Interesting how Christoph Waltz won 2 Oscars for Tarantino movies for completely opposite characters (he is one of a small group of actors and actresses to win twice for the same director’s films, alongside Dianne Wiest (twice for Woody Allen films), Jack Nicholson (twice for James L Brooks) among others). Great range!
The thing is - Dr. Schulz and Hans Landa are NOT opposite characters. In fact, they’re pretty much the same person cast into two different eras. For all we know Landa might be a descendant of Schulz who remained or returned to Germany. They are both charming, intelligent men who have a fatal flaw of toying with their prey and ultimately causing their own downfall. They both have an obsessive need to be the smartest men in the room. Both men are sadistic. The reason we like Schultz more is because he feels he is above slavery, and Landa is a literal Nazi. But they both take pride in being killers of men.
@@Redfield982 The two movies are not even remotely connected, why are you talking about descendents? Also, their character similarities are irrelevant. The pure juxtaposition is what matters. One is rooted for by the viewer, the other is rooted against. That's the obvious contrast op was referring to.
@Redfield982 Great point. Both characters made their living by hunting and killing enemies of the state. I don’t believe Landa was even anti-semitic. He just does or says whatever it takes to further his own advantage.
Here is a cool factoid: Leo DiCaprio was almost cast as Hans Landa (he is half-German himself, and his mom was born in Germany at the tail end of World War II) but Tarantino changed his mind as he developed the character. I wouldn't be surprised if his Calvin Candie role in DJANGO UNCHAINED was in part to compensate for this.
@alpacatwoniner2370 🥸Another lie was the situation about German officer Eric Pribke in Italy...they said that the Germans were trying trying to kill innocent Italian civilization an revenge for an attack on Germans🤓 The Germans were only killed convicted Italian prisoners as revenge....this helps to show that you can't trust the lying Israel controlled media
When Landa heard that mountain climbing story, his laughter pretty much said, “This is the best story they could come up with?!” He was like an evil version of Columbo, a famous TV detective
One of the last memories I have of my grandfather was showing him this movie. He was a WW2 vet, and being Jewish, was loving that ending. I remember him smiling while the Basterds turned Hitler into swiss cheese.
🤓Everything that we have been told about WW2 by the Jews is WRONG (thanks jews🤮), and the world is figuring this out on other platforms that tell the TRUTH😎🥸🙂
Hell yes!!! It's what made me buy a Blu-ray player because the second I saw that, I needed to rewatch it in as high a definition as possible. It was my first Blu-ray purchase!
Love this movie, there are some fun-facts about it, in the beginning of the movie when Landa is meeting the entire family he does something sneaky, when he is shaking their hands of the daughters , but if you look closer at his hands what he is really doing is checking their pulse to see who be nervous, this little details are awsome. Since puff pastries (what strudels are) during WWII were made with pig lard (not Kosher) due to wartime butter shortage, Landa's choice of dish for Shosanna could be seen either as a test to see if she's Jewish (as she'd normally reject the food) or he knows who she is and is forcing her into eating non-kosher. The scene where Landa speaks Italian flawlessly and Aldo’s Tennessee accent radiates “Not Italian At All” energy is not how it was scripted. He was written to be extremely fluent and competent at it, but Brad Pitt convinced Tarantino to let him try it that way. In the end, Tarantino agreed that he shouldn’t blend in because, as he put it, “the plan they cobble together is fucking dumb.” It only succeeds because Landa wants it to succeed, it should not work… and the accent just rams home just how dumb the plan is. The character of Hans Landa was a stumbling block for him to get the movie made in the first place. He thought he’d written a character that no actor could play. He has to speak, in order, French, English, German, and Italian fluently, be charming and terrifying at the same time, and appear to be a brilliant detective, a nazi version of Sherlock Holmes (that’s why he has the large pipe in the first scene, it’s a reference to Holmes’ pipe). Thank goodness for Christoph Waltz who steals every scene he’s in.
