I think in Landa's case, it means he's inescapable. You have no where to hide, no way to conceal yourself against him. His sees all, hears all. Terrifying.
Waltz’ acting was incredible and it is without doubt one of Tarantino’s greatest characters but the big surprise for me was how Pitt not only held his own in their scenes together but stole the show.
The opening scene and the dialogue between the Frenchman and Landa is fantastic movie making. Writing, acting, camerawork, lighting, EVERYTHING works toward ratcheting up the tension of the scene.
100%, I learned English in school but German and Finnish with work and pure curiosity, not only to understand but to blend in with society, an awesome experience, plus my native language, Croatian, I even tried to learn Hindi but it became a big pain my head after that
Is he still fluent? Has he met the most holy trinity’s birth mom? Is Yaweh’s mom a virgin? Do you believe in virgin births? I do. How do I know Yaweh’s Mom is not a virgin? What about Mary, Jesus’ Mom? Nope. How do you know?
@@peterk8909 I agree except that I did not judge. Who do you quote or misquote? A book? A dead demigod like Yaweh who or his birth mother or his grandfather Zeus or Beowulf
@user-vv5hv4ti8n stop trolling to be controversial. You have no reason to doubt his statement, which I believe is true unless proven otherwise. My grandfather was a mechanic in the war. That's it. Humble. He served. OSS is who they make movies about.
Academic Europeans from smaller countries might speak several languages at least decently. I myself can communicate with not much of an accent in several too. I might not be fluent in terms of vocabulary or grammar but still my pronunciation is ok. That’s what might be a bit of a musical ear. But I know a lot of people around who speak besides their native at least two other languages very well.
Knew a man who survived WWII because of his ability to speak a new language like a local within about six weeks. He was Czech, and when I was a kid my mom was best friends with his German wife. He spoke English like he was born here, and had survived through the war and various ebbs and flows of the various military's. His wife, German told my mom the story... Some people can do it, the vast majority of us cannot. Here's one who does it online, I first watched him speaking Chinese then other languages. His latest I believe is Navajo...
I have Czech and russian as mother tongues, learned English via the internet/youtube, and studied Spanish for 8 years (also spent some time in Andalucía). Recently I've been reading and listening to Ukrainian but I still don't have a very big vocabulary in it. Also started French courses.
Christoph Waltz MADE the Landa character, Tarantino just likes to take credit for it. How about he say something like “Waltz was the best actor I could have ever picked to bring this character to life”. Ego. Yeesh
See him acting the character "Dorfmann", a guy who went to Brussels, which meant fighting against Burocracy of the EE.UU., I just don't recall the movies name, but it's worth it.
Ervry time Col. Landa showed up he made everybody else disappear. What a great personality. Mr. Waltz is a fantastic performer, suave, educated and full of Old World charm.
few people that speak several languages. Many, manyyyyy people speak at least two. That is totally normal. Even three languages is not rare. One language is rare(but maybe normal in the US?).
Brad Pit's character is so American he would have been found out by Hans Landa. He would have figured out that Lt. Aldo Raine did not speak Italian, and immediately would have changed his mind and never made that deal.
Linguistic genius is right. Understanding why we use language is the key to learning one. Babies understand : you want a cookie? Making these sounds in sequence will get you one.
its more of an deeper try of understanding how several cultures and people feel like for me. besides that it’s very very interesting to see it by studying that all humans aren’t that different how many many people th8nk sadly. god good there is a comment section 😅
This movie is one of my all-time favorites!! So funny at times and other times so terrifying!!! When it's on "the tube" I watch it every time!! I quote each and every line as it's said! No wonder nobody wants to watch it with me!!!!! 😅😅😅
É um dos maiores personagens da história do cinema. Lembro da sensação de ver o Waltz no cinema interpretando ele. Inigualável. Na verdade, não me recordamos de ter sentido nada parecido emna experiências cinematográfica que tive. Que interpretação fantástica.
last time i was in morocco and Lebanon people and local seller can speak perfect French Italian Spanish German...majority of people there speak Amazigh and all Arabic dialects they hade perfect accent
I recently read a biography about the English actor James Robertson Justice. In his war time service he worked alongside Ian Fleming of James Bond fame in intelligence. He could speak 20 languages to a decent level and was fluent in 10 of them. Can anyone imagine speaking 10 languages fluently.
That impressed me when I lived in Germany too. I had friends who spoke great English as well as several European languages. I also had a friend who spoke several European languages as well as African languages. They said is not hard after you learn 2 or 3, there are similarities and you learn much faster.
@@sunshineandwarmth Whenever I have gone abroad I have always tried to learn a few phrases of the language. It is easy to speak a few terms. But it is when they reply back and they talk fast that I get lost.
