The fact that Christoph Waltz won an Academy Award for this role and his character in Django is amazing. The characters in each are complete polar opposites from each other.
@@itzthejhenny I would not say he was an accomplished actor in Europe. Only been in some obscure tv movies and shows. Also, in theater. Not much success in popular or arthouse german-austrian feature films It makes his brilliance in Tarantino movies even more surprising
J describing Landa as "M. Bison" is the most genius yet obvious description of him that I've ever heard and I've seen this movie a zillion times since catching it in the theaters as a teenager. This is why J's reactions are whole treasures; he sees and gets things with connections in his own way that somehow makes sense to EVERYONE. I love this channel. J and Blank, I see you both!
I've said it before and I'll say it always: this is QT's greatest screenplay. The story, the structure, the dialogue, the characters.. everything is so meticulous and fine-tuned that it makes you wonder how one person can come up with this stuff. Oh, and this soundtrack hits like no other in his filmography. From Ennio Morricone to Billy Preston to Jacques Loussier to David muddafukkin' Bowie, nothing but incredible music throughout this bad boy.
Fun facts. The Narrator is Samuel L Jackson uncredited The Bear Jew role was written specifically for Adam Sandler but he was unable to do it due to conflicting contracts.
The strudel scene is one of my favorite scenes in anything. Knowing both Tarantino's filmmaking and the actual history of WW2, it's secretly one of the most layered and nuanced scenes with almost no context given. It's amazing how subtle Tarantino can be with his filmmaking.
I don't think the projectionist boyfriend died in the fire. In fact, I swear I remember a shot in the movie where he sneaks out the back door, where Shoshana was supposed to join him.
One of the perfect examples of a man being BORN to play a role. Christoph absolutely cemented himself in the history of film as one of the greatest villains ever conceived
I love the dichotomy between Mister LaPidite's and Shoshanna's respective scenes with Hans Landa. Tarantino hits every beat the same. Intense questioning behind a veneer of geniality and politeness. The choice of milk as a drink, as well as the focus on the cream both being dairy products is meant to subconsciously put in your mind that Landa is no fool and he knows. But he's got his on machinations in store.
That beginning scene with Christoph Waltz is my all-time fav and Waltz instantly became my favourite actor after watching it for the first time, his acting skills are second to none in my opinion.
He didn’t shoot her as she ran away near the start of the movie probably just for practical reasons. The practical range of a pistol is about 25 yards, and after that it becomes incredibly hard to hit anything. The sight radius, the distance between the front sight and the rear sight, is just too short. The longer the sight radius is, the more accurate you can be. A rifle shot with open sights that are similar to the pistol sights is more accurate than the pistol mostly just because the sight radius is so much longer. The longer the sight radius is, the finer control you have. Close one eye and hold your wrist up to the side of your jaw so it is touching it, so that you can look down your finger at the opposite side of the room. Now without moving your wrist off your chin, wiggle your finger back and forth and make note of how far it is moving back and forth relative to something on the wall over there, like a clock, or whatever you see over there. Now extend your arm forward all the way and keep it steady while you wiggle your finger again. You’ll see it moves much less against the opposite wall now. That’s a longer sight radius. And that’s what makes it difficult to hit anything that far with a pistol. Small movements at the distance of the end of the pistol make for large movements at the target distance. Small movements at the end of a rifle barrel make for smaller movements at the target distance.
Oh my god man, the soundtrack in this, oh, we sat right through the entire end credits in the cinema back in 2009. Oh my god was this thing fantastic in the theatre
Also, you NEED to watch the absolutely bonkers cult classic Grindhouse. Do NOT watch Planet Terror and Death Proof by themselves, watch the entire 3 hour experience. You won't regret it.
"Shut up! That scared me... He's about to lose his 💩..." The slow fade to Hugo being whipped as the officer explains the game is the funniest moment in Inglorious Basterds to me. Til Schwieger is wildly underrated in America but his expressions are hilarious. You absolutely need to seek out SLC Punk for one of his earliest American roles and a great performance from Matthew Lillard.
Every time I’ll come for the movie, then stay for the puppies I can’t help but smile when I see them laying there. They’ve got the good life on the bed blankets and everything lol.
Tarantino had this script for years, and knew that finding the perfect actor for Landa was the key to making the movie. After thousands of auditions all over the world and years of searching... he was about to give up. He told everyone he had given up and was going to sell the screenplay. He was convinced to do one final round of auditions. On the last day at zero hour, in walks Christoph Walz, who apparently thought he had a terrible audition. Tarintino picked up the phone and said "we have the movie"
