pocket handguns in .25 ACP, both models are visually identical to one another. Magazine capacity is 6 rounds.
Loved this! Yeah, your reaction to Christoph Waltz's performance in this is exactly how most Americans unfamiliar with his work reacted. We didn't know who we was before this, but we came out of this knowing he was one hell of an amazing actor. I watched this movie for the first time not long after he was nominated for an Oscar for it, and just that opening scene made me go "Oh, I get it." I didn't pay attention to who else was nominated that year, but, when he actually won, my reaction was "Well deserved!"
@20:38, the significance of the cream is that it was made with pork, so it was a test to see how she would react to it. Landa does a lot of similar tests in other scenes. For instance, in the opening scene, when he asks for the milk, he grabs the wrist of one of the daughters to pose the question, but actually, he's checking her pulse, seeing if its elevated.
I thought it was the strudel itself which was commonly made with pork lard then. Maybe the same applies to the cream. Either way, he was definitely testing her and would surely have made him suspicious of her being a Jewess.
@@shanenonwolfe4109You’re contradicting yourself. Theres no way he could have suspected she was that same girl, but was testing to see if she was a Jew. He wasn’t called the Jew hunter for no reason.
@@1972dsrai I think that he already knew who she was from the start, and was beginning to set up an opportunity to defect; he already knew which way the war was going, so naturally, he played along. The part with the strudel, in my opinion, was just a cruel little game to him. He knew she was going to have to eat it, and relished in forcing her to do something she didn't want to do. The odds are very good that he already ran a background check on her before he got there, and immediately knew something wasn't right with her story. "There's something else I wanted to ask you... But, for the life of me, I can't remember what it was." Translation: I already know. But we'll keep that between us.
1:33 Yes, she is in a couple of Daniel Craig Bond movies, and Christoph Waltz is in them too. Many people believe that there is a subtle nod to this movie in Specter. Her character comes face to face with Waltz's character for the first time in that movie, and he says something like "Yes, I visited your father's house before." Which is what he does in this movie.
'Adieu' means "goodbye." 'Au revoir' means "I'll see you again" That's why Hans Landa told Shoshana "Au revoir." He knew he'd have to hunt her down again.
Sorry to jump in, but 'goodbye' implies you'll be seeing them again. "Adieu" implies they will never see each other again, so I'd say it means 'farewell'
Speaking of, _adieu_ can be used in a romantic way, under very definite circumstances. As in, _we obviously fancy one another but we must part ways, if ever we were to be reunited it would be with the help of God, therefore fateful and meant to be._ Zoller saying _adieu_ to Mimieux in their first meeting is one-sided, as Mimieux overtly display displeasure at Zoller's mere presence, which shows Zoller to be obtuse and immature. I never consciously thought about it until today (I'm not really good at reading social cues), but it's pretty obviously the moment I started thinking about it. If Tarantino wrote the dialogue specifically to convey that, I'd be in awe. Frankly, that's the kind of shit he pulls off in his English dialogue, so I'm more than willing to believe it was all on purpose. Now that I think about it, Mimieux saying _au revoir_ instead when she storms out of the café/diner at their second meeting might also have been on purpose, to clearly convey that there was nothing 'fateful' happening.
Excellent reaction. You picked up on so many subtleties. Also, lots of people become scared when being screamed at & threatened. But, ALL people are scared by quiet, controlled threats. Tarrantino plays on this and wrings out the maximum suspense from such scenes. Good job, keep it up. ; )
French here ! "Au revoir" is use for every day discussion, and when we know that we will meet again. It litteraly translates as "at the re-seen", so the closer translation i can think of is "see you next time". "Adieu" implies that we will never see each other anymore, it's mostly use for dramatic effect. This one translate to "to god", so something like "I'll see you with god/when i'm dead".
@@LiteWeightReacting Brazilian here! 😊 @milhouse8525 's explanation of "adieu" perfectly applies to Romance languages. In all of them, like in French, Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, and Romanian - there’s a specific word with the same origin (ad Deum) for a definitive farewell: adieu, adeus, adiós, addio, adio. These terms are used to mark the end of a relationship, a long-term separation, or even to express a desire to never see someone again. No wonder they say we are intense and dramatic! 😜
As a non-nativer French speaker, I associate ‘adieu’ with something more historic; dictionaries support that notion but also say it’s used more in the South of France. But then ‘Adieu’ is also used in German, though maybe more as a noun as in “a tearful adieu”, with also regional differences in usage. German has derivations of that with ‘adjüs’, ‘ade’, and via ‘atschüs’ to ‘tschüss’. Looking at Google ngram, which scans word usage in books, in French, the usage of ‘au revoir’ has increased significantly over the last two decades. But books don’t reflect oral usage exactly and what is published in books might also have shifted over time.
Michael Fassbender starred in Centurion the same year as this. Brad Pitt is also in the was film Fury. The actress playing the movie star, Diane Kruger, is also in Troy and both National Treasure films
One thing i noticed about Hans Landa: when he was speaking to the farmer in the beginning, he spoke of his nickname with certain pride in his voice. But when negotiating for a favorable terms with Aldo Raine, he talked as if the nickname disgusted him. It was his psychopathic(?) way of trying to paint himself as a man who's doing his job well, which just happened to be hunting people.
"au revoir" is the standard way to say "goodbye" and is used in most situations, while "adieu" is a more formal or poetic way to say farewell....so her using au revoir fits since she doesn't see a need to be formal with someone she hates
"Adieu" is Farewell, which implies they are not meant to see other again. It's very formal, poetic, not really used anymore except in dramatic situations. As for "Au revoir", it translates into litterally "To be seen again", is the equivalent of "Till we meet again", quite self-explanatory once you know that. It's the french usual way to say goodbye to someone in a polite way
One rare usage is in a sort of romantic context, like when Zoller says to Mimieux _adieu_ in their first encounter. However, it's completely one-sided and shows the character of Zoller to be immature/brusque (since Mimieux obviously couldn't stand him). Landa's usage near the end of the opening sequence is ironic, used as a keyword for his goons to start shooting. As far as his character goes, I'm sure he'd find that small twist deeply amusing.