Your one language can't cover the area ours can. If you wanted to cover the distance from NYC to L.A., you'd have to know a few languages.😅 Also, English is probably as universal a language as we'll ever get, thanks to the achievements of the British Empire.❤
My grandmother had a real talent for languages. She was a prisoner in Auschwitz as a teenager and she would sit by the radio as often as she could. They would play news stories, prisoners could keep up to date on the war. The same stories on different stations that played different languages. And eventually she could speak basically every language in Europe and she learned more later on. She'd say "if you want to learn a language, just start thinking in that language" 😮🤔 It was amazing 😂

Amazing person and actor Christopher Waltz is. Tarantino could have written a show around Waltz’s character Landa and it would have been amazing. 🤩
He pretty much did
I think in Landa's case, it means he's inescapable. You have no where to hide, no way to conceal yourself against him. His sees all, hears all. Terrifying.
Beautifully said
Until Aldo totally blindsided him at the end lol.
@@samrogers5090😂😂😂 one of the best scenes in an over all amazing movie
@@samrogers5090he thought only Nazis didn't keep their words. Oh well, a nice way to find out I suppose.
Didnt see that last one...
The strudel scene. Wow.
Waltz such a great actor...
Me en cantaas😊
Christoph Waltz as Hans Landa was absolutely mesmerizing to behold. Masterclass.
I'm German I Speak :
- English
- French
- Russian
- And of course German 😎🇩🇪😎
Watching landa play with his food in this movie is what made the character such a robust villain 👏🏾 bravo
Wait for the creme’
Similar to how I feel about Tony Soprano. He takes a backseat to no one in the food- playing game.
Waltz is an amazing actor.
Tarantino has written so many great characters over the years. Calvin Candy and King Shultz from Django Unchained are two of my favorites.
Major Marquis and Chris Mannix as well.
@@TJ-fe7rr yes!! Those characters were fantastic as well. It’s hard to pick just a few from Tarantino’s films. There are too many to choose from.
Exceptional character; exceptional actor.
What an incredible actor
One of the greatest characters played by one of the greatest actors 😊
One of my all time favorite actors
Waltz is an amazing actor
Waltz’ acting was incredible and it is without doubt one of Tarantino’s greatest characters but the big surprise for me was how Pitt not only held his own in their scenes together but stole the show.
I"m so in love with these scene. This is my best film of Quentin Tarantino
The opening scene and the dialogue between the Frenchman and Landa is fantastic movie making. Writing, acting, camerawork, lighting, EVERYTHING works toward ratcheting up the tension of the scene.
Waltz is the most underrated actor on the planet. Quintin was about to give up on bastards because no one could fill that role. Waltz was a homer
To know languages is a symbol of not only intelligence, also curiosity.
100%, I learned English in school but German and Finnish with work and pure curiosity, not only to understand but to blend in with society, an awesome experience, plus my native language, Croatian, I even tried to learn Hindi but it became a big pain my head after that
Landa is the best character he has ever created
Waltz is one of the greatest actors ever.
Waltz is best actor aur own time.
It was perfect. Ive watched the movie over 66 times and you can see things you dont notice in the first watch
C. Waltz, great, super class! 🙋♀️🇲🇫
Walz are an amazing actor ✌️
I adore Christoph waltz and this character great film thank QT for another iconic movie
A well deserved Oscar - the farm house scene is amazing
The Austrian legend 🇦🇹🇦🇹🇦🇹
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Which one? 🙋♂️
You mean Scharzenneger or Uncle mustache?😊
@@martinhonan9588😂 Der war gut 😂
The opening scene, so much tension while keeping a straight jovial face. Both actors in the opening were amazing!
Such a great actor and human being, I just love him in the movies . He never makes me disappointed ❤❤❤
My father was fluent in seven languages. He worked with the OSS during WW II.
Is he still fluent? Has he met the most holy trinity’s birth mom? Is Yaweh’s mom a virgin? Do you believe in virgin births? I do. How do I know Yaweh’s Mom is not a virgin? What about Mary, Jesus’ Mom? Nope. How do you know?
@@NathanKnight-u7c Since he died in 1964, when I was eleven, I can honestly say I don't know and neither do you. "Judge not, lest ye be judged."

Waltz is an amazing actor
Waltz was amazing and coldly terrifying in this movie!
I could listen to him all day
Yes- incredible voice
😊❤bought the Blu-ray after seeing his shorts here on TH-cam. He convinced me to get one for my small collection. Great actor.
Hope you enjoy it!
django also. amazing actor
Waltz was perfect in all the langagues he spoke❤
Christoph Waltz MADE the Landa character, Tarantino just likes to take credit for it. How about he say something like “Waltz was the best actor I could have ever picked to bring this character to life”. Ego. Yeesh
He has said Exactly that!! Infact he said if he Hadn't met him he might have scrapped the making of the film!!😂
Tarantino said that. He said he won't make this movie if he won't find proper actor. Then Waltz came on casting. The rest is history.