The character needed to speak French, English, and German, I don't think Italian was a requirement, but Waltz was such a perfect fit and even knew Italian as a bonus, which let them do the Italian scene. I am sure if he didn't know Italian, he could probably be taught what he needed fairly quickly or they could probably change that scene slightly to make Italian not necessary.
Shoshana's death is soooo tragically poetic....the one moment in entire movie she shows weakness, the one single moment, costs her everything (yes I know she was gonna die anyway).

I heard that Tarantino had a lot of difficulty in casting Landa because of the need for the actor to be able to speak in all those languages, so him being fluent in three of the languages (and being good enough to fake fluency in Italian) was a real godsend for him and arguably saved the film (and it turns out that's not the full extent of his lingual abilities, since he apparently knows some Hebrew too)
"wait for the cream" may also be significant because its likely that during that tiem the cream was made from pork fat or at least not kosher so it was also kinda of a "test" to see if she would break, just like the glass of milk.
That the first scene was filmed over a week just makes me admire the two actors even more. They wouldn't have filmed it chronologically, there would have to be cuts and reshoots and different angles and everything. As amazing as the slow transition of friendliness to serious and terror is on screen, knowing they had to be able to jump back and forth between the two constantly for the shoot is incredible.
The wait for the creme line has another meaning on top of calling out that he knows who she is: "Landa asks for Shosanna to wait for the Cream to test if she is Jewish. As pastries were made with animal lard (fat) in ww2, the strudel would have been made with (most likely pork) fat. Jews can't drink milk (or cream) and eat meat as it is not kosher."
@@TacShooter Exactly, it is actually a much graver sin to forsake your own life OR to allow somebody else's life to be taken just to observe the Kashrut, for life is the greatest gift from God, and one must always attempt to preserve it.
Mike Myers asked Tarantino if he could play a British General at headquarters as he used to watch World War II movies with his dad and loved there was always a general who told what the plan was in an intelligence briefing that also doubled as exposition for the audience.
I think part of what makes that first scene so good is that Landa is well defined in that scene. He's only there because he's already done his investigation. He knows that French farmer is the one hiding them and he knows where the farmer is hiding them. Part of Landa's style is to force the other person to say or do things they don't want. He wants to psychologically break them. That's why he forced the farmer to admit he's hiding them and even point them out. We later see him investigating the shootout in the basement. He then meets the actress and asks her how she hurt her leg. He already knows, just like with the farmer. Later he forces the actress to put her foot on his lap and hand him t he shoe. That first scene sets the stage for all that.
The first scene is also a masterful implementation of what Hitchcock said about suspense. Two men talking at a table. Then you show the audience that there is a time bomb under the table that will detonate in five minutes. That’s suspense.
So much of the cast in this movie gave wonderful performances, but Christoph Waltz far and away stole the show for me. He is just captivating in every single scene he's in, and his demeanor in this is so chillingly "friendly" while being utterly sinister at the same time that it's remarkable. Great reaction Natalie! Thanks for the content!
one of my favourite details in this movie is super easy to miss if you don't speak French. In the first scene right before the Dreyfuss family is killed, Landa says "adieu" which is used mostly when you don't expect to see someone again. As Shosanna is fleeing he says "au revoir" which is more like saying see you soon. Gave me the chills first time I watched this movie And yeah Landa definitely switched from French to English in that scene because he knew the Dreyfuss family was probably listening. He made the excuse that his French was limited but it very obviously was not. He sounds completely fluent to me. Even his accent sounded pretty good (though I may not be the best judge there, I speak Canadian French and the European accents aren't the easiest for me to identify, but the German accent certainly doesn't sound thick to me when he speaks French)
I didn't realize I'd seen Daniel Brühl in anything other than "Avengers:Civil War" until I re-watched this movie with you, Natalie. He's a very good actor.
My brother-in-law was an extra in the scene when the cinema burned down, you can see him climbing over the seats for a split second. He also sat in a scene right behind Mussolini. He was so happy to be visible in a close-up. "Mussolini isn't in the movie!" you say? Right, that scene was regrettably cut from the movie. Something similar happened to my brother-in-law in Monument Men and Operation Valkyrie. XD
Oh my, how good this movie feels to me. It's such a joyful, wholesome film. I feel like a great darkness was cleansed from my soul. It made my teeth whiter!