The "Basement Shootout" is one of the best written, acted and directed scene in cinema. Your first QT film and you start with one of his best imo. To me this is his "mature phase". Dialogue and character take center stage, making his later films more like stage plays. Christoph Waltz is PERFECTION. How many other actors have given a performance in English, German, French and Italian, in one film. Next watch Hateful 8 and then Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (my personal fav and his best imo). Enjoy 🙂
Even if you don't react to it now, you Need to check out the outpost. A true story.. It has Orlando Bloom Scott Eastwood Milo Gison. An outstanding Supporting cast. Two people in this battle received the medal of honor both of them are alive. And that is truly rare
40:55 The genuine laugh Waltz give off at that point is one of the most spine chilling moments in a movie I can remember. They know they are screwed at that point but everyone still continue the charade.
Hey Teegan! I’ve never seen this movie, largely because I’m not a fan of Tarantino’s movies. But to support your channel, I’ll give the TH-cam edit a watch. The one Tarantino movie that I did enjoy a lot is Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. I thought the on screen chemistry between Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt was fantastic, it has a great soundtrack, and the retro backdrop is fun. As always, thanks for being one of the best reactors I have experienced.
"Adieu" means "farewell", so the people are parting ways forever, while "au revoir", yes, means "goodbye", so the one who says it means to see the other person again.
Christoph Waltz did such an amazing job in this and he 100% deserved the Oscar he got for this. Now Django Unchained is a must watch after this to see his second Oscar winning performance! Also because it's a fantastic movie, probably my favourite Tarantino movie after Pulp Ficiton.
14:05 the leaf was no accident. It was intended to be symbolic of the stars the Nazis would mark Jews with. Or, as they say in Office Space: pieces of flair.
The way you used a comment on a great movie to reference another gray movie. Chef's kiss. The fact that Peter even said "The Nazis had pieces of flair that they made the Jews wear" is so good.
I saw this movie at the Director's Guild in Hollywood when it was released. There was about 100 people there. I happened to know a member and she took me. Quentin Tarantino came out on the stage before the film and introduced it, then after the film he came back out with another guy, did an on-stage interview then took questions from the audience. The guy is very very smart.
5:33 you would love the short movie Your Friend the Rat which complements the Pixar movie Ratatouille. 15:11 "Au revoir" could be translated as "See you later" and it means you expect to see the person again. "Adieu" could be translated "May God watches over you" and it means you do not expect to see the person again. In the context of the scene, "Adieu" could be translated as "See you never". 57:43 French is relatively close to Italian, English and German have the same roots, and English is heavily influenced by French. I do not know if the actor speaks those 4 languages, but learning them is not as hard as learning 4 unrelated languages.
8:44 There are videos of clips from a film called Downfall where Hitler's shouting at his men and people added in funny subtitles of him apparently shouting about how he hated Justin Bieber or complaining about bad movies.
Most of the score was composed by the legendary Ennio Morricone, who also composed most of the famous scores from the spaghetti western movies in the 60's and 70's that Tarantino grew up loving.
I'm so glad you appreciated Christoph Waltz! (The Austrian pronunciation would be Valtz.) Check out Django and I think you'll come to love him even more. Yes, he's fluent in many European languages. My German step daughter is also proficient in 4 languages (she too can slip between them effortlessly), and she speaks a bit of 4 others. This is much more common in Europe. My favorite Tarantino movie is Jackie Brown. Mush less bloody violence -- the cast is impeccable, and the plot is glorious!
If you get to Once Upon a Time in Hollywood..., there's a reference to Italian directors, and it's the Margheriti and DeCocco. I love that he dovetails the names through two movies.
Fun fact: Til Schweiger, the guy who played Hugo Stieglitz is a german actor who is mostly known for making the cheesiest of cheesy (romantic) comedies in Germany so it was kinda funny to see him in this. You may have recognized him from playing the bad guy in This Means War. Also au revoir is a general goodbye and adieu is more of a final farewell and then there is also salut which is an informal way of saying hi/bye and yes nitrate film is not only extremely flammable, it is also a pain in the ass to put out once it gets going because its combustion reaction produces its own oxygen
Fun fact: Tarantino wrote the Bear Jew character for Adam Sandler but unfortunately he declined. The sound of the bat hitting the ball was supposed to lead to the big reveal but womp womp. Still was a great movie.
The Fredrick Zoller character having a movie made about his "exploits" reminds me of something. The most decorated American soldier in WW2 was Audie Murphy after the war he became an actor. He also wrote a book about his life and his time in the war called "To Hell and Back," that book was turned into a movie with the same title. Audie initially turned down the idea of starring as himself in the movie but eventually took the role.
I'm not a Tarantino fan, very far from it, but this movie is truely incredible. The tavern scene is a masterpiece in cinematography, blocking and story telling. His movie "Once upon a time in hollywood" is also incredible, a must watch. Christoph Waltz (Landa) is fluent in french, english, italian and of course german, since he is german. Same with Diane Kruger, who plays Bridget, she's also german, and is fluent in english and french also, they actually dubbed themself for french version for most of their movie. And shoutout to Melanie Laurent, playing Shoshana, she is a very famous french actress, and that's one of her best role !
I had a pet rat too, they are great! Does Landa know? That is the source of tension in this movie 7:30 Aldo Raine has a red arrow head patch on his shoulders this is from the First Special Service Force aka "The Black Devils" or "Devil's Brigade". This was a joint US-Canadian unit. Although it's purpose was not 'killing nazis' they did end up doing a lot of that and leaving a message on dead Germans "The worst is yet to come". A likely inspiration for this movie.
There's a fantastic scene by scene breakdown of the bar scene (on youtube) showing the brilliance of how it's filmed to inform the viewer of certain facts and how he builds that tension- Of course every single element on screen is intentional - from the fact it's filmed in a basement to how the shots are framed to make the scene cramped increasing the anxiety
There's a quote from Hitchcock that explains some of what Tarantino utilized here. He said that there is a difference between "suspense" and "surprise," and yet many pictures continually confuse the two. Then he gives an example of two scenes, both a normal scene with some people talking, but there's a bomb under the table. In both scenes the bomb goes off at the end but in only one of the scenes the audience knows about the bomb beforehand. You can probably guess which one of the scenes is the suspenseful one.
