Another interesting nuance not discussed in the movie is in the scene with the strudel. Landa is not only suspicious of everyone and trying to figure her out, there's layers to how he does this. During WW2 this strudel would have been made with pig lard instead of butter due to wartime shortage, something a jewish person would visibly have a hard time eating. That's why he basically forces her. Also in the beginning farm scene when he asks for milk and grasps the daughters hand, he actually positions his fingers in such a way so he could feel her pulse and know if her heart was racing. So many nuances to this character. Christoph Waltz is amazing.
Hans Landa is probably the most savage polite villian ever. He uses politeness and manners to put people at ease so they will slip up as he questions them.
@@ColetteCherry If you've not seen Pulp Fiction, it should be your next Tarantino film! Once upon a Time in Hollywood is another really good one, brush up on your history of the Manson family/Tate murders before you watch that one, its a great 'what if' movie, like Inglorious Bastards, but also a great look into Hollywood in the 60's, early 70's. .
42:43 "Mein Führer" means "My Leader" and was used to address Adolf Hitler during his rule over Nazi Germany. The term "Führer" emphasized his absolute authority, and people used it as a sign of loyalty, reinforced by propaganda and fear. Today, it’s strongly tied to Hitler and the Nazi era, making it a term with a very negative historical connotation
When the German actress meets with the Basterds, she tells them “the Führer will be attending the movie premiere”, meaning Hitler will be attending it. During Hitler’s reign, words like “Führererlass”, literally leader’s degree, were used, a modern equivalent would be a presidential degree (only that in totalitarian regime such a degree would supersede anything else).
Christoph Waltz only agreed to star in Django if he was cast as the absolute opposite of Hans Landa because he didn’t want to play someone as evil again…Tarantino obviously agreed and cast him as Dr. King Schultz
21:40 The reason why Landa insistead she stayed with him to eat the strudel, because due to the wartime shortages, the strudel was made of pig lard, instead of butter. He was testing her reaction to eating food Judaism forbids to consume, either because he was suspecting her identity, and tried to get her to giver herself away, or because he knew who she was, and wanted to torture her.
One of the most intense opening scenes in film history, the silence screams. Only Quentin Tarantino could weaponize food. The cheeseburger in Pulp Fiction with Sam Jackson..."Mmm-hmm that is a tasty burger!" As with the milk is used with in this and later the crème in the film...well done.
@@azazello1784 What makes him an antihero? It's been a long time since I';ve seen this movie and maybe parts were edited out here that displayed his antihero traits, but I didn't see any.
It is refreshing to see a TH-cam "reactioner" as smart as you. You see everything, the plot, the subtleties and more. Very wonderful to see you totally "get it" in every scenario. Also how you see Tarantino's construction of the events and again "get it" is so awesome. Great movie, glad you enjoyed it! ALSO: I predict you will go far! 🙂
Actually Hellstrom understand everything from beginning. His job is to know german soldiers in this region and he obviously noticed Stiglitz. But pub was full of soldiers so he too relaxed and tried to outplay spies to understand what they trying to do.
Normally I prefer more historically accurate war films, but this one is just so damn fun! And the cast is superb! Thank you for watching this! And loving following your journey on your film!
in bar scene, everything was wrong with Fasbander character, maybe with soldiers they could get out of it, but the SS Officer understood everything because of his accent and it wasn't the ''three'' hand sign that revealed him, the sign just confirmed it. And about ''strudel'' scene, yes Landa knew who Shushana was, drinking milk while eating strudel, won't be koshier, even that he ordered milk says everything.
i'm obsessed with the pipes scene and even developed my own little theory. apparently landa's pipe is one of the most expensive types, ivory or something, but perrier's pipe is the cheapest self made out of corn. so i think, at least i consider it my head cannon, that the jeweish family's father made this pipe as a gift for the guy.
Gonna drop a random bit of historical fact here to complement that scene from 31:00 where the woman is explaining how to order "Three glasses" the german way. But in my case, regarding soviet soldiers back during the second world war. My ex-wife is russian, and she had a grandfather who used to work in a factory building parts for guns and other machinery. His name was Vitaly, and he used to tell this story where one day they caught a german spy investigating their bunkers. Same story as this movie, at first he was interrogated due to his accent, but what eventually betrayed him was the UNIFORM he was wearing. You see, russians used buttons on their jackets and each had 4 holes, allowing for a double wrap when using a line to form a stitch. In the end, each button would display 2 vertical lines. But the german spy had buttons with an X type of stitch instead, the kind russians never used. And that's what got him caught.