28:55 The mistake that gave them away was how he used his fingers to indicate the number 3. Typically, most European countries start with their thumb. This was a common mistake for American spies during this time in history.
Oh my gosh...J's startle and expression at 16:00 when the bat hits the guy's head is one of the funniest things I have ever seen in a reaction...I would have spit out my coffee, if I had been drinking it instead of making it. ROFLMAO 😁💯😂 Also...fun-ish fact...the hands around Bridget Von Hammersmark's neck in the strangling scene are Quentin Tarantino's. Waltz was uncomfortable with choking Diane Kruger as hard as Tarantino wanted, so Quentin went ahead and did the strangling himself...hopefully, with the full consent and acceptance of Ms Kruger, but I honestly do not know for sure about that. 👍😎 And that is called a "punch pistol" 43:30...real thing from WW2.
I like to think Landa was a police detective before the war and found a way to adapt his skills for the Third Reich. That was a mistake. Great performance from Christoph Waltz, one of the most eclectic and vibrant I've ever seen.
The crazy thing I learned about the guy who played Hugo Stiglitz (I can never type his name right) is he's a very well known German actor who absolutely refused any film role where he'd have to wear a Nazi uniform. He took this role only because it was made very clear that his character was only wearing one as an infiltrator to kill Nazis.
You should catch Waltz in "Alita: Battle Angel". He did a great job with a different character. The French farmer was just scared of Landa, but the whole machine behind him. The Germans were well know for disappearing people and what the Gestapo could do even to those they released.
Landa strangled her because he was a serial killer at heart and knew he would never be held accountable for killing her. Aldo's Art on Landa's forehead would have likely saved lives on Nantucket!
I've always thought Landa was so savage in choking out BVH because she had the audacity to tell him such a bold faced lie. Why didn't she just say she tripped and fell down some stairs?
Easily my favourite Tarantino film, and the only one I end up wanting to rewatch. His other movies are fine, but I'm usually good with only watching them once
The scariest part of Hans Landa is that it's hinted at the fact he doesn't actually have any issue with Jews. Or anyone really. What's scary is he is effectively the most civilized and self-controlled Sociopath/Psychopaths presented in film, and it's implied he would have done his job against any target group of his bosses: he wants the accolades, the rewards, and the challenge of it, regardless of the target or what he needs to do to achieve results.
Hitler actually DID have time to watch movies. He didn't get up until around 9am and then usually started the day with breakfast and a movie. Didn't get down to the business of overseeing the BIGGEST WAR IN HUMAN HISTORY until the early afternoon.
He lets her go in the beginning because he is especially sick and will take joy in slowly hunting her. It's later in the film with the strudel scene - He knows who she is and what she is pretending to be and uses her in his plot. He is an extreme opportunist. A very sadistic hunter who will flip on the dime for self-preservation. Another note - To me, there's an implication of intimacy with his aid that gets killed by Aldo after they surrender. Another piece of the puzzle. Very complex villain.
Shoshanna's boyfriend MIGHT have gotten out, it's not clear. He probably had the back exit behind the screen ready for him to use and then re-lock, he just had to make sure the fire was actually going to happen and then run like hell. Then again, it's been theorized that Shoshanna wasn't planning on getting out alive & he would've been okay dying with her, so it could go either way. Frankly, I think once he ignited the nitrate film and it worked, he took off.
"we just got out of slavery, so I know you ain't doing this girl!" France didn't have a slave trade like the U.S. did. "I know he's dead in this movie, now!" Actually, he survives!
I mean it took France long enough to abolish it. It doesn't seem that it was officially abolished until the french revolution (much like the civil war in the US). France made some type of decree around 1300 that allowed slaves to buy their own freedom from the slave owner, but they weren't given proper freedom until 400 years later (which is frankly older than the entire USA we're not even 250 years old yet). At one point France was the 3rd largest importer of slaves during the transatlantic slave trade. The USA abolished slavery within 100 years of forming the country. Not many countries can say they progressed that quickly.
The fact that Christoph Waltz won an Academy Award for this role and his character in Django is amazing. The characters in each are complete polar opposites from each other.
Agree! Waltz was an accomplished European actor prior to this movie. I appreciate that this movie led me to his talents.
That called as a acting 🤷
@@itzthejhenny I would not say he was an accomplished actor in Europe. Only been in some obscure tv movies and shows.