Easily one of my top 5 movies of all time. Every actor plays their part well , and love the tension sparks. The scene where they are portraying as Italians always gets me 😂🤌🏽 “Raverdarchii”
Oh the tavern scene is GENIUS, I love it so much, especially the Gestapo agent. He's as intelligent, insightful, patient, manipulative and intimidating as Landa, the audience is not counting on another character just like this in the same movie More than one character is allowed to be this effective, which you do not see anywhere else, usually such characters are surrounded by idiots whose only purpose is to make said character look smart by comparison
My grandfather fraught in Normandy. He would regularly wake up screaming about his boots. It’s because there weren’t enough so when you died they took them. It was much worse in the Civil War.
Antonio Margheriti was a famous italian director of the 60s, 70s and 80s who shot lots of fantasy and sci-fi movies, there's an indie movie award named after him, Enzo Gorlomi is a reference to Enzo Girolami Castellari, the italian director who shot the original 1978 inglorious bastards, he actually makes a cameo in that scene, 42:21 he is that old guy in the background with the white gloves, Dominic Decocco is the only made up name
The difference between Adieu (Good Bye), and Au Revoir (Until we meet again), where Au Revoir is similar to Auf Wiedersehen (German, Until we meet again). Christoph Waltz (Landa) was also in Django Unchained, He speaks fluent German, French, English and a little Italian. They were having A LOT of trouble casting Landa, until Waltz came along. The significance of the cream with the strudel when he talks with Shoshanna, She is Jewish (Her family was) and were dairy farmers, so the Cream (and the milk) was him testing her out, which makes you wonder if he KNEW it was her or not, Given that Cream and milk would not break Kosher if she was in fear of her life.
"Au revoir" is the standard French way to say "goodbye" and can be used in most situations, while "adieu" is a more formal and dramatic way to say farewell, typically used when implying a long or permanent separation and considered somewhat old-fashioned in modern French.
Nitrate films were very flammable that they'd probably be classified as Hazardous materials today. That's why each film was stored in a metal airtight container.
The flammability of nitrate films is legit. Xray once used cellulose nitrate as the film base and there was a very real problem with hospital fires. They switched to polyester bases because of it.
Yes. A masterpiece. By the way. I don't know the rules in occupied France. In Poland this farmer and his daughters would have been killed for hiding Jews. I had to write this. Many contemporary politicians are angry at Poles for not wanting to help Jews.
Great reaction. This is one of my favorite movies and my favorite Tarantino film. I've seen a lot of reactors and you are the only one that noticed the three German fingers. Also clever commentary.
As a screenwriter, the first scene is a masterclass of tension, perfect dialogue, and unknowing knowledge of the audience. It's like telling the audience there's a ticking time bomb under the characters' feet, but the characters don't. You're waiting for it to go off, and every second is stretched out to a minute.
Never noticed till you pointed it out, but the music in the opening scene hits different. Combination of Beethoven and the strumming from old western movies. Beethoven for the Germans, old west for the stand-off that’s about to take place.
Absolutely one of my favorite reactors, I'm looking forward to more Tarentino reactions. Everything he does is masterful. Inglorious Bastards is definitely one of my favorites. Thank you for making my Saturday 🙏♥️
The focus on the dessert was because that pastry was made with pig lard, which went against Jewish religion. He ordered it to see if she had a reaction. The milk was because her family were dairy farmers
HOLY SMOKES! This was really my first experience with Tarantino and he absolutely blew my mind! Brad Pitt was exceptional and Christoph Waltz was PERFECT!
Can't wait to watch more of his films. PLEASE RECOMMEND MORE TARANTINO FILMS.

Is this your firstvTarantino?
If so, I strongly recommend watching the rest in release order.
He's an Auteur and he developed over the course of 30 years
You'll get more from it that way compared to watching in random order
He is my fav filmmaker
I only found out in the last year that Mr. Tarantino has what you might call a... fondness for feet 🤣aka. foot fetish 🦶🤤... Learning that really changed the way I look at some of the scenes in his movies, and this one is a good example with the Snow White shoe scene 💃👠👮
I think they are all pretty great (except Death Proof)... but I would recommend Django Unchained next ;-)
Kill Bill: Volume 1 & 2
It's amazing that Christoph Waltz won two Oscars. The first for playing a nazi. The second for playing the kindest non-racist imaginable in Django unchained! Great actor!
nothing can show acting range as well as playing a racist and the opposite of a racist and winning an award for both.
Non ravist? Lol edit it again bruh
Try some of his other movies. He is just incredibly talented and from what I have seen about him personally is an exceptional human being as well.
@inigomontoya4032 I think he's underrated in James Bond
Christoph Waltz winning Oscars for two diametrically opposite characters is the new Viggo Mortenssen broke his toe.
Then again... the blood on Di Caprio's hand...
“He likes his feet analogies.”
Yeah…about that lol
🤣 He kinda does yeah
Understatement of the year.

That statement by her could have stopped at feet. 💀
And the fact that, when asked about his blatant fetish, Tarantino actually had the nerve to say it was just "good direction", and that "lots of famous directors get accused of having foot fetishes" (spoiler: nope, just you) 😂😂😂
The fact you caught the 3 fingers mistake is absolutely brilliant and you’re the first reactor out of DOZENS I’ve seen to spot it!
Brilliant!❤
I think I recall her mentioning living in Germany for a time.
@ Yeah I heard that a bit later on in the reaction but it’s still impressive to catch
but what about the cream..
@@BADDTVThat has been debated a lot, but most debates come around to the assumption that Landa knows who she is (or at least suspects), and is really just getting cream to remind her of her dairy farm roots, really just trolling her. It’s fun for him, especially because he doesn’t intend to expose her because the change of cinema falls into his escape plan. He knows she isn’t aware that she is safe in the moment, and it amuses him to torture her. A lot of folks who know a lot more than me say that a fancy restaurant would still have access to and use kosher ingredients, so according to them that is not the reason behind the cream. 🤷🏼♂️
Living in Germany for a time will definitely make you pick up on that. However, I think she's seen a few of these movies before.