Despite the fact that Christof made such good work, Jean Reno could have done the rol and could be an interesting option.
I suppose you believe Tyrion Lannister wasn't a great character until Peter Dinklage showed up. SMDH. You know nothing of how direction works on set.
Such a brilliant actor
Waltz is great, would love to see him in more of these stat studded films.
See him acting the character "Dorfmann", a guy who went to Brussels, which meant fighting against Burocracy of the EE.UU., I just don't recall the movies name, but it's worth it.
Between this movie and Django, Wow!
Christoph Waltz is an Amazing Actor and Human Being. ❤
Waltz = acting perfection!
Waltz is SOOO good! 👍
Great actor 👏
Waltz outclassed Brad Pitt in this movie 😊
Ervry time Col. Landa showed up he made everybody else disappear. What a great personality. Mr. Waltz is a fantastic performer, suave, educated and full of Old World charm.
He is one of my favorite actors.
*what a WONDERFUL actor*
Master of acting art = Christof Waltz❤❤❤
Proud to be sharing my birthday with this amazing actor!
😅
One of my favourite actors
Great actor
few people that speak several languages.
Many, manyyyyy people speak at least two. That is totally normal. Even three languages is not rare.
One language is rare(but maybe normal in the US?).
Yes, sir. Very deep character. Even as here in this seen, Gorlami's cover is blown and still Landa fights on till the bitter end....
One of the best actors ever!!
One of the greatest characters of all time. He was landa . No one could recreate this movie and be landa again. It was impeccable.
Subtle Fur Elise in the background adds nice dimension to the video
What an actor 👍👍👍
Gran pelicula.. todos los actores que participan en la cinta hacen un buen papel, todos se merecen mis aplausos..
Great actor!
Christopher is superb in everything he does but he excelled himself in this part and he really was scary lol
One of the best movies.
You're so talented Tarantino so talented i wish i had ur imagination
amazing actor ❤waltZ , awesome
The accents are so huge in this movie.
Christof should have won a few Oscars by now. Brilliant and talented actor
Waltz is a genius.. correcto! 🤝
Im sorry, but the credit goes to Watz, not Tarantino.
and the poor guys shadow writing for tarantino. plus translators
Brad Pit's character is so American he would have been found out by Hans Landa. He would have figured out that Lt. Aldo Raine did not speak Italian, and immediately would have changed his mind and never made that deal.
He knew the whole time
Dominick DeCocco
DeCocco!!!😂
Well in europe its not rare to speak several languages, especially in the 20th century upper class
Great Actor I waited for each of his scenes 🎉🎉😅😅especially the way he was eating the strudel😅😅
Amazing actor in every movie I know why he got used is as many tarantino movies as possible Django was amazing
The World best actor! 👍🏼
He's an inglorious bustard....plus multi lingual....lol.... class. Xx
Linguistic genius is right. Understanding why we use language is the key to learning one. Babies understand : you want a cookie? Making these sounds in sequence will get you one.
Tarantino is spectacular, a prodigy, a once-in-a-lifetime talent! (Well, Kubrick counts, and Norm McLaren from NFBC, but QT is in a class of his own!)
its more of an deeper try of understanding how several cultures and people feel like for me. besides that it’s very very interesting to see it by studying that all humans aren’t that different how many many people th8nk sadly. god good there is a comment section 😅
This movie is one of my all-time favorites!! So funny at times and other times so terrifying!!!
When it's on "the tube" I watch it every time!! I quote each and every line as it's said!
No wonder nobody wants to watch it with me!!!!! 😅😅😅
Genius
Had no idea. Terrific actor...and linguist
One of the greatest performances ever, Hans down
Only reason I watch the movie, the military aspect had so many errors it’s quite painful to watch, but hey who’s perfect 😢
Terantinommade him one my favorite actors ever
This man is correcto
É um dos maiores personagens da história do cinema. Lembro da sensação de ver o Waltz no cinema interpretando ele. Inigualável. Na verdade, não me recordamos de ter sentido nada parecido emna experiências cinematográfica que tive. Que interpretação fantástica.
The only actor that made me feel this guy is evil. And still think this actor is amazing at the same time. Best actor of this generation

Yes.
Colonel Landa is one of top villains ever.
Landa might have been his greatest character, but only because Waltz nailed it
Waltz: "There are such people who speak several languages..."
Pitt: "GORLAMI"
Americans do not know languages. As a Dane, I speak 8 languages
Your one language can't cover the area ours can. If you wanted to cover the distance from NYC to L.A., you'd have to know a few languages.😅

Amazing actor for that part! Au Revior Shoshanna haha
I speak 4 languages.
Each one gives me acces to HEARTS of foreign people.
Not a generic translation by the MEDIA.
CÑE TU M*DREEEEEE❤
Although an incredible villain it’s still his arrogance that gets him in the end. Granted he doesn’t die but he endures a horrific experience