I just watched this movie two days ago. When I looked up what Natalie was watching, it was like seeing it all over again, except she give the best narration. Love your channel.
The opening scene to this film is such a masterclass, the acting, the tension, the camera work, the silence turning to dramatic score, all just amazing
The opening sequence, I think, easily outshines every single other piece ever created by Tarantino by a long mile. It's a masterclass in acting, setup, and composition all.
I think this is Tarantino's most complete film in that it's peak style without being a parody of his own work, while also having fingerprints from his older films all over it in a way that isn't distracting or overbearing. Likewise, everything after Basterds in his catalog is heavily marked by the film in tone, technique, storytelling, and just outright self-indulgence.
The first scene is designed to increase the audience's tension to the maximum. The milk, the book, the pipe are all devices to prolong the scene as much as possible and make the audience impatient. Then the shots. Definitely in my TOP 3 of Tarantino.
Fun fact, the scene in the dinner where Landa forces Shoshana to eat the strudel is actually a lot deeper than it looks. In 1944, when they explicitly stated this scene took place, Paris was under a strict butter ration because of the war. To compensate for this pastries like the strudial were made with PORK lard instead as a substitute. Essentially, Landa was not only confirming that he knew exactly who Shoshana was in this scene but he was also forcing her, a practicing jew, to eat pork with the man who murdered her family. Forcing her to have milk with it was just another twist of the knife as it directly referenced what happened to her family.
The most decorated American soldier of WW2 was a man named Audie Murphy. After the war he wrote a book about his life called "To Hell and Back" and it was made into a movie of the same name. He starred in it as himself. He also starred in a few other movies, mostly westerns.
Fun fact film reels burn way faster than paper so theres basically no way they could get out before the fire was too strong, thats why its really important how old film is stored because one little bit catches fire and its like a fireworks warehouse going up.
Yes. In the making of the movie "Elmer Gantry" They needed the barn to go up in a flash fire. To make that happen they took old movie stock film and placed it along all the beams and supports of the barn. It went up so fast that the fire marshal who was on set to make sure nothing went wrong said that, Yep thats what a flash fire is like.
Samm Levine is another Basterd that lived. You see him last when he's looking out the window while everyone is discussing the advantages of fighting in a basement
Jonna Mendez (CIA disguise) reviewed the tavern scene and said it was very real in how it’s truly just the little cultural things that give people away a lot of times
There's a term for that, 'shibboleth'. It comes from a story in the Old Testament where - and I'm paraphrasing here - a general tells his guards, "We say the word 'shibboleth' while they say it like 'sibboleth' so if you're not sure if it's one of ours at the gates ask them to say it and you'll know which they are."
I remember watching for the first time with my family and the drink scene came on to be the only one to realize the mistake the guy made when ordering. I kept saying “oh no” and everyone else was confused. I don’t remember where I learned the numbers but I’m happy regardless since it made the scene way more intense!
My Grandpa used to take me to the movies as a kid. I’d always choose the movie. We hadn’t gone to the theatre in a long time but when this came out he asked me if I wanted to check it out. Last time we went to the theatre, he sure upstaged any of my picks with this film
The intro scene with Waltz as an almost evil-Columbo character is among the best scenes I've ever seen...and it's not even the best scene in the movie. The tavern scene is pure, perfect slow build tension. For what it's worth, the Englishman did very well, all things considered. He was not actually a trained spy. He was recruited to be a spy based on his ability to speak German, but moreso his cinematic knowledge (given the specifics of the assassination opportunity). He was selected purely to be able to convince, if questioned, he knows a famous actress. When the drunk dad called out his accent, it caused the SS detective to notice it as well, and, then begin interrogating him. But his knowledge of German film, combined with being with an actress right before a premiere, lended juuuust enough credibility to give him a pass. But the officer still harbors doubts, and his playing the game was purely to continue a tense exchange to see if any of them would break, or slip up. While the Brit keeps his composure, he does, sadly, slip up do to not knowing a tiny, but, noticeable little cultural difference.