Au revoir is typically just a goodbye that implies you're going to meet again, sort of like 'see you later.' It's in the same vein as 'a demain' (until tomorrow) or 'a la prochaine' (until the next time). Adieu is used in the context of more final partings, basically a forever farewell.
Yeah! That's pretty much exactly what I was told by my High School French teacher 30+ rears ago. He also said that the literal meanings of the two phrases were practically identical and the meanings depended on context.
à dieu translates to 'with god' as in short for 'go with god'.
trou trou
I agree with this interpretation, although they've become somewhat interchangeable since the birth of the digital age. Both still attempt to convey different moods and expectations though.
Yes, "au revoir, Shosanna" as she escapes is quite chilling, indicating Landa's intention to find her eventually.
Christoph Waltz is fluent in German, English and French. He learned Italian for this role. He has won two Best Supporting Actor Oscars, one for this and one for another Tarantino film…
German is the official language in Austria tbf. There is no Austrian language as such.
think he was really a lead actor in Django opposite fox
@@geraldarsenault275
No, it’s definitely a supporting role.
"Margheriti" and "Arrivederci" along with the Italian hand gestures never fails to make me laugh. The opening scene with Landa was the definition of stressful!
The best thing about this film, is the fact it discovered Christoph Waltz and introduced him to the world. Yes, he speaks all the languages. Tarantino thought an actor to play that role may not exist, and wasn’t sure he could make the film, being the most key character, then, Christoph auditioned.
Actually no, he doesn't speak all the languages. He doesn't actually speak Italian but he was able to memorize the lines well. I suspect that's due to the similarities between French, which he speaks fluently, and Italian.
@@danielg6566 - Well... Partly agree. He had a Austrian mother, and German father. So he definitely speaks German. And English to be honest. And French.
Italian? No.
Still imprresive, considering most people can speak only native language, and maybe one more. And no, there is not that may similarities between Italian and French, depending how far in time you want to go (granted they both have a roots in Latin, but French vocabulary has gone on to be influenced more heavily by German and English loanwords, and later on due to big differences in pronunciation and syntax).
I mean, you can push for similarities, sure - as French, Italian, and Spanish - at the end, all of them are languages that evolved from Latin, the language of the Roman Empire. Therefore, they are of the same origin but have developed distinct characteristics over time, and went in a different "development" ways later on.
All in all, they would struggle to understand each other (completely different than for example, comparing even modern Czech language and Polish, yeah - in most of the cases they would understand each other, in probaly 50% of cases, no issues there, no language training needed).
French and Italian in modern age? No fricking way... Some word. Sure. Pure language, speaking and so on - no. No way at all. Good luck with it.
@tannhauser5399 wow you went through all that just to prove you don't read?!? You said, "Italian? No."
I based the fact that Christoph doesn't speak Italian on an interview between Jimmy Fallon and....
CHRISTOPH WALTZ!
What do you mean "no"?
And for saying there are similarities between French and Italian? I speak English, Spanish, FRENCH, and ITALIAN! I'm also fairly good at Portuguese, FYI. So putting me on blast for saying there are similarities between French and Italian? Wow you are ignorant. Like "try hard" ignorant. Good luck with that bud!
The greatest opening scene in cinematic history. Tarantino is a master of tension building
The tension was wild!
@@LiteWeightReacting About what you said, that Hitler in the movie seems to be exactly that crazy as you imagined him... Actually, this representation is totally wrong. In private, he was totally different. You should watch the movie "Downfall" (Der Untergang) which portraits the last days of Hitler and his men in his bunker at the end of the war. The actor (Bruno Ganz) gave a phenomenal and much more realistic performance how Hitler behaved. Fantastic movie! - Best watched in German with subtitles.
Yes, the tension mounts and then there is blood splatter everywhere, LOL! xD
Cristoph speaks German (he was born in Austria), French, and English completely fluently. He actually doesn't speak Italian, so he learned that part for the film, but many Italian people have said his delivery of it was VERY accurate, and only has slight hints that he isn't a fluent speaker. He's absolutely amazing, you will see more of him.
i saw a serious interview with him, and yes, he speaks italian too, just not as fluent as french.
@@KaiserM3 I saw one where he said he was pretty good at mimicking it when he was in this movie. I'm not sure if he's since learned it. But, he sure had me convinced in this movie that he was fluent. I mean, I'm not, so it could've been gibberish, but it sure sounded like fluent Italian.
@@bdennis2004 I’d also say that Italian has very few difficult sounds, at least from German perspective. This makes it easier to pronounce it correctly for beginners.
The cream is potentially significant for two reasons:
- Cream may not be kosher, so he could have been testing her reaction to it.
- It's potentially a hint at him knowing who she is - referring back to her family history of being dairy farmers, and the first scene with the milk.
Stepping into the Tarentino world is a whirlwind experience and I love that you've started. Many more of his films are worth watching, but this one is my favorite
You always have a super intuitive reaction. I still am so impressed that you knew the 3 finger thing! So brilliant and random! The super impressive part is Tarantino knew it too! WTF LOL😃
Agree, 100%. I speak German, been to Germany, family is German, and never knew that. Her picking it up without pause is impressive. Masterful reaction.
10:56 that’s an MG42, the standard German belt fed machine gun at the time. It’s the same machine gun you saw during the beach landing scene in Saving Private Ryan. It’s notable for the fast rate of fire, 1,200-1,500 RPM. Americans GIs called the thing “Hitler’s Buzzsaw” because no other infantry machine gun could fire as fast as the MG42. The sound of the gun firing alone was so fearful that the US made a training film on dealing with the sound when attacking the MG42 in particular. How good is the MG42? It’s basically still in use today. The MG3 was a modernized version of the gun that the German military had just only recently retired, but the MG3 (difference between it and the MG42 is mainly in the caliber and improvements to the construction of the weapon, but both function the same and utilize the same overall profile) is still floating around with many smaller nations, and is even being used in Ukraine right now.