For me - I am an Austrian - the most amazing thing about this movie is: that every major actor is speaking all the languages by themselfe. Waltz speaks german, italian, french and all of his english dialogues. Most of the german actors, if not all , do the same. Diane Kruger fakes english with a german accent although she can speak flawless english and german. And even Michael Fassbander - whom I love for his perfect british - does his german lines in this movie by himself!
Hell or High Water is a must see with great actors. It’s written by Taylor Sheridan who also does the best TV series Yellowstone, among many other shows and movies.
Enjoy your opinion on movies. This was a good choice. My fav scenes are the beginning one, and the bar-mexican shootoff scene. That's what I'm looking for in people's reactions, and you comprehensively broke it down/felt the moment. Love your attention to detail.
As pointed out in the film itself, the British guy pretending to be German gave himself as he had a foreign accent to his German and did not display "three" the German way. Besides Germans, most Europeans start counting with their thumb, not the index finger. Phonological and body language both can give someone away as not being native to a country or region.
Fun fact: Leonardo DiCaprio was originally considered for Hans Landa, but Tarantino changed his mind as he wrote the script (Leo is half-German and his mom was born in Germany towards the end of World War II). I wouldn’t be surprised if Leo’s role as Calvin Candie in DJANGO UNCHAINED was in part to make up for this.
Thank you very much for this new video,so great reactions and many helpful and useful informations for everybody! Warm greetings from the Central Europe (the Czech Republic). Have a wonderful,beautiful time and take care.Btw - during your amazing videos I improve my English - thanks a lot!
My favorite part of this movie is that it doesn't have to be an alternate history. There is some controversy over how Hitler died, since it's more than likely people would have made up conspiracy theories right after he died unless it was filmed. Yes, he more than likely died in his bunker; high as a kite ... but it wouldn't be inconceivable/impossible that this was the actual version. In my head-canon, Aldo carved that last symbol too deep and Landa did not survive to go to Nantucket. I mean, would the head brass really care if he died en-route? He already gave up all the info they needed anyway.
Quentin Tarantino is one of the best Directors of all time in my opinion. His movies can be a bit much for people but despite what he does he always does it with style and intent. He doesn't just direct movies, he weaves a tapestry of experience.
Colette il give u one thing ur great at seeing the undertones and hidden stuff then every other reactor I watch don’t get , u see it straight away, u said u do acting that’s prop why , great channel ,great reactions and input 👍👍👍
@Colette Cherry I've been waiting for a while for you to get into Tarantino's movies. You always have a really good take on the production side of the movies and this is pretty much a masterpiece. So many people say Tarantino is overrated. I most respectfully disagree. His characters are amazing the dialogues are very organic and natural and I absolutely love the way he shoots his scenes. Those long takes just stay on the characters whilst they're having a conversation and he let the scene develop I absolutely love this style. Plenty of fun, violence, the tension in some of these scenes are through the rooof and you just sitting there knowing it will explode but dont know when. Loving it. Gotta say for me Christoph Waltz was a huge standout in this movie. He played that despicable character with such charm it was really fascinating. That scene with in the lobby of the cinema was hilarious, he was toying with them and congratulated the 3rd guy for saying his own name with convincing italian. Superb acting and great writing. Such fun.
They all expected to die anyway so dont be sad for them! Frederick had a thing for her and Shoshanna for him, not that she had a thing for him, but was a bit endeared to him, and regretted killing him.
Almost 100,000 subs. Keep going you’re gonna hit the stratosphere. By the way, I was born in Heidelberg, Germany, the colonel Landa is a freak of nature
Christoph Waltz was essential in this movie even happening. Tarentino couldn't find an actor he was satisfied with for the role if Hans Landa. When Waltz agreed to do the role, thats when filming was finally able to proceed.
If you want a director to push the envelope, Quentin Tarantino pushes the whole post office! 😂 Definitely watch the Kill Bills next. I think you’d love them. My personal favorites are those, this one, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, and Hateful 8. Although honestly, you really should just work through his entire filmography (there’s only 9 movies).