If the Englishmen learned German he clearly didn't learn it from a German or he would have the known the German three. Also the Gestapo officers gun was not a Walther, it was a Luger.
One of the masterminds behind the Holocaust Reinhard Heydrich drove to work in Prague everyday with no escort or protection. He only had his driver with him. It even was an open top car. So you are right about them being arrogant. Heydrich was at the height of his power and he felt untouchable. On the other hand Adolf Hitler's Eastern Front headquarters the Wolf Lair was extremely well protected with many circles of protection and checkpoints.
Agree that Inglorious Basterds is also the best Tarnatino Film for me! It's so incredibly quotable and rewatchable and it's still fun even after the 100th time. Just marvelous acting, storytelling and editing. Tarantino really brings all his strengths to the max here. It even works well in german dub believe it or not. the only funny thing is the "german three", can't really say we have a prefered way to gesture the number three it varies from person to person but maybe it was different in the 40s
It's never mentioned in the movie, but you'll notice the bat that the Bear Jew uses to beat the Nazi's with is covered in writing. Apparently Tarantino told the actor that Donny Donowitz's bat is filled with signatures from his fellow Jewish people. When Donny got word he was to deploy in Europe, he bought the heaviest bat he could, and went around his neighbour in Boston, getting all the Jewish-American's he could find to sign their names on it... and continued to collect Jewish signatures once in Europe, including Anne Frank's, at least according to Tarantino.
funny how somehow, if on "the right side" a psychopath is suddenly seen as some sort of Idol, even tho the Movie heavily emphasizes that he is really a psychopath.
I was just mentioning some interesting lore for the character bud. Never said a thing about Idols or "the right side". Go babble your nonsense on a comment that it actually makes sense for.
I love that Tarantino made Michael Fassbender's accent a bit of a giveaway. I'm American. I'm not a native speaker, but my German is passable enough that Fassbender's accent still sticks out like a sore thumb, as he's the only one I can completely understand.
I am not sure it is the accent that allows you to understand him, I think it is his slow and deliberate way of speaking (as somebody would do if they want to be sure to not make any mistakes). BTW, his way of speaking alone would not give him away, it is unusual, but he does have an accent that doesn’t exist the Central European German speaking area.
One of my favorite movies. Got to see it in theaters, and i loved every aspect of the film and how it was made. It feels like if movies had intelligence, this would qualify. Especially in modern films.
I like Fassbender’s opening scene because it plays up “THIS IS A MOVIE” to a ridiculous degree: he’s in a room which looks a bit like a theater, Mike Myers is playing his English commanding officer, instead of an actual Englishman, and Rod Taylor as Churchill, is Australian and doesn’t really look like him, nor do much, almost like he’s the intended audience of this scene.
nah, this movie is definitely a contender for best QT film; there's more to a movie than technical accomplishment and inglorious basterds is both expertly made, fantastically paced, and SUPER fun
She’s nice I’m sure and obviously good popular reactor. But little things like that I love when she is made to look so dumb just cause she so freely calls every other movie campy or bad acting etc that people work so hard on and she just comes off so arrogant. When she catches her mistakes she points them out with funny editing usually helps make me like her more but it’s just so annoying when she’s uppity. But still like her overall
This film was quite a treat to watch in theaters. Cris Waltz is amazing in this one but I'm always focused on Eli Roth during this one. Such an amazing film.
NO WAY, i was just talking about how amazing this movie is with my buddy, especially the actors. the guy who plays the main german is spectacular he absolutely kills his role. As i wrote this she said his name Christoph Waltz, thank you cause i forgot.
The scene at the restaurant was genus. The fact that he made the Jewish girl eat cream just shows that he’s a cat that plays with his pray before he kills them.
Natalie is so charming that when I watch her reaction videos, I find myself focusing more on her smiling face than the actual content. I think we're around the same age too. 😁😄
There is a recent movie and true story like this movie. It was operation postcard and details only released in 2016. The movie was named “ the ministry of ungentlemanly warfare.”