Quentin Tarantino said in an interview he likes to do extremes when it comes to tension. The scene where we as the audience know the people are under the floorboards or we have to watch the tension during the card game in the basement, he likes to stretch those scenes out as long as possible. Thats how a 20 minute scene with basically just a boring conversation can become one of the most tense moments of the movie.
There is a theory that Landa made Shoshana eat the strudel because it’s not made in a kosher way.
Ohhhhh
Yup, He was definitely testing her.
forgive me, but it’s a lame theory.
nothing in the scene or the rest of Tarantino’s filmography would make anyone who can read human emotions think that was the intent - fun conspiracy theory though, i’ll admit.
At that time strudel was commonly made with pork lard which Jews obviously couldn’t eat. It would have given her away if she’d refused it. I’m guessing only Jewish people would have understood the significance of that scene.
@@doctafloIts actually true. Strudel at that time was commonly made with pork lard which Jews obviously couldn’t eat. It could have given her away if she’d refused it. He was testing her.
I was stationed in Germany for six years and when I saw the three fingers, I knew as well!
The performance of Christoph Waltz as Colonel Hans Landa, is one of the greatests ever. What an amazing character. Terrific, classy and smart as hell.
But he made our reactor tense.
Nothing is more intense than that opening scene and the basement bar scene!
Seriously! What tension!!!
I believe the cream was possibly a hint that he knew she was from the dairy farm earlier
Yeah, it was basically that. To be honest, the first time I watched the movie I didn't pay attention to the bit at the beginning where they state that her family were dairy farmers, so when I saw that close-up of the cream my reaction was just like hers 🤣
or maybe the glass of milk he ordered for her
The music played when Donnie walked out of the tunnel was indeed from a western movie. A spaghetti western called "The Big Gundown" (1966), starring Lee Van Cleef. The version of Beethoven's "Fur Elise" played in the opening scene was also from the same film. The song played in the opening title sequence was "The Green Leaves of Summer" which was used in the 1960 movie "The Alamo" starring John Wayne.
This is my all time favorite Tarantino movie! The acting, characters, script, direction, all absolutely perfect! Christoph Waltz gave a truly terrifying and captivating performance as Hans Landa. He became the first actor to win an Oscar for a Tarantino movie for Best Supporting Actor in 2010. He would also win the same award for another Tarantino movie: Django Unchained in 2013.
That moth has been around in Hollywood for a few decades now, and is best known for his appearances in Silence Of The Lambs and The Lord Of The Rings. It comes from a family of Hollywood moths, and his great-great grandfather played the titular role in the original Godzilla vs Mothra.
👏🏻😂 👏🏻😂
Nepo-moth
The most convincing Italian accent ever put to screen....
Bonjerno...
And I believe Brad Pitt presumably made a Godfather/Brando facial interpretation to top it all off.
"Like I said, third best."
I do not know how you do the subtitles on subtitles that would drive me nuts.
The scene at the farm and the scene at the bar are two of my favorite scenes in ANY movie. This is my favorite Tarantino movie. To me, this one is ART. Christoph Waltz is amazing. He really does speak all of those languages. Brilliant guy.
Waltz was magnificent. He won the supporting actor Oscar!!! He's a great performer. One of the best actors of our time.
That's the prove we have more to offer than a Styrian oak (A. Schwarzenegger), we also have Christoph to fear for your life. While Arnie can break you like a twig, Christoph does it through cunning and intimidation.
I literally can’t eat any pie with whipped cream without thinking of the scene where he’s eating pie. It is so flipping satisfying. And the fact that context around it is so tense is jarring.
8:45 was the director getting scalped lol. This movie has some of the most tension-filled conversations in any movie. There is a really cool video that breaks down the tavern scene and the things the director did "How THIS Scene Became a Modern Masterpiece" Just came out a month ago.. Christoph Waltz as Hans Landa was incredible. The scariest part about his character is that you can not read him at all, it's terrifying. Oh yeah, the woman that gets choked at the end was actually being choked by Tarantino (44:57). He literally got hands on in that scene and made it look real since he thinks in most movies choking looks so fake. For the record, you can't go wrong with any Tarantino film.
Gonna drop a random bit of historical fact here to complement that scene from 36:00 where the woman is explaining how to order "Three glasses" the german way.
But in my case, regarding soviet soldiers back during the second world war.
My ex-wife is russian, and she had a grandfather who used to work in a factory building parts for rockets and other machinery. His name was Vitaly, and he used to tell this story where one day they caught a german spy investigating their bunkers. Same story as this movie, at first he was interrogated due to his accent, but what eventually betrayed him was the UNIFORM he was wearing.
You see, russians used buttons on their jackets and each had 4 holes, allowing for a double wrap when using a line to form a stitch. In the end, each button would display 2 vertical lines.
But the german spy had buttons with an X type of stitch instead, the kind russians never used.
And that's what got him caught.
@@MauMenzori wow..thanks for sharing this
Outstanding that you knew the German 3 fingers! I knew that from reading German sociology books in college. Everybody at my house thought I was nuts. Lol
52:28 Soshanna is seen using either an FN 1905 or Colt 1908 Vest Pocket handgun. These were early pocket handguns in .25 ACP, both models are visually identical to one another. Magazine capacity is 6 rounds.
Loved this! Yeah, your reaction to Christoph Waltz's performance in this is exactly how most Americans unfamiliar with his work reacted. We didn't know who we was before this, but we came out of this knowing he was one hell of an amazing actor. I watched this movie for the first time not long after he was nominated for an Oscar for it, and just that opening scene made me go "Oh, I get it." I didn't pay attention to who else was nominated that year, but, when he actually won, my reaction was "Well deserved!"
@20:38, the significance of the cream is that it was made with pork, so it was a test to see how she would react to it. Landa does a lot of similar tests in other scenes. For instance, in the opening scene, when he asks for the milk, he grabs the wrist of one of the daughters to pose the question, but actually, he's checking her pulse, seeing if its elevated.
He also probably knows who she is since in the beginning he didn't even see her face and knew which family member she was.
I thought it was the strudel itself which was commonly made with pork lard then. Maybe the same applies to the cream. Either way, he was definitely testing her and would surely have made him suspicious of her being a Jewess.