I just realized that if indeed Shosanna's story takes place in Paris, 4 years after the massacre of her family (1941), then that doesn't make a lot of sense. The year would be 1945 and the Germans were not sitting firmly in Paris by then. Of course I do realize it's not meant to be historically accurate but still, after all those years just done the math xD
"Why are they calling him Mein Fuhrer?" lol.. oh Colette.. you're so funny 🤣🤣 It's German for My Leader.. it's what everyone in Nazi Germany called Hitler. Also for what it's worth I never thought you pre-watched movies. I just know you pause and rewind a lot (which you always say you do).. so of course you figure out certain details about movies.. it's part of what I love about your reactions. I love a lot of other reactors as well.. but this is one thing that makes you different from others and I appreciate that!
If you really wanna be challenged, my humble recomendations are "Oldboy" (Korea, dir: Park Chan Wook) "City of God" (Brazil dir: Fernando Meirelles) "Ran" (Japan dir: Akira Kurosawa) and "Wild Tales" (Argentine dir:Damián Szifron)
Brilliant reaction Colette, really appreciate your intelligent and insightful commentary. I could tell you somehow didn't realise that was Hitler because you didn't link the huge portrait being painted in the background with this guy in front of it 😂
@ColetteCherry But you rolled with it well, kept going, and youtubed the video anyway. Those are positive qualities; I expect they serve you well in your profession, too.
@@bartlebyscrivener2980someone suggested I delete that from my video because it made me look “bad” however I decided to not edit that out because I’m not trying to come across as smarter/ or better than I actually am. I didn’t put it together until the end of the movie and I should show the true process of how I realized it , rather than edit it in a way that makes me look better! So what if I I look dumb or bad, i have to learn what new terms like Fuhrer mean by watching films like this. I’m learning about history and if people are called dumb by trying to learn new topics , then so be it!
The best way to think of Tarantino’s films where he employs “Revisionist History” (of which he has several) is as he perfectly summarised himself: “This is not how we know history played out…but it is however how history *WOULD* have played out if my own characters were real.”.
I've become a massive fan of Chappell Roan this year... The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess is the greatest album I've heard in any genre in a long time. The concepts for a number of her songs are alternative realities of events in her RL... i.e., based on real events, but what she wished HAD happened. She wanted to be a cheerleader in h.s. but knew she wouldn't get picked; so she created HOT TO GO! and lead 80,000 people at once in a cheer-like dance. In 2019 she envied the go-go dancers at a gay bar in LA, and made herself a go-go dancer in her mind instead in Pink Pony Club. She didn't really get with the women in Red Wine Supernova and Naked in Manhattan, she was still in the fantasizing stage, imagining it. Her h.s. prom date wouldn't dance with her and even left her stranded at prom; in Super Graphic Ultra Modern Girl she flips the script and it is her who finds her dull, non-dancing date inadequate and rejects him. I don't think her emotionally abusive ex from RL crashed his car, but in My Kink is Karma he did. She was crazy about the Picture You guy, but it turned out he was dissing her behind her back (he's also the Casual guy). And maybe most poignantly, her ex in Coffee, in RL she actually did meet up with him and go home with him, after which she regretted it; she put into song what she wished she had done instead. Sorry to all of you who aren't Chappell Roan fans, for you all of that was way OT. But yes this IS what Tarantino also is delivering to us, except in brilliant cinematic form, in Inglourious Basterds and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood: Preferred outcomes to what unfortunately happened IRL. Also I'm taking a stab in the dark that Colette just might be a Chappell fan, too. (Actually IDK of very many young women who currently are not.)
Also the pub scene... Tarantino said, he meant it to be a max 5 minute scene. Just everyone meet each other, exchange info, then get out. But he said, as he began to write each characters dialogue, they just kept talking and going and the direction of the scene just went haywire!
The British spy said 3 glasses and used his index, middle and ring fingers to indicate 3. Germans use thumb index and middle so he immediately knew that he wasn’t a real german
He and the producers wanted to do the movie but thought it would never happen. They couldn't find a actor fluent in English German French and at least verbal in Italian. They tried dozens of actors, all no good. In walks cristof, they run lines with him a bit. He leaves. Tarantino and the producers look at each other and say, we've got a movie! He's also excellent in Django, Alita battle angel, and a killer in a movie i think called The Consultant! Also because he uses actors over and over, Sam Jackson does some narration here, and Mr Wolf/Mr White talks to brad Pitt over the phone! The bear jew is Eli Roth a excellent horror director. Hos movie Clown, is terrifying! Pull up a short here, type in Eli Roths' Clown! Also he does something very smart here, to try snd smoke out shoshana. During the lunch scene, everything he offered her to eat and drink, is non Kosher!😮😮😮
21:37 Landa ordering Strudel with cream was a test. Back then cream was often made with lard due to rationing. Lard is not kosher, so Jews would usually refuse to eat it. He knows that. Since he suspects her of being Shoshana he ordered it to a) see if she eats it b) humiliate her.
