Sir Christopher Lee could have pulled it off but was too old at the time. Vigo Mortersen comes to mind. The fake Italian accent is still based on Chico Marx who was funny without being offensive.
@@aledjango Your comment was pretty inaccurate, you have to admit. Even I speak more languages fluently plus sounding like a native than he does (and I've had the lead in a theater production).
Brad Pitt's bad Italian accent wasn't supposed to be like that, it was supposed to be decent and passable. But he did that at the table read for a laugh and Tarantino couldn't get it out of his head.
@@maximillianosabeni didn't know i had too. Its all a matter of opinion isnt it ? Tell you what you waste time your disproving it and then I'll definitely get back to you
Of course noting that he won an Academy award for best supporting actor, along with Tarantinos Django Unchained as well. ( just for the people who did not know)
Only Tarantino could incorporate a 1982 David Bowie song into a WWII action epic, and have it work perfectly. "Oui, Shoshana." That sends chills through me, every time. And the scene with Shoshana's laughing face projected on the billowing smoke...haunting!
"Well if this is it old boy... I hope you don't mind if I go out speaking the King's." Is one of the best lines ever written, reinforced by Fassbender's brilliant acting.
The basement bar scene is one of the best in cinema. There are multiple analyses of how meticulously thematically well constructed it is. And it’s epically rewatchable.
Even if it was, would it tell him much though? If you had ppl like that with weapons visit you your pulse would be up too even if you weren’t hiding anyone
The opening scene is one of Tarantino’s best and one of the best examples of Alfred Hitchcocks suspense scenario in action which of course Tarantino utilises over and over but it never gets tired
Yes, great tension in that and the scene in the bar up to the British spy slipping up. Definitely reminds me of Hitchcock. It's a pity the film did not at the very last act live up to the great tension-building that Tarantino does throughout most of it. Minus maybe the last 10 minutes, Tarantino almost created a masterpiece.
Everyone (including me) laughs at seeing Landa’s pipe in the opening sequence. It was only later I realized what it is. He’s smoking a pipe similar to a famous detective, Sherlock Holmes, to hint to the audience that he knows everything and is always a step ahead of everyone… right up until the end when he doesn’t see his eventual fate coming. Such a brilliant performance by Christoph Walz.
Agreed. It's a meme to say that Pulp Fiction is his best, but he is clearly much more skilled and experienced in this one. As impressive as his early work is, his mid-career films make the early stuff look a bit sophomore.
In the opening, before switching back to French, Hans Landa says 'masquerade' which alerts Shoshanna to his ruse and allows her to escape. Later, it is Landa who plays along with her masquerade as Emmanuelle. Just an interesting parallel.
Hans Landa wasn't lying. He really was a great detective. So good that he was able to deduce from the clues that by this point in the war, Germany couldn't possibly win. Consequently, he would also be tried for crimes against humanity for his role in the Holocaust when Germany surrenders. So he did the only rational thing. He got out in front of it and switched sides when the opportunity arose.
Why is everyone slagging off brad pitt he added a brilliant comedic element to his character and the film, it was not meant to be as serious as other war films because its fictional.
Just be glad that Quentin Tarantino never made a Biblical movie with the same type of violence. There was a Saturday Night Live sketch called "Djesus Uncrossed" that was basically this. I would have expected something like this from MADtv, but MADtv ended in 2009 (tried to come back in 2016, but no one noticed or cared) and SNL, despite its ups and downs, does turn out hilarious sketches to this day.

Great reaction Marie like always 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. Keep up the good work.
I think the thing about the puff pastries is a bit of over-speculation. No point in such a test, plus if he knew, he would no doubt have put her in custody long before what happens later, just as a point of pride to say he finally got her. The character is ruthless but also prideful.
Sergeant York is really One Of The Best Movies EVER!! It's a fantastic film. Can't recommend it enough. Gary Cooper is awesome in this one. It also stars one of your favorites..Stumpy (Walter Brennan) from Rio Bravo. It's a must see movie. One of the Greats!
"Don't let a stranger into your house unless you know what it's for." It's an SS Colonel during the nazi occupation of France. They practically invented the no-knock warrant.