@@shanenonwolfe4109You’re contradicting yourself. Theres no way he could have suspected she was that same girl, but was testing to see if she was a Jew. He wasn’t called the Jew hunter for no reason.
@@shanenonwolfe4109he knew who she was because she's the only young woman in the family.. it's not exactly some Sherlock levels of deductions there.
@@1972dsrai I think that he already knew who she was from the start, and was beginning to set up an opportunity to defect; he already knew which way the war was going, so naturally, he played along.
The part with the strudel, in my opinion, was just a cruel little game to him. He knew she was going to have to eat it, and relished in forcing her to do something she didn't want to do. The odds are very good that he already ran a background check on her before he got there, and immediately knew something wasn't right with her story.
"There's something else I wanted to ask you... But, for the life of me, I can't remember what it was."
Translation: I already know. But we'll keep that between us.
1:33 Yes, she is in a couple of Daniel Craig Bond movies, and Christoph Waltz is in them too. Many people believe that there is a subtle nod to this movie in Specter. Her character comes face to face with Waltz's character for the first time in that movie, and he says something like "Yes, I visited your father's house before."
Which is what he does in this movie.
Dudes gettin beaten to death with a baseball bat and she's just giggling away. 😂
The actor who played Hugo also played Mark in SLC Punk, an epic role in an awesome movie. I recommend it to anyone who hasnt seen it
"Bongiorno" busted me and my wife up so bad, we still say it to each other to this day. 😂😂😂 ❤❤❤
'Adieu' means "goodbye." 'Au revoir' means "I'll see you again"
That's why Hans Landa told Shoshana "Au revoir." He knew he'd have to hunt her down again.
I love the little details. It makes these films so goo.
Adieu literally means "toGod." It is most frequently said as a final goodbye where one has no expectation of seeing the person alive ever again.
Sorry to jump in, but 'goodbye' implies you'll be seeing them again. "Adieu" implies they will never see each other again, so I'd say it means 'farewell'
@@duanebidoux6087 That's weird, 'cause in other Romance languages we don't use it as a final goodbye (at least not anymore).
Speaking of, _adieu_ can be used in a romantic way, under very definite circumstances. As in, _we obviously fancy one another but we must part ways, if ever we were to be reunited it would be with the help of God, therefore fateful and meant to be._ Zoller saying _adieu_ to Mimieux in their first meeting is one-sided, as Mimieux overtly display displeasure at Zoller's mere presence, which shows Zoller to be obtuse and immature. I never consciously thought about it until today (I'm not really good at reading social cues), but it's pretty obviously the moment I started thinking about it. If Tarantino wrote the dialogue specifically to convey that, I'd be in awe. Frankly, that's the kind of shit he pulls off in his English dialogue, so I'm more than willing to believe it was all on purpose.
Now that I think about it, Mimieux saying _au revoir_ instead when she storms out of the café/diner at their second meeting might also have been on purpose, to clearly convey that there was nothing 'fateful' happening.
Excellent reaction. You picked up on so many subtleties. Also, lots of people become scared when being screamed at & threatened. But, ALL people are scared by quiet, controlled threats. Tarrantino plays on this and wrings out the maximum suspense from such scenes. Good job, keep it up. ; )
French here !
"Au revoir" is use for every day discussion, and when we know that we will meet again. It litteraly translates as "at the re-seen", so the closer translation i can think of is "see you next time".
"Adieu" implies that we will never see each other anymore, it's mostly use for dramatic effect. This one translate to "to god", so something like "I'll see you with god/when i'm dead".
Thank you for clearing that up 😊
@@LiteWeightReacting Brazilian here! 😊 @milhouse8525 's explanation of "adieu" perfectly applies to Romance languages. In all of them, like in French, Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, and Romanian - there’s a specific word with the same origin (ad Deum) for a definitive farewell: adieu, adeus, adiós, addio, adio. These terms are used to mark the end of a relationship, a long-term separation, or even to express a desire to never see someone again. No wonder they say we are intense and dramatic! 😜
As a non-nativer French speaker, I associate ‘adieu’ with something more historic; dictionaries support that notion but also say it’s used more in the South of France. But then ‘Adieu’ is also used in German, though maybe more as a noun as in “a tearful adieu”, with also regional differences in usage. German has derivations of that with ‘adjüs’, ‘ade’, and via ‘atschüs’ to ‘tschüss’.
Looking at Google ngram, which scans word usage in books, in French, the usage of ‘au revoir’ has increased significantly over the last two decades. But books don’t reflect oral usage exactly and what is published in books might also have shifted over time.
“Sorry I’m in my WWII era rn”
Me, quickly scrolling through your recent vids since I’ve been away for a while: “oh muh gawd, you are”
Michael Fassbender starred in Centurion the same year as this. Brad Pitt is also in the was film Fury. The actress playing the movie star, Diane Kruger, is also in Troy and both National Treasure films
One thing i noticed about Hans Landa: when he was speaking to the farmer in the beginning, he spoke of his nickname with certain pride in his voice. But when negotiating for a favorable terms with Aldo Raine, he talked as if the nickname disgusted him. It was his psychopathic(?) way of trying to paint himself as a man who's doing his job well, which just happened to be hunting people.
"au revoir" is the standard way to say "goodbye" and is used in most situations, while "adieu" is a more formal or poetic way to say farewell....so her using au revoir fits since she doesn't see a need to be formal with someone she hates
I've seen this movie probably a dozen times and I was only today years old when it dawned on me that the OSS Commander on the phone was Harvey Keitel.
"Adieu" is Farewell, which implies they are not meant to see other again. It's very formal, poetic, not really used anymore except in dramatic situations.
As for "Au revoir", it translates into litterally "To be seen again", is the equivalent of "Till we meet again", quite self-explanatory once you know that. It's the french usual way to say goodbye to someone in a polite way
Hey, French Canadian here. Great explanation above, could not have said it better.