Christopher Waltz gives one of the GREATEST villain performances of all time.
"THAT'S A BINGO!!! Is that how you say it?"
Love this one. Christoph Waltz is amazing in this one. ☺
When Christoph Waltz makes you adore him (his character) in Django Unchained and despise him in this movie...you simply give him two Oscars 😂
"He's giving up underwear sizes, everything" lol This is why we love watching you. Love your content.
@esinohio o spit out my coffee I was laughing so hard 🤣

"Utivitch... I think this may be my masterpiece..."
I suspect Quentin thinks so too 🤔
My heart is still with Pulp Fiction but this one might be his best.
I cannot believe this is 16 years old!! Holy cow.
Fun facts.
The Narrator is Samuel L Jackson uncredited
The Bear Jew role was written specifically for Adam Sandler but he was unable to do it due to conflicting contracts.
"Jailhouse tattoos with Crocodile Dundee's knife" Always got me laughing, J😂😂😂

Christolph Waltz is one hell of an actor. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 and Brad Pitt cracks me up in this!
first scenes in this movie still some of my favorite cinema part of all time, Waltz earned the oscar in just that scene
I don't think the projectionist boyfriend died in the fire. In fact, I swear I remember a shot in the movie where he sneaks out the back door, where Shoshana was supposed to join him.

Fun fact- Adam Sandler was supposed to be The Bear Jew. I can't imagine him with that bat but I'd love to see an alt reality where that happened haha
Mister Deeds Beats a Nazi...or 50 Bat Kills...which would be funnier, if Sandler played that part? LOL
And it would be a hockey stick instead of a baseball bat.
"Hey, this movie's bloody, ain't it? It's gonna be a bloody ass movie."
Tarantino, man. That's all that has to be said.
The scene where you kept asking "who is this?" - That is actually Mike Myers. Makeup did a great job making him not look like it, tho.
24:27 That’s Mike Myers! Austin Powers himself! Party on, Wayne!
That beginning scene with Christoph Waltz is my all-time fav and Waltz instantly became my favourite actor after watching it for the first time, his acting skills are second to none in my opinion.
As great as pretty much everything in this movie is, Waltz's performance elevates it to another level.

The dogs getting comfortable in the background. At the start of the movie... Is just as good as everything else.
Bravo.
My man Eom, Mbison was played by Raul Julia, and he died during filming/post production.
I was waiting for the moment that guy in the beginning pulled out the Calabash pipe. Dude thinks himself Sherlock Holmes.
That’s Austin Powers! Yeah baby!!!😂
24:35 that is Michael Myers, he played Austin powers!
Wayne’s world!!
...and voiced Shrek 😂
Oh my god man, the soundtrack in this, oh, we sat right through the entire end credits in the cinema back in 2009.
Oh my god was this thing fantastic in the theatre
I was anticipating a bunch of Jay’s “stfu” comments, which is his catchphrase, and he did not disappoint. Thank you, Jay! 👍
Awesome Movie and Work Bro, Thanks Again!!😎👍👍👍 Greetings from Finland🇫🇮🇺🇸🇫🇮🇺🇸
Also, you NEED to watch the absolutely bonkers cult classic Grindhouse. Do NOT watch Planet Terror and Death Proof by themselves, watch the entire 3 hour experience. You won't regret it.
They're both worth watching for the different scenes in each - but the trailers in the Grindhouse intermission are gold!
I can’t scream Mike Myers loud enough!!🤣
Nope! Has to be Austin Powers grandfather!
"Shut up! That scared me... He's about to lose his 💩..."
The slow fade to Hugo being whipped as the officer explains the game is the funniest moment in Inglorious Basterds to me. Til Schwieger is wildly underrated in America but his expressions are hilarious.
You absolutely need to seek out SLC Punk for one of his earliest American roles and a great performance from Matthew Lillard.
Jackie Brown please
Every time I’ll come for the movie, then stay for the puppies I can’t help but smile when I see them laying there. They’ve got the good life on the bed blankets and everything lol.
Hard to believe Landa and Schultz (Django) are the same actor.
Both German, very different philosophies, amazing actor!
QT is my favorite director. Everything he touches is a masterpiece.