This is clearly a very well made and entertaining movie. But people should not forget that the "good" in this movie commit several war crimes to entertain the viewer. By calling the enemy "Nazis" some viewers might forget that those people are german soldiers at first. And even when their beliefs are at least highly debatable those people are still humans. We are also talking about the 40s. The political opinions of average americans these days could shock a modern audience too.
1:36 "Is this Fassbenders big breakout role?" I don't think so. He got on my radar three years prior to Inglourious Basterds, when he played in 300. That's what got him into big action hollywood.
All Tarantino movies are good! Even those with minor or no credits such as True Romance Desperado El Mariachi Dusk til dawn, Death Proof, he even did an episode or 2 of Alias! His first written and directed is still my favorite. Reservoir dogs is very few sets locations, and dialogue heavy! Also churchills assistant here is Mike Myers!😮😮😮 Also the original inglorious basterds was done in the 70s. Totally different tho.
Quentin has called Hans Landa his most challenging character, and was close to abandon the film because he couldnt find the perfect actor for it. Until Christoph Waltz auditioned. Because Christoph was relatively unknown to the other actors, Quentin told him to under-perform during rehearsals so that the actors would be taken by surprise during filming. Christoph got an Oscar for the perfomance.
Hi Colette, if u liked Christoph in this movie check out Django (tarantino) and the carnage by roman Polanski. Really love your vids, keep up this good job!!!
Mélanie Laurent, the French actress who played Shoshana, is Jewish in real life and she also played a Jewish heroine of sorts in a 2018 film 'Operation Finale' where she played the part of one of a team of Israeli special agents hunting down the escaped Nazi Adolf Eichmann in Argentina in 1960 to bring him to trial in Israel.
This movie opens with one of the best slow-build tension scenes in movie history. And it wasn't even the best slow build tension scene in this movie. Drei Gläser!
I suggest you watch Defiance (2008). Based on a true story of Jews fighting back against the Nazis as partisans. It stars Daniel Craig and Liev Schreiber.
My advice is to watch every Q.T. movie that exists. They're all brilliant. Especially if you're studying acting. The related 'b-reel' stuff and interviews and whatnot can also be pretty good for these movies.
I remember during my studies in the US we went to a discotheque (as a german) and i odered one beer, the waitress accustically didnt understood me and said " THREE?" and i said " no ONE" and put up my thumb to show her by sign language i only wanted one. The rest of the night i was walking around with three beer. So I instantly knew he was dead when he did that weird 3 fingers. lessons for life!
Discotheque eh? Love the throwback word, it's not something most young people now would use. Nowadays we just call it a bar or club. Good stuff, see how knowing other cultures broadens the mind, eh? I love it. Some people also say three with the middle finger, ring and pinkie held up. If you need a reference for that in the original Spiderman movie with Toby Mcguire, when he is fighting Bone Saw in the cage match, Bone Saw holds up three fingers that way to signify three minutes.
You need to watch 'Das Boot' - it's an absolute masterpiece; it's about a German submarine and its crew in WWII, and is simply a work of genius. I guarantee you will LOVE it! You should also check out 'Natural Born Killers' which Tarantino was involved in - I think the film is excellent, but it can be a tough watch for some.
From a young age to 20 - I watched primarily TV shows and old classic films. My favorite tv shows were Gossip girl and Disney channel shows lol. I also watched a lot of films with my grandmother. Dirty Dancing, Gone With The Wind, Pride and Prejudice, were some of our favorites. I always stayed away from certain types of film just because I was more entertained by love stories at the time. Now I am opening up to new genres like this and other history / war films! Thanks for being here, I’m enjoying this exploration.
The scene where Hans Lands offered her cake with the cream is really important btw. Cream in that time was made with a little pig fat In it, and not kosher. So Jews wouldn’t eat it. Its an awesome detail from Quentin Tarantino
Ironically, America had a big time German actress, who was a spy and brilliant. She invented triple axel or gimble targeting systems for planes and tanks and subs, which made them far more accurate and is also called the mother or grandmother of WiFi. I believe it was heddy Lamar!