Regarding the pastry scene...I've watched a lot of reactions to this film. In one, a person commenting (who was more culturally aware than I) noted that an offer to eat pastry with cream was often used as a "Jew test," because pastries were usually made using lard, and mixing animals products with dairy products is forbidden. If the subject was reluctant, then a Jew had been identified.
A Jew trying to save their life would not appear reluctant, they'd gulp it down. And a big chunk of German Jews at the time were quite secular to begin with and wouldn't care in the first place
@@foljs5858 you're both right. It would've undoubtedly worked on some, even if they relented in the end their initial reluctance could be grounds for further investigation. However if I was in that position I would indeed swallow my pride and the pastry in one.
@@foljs5858 Yet, the scene makes sense when viewed in the light I provide. Recall how he insisted that she wait to include the cream. Further, even if it's not considered a "test," it might merely be a "degradation" enjoyed by the blatantly sadistic Landa.
It’s unlikely this is the reason Tarantino included the cream. A Jewish person would not die by not or hesitating to eat something. Nor would their god truly give a shit if it was done under duress. This is just something someone thought of and it’s spread in TH-cam comments. It’s more likely the pastry was ordered to keep audiences guessing as to whether Landa knew it was Shoshanna, as milk isn’t an unreasonable thing to drink with a pastry.
Brads throat scar was because of a hanging he survived. Seeing chapter 1 at the theaters was one of, if not the most intense & suspenseful scenes in a movie I've watched. The taverb n scene was very suspenseful, too.
This is actually my favorite Tarantino film. His ability to build tension in it is just incredible; and the characters, particularly Waltz's Hans Landa, are simply marvelous. Oh, and yes, I did see it in theaters 15 years ago. Blew my mind.

Zoller did fancy her from the start. She might be up on the ladder arranging the cinema titles, but he had seen her (and of course, being in Paris, he could have seen her earlier, at or around the Cinema). Not that it's difficult to see if a girl is pretty when they're up on a ladder. To quote the immortal words of Lt. Frank Drebin to a woman on a ladder "Nice beaver!"
In the basement bar room scene when they're playing the card game, it helps to know that King Kong was the biggest film in the world in the 1940s. King Kong was the original Star Wars or Avatar of Hollywood's golden age. So it's not really a reach that the Gestapo officer was able to solve it so fast.
The scar on Aldo's neck is from being hanged/lynched. When I first joined the Army I had a Sergeant Major who had been lynched. The scar was intimidating as hell. Implied he somehow survived being hanged by the neck.
This inspired me to rewatch my favourite WWII movies, the dutch "Black Book" and the french "Female Agents". I recommend them to anyone who sees this! Thanks for uploading! Greetings from Sweden

Everytime i see the sceane at the cinema. Their itallian presentations always keep me laughing every single time! Gorlaaaaaaami! What? Gorlamiiiiiii!😂margaretti with the hand😂and the cuoco so proud of himself😂😇masterpiece
There are so many scenes in this movie that Hitchcock would have been proud of for the suspense. The interrogation at the beginning and the bar scene stand out. The strudel in the restaurant looked divine but there was a huge side of terror served with it.
The saying something akin to "But if Hitler's there their plan fails as he didn't die that way." Then surprise! It's secretly an Alternate History Movie.
32:00 A reference to the French movie "Le Professionel" from 1981 when Jean-Paul Belmondo reaches out the helicopter - pacing, slow motion and string based melody of his agony are pretty similar.
Absolutely no spoilers here, but before watching Once Upon A Time In Hollywood you should do a bit of research on Charles Manson and his Family, if you're not familiar with them. It will enhance your enjoyment and appreciation no end
@@johgu92 He barricaded the audience's doors, so THEY couldn't get out. Then he entered a back door, so he can light the film on fire. Why would he barricade *that* door? Unless... he stayed behind, and went up with the fire (and/or got smoke inhalation) I say that he left, after lighting the fire.
@@johgu92 It's more poetic if he died that night, but if there wasn't a back door, how did he get past (checks notes) the Nazis, on his way to the other side of the screen?