I love how Tarantino is the first person we see the Basterds scalp, and how he somehow managed to get Sam L. Jackson in the movie, Sam reads the backstory of Hugo Stiglitz and the infodump about nitrate film. I'm pretty sure if Sam was young enough he would have been cast as Marcel, as it is this was the best Tarantino could do.
If you haven't noticed the pattern with Tarantino films, his stories are basically just revenge fantasies lol a lot of his films include a scene where somebody gets waxed out for doing some ugly stuff, and I'm totally here for it 👌 I love your reactions, always makes my day or night 😁
15:48 When Hicox says, "Drei Gläser" (three glasses), he holds his index, middle and ring finger up. Hicox accidentally gave himself away by ordering "three glasses" with the "wrong" fingers. A German would order "three" with the index, middle finger and the thumb extended. Such cool attention to detail! :) EDIT: I just came to the part in the video where she explains it so you already knows this, haha! 😅

I didn't realize I'd seen Daniel Brühl in anything other than "Avengers:Civil War" until I re-watched this movie with you, Natalie. He's a very good actor.
My brother-in-law was an extra in the scene when the cinema burned down, you can see him climbing over the seats for a split second. He also sat in a scene right behind Mussolini. He was so happy to be visible in a close-up. "Mussolini isn't in the movie!" you say? Right, that scene was regrettably cut from the movie. Something similar happened to my brother-in-law in Monument Men and Operation Valkyrie. XD
@@solokom Does he know that he was in a movie about LIES 🤥
Oh my, how good this movie feels to me. It's such a joyful, wholesome film. I feel like a great darkness was cleansed from my soul. It made my teeth whiter!
Every time you address your editor I choose to believe you're talking to your camera, and it's hilarious.
Cameron, the camera.

I just watched this movie two days ago. When I looked up what Natalie was watching, it was like seeing it all over again, except she give the best narration. Love your channel.
The opening scene to this film is such a masterclass, the acting, the tension, the camera work, the silence turning to dramatic score, all just amazing
Christoph Waltz's character in this was simply amazing.
Inglorious Basterds is the best revenge fantasy film ever.
The opening sequence, I think, easily outshines every single other piece ever created by Tarantino by a long mile. It's a masterclass in acting, setup, and composition all.
One of if not my favorite Tarantino movie. Can't believe it's not on this channel yet, can't wait to check this out
I think this is Tarantino's most complete film in that it's peak style without being a parody of his own work, while also having fingerprints from his older films all over it in a way that isn't distracting or overbearing. Likewise, everything after Basterds in his catalog is heavily marked by the film in tone, technique, storytelling, and just outright self-indulgence.
I've never fear a man like I did Hans Lunda in just the first silent scene just like Christoph managed to played him
The fact Christoph Waltz goes from this evil B to my absolute favourite Tarentiono Charactoer in Django shows his massive range
Christoph Waltz is such an amazing actor!!
@@Tofushoots Walz is good at reading LIES 🤥 🤮
@@giffysstiffy887 That's called "acting"
@@theprimo100 Everyone is great at acting then🤣🤣
This movie is amazing. And so is Natalie. She is by far the best movie reactor, giving information and an honest opinion.
She's not afraid to call a cheesy or silly movie cheesy or silly (which sometimes triggers uber fans).
The first scene is designed to increase the audience's tension to the maximum.
The milk, the book, the pipe are all devices to prolong the scene as much as possible and make the audience impatient.
Then the shots.
Definitely in my TOP 3 of Tarantino.
Fun fact, the scene in the dinner where Landa forces Shoshana to eat the strudel is actually a lot deeper than it looks. In 1944, when they explicitly stated this scene took place, Paris was under a strict butter ration because of the war. To compensate for this pastries like the strudial were made with PORK lard instead as a substitute. Essentially, Landa was not only confirming that he knew exactly who Shoshana was in this scene but he was also forcing her, a practicing jew, to eat pork with the man who murdered her family. Forcing her to have milk with it was just another twist of the knife as it directly referenced what happened to her family.