If the farmer at the beginning hadn't told Landa the truth, he still would have found the hiding family, but the farmer's family would have died too. He had no choice but to protect his family.
0:01 It's the way he showed the 3 with his fingers. He gave himself away by using, what we call the "British hand gesture". To show 3 by hand, germans use : "Thumb, index and middle fingers", while british use "index, middle and ring fingers"
My high school German teacher warned his students, when in German-speaking countries, if you want to order one, and hold up just the index finger, you will get two. I was not enough of a smartass to ask if you flip them the bird, do you get three.

The performance of Christoph Waltz as Colonel Hans Landa, is one of the greatests ever. What an amazing character. Terrific, classy and smart as hell.
Uh, si, correcto.
@@UpTheDown7 He works *so* well with Tarantino's dialogue it's ridiculous. He is 2/2 in Oscars for Tarantino movie lmao
Another interesting nuance not discussed in the movie is in the scene with the strudel. Landa is not only suspicious of everyone and trying to figure her out, there's layers to how he does this.

Waltz is amazing.
Hans Landa is probably the most savage polite villian ever. He uses politeness and manners to put people at ease so they will slip up as he questions them.
Landa was smart enough to know the war was turning and the Germans were losing and ensured his survival.
He was upset his detective skills were put to use tracking random innocent people instead of the team looking for magic holy relics.
@@mokane86 - Technically it may be correct! :)
Blavatsky, Erik Jan Hanussen, Maria Orsic and Thule, entered the chat ;)
The first scene in this movie is a master class on how to build suspense
Agreed!

Love how Aldo can barely manage a hello in Italian and then Landa just throws a freaking book.

That's nonsense. Landa wasn't evil, he was cunning and crafty

Thanks for the reaction! I'm glad my favorite reactors are genuine. Keep up the good work!
Your next Tarantino movie has to be Django Unchained. Christoph Waltz again gives an amazing
Performance and so does Leonardo DiCaprio.
And hopefully Once upon a time in Hollywood. I think that movie is one of Tarantino's finest.
A hell of a masterpiece, Christopher Waltz as Hans Landa is the best villian in Tarantino's whole filmografy 😆
And one of the best heros!
He wasn't a villain, he was an anti-hero
@@azazello1784 What makes him an antihero? It's been a long time since I';ve seen this movie and maybe parts were edited out here that displayed his antihero traits, but I didn't see any.
@@alswearengen6427 He was a flawed and self-centered character but he did a good deed by stopping the war
Führer was Hitler's title. It's like calling Abe Lincoln "Mr. President".
Or like genuflecting to Donald Trump
Fuhrer is just Leader in German.
The music when Landa enters the room with everyone talking about showing the movie at Shoshannas cinema is MAD goosebumps
Which other Quinton Tarantino films should you watch??? ALL OF THEM!
It is refreshing to see a TH-cam "reactioner" as smart as you. You see everything, the plot, the subtleties and more. Very wonderful to see you totally "get it" in every scenario.

I can honestly say that the entire basement sequence is my favorite from Tarantino.

Great reaction! It’s crazy how the long dialogue scenes can stay so intense for so long.
The reason they focused on the cream in the scene with landa and shoshanna is cause it isnt Kosher, also fuhrer is a title not a name
Gonna drop a random bit of historical fact here to complement that scene from 31:00 where the woman is explaining how to order "Three glasses" the german way.
But in my case, regarding soviet soldiers back during the second world war.
My ex-wife is russian, and she had a grandfather who used to work in a factory building parts for guns and other machinery. His name was Vitaly, and he used to tell this story where one day they caught a german spy investigating their bunkers. Same story as this movie, at first he was interrogated due to his accent, but what eventually betrayed him was the UNIFORM he was wearing.
You see, russians used buttons on their jackets and each had 4 holes, allowing for a double wrap when using a line to form a stitch. In the end, each button would display 2 vertical lines.
But the german spy had buttons with an X type of stitch instead, the kind russians never used.
And that's what got him caught.
For me - I am an Austrian - the most amazing thing about this movie is: that every major actor is speaking all the languages by themselfe.

That scene with in the lobby of the cinema was hilarious, he was toying with them and congratulated the 3rd guy for saying his own name with convincing italian. Superb acting and great writing. Such fun.
They all expected to die anyway so dont be sad for them! Frederick had a thing for her and Shoshanna for him, not that she had a thing for him, but was a bit endeared to him, and regretted killing him.