Christoph Waltz is truly incredible, and it's a shame that he hasn't got any Oscars (as far as I know). He is in at least one other Tarantino movie (Hateful Eight or Django Unchained) and also a villain in one of Craig's James Bond movie. Every role I have seen him in, he kills it. Edit: Oups, he did get a well deserved Oscar for Landa!
Tarantino said the bar scene was only supposed to be 5 minutes, just meet up, exchange plans, then leave. But he said as he began to write the characters, the dialogue just went nuts! I personally believe the actress is an homage to a real German actress, who came to America, became a huge star, but still did spy stuff, plus as a genius, she invented electronic gimble targeting for submarines and bomber planes, and she is called The Grandmother of WiFi!!
37:30 On the continent count the thumb as 1. In the UK, Canada and US 1 is the pointer finger. I'm Canadian but dad from Central Europe so didn't even think about it thumb is always 1.
I am not that big a fan of Brad Pitt's acting. But he is at his absolute peak in this and I love it. This movie is basically a revenge fantasy for everyone who hates Nazis....and I love it! This and Django Unchained go together in that way.
I personally thought Landa didn’t know who she actually was. But it’s ambiguous enough and he’s smart enough that I would believe it if it was confirmed he did.
I think he did. He was just being mean and sadistic. Plus he ordered a fancy dessert just to extinguish his cigarette into it? A very vulgar move from an Aristocrat.
Always glad to see Tarantino back. Glad you liked it. You really should watch the original King Kong from 1933. My favorite movie and so much fun. On to the next one!!
A great reaction to another great Tarantino classic. I can’t wait until you get to my absolute favorite (saw it 15 times in the theater alone, often with different friends, and then maybe another 30-50 times in DOD and Blu-Ray) Tarantino movie, ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD, which like this one, is also a “fairytale”. And that one has even more Western vibes than this one. And another great performance from Brad Pitt.
"Each of your daughters is more beautiful than the last" "What an insult to the last one" In Tarantino fashion, the "Bear Jew", Donnie Donowitz, is the father of the producer, Lee Donowitz, in True Romance. The scar on Brad Pitt's neck is from being hanged.
He was also involved in movies hes typically not credited for. Desperado, true romance, death proof, Dusk til dawn, and even a couple episodes of the tv show, Alias! DR Evil is Churchill's assistant here! Tarantino almost didn't make this movie, because they couldn't find an actor fluent in English German French and Italian!
Hans Landa IMO is THE perfect villain. He doesn't kill himself; he is only a very willing tool in detecting the victims of his orders. He is a brilliant mind, completely devoid of empathy, terrifying in this stance of dealing with what he believes to be unworthy forms of life. The cold-hearted cruelty clashes violently with his knowledge of cultures, languages, the elevated art of haute cuisine and fine living, and the fine arts. His devotion to something blatantly inhumane lasts only so long as he gains an advantage through it. Once the calculating mind recognizes the inevitable failure of the doctrines and war he followed he again, completely rationally yet unemotionally, decides to switch sides. Throughout all of this he remains calm, collected, doesn't raise his voice. Even when he gets violent it is a short, concentrated outburst. Yet he is among the most terrifying villains imaginable.
You skipped the best part. After Donnie made use of his Louisville Slugger, “Teddy fuckin' Williams knocks it out of the park! Fenway Park on its feet for Teddy fuckin' Ballgame! He went yardo on that one, out to fuckin' Lansdowne Street!” Made Boston proud with that one
The scene with Churchill? The actor playing Chruchill was Rod Talyor (The Birds, The Time Machine and Giant) while that was Mike Myers as the guy briefing Michael Fassbender.
That pastry was usually made with cream but because of war shortages it was made with lard, pork fat and that was the reason it wasn't kosher. Bit you were close.
I love Tarantino films and Inglorious Bastards is my favorite of them , so many great performances with amazing editing and one of favorite film endings ever.