Yes! This!

The He good at 19:16 reminded me of coming to America when they are talking about sexual chocolate
I love that they got Eli Roth to play the Bear Jew.
Fun fact: The cigarette in the dessert resembles the chimney of the home she was in when her family was 86ed. 🚬
Your dog looks at you so lovingly, it’s great
I like to think Landa was a police detective before the war and found a way to adapt his skills for the Third Reich. That was a mistake. Great performance from Christoph Waltz, one of the most eclectic and vibrant I've ever seen.
Austin Powers is in this. Mike Myers. Short cameo but the accent is a dead giveaway. He is the man explaining operation kino
I saw this flick on opening weekend in Hollywood and Stiffler was sitting next to us. Life can be a trip.
General Ed Fenech, the man who gave Fassbender his job was played by Mike Myers (Shrek, Austin Powers).
The crazy thing I learned about the guy who played Hugo Stiglitz (I can never type his name right) is he's a very well known German actor who absolutely refused any film role where he'd have to wear a Nazi uniform. He took this role only because it was made very clear that his character was only wearing one as an infiltrator to kill Nazis.
Pretty sure Waltz won an award for that roll.

Lt. Aldo Raine played by Brad Pitt has a rope scar on his neck. Some say he was lynched for being mixed with Native American blood. He survived.
That first scene is one of , if not the best opening scene in Cinema.
The British guy talking to Magneto is Mike Myers! 😉
🖤🌹🖤🧛🏻♀️
The guy you couldnt figure out who he was was Mike Myers. Ya know the Austin Powers guy.
this movie is historically as accurate as armageddon
I couldn't even focus on the first 5 minutes of the video lmao. That dog in the background managed to get himself all the way under the blanket.
A treat of a Movie.I don't watch many these days.Love the pups.😘🙏
I'm here for the pooches 🐶🐶
I’m surprised that you didn’t recognize Christof Waltz’s performance as the “dentist” from D’Jango Unchained.
🖤🌹🖤🧛🏻♀️
The interracial relationship is normal in Europe in that time. Slavery was an American thing.
I've always thought Landa was so savage in choking out BVH because she had the audacity to tell him such a bold faced lie. Why didn't she just say she tripped and fell down some stairs?
One of my favorite movies! Let’s go Jay!!!
this, django, and hollywood are my top 3 QT movies. i can’t even rank them as 1st 2nd or 3rd best, they’re all incredible.
"She died CLUELESS!" 🤬🤣🤣🤣
Lg! Mdr Whistle, Blank and the co pilots! Blank always on point! Thank y'all for the videos

Great reaction.
Edit: Lol @ "If I were to shoot someone I woulda never checked on 'em afterwards." Yup!
Agree 100% on the Opening scene,,,sorta like Annie Wilcox getting Paul to Burn his Book in Misery,,,the Vibe they Put'Off is palpable!!!
"The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare" is definitely "Inglourious Basterds 2".
And F Trump too.
You need to watch Once Upon a Time in Hollywood soon. It’s Tarantino examining the sixties as well as the Manson murders
He lets her go in the beginning because he is especially sick and will take joy in slowly hunting her.

The Brit general is Mike Myers. AKA Austin Powers. Haha
I heard that Adam Sandler was originally the one QT wanted to play the Bear Jew
👏👏👏 Bravo! 👏👏👏 Best Tarantino movie ever!!
24:24 ..."Who is That"....itz Austin Powers Baby Yeahhh!!!🎉
Four Rooms!!! You’ll love it!!!!!
Hugo Boss went to another level when he designed the black, sinister ‘SS’ Gestopo uniforms, right?!😎😉
Yeah, why did he have to make the Nazis so ducking stylish.
Generally the Pipes are that Huge to cool the smoke before inhaling,... or purely to Show'Off lol
I don't remember if you've done it but Jackie Brown is quietly one of Tarantino's best works & the soundtrack is 2nd to none!!!
24:34 that’s Austin powers bro🤣
the one you kept saying who is that was, Mike Myers,, Austin Powers,,,,, DO BEHAVE

That last line wasn't a scene, it was meta commentary.