"Mein Führer" means 'my Leader', which is what the Nazis called Hitler.
If you want another great thriller, but in the sci-fi realm, I'd highly recommend "Sphere".
Almost 100,000 subs. Keep going you’re gonna hit the stratosphere.
By the way, I was born in Heidelberg, Germany, the colonel Landa is a freak of nature
my favorite part is when Mike Meyers says "The objective? Blow up the basket..." the look on his face is just too subtle and good.
😜
I made a few custom
Wallets and belts for friends and family that had the slogan ‘A Bastards work is never done.’
Christoph Waltz was essential in this movie even happening. Tarentino couldn't find an actor he was satisfied with for the role if Hans Landa. When Waltz agreed to do the role, thats when filming was finally able to proceed.
If you want a director to push the envelope, Quentin Tarantino pushes the whole post office! 😂
Definitely watch the Kill Bills next. I think you’d love them. My personal favorites are those, this one, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, and Hateful 8. Although honestly, you really should just work through his entire filmography (there’s only 9 movies).
Hi Colette hope you are having an great and awesome day ❤
Waltz is acting amazingly both in here and Django. I wish id see more of him.
He’s amazing and I’m checking on Django next
I just realized that if indeed Shosanna's story takes place in Paris, 4 years after the massacre of her family (1941), then that doesn't make a lot of sense. The year would be 1945 and the Germans were not sitting firmly in Paris by then. Of course I do realize it's not meant to be historically accurate but still, after all those years just done the math xD
The accuracy of the dates is irrelevant because it's suppose to be a parallel time line.
They show in the movie the year is 1944 when we meet Shoshana again.
@@GreatOutdoors1 - yup, so it's not 4 years after the massacre :)
I’ve been waiting on this one 🔥
29:10 in Germany when they used their hands to count they start with the thumb
"Why are they calling him Mein Fuhrer?" lol.. oh Colette.. you're so funny 🤣🤣 It's German for My Leader.. it's what everyone in Nazi Germany called Hitler. Also for what it's worth I never thought you pre-watched movies. I just know you pause and rewind a lot (which you always say you do).. so of course you figure out certain details about movies.. it's part of what I love about your reactions. I love a lot of other reactors as well.. but this is one thing that makes you different from others and I appreciate that!
If you really wanna be challenged, my humble recomendations are "Oldboy" (Korea, dir: Park Chan Wook) "City of God" (Brazil dir: Fernando Meirelles) "Ran" (Japan dir: Akira Kurosawa) and "Wild Tales" (Argentine dir:Damián Szifron)
Brilliant reaction Colette, really appreciate your intelligent and insightful commentary. I could tell you somehow didn't realise that was Hitler because you didn't link the huge portrait being painted in the background with this guy in front of it 😂
never felt so unintelligent when it all hit me an hour after that scene
@ColetteCherry
But you rolled with it well, kept going, and youtubed the video anyway. Those are positive qualities; I expect they serve you well in your profession, too.
@@bartlebyscrivener2980someone suggested I delete that from my video because it made me look “bad” however I decided to not edit that out because I’m not trying to come across as smarter/ or better than I actually am. I didn’t put it together until the end of the movie and I should show the true process of how I realized it , rather than edit it in a way that makes me look better! So what if I I look dumb or bad, i have to learn what new terms like Fuhrer mean by watching films like this. I’m learning about history and if people are called dumb by trying to learn new topics , then so be it!
Brad Pitt: "I'm the big star of this movie."
Christoph Waltz: "Hold my strudel."
I just rewatched this movie last night!
You've quickly become one of my favourite reactors on TH-cam. Are you an actress in theatre shows or movies and TV?
Also, I gotta point out the sheer irony of commenting what Fassbender's tell was, *_when the movie literally does that._*
The best way to think of Tarantino’s films where he employs “Revisionist History” (of which he has several) is as he perfectly summarised himself: “This is not how we know history played out…but it is however how history *WOULD* have played out if my own characters were real.”.
I've become a massive fan of Chappell Roan this year... The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess is the greatest album I've heard in any genre in a long time. The concepts for a number of her songs are alternative realities of events in her RL... i.e., based on real events, but what she wished HAD happened.