I would love to see you react to the movie SARGENT YORK. It's a great movie about another conscious objector in another war. It stars Gary Cooper which you might recall from the Western HIGH NOON. Do not forsake us oh our darling. You can react to SARGENT YORK. Do not forsake us Dawn Marie It's a great movie. We're sure you'll see Gary Cooper at his best.😊❤
The best thing was listening to all your groans and moans and noises you were making in the last swastika scene on the forehead at the end. Brilliant Dawn!
Yes, quirky and awesome! Oddly satisfying? Watching Brad Pitt speak Italian was over the top! Anyway. Glad you watched this one. BTW, still hoping you'll see Sergeant York someday.
In Germany, the way to indicate the number three with fingers is to extend the index, middle, and thumb fingers. This is different from how the British count to three, which is with the index, middle, and ring fingers
There's this one brief flash during the sequence with the theatre burning, where Shoshanna (on film) looks very smoky & ghostly. It reminds me a bit of how in Raiders Of The Lost Ark, all the ghostly spirits flew around, looking almost beautiful - right before the Nazis in that one had a real bad time. I wonder whether in this film the shot selection was done as a sort of homage to that scene.
Casting someone fluent in German, French, Italian and English, who is also an amazing actor, was *almost* impossible
"The Improbable Mr. Waltz"....I daresay he'd rather enjoy being known by such a sensational title.

But, like... I'd gladly fall asleep to you singing lullabies. 😅 Your voice is INTOXICATING.
Zoller did fancy her from the start. She might be up on the ladder arranging the cinema titles, but he had seen her (and of course, being in Paris, he could have seen her earlier, at or around the Cinema). Not that it's difficult to see if a girl is pretty when they're up on a ladder. To quote the immortal words of Lt. Frank Drebin to a woman on a ladder "Nice beaver!"
In the basement bar room scene when they're playing the card game, it helps to know that King Kong was the biggest film in the world in the 1940s. King Kong was the original Star Wars or Avatar of Hollywood's golden age. So it's not really a reach that the Gestapo officer was able to solve it so fast.
The scar on Aldo's neck is from being hanged/lynched. When I first joined the Army I had a Sergeant Major who had been lynched. The scar was intimidating as hell. Implied he somehow survived being hanged by the neck.
This inspired me to rewatch my favourite WWII movies, the dutch "Black Book" and the french "Female Agents". I recommend them to anyone who sees this!
Thanks for uploading! Greetings from Sweden
Ah, a fellow swede, help me inspire her to watch Sjunde inseglet!
@dolf370 A bit dull, isn't it? Or maybe I was too young when I tried to watch it, maybe I'd appreciate it more today? I'd rather have her watch Smala Sussie, I've sent her a dvd. 😄
@@andreasbenning "Dull"!?!?!?! That kind of blasphemy is just the reason why people are burned at the stake . It's the best swedish movie ever made. And besides being very funny, it is also in black and white which Dawn loves.
@dolf370 I'll rewatch it before saying anything about it again! 😄
@@andreasbenning excellent idea 😈
Everytime i see the sceane at the cinema. Their itallian presentations always keep me laughing every single time! Gorlaaaaaaami! What? Gorlamiiiiiii!😂margaretti with the hand😂and the cuoco so proud of himself😂😇masterpiece
There are so many scenes in this movie that Hitchcock would have been proud of for the suspense. The interrogation at the beginning and the bar scene stand out. The strudel in the restaurant looked divine but there was a huge side of terror served with it.
The saying something akin to "But if Hitler's there their plan fails as he didn't die that way." Then surprise! It's secretly an Alternate History Movie.
I used to work at a theater and that is how the sign is changed even to this day by some theaters and it was my favorite part of the job.
A little chance to get away from your co-workers? 😁
you have such good editors!!!
Tarantino actually wanted Adam Sandler to play the Bear Jew. Would’ve been a totally different character 🤣
That would have been quite different. I can picture how goofy the bat scene would be in the Billy Madison voice.
32:00 A reference to the French movie "Le Professionel" from 1981 when Jean-Paul Belmondo reaches out the helicopter - pacing, slow motion and string based melody of his agony are pretty similar.
I had totally forgotten about Borat's cameo in this movie.