One rare usage is in a sort of romantic context, like when Zoller says to Mimieux _adieu_ in their first encounter. However, it's completely one-sided and shows the character of Zoller to be immature/brusque (since Mimieux obviously couldn't stand him). Landa's usage near the end of the opening sequence is ironic, used as a keyword for his goons to start shooting. As far as his character goes, I'm sure he'd find that small twist deeply amusing.
The "Basement Shootout" is one of the best written, acted and directed scene in cinema. Your first QT film and you start with one of his best imo. To me this is his "mature phase". Dialogue and character take center stage, making his later films more like stage plays. Christoph Waltz is PERFECTION. How many other actors have given a performance in English, German, French and Italian, in one film. Next watch Hateful 8 and then Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (my personal fav and his best imo). Enjoy 🙂
"Jackie Brown" is another amazing Tarantino film with a great soundtrack...Defo worth a watch
At least this one didn't make you cry. It's great to see you.Laughing and enjoying a really funny movie
Totally agree! And that was the intention!
Even if you don't react to it now, you Need to check out the outpost. A true story.. It has Orlando Bloom Scott Eastwood Milo Gison. An outstanding Supporting cast. Two people in this battle received the medal of honor both of them are alive. And that is truly rare
And keep doing tarantino
40:55
The genuine laugh Waltz give off at that point is one of the most spine chilling moments in a movie I can remember. They know they are screwed at that point but everyone still continue the charade.
Hey Teegan! I’ve never seen this movie, largely because I’m not a fan of Tarantino’s movies. But to support your channel, I’ll give the TH-cam edit a watch. The one Tarantino movie that I did enjoy a lot is Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. I thought the on screen chemistry between Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt was fantastic, it has a great soundtrack, and the retro backdrop is fun. As always, thanks for being one of the best reactors I have experienced.
Thanks for continuing to support the channel even though this movie isn’t up your alley! I appreciate you!!
15:15 adieu means goodbye whilst “au revoir” means “to the “reseeing”” as in till we see each other again/see you soon but slightly more polite
"Adieu" means "farewell", so the people are parting ways forever, while "au revoir", yes, means "goodbye", so the one who says it means to see the other person again.
Christoph Waltz did such an amazing job in this and he 100% deserved the Oscar he got for this. Now Django Unchained is a must watch after this to see his second Oscar winning performance! Also because it's a fantastic movie, probably my favourite Tarantino movie after Pulp Ficiton.
14:05 the leaf was no accident. It was intended to be symbolic of the stars the Nazis would mark Jews with. Or, as they say in Office Space: pieces of flair.
The way you used a comment on a great movie to reference another gray movie. Chef's kiss. The fact that Peter even said "The Nazis had pieces of flair that they made the Jews wear" is so good.
I saw this movie at the Director's Guild in Hollywood when it was released. There was about 100 people there. I happened to know a member and she took me. Quentin Tarantino came out on the stage before the film and introduced it, then after the film he came back out with another guy, did an on-stage interview then took questions from the audience. The guy is very very smart.
I knew the three fingers sign because I'm from Dallas and we had Dirk Nowitzki put his hand up in that same motion after every 3pt he sunk.
5:33 you would love the short movie Your Friend the Rat which complements the Pixar movie Ratatouille.
15:11 "Au revoir" could be translated as "See you later" and it means you expect to see the person again. "Adieu" could be translated "May God watches over you" and it means you do not expect to see the person again. In the context of the scene, "Adieu" could be translated as "See you never".
57:43 French is relatively close to Italian, English and German have the same roots, and English is heavily influenced by French. I do not know if the actor speaks those 4 languages, but learning them is not as hard as learning 4 unrelated languages.
8:44 There are videos of clips from a film called Downfall where Hitler's shouting at his men and people added in funny subtitles of him apparently shouting about how he hated Justin Bieber or complaining about bad movies.
Those are hilarious.
I think I’ve seen one of those!
Das war ein Befehl!!! Der Angriff Steiners war ein Befehl!!!
My favorite is him screaming about kingdom hearts 358/2 days 😂
Most of the score was composed by the legendary Ennio Morricone, who also composed most of the famous scores from the spaghetti western movies in the 60's and 70's that Tarantino grew up loving.
Inglorious Basterds truly is one of the greatest movies ever made. In 30 years it will be regarded as the best film of the decade for sure
I'm so glad you appreciated Christoph Waltz! (The Austrian pronunciation would be Valtz.) Check out Django and I think you'll come to love him even more. Yes, he's fluent in many European languages. My German step daughter is also proficient in 4 languages (she too can slip between them effortlessly), and she speaks a bit of 4 others. This is much more common in Europe.
My favorite Tarantino movie is Jackie Brown. Mush less bloody violence -- the cast is impeccable, and the plot is glorious!
If you get to Once Upon a Time in Hollywood..., there's a reference to Italian directors, and it's the Margheriti and DeCocco. I love that he dovetails the names through two movies.
This editing was wildly good haha I’m jealous 😂
Tension, dialogue, and feet are Tarantino staples
Fun fact: Til Schweiger, the guy who played Hugo Stieglitz is a german actor who is mostly known for making the cheesiest of cheesy (romantic) comedies in Germany so it was kinda funny to see him in this. You may have recognized him from playing the bad guy in This Means War. Also au revoir is a general goodbye and adieu is more of a final farewell and then there is also salut which is an informal way of saying hi/bye and yes nitrate film is not only extremely flammable, it is also a pain in the ass to put out once it gets going because its combustion reaction produces its own oxygen
28:10 I love this Guy. August Diehl is such a Presence in every Scene.
Fun fact: Tarantino wrote the Bear Jew character for Adam Sandler but unfortunately he declined. The sound of the bat hitting the ball was supposed to lead to the big reveal but womp womp. Still was a great movie.
The Fredrick Zoller character having a movie made about his "exploits" reminds me of something. The most decorated American soldier in WW2 was Audie Murphy after the war he became an actor. He also wrote a book about his life and his time in the war called "To Hell and Back," that book was turned into a movie with the same title. Audie initially turned down the idea of starring as himself in the movie but eventually took the role.
I'm not a Tarantino fan, very far from it, but this movie is truely incredible. The tavern scene is a masterpiece in cinematography, blocking and story telling.
His movie "Once upon a time in hollywood" is also incredible, a must watch.