She wanted to be a cheerleader in h.s. but knew she wouldn't get picked; so she created HOT TO GO! and lead 80,000 people at once in a cheer-like dance. In 2019 she envied the go-go dancers at a gay bar in LA, and made herself a go-go dancer in her mind instead in Pink Pony Club. She didn't really get with the women in Red Wine Supernova and Naked in Manhattan, she was still in the fantasizing stage, imagining it. Her h.s. prom date wouldn't dance with her and even left her stranded at prom; in Super Graphic Ultra Modern Girl she flips the script and it is her who finds her dull, non-dancing date inadequate and rejects him. I don't think her emotionally abusive ex from RL crashed his car, but in My Kink is Karma he did. She was crazy about the Picture You guy, but it turned out he was dissing her behind her back (he's also the Casual guy). And maybe most poignantly, her ex in Coffee, in RL she actually did meet up with him and go home with him, after which she regretted it; she put into song what she wished she had done instead.
Sorry to all of you who aren't Chappell Roan fans, for you all of that was way OT. But yes this IS what Tarantino also is delivering to us, except in brilliant cinematic form, in Inglourious Basterds and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood: Preferred outcomes to what unfortunately happened IRL.
Also I'm taking a stab in the dark that Colette just might be a Chappell fan, too. (Actually IDK of very many young women who currently are not.)
like all of his films, the dialog is just crazy good.
Also the pub scene... Tarantino said, he meant it to be a max 5 minute scene. Just everyone meet each other, exchange info, then get out. But he said, as he began to write each characters dialogue, they just kept talking and going and the direction of the scene just went haywire!
The British spy said 3 glasses and used his index, middle and ring fingers to indicate 3. Germans use thumb index and middle so he immediately knew that he wasn’t a real german
This the first film I ever saw Christoph Waltz in and I was blown away with how good he was!
He and the producers wanted to do the movie but thought it would never happen. They couldn't find a actor fluent in English German French and at least verbal in Italian. They tried dozens of actors, all no good. In walks cristof, they run lines with him a bit. He leaves. Tarantino and the producers look at each other and say, we've got a movie! He's also excellent in Django, Alita battle angel, and a killer in a movie i think called The Consultant! Also because he uses actors over and over, Sam Jackson does some narration here, and Mr Wolf/Mr White talks to brad Pitt over the phone! The bear jew is Eli Roth a excellent horror director. Hos movie Clown, is terrifying! Pull up a short here, type in Eli Roths' Clown! Also he does something very smart here, to try snd smoke out shoshana. During the lunch scene, everything he offered her to eat and drink, is non Kosher!😮😮😮
21:37 Landa ordering Strudel with cream was a test. Back then cream was often made with lard due to rationing. Lard is not kosher, so Jews would usually refuse to eat it. He knows that. Since he suspects her of being Shoshana he ordered it to a) see if she eats it b) humiliate her.
This is clearly a very well made and entertaining movie.
But people should not forget that the "good" in this movie commit several war crimes to entertain the viewer.
By calling the enemy "Nazis" some viewers might forget that those people are german soldiers at first. And even when their beliefs are at least highly debatable those people are still humans.
We are also talking about the 40s. The political opinions of average americans these days could shock a modern audience too.
1:36 "Is this Fassbenders big breakout role?" I don't think so. He got on my radar three years prior to Inglourious Basterds, when he played in 300. That's what got him into big action hollywood.
All Tarantino movies are good! Even those with minor or no credits such as True Romance Desperado El Mariachi Dusk til dawn, Death Proof, he even did an episode or 2 of Alias! His first written and directed is still my favorite. Reservoir dogs is very few sets locations, and dialogue heavy! Also churchills assistant here is Mike Myers!😮😮😮 Also the original inglorious basterds was done in the 70s. Totally different tho.
Quentin has called Hans Landa his most challenging character, and was close to abandon the film because he couldnt find the perfect actor for it. Until Christoph Waltz auditioned. Because Christoph was relatively unknown to the other actors, Quentin told him to under-perform during rehearsals so that the actors would be taken by surprise during filming. Christoph got an Oscar for the perfomance.
Hi Colette, if u liked Christoph in this movie check out Django (tarantino) and the carnage by roman Polanski.
Really love your vids, keep up this good job!!!
The allies actually stopped trying to kill him because he was making so many mistakes. It makes no sense to kill him in this movie in 1944.
Mélanie Laurent, the French actress who played Shoshana, is Jewish in real life and she also played a Jewish heroine of sorts in a 2018 film 'Operation Finale' where she played the part of one of a team of Israeli special agents hunting down the escaped Nazi Adolf Eichmann in Argentina in 1960 to bring him to trial in Israel.