Absolutely no spoilers here, but before watching Once Upon A Time In Hollywood you should do a bit of research on Charles Manson and his Family, if you're not familiar with them. It will enhance your enjoyment and appreciation no end
Sergeant York is a GREAT movie to look at. It's a good movie, and I don't think a lot of other reactors watch it.
YES! I've been asking lots of people to review/react to "Sgt York" starring Gary Cooper. No one has. It's a true story and has a love interest too.
Christoph Waltz EARNED his Oscar for this performance
It's likely that Marcel got out, unless he wanted to die with Shoshanna.
I wish there was a small scene of him in the credits, smoking at a cafe and waiting for Shoshanna.
He most certainly died
@@johgu92 He barricaded the audience's doors, so THEY couldn't get out. Then he entered a back door, so he can light the film on fire. Why would he barricade *that* door?
Unless... he stayed behind, and went up with the fire (and/or got smoke inhalation)
I say that he left, after lighting the fire.
@@charleslee8313 No way, it's way more poetical if he died, also there was not shown to be a back entrance.
@@johgu92 It's more poetic if he died that night, but if there wasn't a back door, how did he get past (checks notes) the Nazis, on his way to the other side of the screen?
Yay! Dawn is back! :) great to see ya as always!
“Once upon a time haha ….. oh” lol that gave me a chuckle
I love how the German sergeant says Hugo Stiglitz.
Christoph Waltz is truly incredible, and it's a shame that he hasn't got any Oscars (as far as I know). He is in at least one other Tarantino movie (Hateful Eight or Django Unchained) and also a villain in one of Craig's James Bond movie.
Every role I have seen him in, he kills it.
Edit: Oups, he did get a well deserved Oscar for Landa!
Love how u take notes. Certainly helped keeping track of all the X-Men. (lol)
Yes do watch Sgt. York. Gary Cooper, black and white, 1941. Excellent movie.
Sergeant York(1941) would be a great choice of an old war film to react to.
"I can't look at that!" While she's staring right at it!
Oh Ya Burger what a film brutal & brilliant (I think you can breath now Dawn) Another great reaction
Tarantino said the bar scene was only supposed to be 5 minutes, just meet up, exchange plans, then leave. But he said as he began to write the characters, the dialogue just went nuts! I personally believe the actress is an homage to a real German actress, who came to America, became a huge star, but still did spy stuff, plus as a genius, she invented electronic gimble targeting for submarines and bomber planes, and she is called The Grandmother of WiFi!!
37:30 On the continent count the thumb as 1. In the UK, Canada and US 1 is the pointer finger. I'm Canadian but dad from Central Europe so didn't even think about it thumb is always 1.
"Everyone! Everyone lost their balls!" ROFL
I am not that big a fan of Brad Pitt's acting. But he is at his absolute peak in this and I love it.
This movie is basically a revenge fantasy for everyone who hates Nazis....and I love it! This and Django Unchained go together in that way.
I personally thought Landa didn’t know who she actually was. But it’s ambiguous enough and he’s smart enough that I would believe it if it was confirmed he did.
I think he did. He was just being mean and sadistic.
Plus he ordered a fancy dessert just to extinguish his cigarette into it? A very vulgar move from an Aristocrat.
he knew, Hans Landa orders the Shosanna a glass of milk, a reference to the opening scene in the movie, implying that he knew
@@ThobyWanOr maybe just a coincidence
@@ThobyWan yeah but milk is also common to have with pastry
I think he did, but he's sadistic and likes the mental torture he has over her.
Hi Dawn Marie. Great movie reaction pumpkin. Love you.
Always glad to see Tarantino back. Glad you liked it. You really should watch the original King Kong from 1933. My favorite movie and so much fun. On to the next one!!
A great reaction to another great Tarantino classic. I can’t wait until you get to my absolute favorite (saw it 15 times in the theater alone, often with different friends, and then maybe another 30-50 times in DOD and Blu-Ray) Tarantino movie, ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD, which like this one, is also a “fairytale”.
And that one has even more Western vibes than this one. And another great performance from Brad Pitt.