Christoph Waltz (Landa) is fluent in french, english, italian and of course german, since he is german. Same with Diane Kruger, who plays Bridget, she's also german, and is fluent in english and french also, they actually dubbed themself for french version for most of their movie.
And shoutout to Melanie Laurent, playing Shoshana, she is a very famous french actress, and that's one of her best role !
22:17 Yes, it’s estimated around 75-90% of films made before 1929 are forever gone. Most of them burned
“Maybe he does that in every movie” - Yes, he does that in every movie.
I had a pet rat too, they are great!
Does Landa know? That is the source of tension in this movie
7:30 Aldo Raine has a red arrow head patch on his shoulders this is from the First Special Service Force aka "The Black Devils" or "Devil's Brigade". This was a joint US-Canadian unit. Although it's purpose was not 'killing nazis' they did end up doing a lot of that and leaving a message on dead Germans "The worst is yet to come". A likely inspiration for this movie.
There's a fantastic scene by scene breakdown of the bar scene (on youtube) showing the brilliance of how it's filmed to inform the viewer of certain facts and how he builds that tension- Of course every single element on screen is intentional - from the fact it's filmed in a basement to how the shots are framed to make the scene cramped increasing the anxiety
The language change is great so many actors speaking so many languages it’s so cool
There's a quote from Hitchcock that explains some of what Tarantino utilized here. He said that there is a difference between "suspense" and "surprise," and yet many pictures continually confuse the two.
Then he gives an example of two scenes, both a normal scene with some people talking, but there's a bomb under the table. In both scenes the bomb goes off at the end but in only one of the scenes the audience knows about the bomb beforehand. You can probably guess which one of the scenes is the suspenseful one.
This movie has a couple all time great scenes. That opening and the bar scene are incredible.
YES!!! Pet rats are VERY underrated! Mine are Ash & Snow, 2 Fancy Male Rats who are shy with everything including the breeze.
Easily one of my top 5 movies of all time. Every actor plays their part well , and love the tension sparks. The scene where they are portraying as Italians always gets me 😂🤌🏽 “Raverdarchii”
Oh the tavern scene is GENIUS, I love it so much, especially the Gestapo agent. He's as intelligent, insightful, patient, manipulative and intimidating as Landa, the audience is not counting on another character just like this in the same movie
More than one character is allowed to be this effective, which you do not see anywhere else, usually such characters are surrounded by idiots whose only purpose is to make said character look smart by comparison
My grandfather fraught in Normandy. He would regularly wake up screaming about his boots. It’s because there weren’t enough so when you died they took them. It was much worse in the Civil War.
Antonio Margheriti was a famous italian director of the 60s, 70s and 80s who shot lots of fantasy and sci-fi movies, there's an indie movie award named after him, Enzo Gorlomi is a reference to Enzo Girolami Castellari, the italian director who shot the original 1978 inglorious bastards, he actually makes a cameo in that scene, 42:21 he is that old guy in the background with the white gloves, Dominic Decocco is the only made up name
Mate ur reactions get better and better with every video :)
The difference between Adieu (Good Bye), and Au Revoir (Until we meet again), where Au Revoir is similar to Auf Wiedersehen (German, Until we meet again).
Christoph Waltz (Landa) was also in Django Unchained, He speaks fluent German, French, English and a little Italian. They were having A LOT of trouble casting Landa, until Waltz came along.
The significance of the cream with the strudel when he talks with Shoshanna, She is Jewish (Her family was) and were dairy farmers, so the Cream (and the milk) was him testing her out, which makes you wonder if he KNEW it was her or not, Given that Cream and milk would not break Kosher if she was in fear of her life.
I have watched this movie for so many years and I have never noticed the ticking clock in the opening scene... my goodness
Tarantino's gathering of THESE particular actors was genius. And these actors are beyond genius.
"Au revoir" is the standard French way to say "goodbye" and can be used in most situations, while "adieu" is a more formal and dramatic way to say farewell, typically used when implying a long or permanent separation and considered somewhat old-fashioned in modern French.
Au revoir (in context) is similar to see you later, whereas adieu is similar to good night. Au revoir translates to goodbye, while adieu is farewell
We also had a pet rat. Smart, affectionate, clean. Whenever I see a rat in a movie it makes me think of him.
Nitrate films were very flammable that they'd probably be classified as Hazardous materials today. That's why each film was stored in a metal airtight container.
The flammability of nitrate films is legit. Xray once used cellulose nitrate as the film base and there was a very real problem with hospital fires. They switched to polyester bases because of it.
that opening scene is peak cinema. 20 minutes of tension building with pure dialogue!
Yes. A masterpiece.
By the way. I don't know the rules in occupied France. In Poland this farmer and his daughters would have been killed for hiding Jews.
I had to write this. Many contemporary politicians are angry at Poles for not wanting to help Jews.
@piotrzagorski611 yeah tarrantino took some liberty there, my guess is he would also have been killed in France
Great reaction. This is one of my favorite movies and my favorite Tarantino film. I've seen a lot of reactors and you are the only one that noticed the three German fingers. Also clever commentary.
I don't really like reaction videos, but you're one of the best I know. very pleasant and intelligent reaction video
Waltz's performance is one of the greatest I've ever seen in film.
OMG! First Tarantino flick! You definitely need to run through them all. My favourite director.
As a screenwriter, the first scene is a masterclass of tension, perfect dialogue, and unknowing knowledge of the audience.
It's like telling the audience there's a ticking time bomb under the characters' feet, but the characters don't. You're waiting for it to go off, and every second is stretched out to a minute.
Never noticed till you pointed it out, but the music in the opening scene hits different. Combination of Beethoven and the strumming from old western movies. Beethoven for the Germans, old west for the stand-off that’s about to take place.
Absolutely one of my favorite reactors, I'm looking forward to more Tarentino reactions. Everything he does is masterful. Inglorious Bastards is definitely one of my favorites. Thank you for making my Saturday 🙏♥️
The focus on the dessert was because that pastry was made with pig lard, which went against Jewish religion. He ordered it to see if she had a reaction. The milk was because her family were dairy farmers