So cool, you definitely gotta make reactions to other Tarantino movies, like hateful eight, and kill Bill, those are my favorites😊
This movie opens with one of the best slow-build tension scenes in movie history. And it wasn't even the best slow build tension scene in this movie. Drei Gläser!
Im taking a guess here, but the ending woods scene....i would swear it's the same location that was used for the Cohen brothers, Miller's crossing!
I suggest you watch Defiance (2008). Based on a true story of Jews fighting back against the Nazis as partisans. It stars Daniel Craig and Liev Schreiber.
My advice is to watch every Q.T. movie that exists. They're all brilliant. Especially if you're studying acting. The related 'b-reel' stuff and interviews and whatnot can also be pretty good for these movies.
13:28 perfect elk call 😮😅
I remember during my studies in the US we went to a discotheque (as a german) and i odered one beer, the waitress accustically didnt understood me and said " THREE?" and i said " no ONE" and put up my thumb to show her by sign language i only wanted one. The rest of the night i was walking around with three beer. So I instantly knew he was dead when he did that weird 3 fingers. lessons for life!
Discotheque eh? Love the throwback word, it's not something most young people now would use. Nowadays we just call it a bar or club. Good stuff, see how knowing other cultures broadens the mind, eh? I love it.
Some people also say three with the middle finger, ring and pinkie held up. If you need a reference for that in the original Spiderman movie with Toby Mcguire, when he is fighting Bone Saw in the cage match, Bone Saw holds up three fingers that way to signify three minutes.
Colette really dolled herself up for this reaction. Extra pretty.
Really enjoyed your reaction and breakdown of the scenes.
That song was from a 60's Spaghetti Western.
Just a suggestion. Predestination 2014 with Eathan Hawke.. its science fiction ... if some future poll comes up consider this. Cheers!
have you already seen reservoir dogs and pulp fiction? those movies are filled with top notch dialog, tension, and both tell a really great story Imo.
No I have not yet - Pulp Fiction kind of scares me and I do not know why. It looks gory 😅
@@ColetteCherry I think you can handle it np, even more I think you would like it a lot.
Even when ain’t no math involved they wear they brain on they sleeeve😂😂
One of my favorite film with probably the best youtube reactor is a certefied banger ❤
You need to watch 'Das Boot' - it's an absolute masterpiece; it's about a German submarine and its crew in WWII, and is simply a work of genius. I guarantee you will LOVE it! You should also check out 'Natural Born Killers' which Tarantino was involved in - I think the film is excellent, but it can be a tough watch for some.
@@hannahpumpkins4359 I agree, a masterpiece and a must watch!
the old version though
i thought you wanted to make movie someday, and haven’t seen quentin tarantino’s movies? you gotta watch them all!
From a young age to 20 - I watched primarily TV shows and old classic films.
My favorite tv shows were Gossip girl and Disney channel shows lol.
I also watched a lot of films with my grandmother. Dirty Dancing, Gone With The Wind, Pride and Prejudice, were some of our favorites. I always stayed away from certain types of film just because I was more entertained by love stories at the time. Now I am opening up to new genres like this and other history / war films! Thanks for being here, I’m enjoying this exploration.
The scene where Hans Lands offered her cake with the cream is really important btw. Cream in that time was made with a little pig fat In it, and not kosher. So Jews wouldn’t eat it. Its an awesome detail from Quentin Tarantino
Ironically, America had a big time German actress, who was a spy and brilliant. She invented triple axel or gimble targeting systems for planes and tanks and subs, which made them far more accurate and is also called the mother or grandmother of WiFi. I believe it was heddy Lamar!
If the farmer at the beginning hadn't told Landa the truth, he still would have found the hiding family, but the farmer's family would have died too. He had no choice but to protect his family.
0:01 It's the way he showed the 3 with his fingers. He gave himself away by using, what we call the "British hand gesture".
To show 3 by hand, germans use : "Thumb, index and middle fingers", while british use "index, middle and ring fingers"
My high school German teacher warned his students, when in German-speaking countries, if you want to order one, and hold up just the index finger, you will get two. I was not enough of a smartass to ask if you flip them the bird, do you get three.
@@MGower4465 and hes wrong, since thats how we ask for one beer. atleast the most common way
@@MGower4465 It's not just Germans, most Europeans in general start with the thumb when counting.
@@frenchfan3368 Russians include thumb only as third, not earlier.