"Each of your daughters is more beautiful than the last"
"What an insult to the last one"
In Tarantino fashion, the "Bear Jew", Donnie Donowitz, is the father of the producer, Lee Donowitz, in True Romance. The scar on Brad Pitt's neck is from being hanged.
Kristoff is amazing. His phoney courtesy is terrifying. 🏆 🥂
If your going to edit your comment, at least spell the mans name correctly....and stop liking your own comment.
He was also involved in movies hes typically not credited for. Desperado, true romance, death proof, Dusk til dawn, and even a couple episodes of the tv show, Alias!
DR Evil is Churchill's assistant here! Tarantino almost didn't make this movie, because they couldn't find an actor fluent in English German French and Italian!
I agree with some of your other viewers, Sergeant York is a fantastic movie to react to. I believe you will love it.
Hans Landa IMO is THE perfect villain. He doesn't kill himself; he is only a very willing tool in detecting the victims of his orders.
He is a brilliant mind, completely devoid of empathy, terrifying in this stance of dealing with what he believes to be unworthy forms of life. The cold-hearted cruelty clashes violently with his knowledge of cultures, languages, the elevated art of haute cuisine and fine living, and the fine arts. His devotion to something blatantly inhumane lasts only so long as he gains an advantage through it. Once the calculating mind recognizes the inevitable failure of the doctrines and war he followed he again, completely rationally yet unemotionally, decides to switch sides.
Throughout all of this he remains calm, collected, doesn't raise his voice. Even when he gets violent it is a short, concentrated outburst. Yet he is among the most terrifying villains imaginable.
I didn't see this in theaters, but I did see Django in theaters on Christmas day. That was pretty awesome!
Stolz der Nation, the film about the sniper, is on the DVD in full. Eli Roth directed it.
Yes you'd love sgt. York!
Loquacious= Very Talkative,,,Excessive Talking,,garrulous,,,speaking expressively
You skipped the best part. After Donnie made use of his Louisville Slugger, “Teddy fuckin' Williams knocks it out of the park! Fenway Park on its feet for Teddy fuckin' Ballgame! He went yardo on that one, out to fuckin' Lansdowne Street!” Made Boston proud with that one
The scene with Churchill? The actor playing Chruchill was Rod Talyor (The Birds, The Time Machine and Giant) while that was Mike Myers as the guy briefing Michael Fassbender.
I haven't watched in a while, just have to say your hair looks magnificent
That pastry was usually made with cream but because of war shortages it was made with lard, pork fat and that was the reason it wasn't kosher. Bit you were close.
11:18 guy sounded like a goblin 🤣
I love Tarantino films and Inglorious Bastards is my favorite of them , so many great performances with amazing editing and one of favorite film endings ever.
THESE EYELASSES ARE MUCH BETTER
I would love to see you react to the movie SARGENT YORK. It's a great movie about another conscious objector in another war. It stars Gary Cooper which you might recall from the Western HIGH NOON.
Do not forsake us oh our darling.
You can react to SARGENT YORK.
Do not forsake us Dawn Marie
It's a great movie. We're sure you'll see
Gary Cooper at his best.😊❤
The best thing was listening to all your groans and moans and noises you were making in the last swastika scene on the forehead at the end. Brilliant Dawn!
Yes, quirky and awesome! Oddly satisfying? Watching Brad Pitt speak Italian was over the top! Anyway. Glad you watched this one. BTW, still hoping you'll see Sergeant York someday.
Side note: LOVE the Marx Brothers picture in the background.
Quentin Tarantino, the master of alternate endings
In Germany, the way to indicate the number three with fingers is to extend the index, middle, and thumb fingers. This is different from how the British count to three, which is with the index, middle, and ring fingers
There's this one brief flash during the sequence with the theatre burning, where Shoshanna (on film) looks very smoky & ghostly.
It reminds me a bit of how in Raiders Of The Lost Ark, all the ghostly spirits flew around, looking almost beautiful - right before the Nazis in that one had a real bad time.
I wonder whether in this film the shot selection was done as a sort of homage to that scene.
My favorite Tarantino flick by far.