37 people have already said this lil bro....🤡 You're no longer smart or meaningful at all. Slither away now 🫵😂
The most decorated American soldier of WW2 was a man named Audie Murphy. After the war he wrote a book about his life called "To Hell and Back" and it was made into a movie of the same name. He starred in it as himself. He also starred in a few other movies, mostly westerns.
This is such a righteous justice, cathartic movie ❤
@@MrDevintcoleman 🥸😎This dumb film is full of lies 🤥 And you are too dim witted to get that
Adam Sandler was supposed to be ‘The Bear Jew’ but a scheduling conflict prevented it. Just imagine what could have been.
Instead we have to sit through the hackey, hammy performance of that shitstain Eli Roth.
Get in the flask!
That ai deep fake is as close as we are going to ever get
THE PRICE IS WRONG BITCH 😂😅🤣
There's a deep fake video of it
My brothers and I always quote "I'd make that deal. How 'bout you Utivich, you make that deal?" whenever someone gets a good deal on something.
Fun fact film reels burn way faster than paper so theres basically no way they could get out before the fire was too strong, thats why its really important how old film is stored because one little bit catches fire and its like a fireworks warehouse going up.
Everything we were told about this war are lies🤓🤮🤡 The "chosen" people LIED about this war🤡🤮
The film base is nitrocellulose, also known as guncotton.
Nothing fun about that.
Yes. In the making of the movie "Elmer Gantry" They needed the barn to go up in a flash fire. To make that happen they took old movie stock film and placed it along all the beams and supports of the barn. It went up so fast that the fire marshal who was on set to make sure nothing went wrong said that, Yep thats what a flash fire is like.
That film stock will keep burning even if you completely submerge it in water. Scary stuff.
Samm Levine is another Basterd that lived. You see him last when he's looking out the window while everyone is discussing the advantages of fighting in a basement
Jonna Mendez (CIA disguise) reviewed the tavern scene and said it was very real in how it’s truly just the little cultural things that give people away a lot of times
There's a term for that, 'shibboleth'. It comes from a story in the Old Testament where - and I'm paraphrasing here - a general tells his guards, "We say the word 'shibboleth' while they say it like 'sibboleth' so if you're not sure if it's one of ours at the gates ask them to say it and you'll know which they are."
Though as a German, I have to say that Micheal Fassbender’s accent was already enough to out him as not being German.
This one, Django Unchained, and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood are my favorite Tarentino movies, but they are all good.
I remember watching for the first time with my family and the drink scene came on to be the only one to realize the mistake the guy made when ordering. I kept saying “oh no” and everyone else was confused. I don’t remember where I learned the numbers but I’m happy regardless since it made the scene way more intense!
I'm not going to lie, I love many of the Tarantino films, but this one might just be his masterpiece.
My Grandpa used to take me to the movies as a kid. I’d always choose the movie. We hadn’t gone to the theatre in a long time but when this came out he asked me if I wanted to check it out. Last time we went to the theatre, he sure upstaged any of my picks with this film
The intro scene with Waltz as an almost evil-Columbo character is among the best scenes I've ever seen...and it's not even the best scene in the movie. The tavern scene is pure, perfect slow build tension.
For what it's worth, the Englishman did very well, all things considered. He was not actually a trained spy. He was recruited to be a spy based on his ability to speak German, but moreso his cinematic knowledge (given the specifics of the assassination opportunity). He was selected purely to be able to convince, if questioned, he knows a famous actress. When the drunk dad called out his accent, it caused the SS detective to notice it as well, and, then begin interrogating him. But his knowledge of German film, combined with being with an actress right before a premiere, lended juuuust enough credibility to give him a pass. But the officer still harbors doubts, and his playing the game was purely to continue a tense exchange to see if any of them would break, or slip up. While the Brit keeps his composure, he does, sadly, slip up do to not knowing a tiny, but, noticeable little cultural difference.
SS detective? Please, he was a Gestapo officer.
If the Englishmen learned German he clearly didn't learn it from a German or he would have the known the German three. Also the Gestapo officers gun was not a Walther, it was a Luger.
One of the masterminds behind the Holocaust Reinhard Heydrich drove to work in Prague everyday with no escort or protection. He only had his driver with him. It even was an open top car. So you are right about them being arrogant. Heydrich was at the height of his power and he felt untouchable. On the other hand Adolf Hitler's Eastern Front headquarters the Wolf Lair was extremely well protected with many circles of protection and checkpoints.
But the west hates when people assassinate political figures, no?
The lax laissez-faire approach to security really worked out well for Heydrich in the end didn't it?
@christianwise637 it really did work out. For Ernst Kaltenbrunner 😅
Wha are the odds your latest two upload feature my all time favorite and my all time least favorite movies back to back. Incredible range!!
I love Tyler coming in for the intro!
Cameron and Tyler tag teamed that just for the video. 😂
Tyler comin in with the "Attendez la crème..." made me actually lol
Christoph Waltz went to a prestigious Austrian Jesuit school in Vienna as a teen. He's *definitely* multi-lingual.
10 minutes into the movie, and everyone knew the BSA Oscar race was over. I'm still blown away every time I see it
Christoph Waltz was actually nervous to take this role, because two of his children are Jewish and religious.
Hands down one of the greatest openings of all time 🔥
Shoshanna's ghost in the smoke filled theater was the cherry on top! Laughing as the carnage filled the night. Such an epic moment.
Agree that Inglorious Basterds is also the best Tarnatino Film for me! It's so incredibly quotable and rewatchable and it's still fun even after the 100th time. Just marvelous acting, storytelling and editing. Tarantino really brings all his strengths to the max here. It even works well in german dub believe it or not. the only funny thing is the "german three", can't really say we have a prefered way to gesture the number three it varies from person to person but maybe it was different in the 40s
It's never mentioned in the movie, but you'll notice the bat that the Bear Jew uses to beat the Nazi's with is covered in writing. Apparently Tarantino told the actor that Donny Donowitz's bat is filled with signatures from his fellow Jewish people. When Donny got word he was to deploy in Europe, he bought the heaviest bat he could, and went around his neighbour in Boston, getting all the Jewish-American's he could find to sign their names on it... and continued to collect Jewish signatures once in Europe, including Anne Frank's, at least according to Tarantino.
funny how somehow, if on "the right side" a psychopath is suddenly seen as some sort of Idol, even tho the Movie heavily emphasizes that he is really a psychopath.
I was just mentioning some interesting lore for the character bud. Never said a thing about Idols or "the right side". Go babble your nonsense on a comment that it actually makes sense for.

Natalie being almost upset about "more milk" as she was about the killing the family is hilarious!😂
I love that Tarantino made Michael Fassbender's accent a bit of a giveaway. I'm American. I'm not a native speaker, but my German is passable enough that Fassbender's accent still sticks out like a sore thumb, as he's the only one I can completely understand.
I am not sure it is the accent that allows you to understand him, I think it is his slow and deliberate way of speaking (as somebody would do if they want to be sure to not make any mistakes). BTW, his way of speaking alone would not give him away, it is unusual, but he does have an accent that doesn’t exist the Central European German speaking area.
I recently watched Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and it too is another great Tarantino alternate history take
The Rats Monologue by Waltz is probably the best monoloue in movie history.
THE EDITS IN THIS ARE EVERYTHING. thank you. I needed this after the week i've had.
I LOVE Christoph Waltz, he's an incredible actor and I love the way he played Landa!
One of my favorite movies. Got to see it in theaters, and i loved every aspect of the film and how it was made. It feels like if movies had intelligence, this would qualify. Especially in modern films.
An underrated film that I think you would like is Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil
@@warrenelkins1861 Thos film is dumb and evil 😈 This film is pure lies 🤥
27:44 the way she spelled au revoir wrong is killing me I love Natalie 😂😭😭😭
YES! Been waiting for you to watch this!
Tarantino pairs well with historical fiction, not to mention a revenge narrative that will age like fine wine.
I like Fassbender’s opening scene because it plays up “THIS IS A MOVIE” to a ridiculous degree: he’s in a room which looks a bit like a theater, Mike Myers is playing his English commanding officer, instead of an actual Englishman, and Rod Taylor as Churchill, is Australian and doesn’t really look like him, nor do much, almost like he’s the intended audience of this scene.
"We're American, what are you?"
"I'm fightin' IN A FUCKIN' BASEMENT, that's what I am!!!"
Beautiful reaction Nat, it was a joy watching you injoy this movie. Love ya to the moon and back. ❤
nah, this movie is definitely a contender for best QT film; there's more to a movie than technical accomplishment and inglorious basterds is both expertly made, fantastically paced, and SUPER fun
Soldier " So I'm on the tower alone, just me, my rifle, and a thousand round of ammunition "
Natalie: "How much ammo did you have?" 🧡 ya, young lady.
She’s nice I’m sure and obviously good popular reactor. But little things like that I love when she is made to look so dumb just cause she so freely calls every other movie campy or bad acting etc that people work so hard on and she just comes off so arrogant. When she catches her mistakes she points them out with funny editing usually helps make me like her more but it’s just so annoying when she’s uppity. But still like her overall
The fact QT made super hero movies for black and Jews , from the most painful times for their people is crazy
You’re gonna LOVE Django Unchained and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood!!
damn hippies.
This film was quite a treat to watch in theaters. Cris Waltz is amazing in this one but I'm always focused on Eli Roth during this one. Such an amazing film.
NO WAY, i was just talking about how amazing this movie is with my buddy, especially the actors. the guy who plays the main german is spectacular he absolutely kills his role. As i wrote this she said his name Christoph Waltz, thank you cause i forgot.
I was way too excited to see this pop up on my feed! Nat has been killing it with these choices.
When she asked “do you have a gun back there Eric?” I thought she meant Magneto 😂
Omg, so did I.
Switching between languages was done so Shoshana and her family couldn't understand what was being said. So many great little details in this movie.
I’ve always felt a lot for Marcel because IMO he was willing to go along with the plan and die for his love for Shoshana
Christoph Waltz always be hunting people, Django, Inglorious basterds, Alita.
Nice catch.
Spectre
The "three glasses" moment is iconic
The scene at the restaurant was genus. The fact that he made the Jewish girl eat cream just shows that he’s a cat that plays with his pray before he kills them.
Natalie is so charming that when I watch her reaction videos, I find myself focusing more on her smiling face than the actual content. I think we're around the same age too. 😁😄
There is a recent movie and true story like this movie. It was operation postcard and details only released in 2016. The movie was named “ the ministry of ungentlemanly warfare.”
This movie is so freaking good
Yep, Inglorious Basterds, Tarantinos best film. Love it.
... you have very strong intuition and have foresite in human behavior. I truthfully enjoy your unique sense of humor ...
The strudel scene is wild when you remember that - given wartime shortages in France - the cream was likely made from pork fat...
I feel like I’ve waited my entire life for this movie reaction from Natalie
Tyler’s a legend for that ! 😂😂😂😂😂
I love how Tarantino is the first person we see the Basterds scalp, and how he somehow managed to get Sam L. Jackson in the movie, Sam reads the backstory of Hugo Stiglitz and the infodump about nitrate film. I'm pretty sure if Sam was young enough he would have been cast as Marcel, as it is this was the best Tarantino could do.
If you haven't noticed the pattern with Tarantino films, his stories are basically just revenge fantasies lol a lot of his films include a scene where somebody gets waxed out for doing some ugly stuff, and I'm totally here for it 👌 I love your reactions, always makes my day or night 😁
OHHH I just watched this last week!! Thank you for the reaction :)
15:48 When Hicox says, "Drei Gläser" (three glasses), he holds his index, middle and ring finger up. Hicox accidentally gave himself away by ordering "three glasses" with the "wrong" fingers. A German would order "three" with the index, middle finger and the thumb extended. Such cool attention to detail! :) EDIT: I just came to the part in the video where she explains it so you already knows this, haha! 😅
She already watched this movie in the past. Natalie isn't very intelligent though so hearing it explained multiple times is just what is needed
This is definitely one of the best movies reacted to on the channel.
